And then what? What happens after you “win” this stupid game? A relationship built on deception, wherein the guy that you’re dating doesn’t really know the real you... and is attracted to this inauthentic version of you? How long do you keep that up? What are you really “winning” at here?

I don’t know if Kara Brown, former Jezebel writer and contributor to pop culture podcast “Keep It” can be reduced to “black friend”. She knows her pop culture and she is a strong voice - she spoke regularly about representation on “Keep It”. I don’t agree with her on this (I want to see a more realistic ethnic…

Completed that task in June - way ahead of the curve on this trend, lol!

Right. But sharing our stories with the people around us and making the subject less taboo to discuss openly is what changes the minds of mildly reasonable people who have never had to put much thought into any of this. And should those regular people approach the voting booth with a greater understanding of who…

It bums me out, too. Anyone who has ever lived in a remotely ag-centric area in the northern part of the country (or even relatively close to one) understands why fall is so culturally significant. In essence, it’s a time where the busiest segment of the year is finally drawing to a close - the last of the crops are…

Totally agree. I remember this timeline well, and everything she was doing at the time came off as very “bubble gum”, so Glitter seemed like a natural progression further into the land of disposable nonsense... which, anything being released in that moment wasn’t going to do as well as it would have otherwise, but MC…

I was at her show last Friday, feeling the same. I’d forgotten about how powerful her writing and her music are! AND her voice! Just, wow!

For a couple of decades, the rumor was that this song was about Dave Coulier and at some point within more recent years, he has said publicly that he believes that the song is about him. She hasn’t commented on it, though.

That 1 Corinthians reference cited in the article is specifically written by Paul, who was celibate (supposedly) and very clearly thought poorly of women (nevermind how Jesus himself treated them!). Most certainly the type of person who should be prescribing a frequency standard within others’ sex lives...

I grew up in the sort of environment that the author describes for Christy - devout evangelical... but not so far as to appear visibly off the deep end. I have vivid memories of things that I was told in youth group about sex, such as that we girls should be careful not to arouse boys (even brushing up against their…

She’s a villain for leaving the show before we could see the interior of her new house!

I’m really appreciating this conversation here in the comments, and might watch this piece, as well. I’ve always felt disproportionate with my big ass and barely-B-cup boobs, and I’ve been tempted over the years to look into implants. That temptation has only grown since having children (I don’t even recognize these…

Fuck yeah - bright and early this morning. But not before agonizing a bit over the fact that he has my address and phone number.

Yup! I was reminded yesterday of how much most men think that women exist entirely to be receptors of men’s proclivities, whatever they may be. I had an HVAC dude working at my house yesterday and he showed me a dick pic, not once, but twice! The first time it was ostensibly an accident - he was showing me photos on…

Sidenote: have you all been seeing the ads for Barstool Sports on here, like I have? I’m at a loss. Either Spamfeller & Co. are trolling the current crop of Deadspin writers, or Spamfeller media are just trolling themselves now...

I love that show and have watched it through about three times. Her character’s treatment by the men around her was one of the focal points of the show; not in a garish way or one that glamorizes lasciviousness, but her sexualization by those around her (and the ways that she sometimes uses it as a tool) is presented…

No, thank you!

Capped off by the text that begins with him referencing “ALLLLL of this”, as though his cute, average-sized wife is going to need to be loaded into her own, separate U-Haul truck for transport. This guy remains just as gross as he was way back when he first became lodged into pop culture consciousness. Barf!

It was the 1980s. No one really cared about kids back then. I’m saying this as a factual statement.

Ooohhh, how I wish that an air marshal had been on that flight - this dumbfuck would have been in handcuffs in 3 seconds flat on that video. And isn’t that the sort of catharsis that this nation really needs to heal itself right now? lol
