As that's half an hour of my life I won't get back I might as well give a synopsis for the common good:

"We cannot eliminate all poverty, so why bother trying to reduce it? It is a much more reasonable idea to try to get rid of this/that/all religion. Never mind the fact that secularism rarely thrives in poverty and inequality, militant atheism/islamophobia is how I make myself look a brave and original thinker."

There's at least some double standards at play here; I doubt people would have made as big of a deal about failing to bring up Christianity explicitly enough in a similar piece on an act perpetrated Joseph Kony and the Lord's Resistance Army. I think "What the FUCK!" is a better response in both cases than "I told you

If not rocks exactly, then feces and stones have been thrown at least. But "In the name of" is not the same as "because of".

There will be no peace in this world until extreme poverty and inequality are wiped from it.

Eliminate Islam would not bring an end to these atrocities, neither would eliminating Christianity - the religion of the other half of Nigeria.

Can't argue with cognitive biases.

I knew this was a concept I wasn't going to get a lot of love for finding fault with a system related to such an emotional issue, and I doubt those people will go through the trouble of reading or looking at the graphs.

Please show me your data that backs up your view of it being more dangerous for women to walk home at night. There is nothing wrong with "text me when you get home". I've done it, as does my father when he travels for work in less-stable parts of the Middle-East.

But it doesn't seem to allow specifications of your location (and it's an SMS service, so no GPS tracking), so you would have to let your contacts know where you are anyway through other means, and if you are in another country for example, a bunch of other information if there was an emergency. I'd figure out

Any cosmetic procedure that is common among the Jezebel readership was done as a choice to please their innate aesthetic sense (my Italian nose just wasn't proportional to my face!), unrelated to the pressures of society, while things common with older people or procedures like bletharoplasty are depressing examples

Why does the kite have to be pink? Is it really more dangerous for women to walk home where you live? For me the service sounds like the patronizing dude that insists on walking you home although you know the chances of anything happening are lower than winning the lottery in your area, and the girls that is shocked

Even masturbation involves some exertion on the body and there was an article saying sexual activity can even trigger migraines with aura, but even the abstract of that study was behind a paywall, but this suggests the opposite could be quite common.

That's strange, personally I find masturbation to be helpful for migraines and I remember hearing of a study supporting this to some extent.

Her speech to college students proves she was certainly a character.

This is the first part of a speech she gave to college students, which can be found on YouTube. She was character, to say the least.

What I don't get is why nobody heard about this when France legalized marriage while still having the same kind of law on the books, or some other similar instance. If you follow global human rights organizations, this shouldn't be news, - I even brought this up to a Jezebel writer over a year ago.. Although Finland

Barring a military coup, gay marriage cannot be legalized any faster than it is coming along at the moment.

This is probably the best info on the current situation.
