I truly believe for abortion to remain safe and legal more and more women (like me) who had abortions and did not find the decision conflicting and do not regret them for a second are going to have to stand up and tell our stories. We need to claim our vocal place in the narrative bc right now the predominant

Wow, so much hating on this book. I thought it was an amazingly entertaining read. Flynn pulled off an interesting structure - unlikeable main characters who I still wanted to read about. I thought it was a fun, tongue in cheek look at the "cool guy" and "cool girl" facade when empty people get together. It

What bothers me about this is that he could be making a valid point if he weren't being so....Matt Lauer-y. It's true that neither men nor women can 'have it all.' And I think the fact that men, too, struggle with sacrificing family for their careers is brushed aside. Society is waaaaaaay harsher on women who

Exactly. That's kinda the thing. It's expected socially that men will do career, women will do career plus cleaning/babies/rearing.

The thing I find most grating about Iggy is that she raps in a fake accent. I'm okay with her adopting some aspects of black culture based on her experiences in the US, but there is a difference between being influenced by something and mimicking it, and Azalea's faux-Black rapping is on the wrong side of that line.

What about the rest of us that just think she's great but aren't hardcore about her?

Nailed it. I won't be following that link, it's just fucked up to even post it. So much wrong Jezebel.

...Seriously guys?

i used to stan for gaga so hard, but ever since born this way i just have no desire to ever hear her name again. and now with this terrible shit? go back to paper gangsta, you peaked then.

No, no, no, no, NO. The way you do it is, if you wanna be an adult and everything, you gotta stuff all your feelings waaaay deep inside, where they can never hurt you. Just pretend it never happened and definitely don't accuse your attacker. Making the attacker feel bad about themselves makes you a weak woman. Strong

Describing oneself as a pervert does not give someone else permission to take advantage and force that person into an uncomfortable situation they didn't explicitly consent to ahead of time. I'm sure she had some prior knowledge of his reputation and certainly tried to appeal to his perversion by saying that, it's a

I just saw this Keira Knightley quote and I will post it:

"There is an under-representation of our stories, just as there is an under-representation of us in politics and in business and everywhere. That's what feminism is [to me] right now – the recognition that we are still not equal. I absolutely love guys. I love

Oh, PLEASE. Like we can't do BOTH. IT'S CALLED STAR TREK: VOYAGER and also the FUTURE. SPACE FEMINISM, LADIES, FEMINISM IN SPACE. WOMEN GET TO WEAR SHINY SILVER JUMPSUITS ALL DAY WHILE DRIVING SPACESHIPS AND AIN'T NOTHING ANY MAN OR MALE ALIEN CAN DO ABOUT IT. GET WITH IT, LANA.

I think a huge part of it is that people think we live in a post-racial society and that they themselves are self-evidently not racist. ("Of course I can't be racist, I have black friends.") So they think, when they tell racist jokes, they're being cute and edgy instead of racist and racist.

Everyone looks better when they're standing next to mahhhble columns.

I just love when people, upon finding out I'm a lesbian, start to give me a list of all the gay people they've ever known. I know that it is some misguided attempt at trying to let me know that they are okay with gay people, but it is really, really annoying.

"No biggie for me; it would have been 84 interminable seconds of chugging Draino and 'please kill me now' that I'd never get back,"

Oh really? Well then she made a good choice by not wasting both her time and yours. Seeing you just admitted you would have been an ungrateful little shit.

Sheen is lashing out like an
