How did Lindsey's SLUT shirt never catch on?

For really real though? Some kids really are gifted. Some kids really are more intelligent than the others. In the school board I grew up in, all kids get tested with the same test in public school regardless of demographic and gifted classes happen or don't regardless of parental pushing or how much they believe their…

People really don't recognize her hustle. She was/is a straight D-lister, per her old show. She worked that angle to become a popular underdog and icon in her own right. She was never bitchy or came across as greedy. She makes jokes about being bitchy and greedy but at the end of the day she comes across as honest. I…

I read this, "...Christian cults..." as Christian cunts. Somehow that seems to work as well!

She says "as a rape survivor" in the article.

It's weird how violent hentai-ish stuff like this gets routinely demonized even though there's plenty of even sketchier stuff in fanfiction/slashfic that never really gets called out, like statutory rape (yes, third year Harry Potter getting patronumed by Snape's wand is basically written kiddie porn, people).

I'm having a hard time wording what bothers me about this article. Obviously, rape porn is going to stir up strong emotions, but still . . . Maybe it's just because there's such a divide between the early part of the article, which is all You Can Panic Now, and the later parts, which are so much more even-handed—like…

The great thing about Facebook is that, unlike Twitter, it does actually let you post more than 140 characters at a time.

Then why, exactly, did she just say it wasn't any more complicated? You can't have a more nuanced conversation if one side is insisting that the issue is merely that people haven't seen their bumper sticker before.

If only all the women who don't have Women's Studies degrees and say they aren't feminists because they "like being feminine" or "don't believe in female supremacy" got such benefit of the doubt.

Emma, you don't have an intersectional feminism if you can't admit that there's a little bit more to feminism than "just believing in equality." Saying that there are no valid reasons for not identifying as feminist, only misogynistic reasons, broadcasts how little you know about feminism and its history of…

If men's bodies and sexuality (straight) were scandalized and policed the way women's and girl's bodies and sexualities are, they'd have more of a reason to feel empowered by breaking the 'rules' and showing skin on their own terms or being openly sexual. But that's not the world we live in.

Here is my Leonard Nimoy story.

I hate to say it, but... the American Right sorta nails it on actually being positive about America as a concept. That isn't to say that they are honest about it, but the fact is that even as a pretty liberal person I get really tired of the constant stream of "OMG AMERICA IS THE WORST" from my liberal friends.

As much as I would love to have Chris Evans' butt in all media I consume, I disagree on both counts.

You're right that oppression doesn't have to be equal or happen in the same way for both groups to be considered marginalized. But that's not exactly the issue with aces being considered "queer" - it's that, in calling them queer, there is an argument that their oppression is both more or less equal, and happens in…
