This reminds me of the time I made a placard that said, "How many children have YOU adopted?" and stood next to the PP protestors here. They don't like it when you ask them that question.


Can we get a bill that requires men seeking viagra prescriptions to watch a 3 hour video about abstinence?

Maybe they should be more concerned with their after meal ritual like doing some situps.

"If you're not happy, you can become happy. Happiness is a choice. That's the thing I really feel."

I hope they fucking burn.

Quick correction.

Fucking FINALLY.

Optimistically and pessimistically, I would argue that what separates Steubenville from any number of towns like it was not that a horrifying rape took place there, but that in Steubenville a young woman refused to sit down and shut up about it.

Will someone please, PLEASE tell Robin Thicke that being with your girlfriend/wife from a young age is NOT A DEFENSE AGAINST MISOGYNY. He brings that up every single time he's asked about this video, and I don't understand at all what point he thinks that makes. Misogyny is not sleeping with a bunch of women. …

I know you guys keep trying to push this "fuck anything that moves" agenda for whatever reason. And if that's what you want, then by all means, keep doing what you do. But for some of us, monogamy is not some sort of restraining idea. I'm monogamous because I love the person I'm with and I honestly don't want to be…

Romantic or not, I'll take any argument for monogamy. Being called boring or frigid because you want one person is really insulting. I hate when evo-psych people cram the "we all can't help but want to do anything that moves/has variety" down people's throats as well. Some people are monogamous, some aren't, and I…

I have things in common with these two. I am a Muslim and my husband is not. Just like Huma and Anthony. We have other things that are not in common such as

So have we stopped officially making fun of Amanda Bynes and now we're on to faux-concern? Because you guys were pretty brutal for months.

Me too. Her mom certainly isn't any help, and obviously her husband married her when she was a child so he can't be depended on. It's sad that the people who are supposed to have her back are perfectly happy to push/let her in the spotlight if it benefits them.

She's so young. I bet she's pretty confused. I wish there were sane people around her to help.

Good for you, and if you get a chance to do that at a trial, be sure to reserve a few words for his defense attorney about the slut shaming.

That's a better explanation of what you intended. The use of the word weak is problematic, especially in these contexts—predators look for women who they perceive to be weak. Some of us, as women, are taught to be weaker willed. I feel strongly that we shouldn't buy into that ourselves. Some people just have different…

For the record I recommended your post because I thought it was a good point, though ultimately in this case they did want an expedited process.

That's YOUR story. That may not be the case for ALL victims, especially ones in high-profile cases such as this.

I'm also annoyed when people claim to speak for victims, but the victims' lawyers have said that this is what they wanted, and they just wanted to put this part of their lives behind them.

You make an excellent point, but in this case, it felt like he was just going to trial because he was a sick bastard who saw the trial as an opportunity to continue to torture his victims. I mean, there was no way a jury was going to acquit him, and if he went to trial, he risked a harsher punishment than if he made a…
