“funny how you don’t criticize women of color for straightening their hair.”

So one candidate is a known racist with a history of discriminating against minorities and is supported by the KKK, but another candidate got pneumonia so you’re going to call it a draw?

Why is it always dudes who come into threads and say “blah blah blah genders reversed blah blah blah everyone would have a fit.” Why don’t you ever ever ever just talk about what actually happened, instead of positing a situation that did not happen? WHY. Oh right, I know why.

In your gender-swapped scenario is it still in response to the woman telling the man she heard he likes to fucked in the ass a lot?

I think she occupies the position directly between a rock and a hard place. She may be contractually obligated to do promotion for this film and she’s chosen to do so in a way that doesn’t dismiss or ignore Parker’s actions. Perhaps she’s implying that both the film and the controversy it generated because of Parker’s…

Not even getting a girl to say yes! He’s basically saying as long as she wasn’t actively resisting he’d go for it. Which, it turns out, IS STILL RAPE.

Yes, like encouraging people not to hang out around ledges at 3:15 am while likely drinking.

What about the intense war between washcloth users and non-washcloth users?

I have skin cancer and have to wear a UV-blocking suit, which basically looks like a regular wetsuit but also has a hoodie-like head-cover attached, plus gloves and socks I can slip on and then a scarf-like thing I can wrap around the front of my neck. Basically, just my face shows if I put the whole deal on. It’s a…

Allahu Aloha Akbar

NPR had a story about that this morning. One of the poeple they interviewed on a beach in Normandy said he had seen nuns in habits at the beach the day before. No one bothered them. Here’s my shocked face.
