I was never spanked and I agree it does more harm than good. However, I'm not sure the solution is to make spanking illegal because it would be impossible to enforce and what would you do with all the kids removed from their homes because their parents spanked them? I think it's one of those things where you just have…

this. it's the cycle of life and it's happened everywhere, not just new york. neighbourhoods are built, thrive, then decline, until people with more money move in and they thrive again, and all these changes carry with them displacement, transitions, challenges and also possibilities. parts of it suck (mom and pop…

Also, despite your assumptions, I'm not American and I grew up in Europe so there goes your culture clash argument.

agree! I've thought the same since she signed the deal and started wearing Dior on all the red carpets and it's never right. I think she's gorgeous but I wish she'd cancel the Dior deal and hire a better stylist and make up artist.

there are never any guarantees. but your chances of getting mugged/attacked while on your own (especially if you're a woman) are greater than if you're walking in a large group.

this. no, it's not your fault if you get raped on your way home at 3am on a dark street. but is it common sense to avoid putting yourself in that situation in the first place, and at least mitigating the risk that it will happen to you? of course. again, the fault is with the rapist, it's never the victim's fault. but…

it's not just the school that has to do something since none of these attacks happened on campus and there's only so much campus security can do. they need to get local law enforcement involved and make sure they take these cases seriously and do something to prevent more rapes.

what else can they say? unless they have the money to put a cop on every corner and light up the streets like a football field, all you can do is tell people to stay as safe as possible and avoid walking alone in the street or other isolated spots where it would be easy for someone to attack you. it's not victim…

it's a cute song but let's NOT embrace muffin top. and no, i'm not body shaming anyone. muffin top isn't about weight or body type, it's about wearing pants/skirts that are too tight and too low. everyone, at every size, can avoid muffin top by simply buying clothes that aren't two sizes too small and that are a cut…

so sick of jezebel's obsession with this overrated attention whore. next!

yeah i don't really see anything wrong with what he said. and i have nothing against trans models but i think it's kind of ironic that everyone is flocking to defend andrej pejic when, if she weren't trans, people here would be bitching about how she's exactly the kind of tall, skinny white blonde chick that is…

this. he's expressing his doubts, nothing else. but of course knee-jerk reactions prevail and people are getting pissy over nothing.

i understand what you're saying. but i think she was also making a point about how you have to move on from being a victim. it's normal after a traumatic event to want to be a victim, to have others comfort you and to know that what happened wasn't your fault, to be able to vent your anger and frustration, etc. but…

what the fuck are you on about?

And just a bit tangentially, it actually bugs me when people say that just because my own perspective of being a sexual assault survivor doesn't comport with what is considered the "common experience" it is not something that should be valued.

it's her experience. funny how so many people here constantly bitch about how quick people are to blame victims for not acting how they're supposed to act after a rape, and then those same people turn around and start blaming victims for not having the 'right' kind of narrative when recounting their experiences...…

so? since when do people need to ask permission or gather opinions regarding how best to defend themselves?

then we can't bitch about the low percentage of rapes that go to trial. it's not easy, you have to put yourself in a very vulnerable position, testify, relive the trauma, and answer questions from the defence. no one's saying it's not tough. but it's the only way to convict criminals. we're not going to create special…

this was 10 years ago, she's no longer a kid, she's 26 or 27.
