I'm a Jewish anti-zionist and socialist, and that didn't hit my anti-semitism sensor (and one of my pet causes is fighting Israel's rhetoric on conflating Jewishness with Israeliness). I wouldn't call Oxfam lefty either unless you come from the American school of everything left of Reagan is socialism — which I guess…

"And there's no right side or wrong side leaning on this issue."

I'm sorry, "I don't support this lifestyle or whatever"? That's the reaction you'd have to someone being a convicted child molester? Child molestation is not a "lifestyle." What the actual fuck, ScarJo?

They're the most dangerous for cops? They have guns. It's way more dangerous for women.

Wow, I can't believe she was brave enough to report the assault to the police, after a police officer himself assaulted her. I'm not sure I'd be able to do that. I hope she gets the justice she deserves.

oh lord, the outer boroughs? "said with love" does not get you a pass for this. ("no offense, but you're fat and ugly"? does that ever work?) you think ladies in the outer boroughs (read: poor and brown) are having babies because they don't know about birth control? uhhh, yow.

Be...cause this is something that is disproportionately affecting black and Hispanic women and that's an important detail...?

"Kids aren't ever cheap, but these costs make you really realize how far a free pack of birth control can go."

He's a good boyfriend, too. I just called him and asked if he would come over and fix the wobbly side view mirror on my car. He said he could do it but not until later tonight. Then I said well if you're going to come over later tonight instead of now, maybe you could bring dinner. He said he was planning on eating…

Male celebrities are overly photoshopped, too. Yay, equality?

I think you mean "most people in controlling, emotionally or physically abusive relationships, could provide you with a list of things their spouse will not let them do".

"His insecurity is just so masculine. I love it."

"who you love"

I seriously feel like this was another case of the Oscars holding a pity party. They do this with PWD all the time. They write versions of us that are basically a series of stereotypes meant to be pitied or serve as inspiration porn (e.g. Forrest Gump, Rainmain, etc), and then reward whatever able-bodied person they…

I would argue this isn't humor at expense of a faith - this is humor at the expense of a Hollywood depiction of a faith. I assume you don't think Jesus was a sexy white dude, since it makes no historical sense to think that and you seem pretty smart. The joke is at the expense of the casting directors and people in…

You're assuming way too much knowledge of your holidays. I and I'm sure a lot of other people had no idea that Ash Wednesday was coming up or even what it means. Beyond that, no one was making fun of Jesus the figure, but the article was making fun of the weird, white-washed, overly sexualized versions of him that are…

Yes, I was also shocked to learn that mammals have hair. Shocked.

The Barbie vs Bratz debate has always driven me crazy. The Bratz dress more Urban and Ethnic slutty then Barbie and her WASPy sluttiness. So really the argument comes down to Urban/Ethnic is worst than WASP. And then we get to the heart of the matter.

As a dude, I can say there's no experience more harrowing than someone failing to reward my mediocrity.
