I don’t know if I would say that Angel was a better show, but that it was much more consistent. Excluding the somewhat dull first season where the show seemed to want to be some type of procedural, by the time they got to the second season they found their footing and settled in for an extremely satisfying series that…

Kendra was only in THREE episodes? She looms much larger in my mind.

I once spoke to someone who interned on the Buffy set and they said that at the time they found SMG demanding but when they look back on it they realized that SMG was just advocating for a better work schedule and better safety measures and in that time in Hollywood that sort of thing was looked at as being…

But again, men ALWAYS had the ability to dress up as women and sneak into the women’s bathroom. Nothing has changed. I’m guessing sexual predators probably weren’t bothering with camouflage anyway; they’d just sneak in when no one was looking. Common sense says misogynists would be pretty averse to dressing up as a…

She once said something along the lines of, “Well, if changing my gender had been an option when I was young, I might have done it and that’s why it’s bad.” And I thought, That seems like a more revealing statement than I think you mean it to be. 

Well said. Also, if what you wrote really is her issue, that’s simply the saddest thing I’ve ever heard. It’s like the guys whose masculinity is so tenuous that it can be entirely ruined by a woman beating them at air hockey. If your identity is THAT fragile, the problem is you.

From what I could gather from reading her other screeds she feels her experiences as a woman are so insecure and tenuous that even if she considers for a drunken hot second that a trans woman is a woman and not some third made up “something” her experiences of childbirth and puberty will be worthless. Every emotion…

With very few exceptions that barely even apply anyway, I don’t have any reason to care about the genitalia/chromosomes/hormones someone was born with, nor do I care about the genitalia/chromosomes/hormones anyone has today. Nor am I about to start arguing with people about how to refer to them! If someone tells me…

“The contraceptive mentality is what fuels the bloodthirsty abortion industry in our country.”

any slight that person does towards you means everything, and so you should cut that person out of your life for it

I don’t know these people beyond what I read in the press, but I will say that the “but we’re a family” line is entirely meaningless and generally does nothing other than sweep a whole bunch of toxic behavior under the rug.

I don’t have any experience as a domestic violence victim, but I just recently spent time with my psychopath/sociopath grandmother. I usually just bite my tongue, but she went way too far this time and I was stuck in the car with her for an hour. I really thought about making her exit my car and calling the cops on…

Several studies have found at least 40% of police officers are domestic abusers, themselves.

Cops being predominately men almost always means that a domestic incident between a heterosexual couple is always going to be treated as “Women, amirite?” when they roll up on the scene. Because of how men and women are socialized, just like in this case, women might be crying and emotional (regardless if they’re the…

Don’t forget that the original title of her book was “I Must Confess,” IE: using one of her sister’s song lyrics to gain notoriety for herself again. She only changed it after quite a bit of backlash.

And I think that’s the greater point: it’s clear that she has spent her life, whether intentionally or not*, riding on…

Same. As a child free person, I find the switch fascinating. Granted, I’m in my 40s and I think a lot of the switch can be attributed to getting older and having different perspectives on life. When I was in my 20s I wasn’t ready yet, but over time, “not yet” became “not ever.” 

Honestly, most of them convince themselves they did nothing wrong and probably don’t even think about it.

I get what you’re saying but he was still sexy as hell in that movie, perhaps because he was evil and loved to dance.

I’m sorry, but does anyone remember the year Adam Levine won? Nick Nolte? This award is often so disastrous I’m amazed they finally gave it to someone who was actually sexy. Paul Rudd is hot AF.
