I thought it was called a Manic Pixie Dream Girl? Rose by any other name...

I think she is saying it is exploitative; girl on girl is an easy way to make money and attract attention to a film.

The author wasn't very fond of the movie. She said they pornified it. “The gay and queer people laughed because it’s not convincing, and find it ridiculous," Maroh said of reaction to the film, according to the Times. "And among the only people we didn’t hear giggling were” the “guys too busy feasting their eyes on…

I think the key is to think of them as children. Not as in talking down, but as in trying to reason with a child who wants sugar before dinner. Kind of like the CTFD parenting method: your rage just feeds them and spins them further out of control. Still working on not foaming at the mouth myself.

Okay, so I am going to admit I follow the family on Facebook. They are constantly raising money for charities and have some sort of anti-bullying scholarship. They don't exhibit any hate or abusive activities and Mama June is pretty feminist. I wonder if the public scrutiny is getting to them because they still…

In my day we called it KinderWhore. (see: Courtney Love and Kat Bjelland)

Oh, Lord ....of the Flies. We are going to overpopulate and then either eat each other in a Zombie Apocalypse, or the Chinese will turn us American fatties into Soylent Green. Might as well start prepping now.

I have Asperger's and had bulimia. It was more about trying to make myself normal, like if I just had that perfect bod I would magically transform into a charismatic version of myself.

Studies are now showing the profile is a little different for women.

I feel like its the right-wing spin to say "Oh look at the catty feminists, they can't stand the girly girl" when its more about the media pushing a certain type.

For me, Deschanel represents the Stepford Wife Mentality a la Indie. A return to sugar and spice and everything nice, pleasing to men, Hellogiggles. The problem is not her, its the media pushing her as "acceptable" and yet still saying to female comedians that women aren't funny. Here you go, ladies, you want to be…

For me the issue has nothing to do with girlishness, its more like "women aren't funny" unless they put on lots of make-up and act pleasing to men. Its the media image, not her personally. Female comedians still get shit, but the media loves Deschanel, especially men, because she's not a disagreeable, "complaining"…

The difference between humans and other mammals is it takes human offspring 18 friggin years to mature, whereas other animals like horses pop out of the womb with the ability to walk. Think of a puppy; in one year its more or less full grown. If human babies could grow into men in one year, we wouldn't need mates to…

That's it, I've had enough of the rich girl appropriation of stripping culture. Its not a glamorous profession; its sad. It's like they're trying to be 'bad girls'... but strippers aren't 'bad girls', their f-ing poor and trying to feed themselves... and they're not feeding themselves kale. Go back to the country…

"Private Family Matter" by Victor Rivas Rivers is on this subject. He came from a DV home and later while on an acting gig filmed at San Quintin, he discovered that the majority of violent criminals come from violent homes. However the inverse is not true; because someone comes from a DV home does not automatically…

Great, now our cool old pics of Grandma are subject to photoshopping. Shouldn't we just plug ourselves into the Matrix already?

Acid attacks are a big problem as well... there have been at least 92 in the past 6 months. Most women/girls are attacked by a stalker after rejecting them "If I can't have you, no one can". http://www.stopacidattacks.org/

These guys (or ensuing trolls to thread) need to check out "Tough Guise" by Jackson Katz or this recent article by the Huff Post about how sexism hurts males. Men aren't allowed to show any emotions except rage, so they are less likely to seek treatment out of shame.

Just to add: he WAS walking on his way home... that's where he was going when Zimmerman stopped him from doing so!

Can we start a pool for how long it takes him to shoot someone else? I picture him paranoid as f*ck, sweating, shaking, in an empty room with a bare bulb swinging, talking to himself. His trigger finger is itchy and twitchy.
