Because "lonely geek wank-room" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

There are a lot of "table gaming weirdos" who read this site, and would have nothing to do with a "rape room". That comment was uncalled for.

I am SO SO SO disappointed. Harrison's is the go to comic book store on the North Shore. I went there to get all my Scarlet Witch comics as a kid, and still pop in when I visit home. They were actually a generally chill place, although I've never been into the basement game room, so the fact that this happened has…

This is almost certainly the origin — I would also imagine that the name was originally coined by a female because, let's face it, men don't normally consider whether a room's isolation/lighting/etc. makes it more or less likely that they will be sexually assaulted. It's also likely that same inability to empathize…

Even as a nickname for 'generically spooky place', the fact that they didn't GET why a woman would feel uncomfortable around something called a Rape Room— or offer to explain it, or change the nickname— that speaks volumes.

Probably it was a totally stupid joke about the room being isolated/messy/vaguely spooky and somebody said "this is the type of place where people get raped." And because some men are idiots, it stuck as a nickname.

Here's the thing I hate about this "debate:"

True Blood has given us Alexander Skarsgard and his beautiful ass, and so I don't hate it, even though it really turned out to be so incredibly terrible and disappointing. :/

In addition, a lot of women who have abortions are married and already have children, so they DEFINITELY know what it's all about.

I went hunting for my first ultrasound photo:

Agreed. I'm not criticizing Milano for saying it. But come on, people. Credit where credit is due, that was a sick burn!

Here's my thing as a fat woman.

Oh, so that's what that look is...and here I thought it was narcissism. Maybe it's a lighting problem.

I know! Right now (aka in the first two movies) Peeta is as smart and as strong as any normal Young man. It's not his fault that, this time, he has to fight against so many trained Killers.

I was thinking the best way to end Mockingjay 1 would be with Peeta jumping up from his hospital bed and trying to strangle Katniss. FADE TO BLACK.

If Catching Fire is exactly like Empire Strikes Back, then that means Mockingjay is exactly like Return of the Jedi. Except that, in Jedi, Leia wasn't killed, Luke did not become a PTSD-afflicted shell of a human being, and the Ewoks weren't burned alive along with the rest of the Endor Forrest.

You should submit this to Real Simple magazine for their #simpletips. I bet they'd love it!

Ya, I too have found lipstick to be pretty skin tone (more the cool/warm tone thing though, than skin color) dependent. I think in a color like that I might look like I've just been eating purple Popsicles, but maybe a purple that's less jewel tone and a bit warmer/pinker?
