The public publish isn’t the problem... it is the lack of review and the people not understanding that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

My favourite modern retelling of P&P is still the YouTube series The Lizzie Bennet Diaries.

It should be noted that a chemical being on the IARC list of “possible” carcinogens is not terribly indicting; the threshold to get on that list is very very low. Caffeine is on it, for instance, as are aloe Vera, ginkgo biloba, “carpentry and joinery”, diesel fuel, dry cleaning, pickled vegetables, magnetic fields,…

Sigh remember Selfie? Geez how I loved that show. And John Cho is legit my #1 dreamboat.

*for women.

I know this is pretty far back in the discussion at this point, but I have to point out the clear false equivalence in this. Blind people will obviously be using their ears and walking sticks to figure out where they’re at to accommodate for their lack of sightedness. If you want a comparison that works, then compare…

It should be like, if you’re hit by a vehicle while texting you forfeit your right to any legal action against the driver. Also insurance won’t cover your medical bills because your idiocy is on you.

Right? Dude sounds like a child. He’s not taking care of anything around the house and expects his wife to waltz in and tell him how wonderful he did? I get that he’s depressed and it can feel like piling on, but you have to realize that the world keeps moving when you’re depressed. You don’t get to stop just because…

#1 is case in fucking point that feminism helps men too

Not sure, I think thank you notes are supremely stupid (at least in many/most situations). I think as long as you acknowledge the nicety, that should be enough. If you’re gonna see the person in the next 2-ish weeks, just thank them in person. If you’re not, then a thank you call, or a thank you email, accomplishes…

I am probably going get a lot of shit for this (I am not a troll, I swear), but the animals people get upset about eating and not eating have just never made sense to me. Like cows, ok. Pigs, ok. Horses, NOT OK. Dogs, NOT OK. Is it level of cuteness? Like Fido is your bff but a baby pig could be someone else’s bff and…

“But I kept wishing that, unlike the book, the entire film was told from Lacks’s perspective and set mostly in the ’40s and ’50s.”

Caitlyn is a fascinating look into what white male privilege looks like on a woman. White women have their own sense of privilege but this Caitlyn mess is a whole different beast. She’s got like, super-duper privilege and watching her open her gob and consistently embarrass herself is one of my last remaining…

If you’re anti-abortion but respect that it’s your personal decision and are cool with letting others do whatever they want because they ALSO get to make that personal decision, by all means join us.

I think you can be a feminist and anti-abortion, but you can’t be a feminist and be anti-choice. Feminism isn’t about the right to “live out our womenhood.” It’s about working to liberate women from the oppression of the kyriarchy. Feminists don’t have to see abortion as an option for themselves, but attempting to…

Uhh. No. Marla didn’t “get her ass knocked up.” Trump knocked her up. Women don’t “get themselves pregnant.” Some tool who refused to wear a condom did.

Hillary Clinton is probably literally the most scrutinized person in the history of planet. From the number of tell-all books written about her to the congressional investigations to the Citizens United videos to the fact that there is an entire non-profit dedicated to just suing her and her husband non-stop. …

It’s possible that she’s asexual or has a very low libido, and due to the conservative background she comes from believes that all women are like that, so the only reason they have sex is because men want it (doesn’t really explain women who have sex with women, of course).

People can choose chastity for whatever reason they want. It doesn’t make it okay to make fun of them. They choose not to have sex. How does that in any way affect you? It doesn’t.

Maybe cuz that damn ant is obviously going to drown.
