Me too! I was usually into the "smart girl" in whatever shit I was into, but Claudia's effortless cool and amazing style made her my favourite by far.

I was raped and would rather see the boy rehabilitated than imprisoned.

I often think about what I'd like to have happened to the 17 year old boy who raped me when I was 15. I never reported it (I knew very well what happened to girls who accused someone of raping them), but even now I'm glad that I didn't. I'm not particularly interested in punishing him, and I'm not a fan of the prison…

I didn't know any kids my age who were into Backstreet/Spice/Britney/whatever. I'm sure there were some, but for the most part kids my age listened to grunge/alt rock and the teen pop stuff seemed to be more for middle school age kids or even younger. However, I was a huge New Kids fan in the early 90s. Had the comic…

I don't think you really have to pick. I was born in 83 and my most distinct childhood memories are from the late 80s and early 90s. I was too old for things like the late-90s teen pop craze, so I don't think I can totally identify as a 90s kid.

This is gross, but probably not a good idea to go around sharing the screenshot - it only helps to publicize the victim's name.

I am concerned about the reading comprehension level of some of the people who have responded to this.

Totally. I'm brown and from a lower-middle class neighbourhood in Canada, and really don't have much in common with the characters, but Hannah's ridiculous romantic life reminds me a lot of my own in my early 20s. Shit was confusing, I didn't know my own mind half the time, I slept with lots of weird people just to do…

Bravo!

Bless your heart.

FWIW, I'm a woman of colour and I agree with you. I don't expect that white people can really understand what it's like to grow up as a minority, the same way that I don't think that men really understand what it's like to be a woman. I think that if someone invests a lot of time and energy trying to unlearn their…

Did anyone else watch Glee tonight? Because it sort of seemed like they dealt with transphobia in a relatively reasonable manner... and then proceeded to be super problematic in dealing with sex work. Any other takes?

Another wonderful song about cunnilingus, courtesy of Frank Black/Black Francis.

Have you seen A Very Potter Musical? Because Draco totally has the hots for Hermione and he and Ron sing this song about falling in love with her at the Yule ball:

Even with the change, this title confused the shit out of me.

The perfect and most horrifying gif for this moment.

Considering that 85% of the NYPD are men, and that the majority of those people suspected of sex work are women, I think that the way gender factors into the power dynamics of arrests is definitely worth discussing (although you're right that it should be unpacked a bit more).

Meh. It wasn't a very serious apology. She mostly used it as an opportunity to make a joke.

Did that man really just refer to Oprah's "tig ol' bitties"?!?! I am no worshipper of Oprah, but have a little fucking respect. Fuck.

I didn't get it either until I bought my first vibrator. Total game changer for me.
