Women aged 0 to 100 get sexually abused and raped. It is not about how you look, how you dress, or what you do, it is ONLY about what men do to women. End of discussion, Mayim...

As stated above, I held the same equally dumb belief. Now I don’t and you don’t either, so something was achieved today.

A star for a rare display of grace on Jezebel. We do all make mistakes and I’m pretty sure there’s no more need for “you’re wrong!”or (c’mon...) “you’re anti-Semitic,” given Hemmerling for Mitchell seems to have figured out he was wrong sometime between “you’re wrong” nos 1 and 2...

Until today I thought it was a real thing too, but only for Hasidim. I’m sure I saw it in a documentary too. Being that I live nowhere near Brooklyn and have never met a Hasidic Jew, and they’re apparently not big on talking about their sex lives to outsiders anyway (who is?), I’d never questioned it until today.

There was a lot not to like in my 10 years in the US, but Thanksgiving is legit. Except for the awful turkey bit (usually redeemed by good mac and cheese), the big get-together, lots of wine, no need to buy presents part? That’s my kind of holiday.

Yes! We need to start telling the accused that the system is unfair, it’s so obviously wrong that they have been targeted while they obviously know others that are still getting away with it... so BURN IT ALL DOWN, GUYS.

“The Muslims started it!”

WHAT? That is some A-grade Dina Lohan shit. No wonder poor Britney didn’t get any help before she cut all her hair off... I used to think that was “custody battle looming, destroy hair evidence of drug use,” now I think it may have been “Mum? Mum? Notice this?”

Agreed. I’ve been single for three years because divorce with a small child is hard (or at least for non-celebrities?) but I’d be right back into serial monogamy if I could find me the right man (carefully and with a lot of time before he’d ever meet my son, obviously.) Some people just like being in relationships, it…

Find me a half-decent psychologist who *won’t* say “actually drug use, cries for attention/validation, angry outbursts and attempts at disengagement if not outright dissociation (i.e the rap ‘alter ego’) are all textbook symptoms of trauma” and you’ve got yourself a psychologist who needs to lose their license.

I was married for eight years, with my ex for 13. For me, personally and culturally, marriage is for life and divorce is not an option. So when my ex completely changed and became an unrecognizable monster when I got pregnant and had our son, “you made your choice, yes it was a terrible one, but you have to live with…

I don’t think it makes me a better person. And I’m sure you’re correct about my attitude being way behind the times, my own 64-year-old mother once suggested we both get a tattoo “for fun” and obviously (because I’m me) I said no, nope, zero interest. My auntie and cousin (similar ages) got nose piercings together,…

It’s certainly different. Perhaps unsurprisingly for such an individualistic society, the strong (Protestant/Evangelical at least) emphasis on “your personal relationship with Jesus” (cue Depeche Mode!) always stood out to me as very unique and... very odd. I’m not even going to get into “prosperity gospels” and all…

I’m thinking of a friend who has a son with Down Syndrome in the US (progressive Los Angeles, California!) and was ‘uppity’ enough to demand the appropriate early intervention resources for him. She was told “well you chose to have him,” (yes, she did, which was her right, remember those things?) by one government…

Again, I never said anything about people getting tattoos “as a memorial” to a loved one, rather people (like Bieber) who get them to “remember” a loved one who is still alive. Justin, just call your mum!

Please educate me. I know hundreds of people with tattoos and their reasons (except native tribal tattoos which I have no quarrel with at all... unless you don’t belong to the community and just think it looks cool, you are disrespecting my community!) are always a) it reminds me of someone or b) I just like the way…

Right. Only where I live a lot of mums stress like crazy and sometimes kids go hungry because dad wanted to spend $500 on some more “body art.” So it does hurt other people... I guess you’re lucky not to have to worry about money.

So... by my definition that I provided, you’re not at all an idiot. How is a suit supposed to cover that thing on Bieber’s neck?

Got me in one. No friends, no social life, no depth at all. I bet when *you* talk about your pet hate people bow down because it’s so noble (hint: pet hates are by their nature, petty and trivial things that drive you mad, and most of us have them.)

Of course they are. And other people can and will have opinions about what they do... I don’t see myself shaming or sexualizing anyone, but do I mock people who claim their tattoos are to remember (as apparently was not clear) people who are still alive, like Bieber’s mother or my child...
