Annie probably got the idea from Grace Jones. In My Jamaican Guy, she makes out with a masculine version of herself.

I hope they give the Katie Holmes character some genuine dimensionality. Sorry but I’m not fooled by the innocent lamb pose, swallowed whole by the commentariat. After even the most superficial googling of Scientology, Tom, or Nicole — what bride-to-be would have imagined she was entering a “normal” marriage? Nobody…

I think we’re moving to closer to eugenics every time one of these extreme situations occurs - where people artificially create a baby with the characteristics they choose, discarding the ones that don’t meet their criteria, completely taking nature and chance out of the equation. THAT’S eugenics.

I think my biggest “huh” moment with respect to gender roles is when it was pointed out to me that your typical “geek” is just as hypermasculine as your typical “jock” when you look at it from the right angle.As male geeks, a great deal of our identity is built on the notion that male geeks are, in some sense,…

I am suggesting that old men should stop having kids.

so you think births over age of 60 is a bad idea, but you hate assholes that say births over age of 60 is a bad idea

I don’t think that’s an equivalent comparison. Men and women can have and enjoy sex for decades after age 60. Sex doesn’t only happen for the sole purpose of recreation.

But Cotler’s statements, including many others throughout the film, struck me in this context because they amplified the undercurrent of the snotty record store dude trope, a category into which male record nerds also sometimes fall—the territorial and almost paranoid ownership over music knowledge and guardianship…

Ah, the late Condescending Record Store Guy. Survived by his son, Condescending GameStop Dude.

So, my brother and I go into a record store in our college town, asking for Huey Lewis and The News Greatest Hits (hey, it was great) on vinyl....THE JUDGEMENT WAS HORRIFIC. How rude. Left a yucky taste in my mouth. Still, got the record, anyway, SUCK IT, ENCORE RECORDS. I started going to another one nearby, the guy…

...customers/readers who felt I could not possibly know more than they did...

i identify so much with jenny that instead of being happy i am like

Just wondering, but how do you mean it would ruin him financially to pay child support for 2 kids when (I assume?) it isn’t ruining him financially that you have 2 kids now? Do you mean like that your household income wouldn’t cover the added expense of having two separate houses/apartments big enough for kids instead…

Who cares about him, let’s talk about how adorable SHE is. The hair, the dress, it’s all amazing.

There’s nothing spiteful about a woman giving the child she just gave birth to her own last name. It’s messed up that 95% of children have just their father’s family name and that women have to comply with that norm or else face judgemental backlash.

Mark, I’m an adoptive parent. I say this with total love and empathy - find an excellent adoption agency that will talk straight to you about the loss, trauma, and grief inherent in adoption for your future child, their family of origin, and you and your husband. An agency that will council expectant moms on their…

This type of relationship with a parent is a fact for a lot of us. The weird “Why aren’t we closer?” questions have answers people definitely do not want to hear. It is an impasse. Gah. I know the situation well.

Hi, vegan here. The difference is vegans don’t eat eggs, dairy or any other products that come from animals. Vegetarians just don’t eat meat. Most of us are fine, but you only see the shitty PR because who wants to hear a story about a boring and completely normal vegan? We don’t all throw red pant at people (although…

Seriously! Have you been to Cuba Madeline? Lived there? Know any Cubans? You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, and as an actual Cuban the only thing that offends me about this photo is the lighting

Kept Cubans in misery? How many Cubans do you know? Do you think all cubans have that opinion of Castro? How much do you think the US embargo against Cuba had to do with misery? How much of that was really castro’s fault, and how much was the fault of the US who funded supervised an invasion of cuba? How much do you…
