I'm confused by this story. Brood 1 happened a few years ago in the Southeast and Midsouth. We're now in the middle of Brood II, which is in the Northeast, yes? Right?

Oh, I don't know about that. I've heard some really nasty comments about both women. Miley is a hick or trash or a slut. Beyonce is a slut or money-hungry or faking a pregnancy because she's an unfeeling career woman who doesn't want to "ruin" her body (craziest idea ever).

You make an excellent set of points. I will say I thought twerking was just a teenager thing, but then, my age is clearly showing. Truthfully, I didn't know it was anything until recently. Because I am old, alas.

Jennifer Aniston's hair looks like a French braid, without any agenda attached to it.

I need the applicator. And it is not because my ladyparts are unseemly. It's so that I can get it far enough into the right spot. I'm not comfortable with OB tampons. The last time I used one ... the words 'stuck' and 'wrong spot' ensued. Never again.

I guess we'll just have to accept it. heh.

I knew I was really getting older when I saw twerking and thought unkind things about how uncomfortable and stupid it looked.

So. Not able to read the other posts, eh? Okay, then. Bless your heart.

Oh sweetie, you keep believing that. But, multiple posts of people asking what you are talking about should tell you a different story. Your sad little ego just won't let you go there.

My reading comprehension is fine. You just can't write with any sort of meaning. The ideas in your head must go onto the page. Let me repeat: you must put the ideas in your head on the page.

I agree. I feel guilt because I have to work and oddly, because I love to work outside the home, as well as in. I know it's misplaced baloney, for the most part, but there it is, looking at me when I have to grade on a Saturday afternoon, and she wants to go to the park immediately. It's good to at least discuss it.

So, let's see: On a thread about Roseanne Barr, one or two individuals make a joke, one that I would not like, but that I do not see. Nor, You comment about prison jokes/male rape. I comment with, basically, that's true. The attitude to male and female rape is part of patriarchal attitudes. Then, you go crazy and…

You are not making any sense. Seriously. What in the world are you talking about? Roseanne? Prison rape? Rape jokes? You are having a discussion all by yourself here, that only you understand.

At what post? The post about Roseanne acting a little odd? I'm not sure it really qualifies as a time for "feminist rage." Also, how is feminist rage different from regular rage? I'm intrigued.

I agree. This question is useless. Everyone is deserving. It is all heartbreaking, difficult, and unfair.

I agree. Lately, these stories ... ugh. It's not okay to use the mentally ill as fodder for your humor.

I agree. And I'm very annoyed at the idea writers are going to start removing posts they don't like. Will this become a thing, because it's incredibly not okay?

Amanda Bynes evidently has a mental illness. I mean, I don't normally just jump out and diagnose people I don't know, but this whole thing is incredibly pitiful and sad. Her desire to be another person, whatever skin color she chooses, is probably part of that illness. I'm reluctant to be on the judgment train about…

See now, that piece of information is very depressing. It means she's clueless.

Sadly true.
