I'm glad someone said this. If you're going to be irrational about a stone aged tribal desert deity who seemingly arbitrarily and whimsically punishes mankind, at least be right about the thing in your religion that is supposedly evil. But that would ya know, actually involve knowing some the history around the Bible…

guys, she just didn't want to run.

Cut to 6 years later. They both travel too damn much to see each other, he finds her to be difficult and flighty, she finds him stodgy and boring. They have a spectacularly dramatic divorce. She goes back to the stone hut and drinks.

My sister's going to be 13 this month, and my brother's gonna be 15 in December. I tell my sister to always stick up for what feels right to her, no matter the situation. I've had really in-depth talks with them both, but especially my brother about consent and what that means and how it works. I don't know if he's…

Can we please applaud 3 News for being the kind of program that does good and helps society? These boys and the police are in hot water because of their investigation. More of this please.

I still can't really wrap my head around the fact that men aren't expected to be able to control themselves around a skirt and yet it's women who shouldn't be trusted with nuclear codes because of periods.

My sister just turned 13 today. I can't even freaking imagine the rage I would feel to be a family member or friend of those 13-year-old girls, or any of the other victims, while having to witness the police blatantly brush this off and shrug their shoulders.

Huh. I guess just walking around with a vagina is asking for it according to some people. People (both men and women) are unbearably ignorant about rape and unbelievably cruel. Seriously, why is it easier to tell a 13 year old child that she was asking to be assaulted than to actually break up a gang of criminals…

lol. but then, aren't Wburg, Bushwick, etc the only parts of Bk that really matter? ;-) The day I hear the hipster baristas where I get coffee talking about how they just got a really cool loft space in East New York....that's the day I'll know it's time to move out of this city entirely.... these hipsters and…

I want to un-star this comment so I can star it again and again.

What's worse (and I detailed it elsewhere) is that minorities only get shit for their names if they're certain ethnicities.

That's a special kind of horrible. I am a young, white woman who works in an all-black elementary school in DC but I can't even imagine that anyone thinks this is okay. I really really hope that none of the people I work with would do this.
You know anyone who thinks that "urban names" are hilarious already looks at…

I had a coworker once with a beautiful African name. My first week I said it to her after sounding it out phonetically, but I got it wrong anyway. She gently but firmly corrected me, and I never got it wrong again! After that, it was no more difficult to remember or say than any other name. I feel bad for this young…

As a black female pagan/agnostic who's mostly into nerdy shit, can't stand R&B or rap or kids on her fucking lawn with the hippetyhop and minaj, who also doesn't give two shits about Real Housewives of HoneyBooBoo or serious movies That Have Meaning but no damned sharks or rendered aliens-I'm perfectly fine with just…

So I'm Asian-American woman who met my husband online several years ago, and my best friend is a Black woman.

Based on my own experiences growing up, there's such a huge difference between getting yelled at when you've done something wrong (usually something that you've been repeatedly told not to do), and experiencing your parent lose their shit on you (slinging insults, red-faced, slamming or throwing things). It always…

I'd love to see studies done on a few more sites... it would be fascinating to see how that holds up.

And black ladies feeling depressed about this? It doesn't help much, but I promise I would ask you out if I was more bi or lesbian. Couple of my girl crushes have been black.

I know. It's a wonder somebody even married my black ass. Apparently, time and space bent and the least desirable of women ended up marrying the most desirable of men.

fuck, if those are standards i'm never getting married.

what's your problem?you're not the queen of England
