Hm...I don’t know. I think this kind of article might hurt your friend’s feelings, since she obviously wants children very badly but can’t have them.

How did the Blobfish not make this list???
Look at this thing!

As a documentarian, I used to think the AA would be the pinnacle of career. But lately, I don’t even watch them any more. It’s more indicative to me of how far we’ve fallen vs what we’ve accomplished. I haven’t become such a cynic as to think I wouldn’t love to have one, but I see the winners recently as people who

Don’t be an asshole, and don’t vape. If you do vape, then go outside.

Nobody is saying to ignore those other fights. They’re saying that by bringing them up when we are clearly talking about FGM, you’re distracting from a very important discussion. This is like a classical definition of sidetracking.

Did I ever say they weren’t? I specifically said biologically and publicly identifying as for a reason. And no I will not get out of here because you decided to come in here and derail an issue and make it about you. And if you can’t see how that bullshit “but what about circumsion” arises every single time FGM is

I haven’t seen any comment saying circumcision is “no big deal.” I’ve seen comments saying they aren’t the same, which they aren’t. They are radically different medical procedures with drastically different intentions and end results. The only people being silenced are the poor girls who undergo this procedure because

Nowhere did this article even bring up circumcision. Why is it so hard to stay on topic when it’s about an atrocity that’s done to women’s sexual organs? Why is it always, “We must discuss the penis first!”

Yes, but there’s a time and a place to talk about nonconsentual circumcision of the penis. Generally speaking, it’s not when talking about forced clitorectomies, since that’s a specific problem that has proven pernicious and needs to be stamped out.

So you are hoping for a racially/religiously motivated murder instead of depression taken to its worst possible result?

Let’s all jump to conclusions despite the lack of available evidence.

I don’t think he did it on purpose.

Bullshit. Plenty of mentally ill men don’t shoot up schools and obliterate their families.

That’s some horribly judgey, unsympathetic BS to say suicide is a selfish act. I’m not talking about this case in particular, which is clearly fucked up, but you just made a blanket statement about people who are ill and in so much pain that they don’t see another way out.

I don’t know if I would go as far as to say that suicide is a selfish act. There are plenty of people who commit suicide who are truly suffering and in their case, it may be the best thing for everyone. I’m not going to call someone dying of cancer selfish because they want to end things early and not put themselves

Now playing

Not for real? HAHAH They weren’t even the only ones to think this was an awesome idea! You are not ready to press play on this video. PREPARE YOURSELF

woah judgey much?

Every person comes out (or doesn’t) on their own terms. You can’t force someone to be a gay role model, even if they’re a celebrity. You admit in your own comment that it requires courage to come out. Also, people are entitled to privacy if they so choose, I would say especially in regard to their sex life.

I like the Kardashians a lot, I think they work hard and seem like nice people and they’re entertaining/nice to look at.
