"But it's not only men who are focusing on women from the neck down; women do it to each other, too,"
Why call out men in the title if both the article and the study each go on to say it an issue that both sexes are guilty of?
Thank you!
Not to mention, the bully factor. A naked picture of a pre-teen/teen will likely get leaked out amongst social circles in an attempt of catty revenge. Adults? Unless famous, likely sticking with the recipient of said picture.
People have been writing each other sex letters for hundreds of years. History is full of erotic letters and stories of family members burning piles of letters because someone was mistress to someone famous and quel scandale if anyone ever read the smutty things. Every method of communication people invent will…
Yeah, but if an adult makes the idiotic decision to take a compromising photo and provide a digital copy to someone else, then ends up with an ED page (or a ruined political career) a few years later, we can generally wash our hands of any concern and say, eh, you knew the risks and you deserved what you got. Murkier…
After someone posted a picture of the child's room on the last article, commenters here went crazy speculating that she had been kidnapped from a white family and was being trafficked for prostitution because "white babies are worth more in the sex trade." Disgusting.
No kidding! Jez wants to focus on the racism. How about we talk MORE about the innocent children that were actually trafficked here? I mean, has Jez actually looked for info on the other children and what's being done to protect them? If they have, they sure as hell aren't reporting on it.
Jezebel is selectively leaving out information about her maybe-adoptive parents. From Gawker's article:
Feel the exact same way. I don't mind paying for schools, WIC, other social programs that directly benefit children in need, etc.
But I am kind of bothered by all of the child tax credits. Children are a large expense to society. While obviously children are necessary to propagate the species, it seems unfair that…
That's what I thought, too! Some kind of burner account for sending sexts.
Ahh, that explains why it's moving to Lifetime!
This is one of the FUNNIEST things I've ever heard. I've been obsessed with SVU for a long time now and this guy just nails it.
Don't forget they got NYPD's stop-and-frisk program in there, too!
Without clicking through, I bet the woman who came up with this idea is pretty well-to-do. Nobody manifests entitlement like rich people.
*Biologically* speaking we ARE baby-making machines with an expiration date. Duh. Of course, personally, culturally, spiritually, politically, artistically, what have you we are so much more. But, biologically, we're not. We have a certain window of fertility, which will vary from woman to woman but most likely it'll…
In the United States, there are more than a half million children languishing in foster care, in desperate need of a mom or a dad. If your eggs aren't poppin' fresh when you're ready to be a parent, there are PLENTY of kids who need a home and love. Bonus: No stretch marks, and the option to REALLY screw with racist…
The suggestion that the government should somehow subsidize egg freezing is patently absurd.
Egg-freezing is great and all, but you should have to pay for that ish yourself. Subsidized birth control? Sure, because there are so many economic benefits to the American public that make the subsidy worth it! Subsidized child care? Ditto! But I fail to see what public policy benefits could possibly stem from women…
Turning 30 in a few months. Screw this, if I get to 40, don't have kids and decide I want one then it's time for fostering or adoption. My genes are not that important.
