I don’t think these posts actually do any good. I think they are more harmful as they create unrealistic impressions of other cultures and encourage American Exceptionalism. See all the commentators who are posting about how ALL Indian men are misogynistic and then look at how many stars these comments receive and the…

It’s frustrating seeing videos like these posted for clicks and comments on Jezebel. This video was not made to enlighten the West about acid attacks. It is part of a local campaign to put pressure on government officials to regulate the sale of acids. This is missed by the commenters, who eat this stuff up with a…

Can I ask who took care of your newborn? I imagine it’s very difficult for many women to find affordable, trustworthy help especially without a subsidized childcare program. Who looks after the baby for all these women who go back to work after two weeks? there’s not a lot of places that offer paternity leave.

There is nothing wrong with what Amandla has written. She’s identified and beautifully explained the double standard black women experience. However, she has personified this problem and made Kylie Jenner responsible for what she is not the cause of. This is a big trend and a big problem in discussions about race and…

Isn’t she just quoting Beyonce’s song flawless? She wouldn’t be the first to quote a lyric.

Their Latin is shite as well.

A lot of people think that the U.S. or any western power that intervenes will be held up as heroes and saviours, but this is not the case. There needs to be action from the Arab League taken without European or American support. Once they have launched a strong and united stand against ISIL then other countries can…

I would say that a well timed swat on the bum or tap on the hand is a less damaging thing than a skinned knee. Sometimes kids are acting soooo irrational that you cannot reason with them and it is not possible to wait it out. A little tap is very shocking to them and it generally gets their attention. I don’t think…

Ok, from what I’ve gathered and some hard thinking on the matter I’ve come up with the following conclusions: we cannot know how she identifies or how she sees herself because we are not her, we don’t understand her motives, we are not in her head. So we have to remove from the equation the argument that she’s lying…

Google philosophers discuss Rachel Dolezwhateverhername for a good discussion with people who study the philosophy of race and what it means, some divided opinions and interesting reflections there

There’s a good book you can read on this subject - it’s academic, but well written for a lay audience: Why the French Don’t Like Headscarves by John Richard Bowen.

If you live in a dense urban area, however, there are no places in the CPEs. You have to wait until your kid is 3 before being called and at that point a lot of people decide that switching them out of private, where they can receive up to 75% back in the form of advanced tax credits and can claim the entire amount on…

Maybe just try walking, give yourself a goal of doing a certain distance and then increase it gradually. I think seeing a physical therapist is very good idea. It may be expensive but you should make a budget and see if the cost for a certain duration of time could be manageable for you. Ultimately, it will benefit…

That’s awful. At least you had the right attitude and went out and had some fun. You sound like an awesome person who handles shit getting flung at them like they’re coated in Teflon.

Honestly, he was pretty much as good a sport in this circumstance as someone can be. It doesn’t sound like he felt entitled to have sex with you. As you say he was confused by your sudden rejection and obviously bothered that your feelings for your ex were so strong (because he kept asking if you were really over it…

Relentless is the right word. They always seem to want you when you are busy with something personal or important or dangerous. Like I was trying to clean the cat litter yesterday and my 2 year old wont leave me alone and is basically demanding that I hold him or play with him, he kept repeating “Mama, I want you” “ I…

no, her sister is there to highlight how Americanized Meghan has become. Her sister is emblematic of what Quebec society was like in the 1960s, suggesting she could get an annulment, scandalized by her mother, ie: decades behind.

People keep talking about doctor’s pushing for unnecessary c-sections, but my question is how many patients really know enough to adequately judge whether the doctor is erring too far on the side of caution? The idea that you need to have an emergency situation before considering a c-section is a dangerous one. Most…

Don't go to grad school. The job market sucks. The hoops you have to jump through will be arduous and pointless. Unless your ideal goal is to become a professor and bear in mind that there are no jobs, grad school is a waste of money and time. Don't put your life on hold for 5-7 years for a PhD.

I was buying a minivan with my husband and we were trying to take out the second row seats. The salesperson was insisting it was super easy, but he forgot the steps of how to do it, so he struggles - pushing it forward, tilting it, pushing it back in place. I remember my Dad's minivan and you have to fold the seat in…
