"The dreadlocked Kory then made an obscene gesture with it before attacking the victim with an aluminium tennis racket, police said."

I hope you're kidding - sarcasm can be difficult to detect in writing, so I want to give you the benefit of the doubt, but did you just say that the patriarchy gets a pass on the Salem witch trials? Because little girls / women were accusing women? As in, these girls and women weren't using the tools of the patriarchy…

Do not get.

Funnily enough, that's the nickname my father used to call me! I ended an otherwise great relationship for the same reason not long ago: the forest for the trees of it all was that he was making me feel like shit, so I had to end it.
In any case, I'm sorry for your experience and hope you've moved onto another awesome…

That sucks - but aren't you glad you didn't marry her? I don't know that my friend is trying to control his emotions per se, but she has stopped at nothing to get where she wants to be.

I have just watched my best friend go through this fanaticism of "MUSTGETMARRIEDNOWNOWNOW" and she's only 26... I really don't understand, and I was grossed out to the point where I'm not really sure I want to be her friend anymore.
She pulled off contortionist-style moves in her life to impress him (newly minted…

I love dogs - really. But I am disgusted that the potential pain-free death of one dog, even if it turns out to be unnecessary, is receiving as much attention if not more than the ~3500 people who have already died. PEOPLE.

This is a horrible event and my thoughts are with the victims and their families. I'm hoping for swift justice and wide-reaching dialogue.

Is it - what is it - that I feel safer in a body I dislike for being overweight than I would if I were at my ideal weight - like if I looked the way I wanted to, I'd be in more…

Did your soul break a little when it realized you were typing "Not to take away from Chief Queef's point" in a professional context?

I agree; I thought that was one legit difference they didn't actually address: love stories beat around the bush; romance novels, well, they really get in there.

Just so I'm clear on this (I lived abroad for a bit and may have missed something vital), Kim K is famous strictly for fucking some guy on tape right? Then that snowballed (heh heh) into her making lots of money and then becoming famous also for being rich and famous? Oh, and butt. Did I miss anything?

Does anybody have anything positive to say about Florida? It really does seem like hell.

You might be clenching your jaw. Try sleeping with cotton rolls between your top and bottom molars, or get a night guard.

"Somewhere, an executive at TLC has surgically replaced his or her eyeballs with cartoon dollar signs."

lmao - my thoughts exactly.

Yes, he's a dumb lying liar, but can we talk about how weird it is that he has a curfew? Issued by his girlfriend, we're led to presume?

Obviously this is no excuse for her behavior, but she really seems to be drunk, doesn't she? She's searching for words, she starts shouting once she realizes she isn't making any sense, the repetition of "goddamn" - doesn't she seem like an angry drunk who almost got caught in (perhaps causing?) an accident? Could an…

It is completely within my rights to not like children. I don't think their annoying traits are their own fault or their choice, and I know that I once exhibited them as well. I know that kids are necessary and I'll even admit that they can be heartbreakingly wonderful - but overall, I don't like them. I don't want to…

I feel a little murky on this. Technically isn't she just saying that hitting is wrong, period? And that anybody who strikes first can not be surprised if their victim strikes back? Regardless of size / sex?

Again with the original point! "Child of privilege" and "Kenyan Muslim" have nothing to do with appearance but beliefs and backgrounds. The original point was that women, not men, are judged based on their appearances. Did you hit your head or something?
