Free speech isn’t misunderstood in America. It’s legally defined differently than in other countries. Hate speech is protected speech here.

Wait until Hobby Lobby hears about this!

Tuca & Bertie made me absolutely shriek with delight, it was so inventive, especially towards the end of the season, but I think my absolute best laugh was at PEN15, specifically, the episode where Maya and Anna (and their classmates) discover online chat rooms. The episode starts with Maya trying to choose a badass…

Totally agree. I think rewatch will be VERY kind to Trish’s arc throughout the series, as well as all the storytelling about abuse and trauma, and the irrepressible goodness of true heroes.

I think Trish has ALWAYS been messed-up and had very turbulent notions of right and wrong. Last season, she was so hungry for power she risked her own life for superpowers because she believed she needed them to be a hero (or have any kind of power at all). She killed Jessica’s mother... committing murder that she…

I don’t think they’re upset because they believe that God is a man, but because they believe that men are God. Women are more like the rest of the animal kingdom - only put on the earth to provide for Man’s needs. So, of course, it’s blasphemous to suggest that women could be equal to men (i.e., God).

I went on a real emotional rollercoaster from delighting at the cleverness of Jessica using another phone to record her final viewing of an InstaYap video to screaming at my TV as she and Trish proceeded to TALK THROUGH SAID RECORDING. By the time we got to the scene where Jessica rewatched the video and it didn’t…

I disagree with this boycott as a boycott. That is, the lawmakers who passed these bills are not the ones who will be hit in the pocketbook, so taking an ideological stand on where to spend your money is, unfortunately, a bit pointless, and is only going to hurt the people who are already suffering most.

AMAZING!

If you’d asked Fairstein to write it she’d have an entirely different—but also false—account that puts her in the best light possible.

What strikes me the most about the story of the Central Park Five is its aftermath: More than one of the 5 used the money they were awarded to engage in advocacy and start foundations to help those who are in the same position they were. Meanwhile, the cops who were actually in the wrong have learned nothing, and…

If I should be jailed for denying a “distinct human life” the access to my uterus it needs to survive, I assume men should also be jailed for refusing to donate the blood, kidneys, etc, that other “distinct human lives” need in order to survive. If my body is up for grabs by anyone whose survival depends on it, that…

100% of unwanted pregnancies are caused by men. If these crusty old geezers want to eliminate most abortions, there is only one solution: Mandatory vasectomies for ALL men. If you want to have children, you can apply to have it reversed, provided you can get an appropriate number of female guarantors (including the…

You know, the Catholic church used to adhere St. Thomas Aquinas’ belief that a baby was not imbued with a “developed soul” until the END of gestation, just before birth. It’s only the modern Catholic church that has decided “life begins at conception,” which as has already been brilliantly pointed out in this comment…

Thanks for the tip! I don't know why we're being punished with this godawful system, but it's good to know there's hope!

It’s actually an iPad app called Green Screen by Do Ink. Super easy to use! The 7-year-olds I work with got the hang of it pretty quick.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why the Giz sites would set up a comment system that DISCOURAGES participation. It seems the natural progression for people to migrate to a system that actually works.

Thanks! I’ll check it out!

I love that this is a thing! I mean, yes, of course I wish that there were more research being done into how to help women who DON’T want to reproduce (like birth control for men, which totally exists but can’t get any traction because “it won’t sell”), or curing conditions that cause sex to be painful for women, or…

Sorry, Jezzies, I know this sucks, but I just want to unload a bit about how much it stinks to be stuck in the grays.
