“Alright people, we’re in space, so we’re doing black, lots of pockets, lots of belts and straps... if you got fingerless gloves, put ‘em on. Asian girls, help yourself to the blue hair dye, if you want to mark one side of your face with a barcode or something, that’s cool. Sleeveless guys, feel free to talk to our…

Just don’t see him again. It’s really that simple, we’ve all been there made a bad call and decided after we didn’t feel great about the interaction that doesn’t mean anything bad about you. It’s ok to feel uncomfortable if you feel you were coerced but you aren’t bad and it’s ok, you’ll be alright just don’t see him…

I remember being in 5th grade and it being a big discussion at lunch—how many holes girls have and how many holes boys have. This included face holes, not just the privates. haha. But we knew girls had three holes down there. What a perfect memory of being 11.

In high school, my older sister said something about sex and peeing and I was like “you know those are different holes, right?” She had no idea and didn’t believe Mel. I was 13, she was 17. I couldn’t believe she didn’t know her own body. I never realized how many people never take a minute to check out their own…

I’m just so mortified that I know I’m having nightmares tonight.

My brother told me this story years ago and I’ve always had a ‘what - how can that happen’ reaction. So, my brother worked in upscale hotel security in Chicago and one night he and another guy were called to the honeymoon suite because of a panicked phone call. They get there and there’s a hysterical young woman…

How they are not calling this a hate crime I have no idea... imagine the roles being reversed and it was a black man having this done to him by a bunch of white shit heads... it would immediately be called a hate crime. Replace “fuck trump” with “fuck obama” and “fuck white people” with “fuck black people”. This is…

You definitely need to say *something* to prepare a kid. My parents just disappeared one day when I was about four. Their door was locked, and when I knocked, they didn’t answer (that part was especially worrying, and not their smartest move.) I was deeply concerned and went and got the neighbour, as I had been told…

When I had my kids between 1996-2000, the co-sleeping idea was still a thing among the crunchier set. One kid would delightedly touch our faces until he fell asleep. The other whispered out a constant sequence of questions for about 20 minutes before he’d roll over and shut off. This was an occasional thing…

Not to mention that it affects women whether they choose to have children or not. The perception still exists that all women will want to have children, so they’re suspect when it comes time to pass out promotions or bonuses or raises. So even if you’ve never had any intention of ever having children, a woman will…

Must it be sexism by men in order to be considered? Society purports a vested interest in raising future generations; were maternity and paternity leaves equally allotted and paid; and were child care universal and affordable, it would not be one parent who might have to choose to leave his/her career stream in order…

Yes, but child rearing is part of the economic problem- this is a societally-necessary task that overwhelmingly affects women more than men, and women are not compensated for performing this work. This is why some countries have started to pay people to have children and stay home with them- women are reluctant to…

I don’t think the study really proves sexism has nothing to do with it.

Poor girl. Humans can be horribly crappy.

It’s not just the mothers.

I bet that stellar Mom is one of the family members suing too. She couldn’t be bothered taking care of her when she was alive but she sure as hell won’t pass up an opportunity to make some money off her death (that she indirectly caused).

Who is to say it would be civilized anyway? Have you ever had a “discussion” with an overtly religious person? All they do is quote scripture. Sorry, but people’s feelings matter before what Mark and Luke say and if all you can do is quote shit, bring it on. Exodus and Leviticus can fuck the religious right over too.

My advice: If your religion is causing you to spew out words of hate, judge, or look down on others because of who one loves then you need to change it. And fast.

Yay! Misogynistic, abusive escapism using source material that sounds like a fifth grader wrote it. Truly a film for our times.

You’re a brave one. Thank you for reminding people about the courage of gays and minorities in the south. ‘Bama is a red state but not all red, and thanks also for keeping hope alive down there.
