Yet this info is all out there. It's all part of the public record. As is the fact that Kurt was just as much of an attention whore as she is, who compromised his art and screwed over his wife, his bandmates, and his label in pursuit of success. (Which isn't even really a criticism, as those things are basically a…

Courtney Love's this generation's Yoko Ono? You mean she's a woman artist whose work isn't particularly mainstream or easy to listen to, who is unfairly blamed for the downfall of their partner's life and career, even though the male partners in question had a variety of deeply problematic, unchecked issues that are…

Oh, hell yeah. Her friends begged her not to marry Kurt, warning her she'd never be taken seriously or get credit for her work again. Everyone has forgotten that Hole's first record was more successful, both commercially and critically, than Nirvana's was. I remember the British press derisively referring to him as…

He's just catching on? In Japan you've been able to get an abortion from a vending machine for years.

I don't really understand how this is "white appropriation." Like, where is the (exclusive) white person in this? Black women shop at Forever 21 too. Black people work at Forever 21. And I have black girlfriends who jokingly describe themselves or their actions as "ratchet" who I could see buying this necklace.

I still feel so conflicted that my ray of hope in all of this is Anonymous. I don't like them - they have fucked up royally before. But I like them - they care, and if nothing else they will force this to be pursued. It's a weird, weird, scary world.

Look up the Catholic Church abuse scandal. Nobody cared much when it was girls reporting.

Have the over 60 crowd discovered slash fiction yet? Because this movie just seems ripe for it.

I don't blame her. For Christians, it is a scary number (btw, I'm not a Christian). No one is complaining about hotels and skyscrapers that have skipped having a 13th floor. Why not remove the number from the race? It does not have to be that difficult.

No.

Link doesn't work, at least on my computer. I agree, self-reported data are terribly prone to bias, and these results can't be generalized to all populations. But hey, easy on JAMA there! More important is probably the conflict of interest of the authors.

Just a heads up that my wife and her cohorts all have a generally low opinion of JAMA as a journal. It's kind of seen as a second tier medical journal, below NEJM and others. But anyway...

I should have been clearer that I was more talking about this sentence "She fell at mile 20 and hit her head, but insisted on finishing the race, like a true runner." I hate the idea that true runners ignore injuries and keep going. That's not being a true runner, that's being stupid and putting your life / health in…

This is a discussion of systemic inequalities. It's not that men go out LOOKING for a domestically imbalanced partnership, but that's what they traditionally GET and benefit from, whether anyone wants it or not. And, by extension, that's how a lot of people (men and women!) unconsciously expect their relationships to…

Yes. So so many comments that say, "that's not what I'm looking for in marriage!", completely disregarding the fact that EVERY STUDY EVER CONDUCTED ON THE TOPIC shows that that is what men get in marriage. Even the most egalitarian marriages are just woman doing 5 more hours of childcare/housework a week than the…

The most handsome cat in the universe is unconcerned.
