There was a pro-life group from LSU Planned Parenthood on my campus last spring. It was ridiculous because a) Louisiana PP doesn't perform abortions, so I'm unsure what exactly they hoped to accomplish with their demonstration and b) the materials they handed out were pink and meant to parody Planned Parenthood, but…

It amazes me when people attack clinics that don't even perform abortions. Our local clinic only does basic care, mammograms, Pap smears, etc. - no abortion services what so ever. Yet there's a group of elderly men (always men) outside every damned day. I have to remind myself over and over that I make things worse by…

Is this show sponsored by Claire's? Yikes at the jewelry.

Yes to the history, yes so much. Yes also to team free will, but also their faces and chests and arms and hnnnnngh.

I'm such a monarch history nerd, with extra emphasis on monarch of great britain, and as i completely 100% suspected from a CW show, this is one big pile of UGHHH.

I think the real problem with Chivalry is that it should go both ways! In which case I guess it would have to be called something else. Like Basic Human Decency.

Yes, its consequences are often damaging, but that in no way proves that it isn't the best way or that the alternative isn't more damaging.

It's very hard to explain to people that a position on a pedestal can be just as dehumanizing as a position on the floor.
Eye level people, eye level.

ugh. what can we do so people like you understand that RAPE VICTIMS CANNOT CONTROL RAPISTS! yeah, teach girls not to drink, fine. TEACH RAPISTS NOT TO RAPE.

This is a really brave and really sad account of her situation. I feel a bit close to tearing up and I'm like a dude and stuff. The level of publicity this case is getting is an excellent thing. Hopefully it will both deter some would be rapists as well as stir up a trend for seeking justice in cases that could…

My brother is five years older than I am, when he was a senior in high school the baseball coach was accused of raping a student. The baseball team was REALLY good, like state champs good. And there were actually parents who said, "well, it comes down to her word against his. Do we REALLY want to ruin his life?"

Daisy is my hero. I cannot imagine being in such a fragile state and going public with my story with all the trolls out there, both hiding behind computers and in front of a camera. Thank you, Daisy. You are amazing.

This is one of the most devastating things I've ever read. There really aren't words to express my admiration for someone who would willingly relive this kind of thing in print for the sake of keeping it from happening to somebody else.

Daisy, you may never read this but you are one heck of a brave young woman. Please know that there are millions of people supporting you and wishing you the very best in life.

Swiped the proof from the guy who is supposed to take down a terrorist if something happens on the plane? Yeah, that's pretty damn badass. Or this guy isn't terribly good at his job and now I'm even more scared to fly.

I'm assuming it's the titillation factor of getting to sneak a peek without the women in question being aware. The act of getting away with it, basically.

Well, this is certainly reassuring. You can trust the TSA with those full-body scans - there are absolutely no privacy issues because THESE ARE TRAINED PROFESSIONALS.

You can trust the TSA with complete access to the contents of your suitcase, including valuables and personal items - THESE ARE TRAINED PROFESSIONALS.

You…

The problem with a society that wants to have so many people armed and in positions of authority is that you start running out of decent people to so empower.

My fiancee and I have had this argument. Once I explained why it was a big deal to me to not change my name, because I would feel like I was giving up part of MY identity to morph into his, he went very quiet. The conversation got dropped and I thought little else of it, until a couple of weeks ago, when he told me we…
