I haven’t changed my mind about Bob Dylan. Nasal voices are nails on a blackboard, essentially, and he doubles down on it, so it’s all of the nopes for me.

Well, the italian criminal code considered a man killing his sister, wife, or daughter because she tarnished his “honor” a mitigating circumstance until the 1980s.

It won’t work right now for America as-is, but in Ireland, cops don’t have guns, unless they’re part of a special group dedicated to such things as policing drug-gang incidents or potential terrorist incidents. A garda (cop) on the street has mace and a baton. Since it’s illegal to have a gun without a licence here,…

I live in a major capital city in Australia. Most people I know have never seen gun (except on a police officer), never held a gun. Never worried that they might be shot, accidentally or on purpose. Most of them would freak out if they saw a gun in someone’s home or out in public. Here, the only people who have guns…

Why does that matter at all? Last time I checked, women are killed by men in every country.

“Probably cause you’re black.”

Questionable Pasta is my new band name!

“Fucking Americans”, is what we say about it here in Aus. Not that our government is exactly a shining beacon of light. But we had Port Arthur, and then we shut that shit right down. Only good thing Howard ever did.

oh shut up.

If you even have “hackles” that “go up” every time someone “forgets” to qualify male douchebaggery as “#notallmen”, maybe the comments section of feminist lifestyle blog isn’t for you....?

Just a word of wisdom: I don’t think I’ve EVER, in all my years of feminism, heard anyone suggest that all men are bad. When feminists talk about something that “men” are doing, that’s not an indictment of all men as evil. It’s an observation about certain behaviors that ENOUGH men participate in to be a problem. If…

Actually, I use IMDB all the time to decide on a show or movie. I don’t have a lot of time (or desire) to devote to watching garbage on tv.

Honestly, it is the most narrow-minded, weak and stupid view for these dudes to take that nothing deserves their time other than more stories from their own perspectives. My main response to the whole “chick flick” shit when I hear it these days (or “chick lit”) is a sigh of pity, because what these guys don’t get is…

m’dear, if your hackles go up when people generalize ‘all dudes’ to mean ‘all men’, you might be part of the problem. if you aren’t part of the problem, then we aren’t talking about you, so don’t worry about it :)

Hi as a dude I think I know dudosity better than you ladies so I just wanted to let you know that dudes are better at duding than you can even imagine and our opinions will not be suppressed by matriarchal terroristic censorship, bro!

The school year in Australia runs from Feb-Nov,

She was a CHILD at the time she was deemed too fragile, in what was arguably the most public rape and child custody case in the world at the time. Coming to terms with it enough to write about 20 years later doesn’t change the fact that back then, she couldn’t face it. Jesus. What doesn’t make sense is that you’re…
