Suicide is a huge health crisis in developed nations, and the issue has deep roots in gender. Note that nations with more traditional or rigid gender roles (like Japan and the Near East nations) have suicide rates that exceed those of the United States. To take a non-gendered approach to suicide would be similar to…

somewhere in the corner of the internet where they celebrate white history month, i imagine

Nope. Best practices for suicide reporting recommend not using “committed,” which sounds like a crime or, to religious communities, like a sin, and “kill yourself” is just insensitive, crude, and poorly phrased. “Died by suicide” is the phrasing recommended by mental health professionals and the American Foundation…

An even more important question for the group: Is the guy in that photo wearing benetint on his lips? He totally is, right?

Ugh Doe Deere is the biggest lying scumbag ever. Please don't buy shitty lime crime makeup, it's literally dollar store shit in a fancy package at a 300% markup. Kind of off topic but had to be said.

Mama June sucks, but she ain’t wrong.

Rape is included in sexual assault, but is not the same thing. Nobody here is saying that men are not sexually assaulted, or that it’s not a big deal when this happens to them. Someone who attempts to force themselves on a person—such as what happened to you— and fails will probably try again and succeed. That’s why…

This is great news. I’ve been dying for more specific details about this relationship for years, and I will gladly pay money to hear more about it because I’m a nosy bitch.

If Neville’s the Wrongbottom I don’t wanna be right.

It isn't a story about her loving Letterman. It's a story about her loving her dad, and the way we all struggle with human connection and with our family ties and relationships. This is an idiotic comment.

hahahaha she’s so bored BABIES THEY’RE JUST LIKE US

I DON’T REALLY KNOW WHO THIS IS BUT LOOK HOW CUTE THAT BABY IS

There’s quite a bit of elision and misinformation presented here. I truly don’t have the energy to dig into all of it, but let’s take on the scare-quoted oxybenzone and Vitamin A, for example. Retinyl palmitate, the natural form of Vitamin A that is used in sunscreens, has been proven safe by multiple rigorous,…

Did they call it “White Prom” and “Black Prom?” If a student was of mixed race or an unrepresented minority, which prom did he/she go to? Did no parents flip out? Was there no worth-a-damn history teacher that encouraged students to stand up to the administration?

I work with high school kids and when this came up in a debate, one of the very religious kids said, “THAT’S NOT TRUE, ABSTINENCE ALWAYS WORKS.”

Hmm...that’s a good question. Persian is one cat language I don’t know. Or would it be Fursi? (I’ll show myself out)

My issue with it — and I’m not going to pillory her or anything, but the reason I found it disagreeable — is that it basically boils down to “We talk too much about slavery,” and *no, we don’t.* We really, really don’t. We don’t because slavery makes people super uncomfortable in ways that, for whatever reason, the…

I posted the following in a similar thread.

No, it’s definitely not and I never said it was.
