In theory. Then there's also the fact that a lot of these women are die hard natural birth fanatics who do everything they can to make the pregnant woman wary and skeptical of doctors. Take my best friend's sister, she ended up with a long, messy, fucking horrible "natural" birth because her doula basically…

If they want insurance coverage then they should get certified but honestly, I'm not sure they're exactly what you would call medically necessary, and I think that if they want to be taken seriously and receive recognition, maybe they should just train as midwives instead, and get certified as that. And use the fact…

And yet you keep replying ;)

Honestly I find it hard to believe it would influence anyone's decision, definitely wouldn't influence mine. Especially when a little research would show that Columbia isn't any worse than other schools in terms of tape, it's just gotten a lot of attention. This is a systemic problem, it's not just Columbia. Plus, a…

No, it won't. And you're incredibly naive of you think it would.

2 years is not enough

Of course, if you're choosing between Ivys, it might make you think about it but then who wouldn't rather live in NYC than fucking New Haven??

Do you really think someone's going to not go to Columbia because of a few protesters? Seriously?

I know. I grew up in the 90s ;)

If they did enforce the rule and the show became a bunch of people being civil to each other and resolving their disputes like adults, even the people who still watch this (and I can't believe anyone still watches this) would tune out. I mean, isn't the whole point of the Real World (and "reality" tv in general) to…

I love it. It's funny, as I was reading your piece I kept saying to myself, "she's overthinking it" and literally laughed out loud when the other female artist basically told you the same thing and it clicked in your head. Worrying too much about whether or not she was drawing herself in a "feminist enough" way, to…

It's gonna take a lot more than an asshole-ish anonymous internet comment to fire a federal government employee.

you seem to be the type of person that doesn't think things are bad unless it's unfairly happen to white people.

They won't even let her have her own death. They have to make it about Whitney Houston (and media attention).

I doubt this is about grief given the shady money-grabbing antics of the Houston family. Poor girl can't even get out of her parents' shadow and have her own death.

No, not defending. But notice how the criticism of Banks is much more, ahem, muted, than what they reserve for Azalea?

Agree they're both assholes but at least Iggy knows how to spell azalea.

No, they can't. Because as long as jezzies are blinded by their hatred of Iggy Azalea, they'll keep defending anyone who hates her too, no matter how douchy or stupid. Or they'll come up with some nonsense excuse about how anything Azalea does is awful because she's white but Banks can do it because she's a WOC and…

They get criticism because they're horribly written crap. There are great love stories out there that manage to be romantic without insulting your intelligence. Well written enough that movie snobs and critics won't ridicule them. But popular/mainstream romance fiction is ridiculed because it's awful and poorly…

I was joking ;)
