Hmm. This is really, really interesting reading, but I think we all see the books through the lens of our own perceptions, as another commenter said. I first read the books during sixth grade - during a period where I desperately wanted close female friendships but had very few friends. I loved Anne and Diana's close…

I really like the clothes from the Row. They are mostly classic and look to be well-made with expensive fabrics. Of course, I can't afford them but they are nice to look at.

Meh, I mean, why does Los Angeles need another clothing store? Why do any of us wear clothes at all instead of identical Star Trek uniforms? They decided to put their clothing in the context they want shoppers to see their brand; in this case, it's built out to resemble a beautiful mid-century modern home to evoke…

Rebecca, I'm curious — is there ANY point at which you feel that a blogger can be too sensationalistic or exploitive? Or is really any topic that a Jez writer wants to talk about in any manner acceptable? The issue I have with this article is simple, it's another OMG THIS WOMAN KILLED HER CHILDREN feeding frenzy,…

Well, it's news. So in that respect it's totally reasonable to report on it.

At first, this didn't sound too awful. It sounded obnoxious, but not TOO HORRIBLE. And then I read this guy's nasty ass comment—and then looked at the Tumblr page—and fuck if it's not just its own version of Creepshots. It's just another way to remind women that their bodies are for display and they have no right to…

Your parents taught you incorrectly. Tip for standard service is 15%-20%. Servers make a fraction of minimum wage and rely on tips. If you don't want to support that system (and some people choose not to), don't go to a restaurant where you're expected to tip.

YEAH THEY FUCKING ARE.

You're right, Wil. I'm sure it takes lots of skill to write jokes about how pretty women are stupid and smart women are plain, Asians talk funny, and Jews are neurotic. Lots of skill indeed. Please accept my sincere apologies.

Beardy beard beard beardness. This is fucking terrible. What douches.

Obsessed from head to toe. SWOONING over that dress. Killer shoes. Her makeup looks so fresh and flattering. Even her dark roots are working. Lurve.

Actually it's kind of relevant in that it makes for a tangible example of how conservatives prefer individual causes over structural ones. Indoor plumbing means infrastructure not wealth. A rich person can spend a lot of money building the necessary infrastructure to bring clean water to the taps in their house alone,…

Is that the Southern Girl song or another song? I have to listen to a lot of country since I work at a group home and they get to choose what's on the radio, and they have awful taste, so I find myself hoping that the next song is Carrie Underwood or Taylor Swift, because at least they don't do that, "Yee-haw! Long…

So, by hidden hard partying what do we mean? Like, secretly doing lines in the bathroom while they're at dinner? Or sneaking out after she falls asleep to go to bars with hotter, younger chicks? Or, like, touching butts with everyone else in town? Is it about scientology or something?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

Ugh, the manic Goldiebox love/hate affair is killing me. I can't keep up. Marketing is lame and toys suck.

I have no problem criticizing feminism. It has a lot of issues when it comes to intersectionality, for instance. With that said, I don't agree with any of the criticisms that conservative women have against feminists. Conservative women are internalized misogynists. They accept the notions that they're inferior to…

I thought I was prepared for those lyrics. I was not.

Peeps S'mores!

Yup. "Sweet as can be and very good for me" is something you should say about agave nectar, not your betrothed.

Considering the systemic imaging problems since the dawn of photography is key. As McFadden writes:
