The way I read it (and why it also upset me): she used a woman's victimization to get up on a personal soapbox and espouse a lot of ideas that this particular victim may or may not agree with. The article quickly became less about this woman and what she endured and far more about Lindy, and what Lindy wanted to say.

FWIW, the term is intersex, and there are more people who are intersex than you think, and they'd likely enjoy seeing more representation too. If you're actually interested, here's a recent story about the difficulties intersex individuals face specifically with dating, though it has a lot of information in general.

Wait, why the heck would you not take them to see Frozen? Lots of little boys enjoyed Frozen.

It's weird to say that prom doesn't matter when it very obviously matters a lot to young people. I mean, duh, it matters a lot less when you're older, but it's a significant social event to lots and lots of teens. (I say this as someone who attended prom with a friend and played the Street Fighter arcade box they had…

People say the same thing about video games, you know.

This is the appropriate reaction to Squirrel Girl.

Oh! Ok, yeah. I get you. Gawker makes articles to get people to click/read them, so the titles will occasionally be sorta click-bait.

Honestly a lot of people like John Stewart way more than Hal Jordan; personally I think Stewart's character would have been more suited as an intro to the Green Lantern character than what they did with Jordan. (I am assuming you actually knew there is indeed a "black Green Lantern" and you're just unaware of his…

Honestly, these things just reinforce to me how important it is that we bring everyone home so they can all be reunited with the people and animals that miss them.

Tifa is one of my personal favorites for this very reason. She knows Cloud is delusional from the get-go and spends a lot of her time trying to subtly clue him in without being an asshole about it. She really cares about the dude. Also, total badass who can mix drinks and cave faces in with her fists. Man Tifa is…

Ha ha, I totally hate this story. This woman is a jerk - not for donating the chickens, I mean, that's nice! But the jerk part (and she doesn't realize she's being a jerk, to be fair) comes from exploiting a policy in excess. Publix wasn't intentionally undercutting customers, they just took what they were given and…

THE BABY

The anti-death penalty people who go around wagging their finger at OTHER anti-death penalty people, for not being anti-death penalty in precisely the right way, are truly treasures, aren't they?

"I'm against the death penalty, but" - it's the new "I'm not racist, but"! Well, no. You linked to some statistics about false convictions, and I reassured you that the evidence was pretty strong here so chances are good that we don't have to worry, at least, about innocent men being condemned to die.

Oh... jeez. Ouch. I think I would just make a very sad face at that. A long, silent, sad face. And a slow shake of my head. Then I'd walk away.

I'm also against the death penalty, but fortunately I don't think we have to worry much about false conviction with Lockett. There was a surviving witness who saw him and described what he did, and Lockett even told police why he decided to kill her.

Yes, alas. But still. I think it should happen, and not just to try to cut back on trolls, but to help more people.

Er, yes. I meant for there to be a "TOO" in there but apparently didn't actually add it. Sorry!

Oh yeah, I understand. I kind of segued into a vaguely related subject. However, there are female-bodied people who do not identify as women, but are still subjected to sexual harassment as if they were women, so neutral language would benefit them.

I'm 30 and pretty active in the queer comm... I've definitely run into MRAs, haha.
