A former friend lived with a woman that was a major stoner. Wake up, smoke. Go to bed, smoke. All the time, smoke. Therefore, her tolerance was very high. (haha...high.) One time we were hanging out and she had made pot brownies, a whole pan of them cut into little squares. She offered them to us and we ate a few,…

The one thing that pisses me off about modesty culture is that no one ever demands men to be role models for young boys. Charlie Sheen has done much worse things than Rihanna, and there are plenty of young boys who think he's cool, and yet there isn't one article about how he's a bad role model. If you're going to be…

But Mike Peters, a Brooklyn father of a young daughter, spoke for dads and moms everywhere when he told me, "I think she looked slutty.''

Nobody better ever charge me for tearing the purse hooks off their stall doors now, because I will be doing that EVERYWHERE.

The fact that I can be reading this while Laverne Cox's TIME cover sits an inch to the left is so, so mind-boggling and depressing. I hope the assailants and the complacent authorities get what's coming to them.

I used to agree with you, but then I thought about it. The n-word, for example, has long undergone a similar sense of reclamation. While I don't employ the word or its lighter, more affectionate variation (drop the -er, add an -a), I don't impugn the right of other blacks to do so. But when I on occasion overhear…

I'm sorry that happened to you, and also that something similar has probably happened to most women. The irony, that when you turn down sex with a total stranger, men call you a whore. :/

So Toni Braxton believes that God punished her son because she got an abortion. That's some next level shit there.

Poor Toni Braxton. That is internalized Tea Party/Christian Right misogynist self-hatred right there. I hope she finds some peace and forgives herself.

Ugh... Toni Braxton may have said the dumbest and most horrible thing I've heard all day, but it's early. I have a kid in my family with autism too, and yes, his mom believes that vaccines probably caused it and it's hard to argue with someone who really wants there to be something to blame.

My guess is that he's gotten infinity times the number of credible threats that Clinton did and they take that into consideration.

*nods* It won't be pretty. I mean, Chelsea got it horribly ... and she isn't black.
