Will always fault Clinton for Rwanda and Bosnia because he wanted reelection. It was only after he got his second term that he finally came out and admitted that the Bosnian genocide didn't get enough aid because the UK and (mostly) France wouldn't tolerate a Muslim state in the EU.

I know Obama needs to show respect to the SS, but at the same time, he could have used this opportunity to you know, say something along the lines like, "I can't believe there were men protecting my wife and daughters that would buy women," or something like that. Nyyehhh that's the response I would love, anyway.

Under our breath? No dude, she's been tarred and feathered in the court of public opinion.

I really wish LILO would be given a decent shot at recovery before falling under scrutiny. It sucks to have your old drug and eating disorder records dragged up to tell you that youre being put under house arrest for talking in your sleep. Personal story, I know, but if I hate having drunk people wake me up in my…

Well, I'm with him on restricting internet porn for children. That is the only thing I will agree with him on, ever. His wording, that it's a "moral" war just rubs me the wrong way. Children don't need to be bombarded with pornography, though it's incredibly healthy for them to go seeking it as they mature.

I wish I had a picture from prom. I remember saving up 500 dollars for an MJ dress one year, and 400 for a BCBG dress another. I worked more than a high school student ought to pay to get my hair done like a more subtle Marie Antoinette. Both times, I ended up breaking up with my date days before prom and doing a…

Interesting. France has a dirty place in the Holocaust that it doesn't like to acknowledge. I feel bad for their position as continental Europeans, but it's not their place to turn the Holocaust into winning a gold medal.

Hahahaha, this was the perfect comment and sums up exactly how I feel so succinctly.

Honey boo boo child, I bow to your accomplishments. Amazing.

Oh, I have so many more questions I could ask, but I don't know how to put them into words for now. Everyone who has responded in this thread has been such a tremendous help, and out of sheer kindness, too.

I relate to her. When you've already come to where she is on a scholarly level, it seems so trivial when you've already written a book about it. She's not as humble in sociology as Rawls was in philosophy, and nor should she be. Her view of feminism is something that can easily be torn down. It would really be a waste…

"Believing is Seeing: Biology as Ideology," and "Imitation and Gender Insubordination" have the most striking titles to me. They also seem a bit more journalistic/narrative. Once I pay off my fines for the books I have checked out now, I'll see if my library has them. If not, I'll look up the rest of your capstone…

Wow! That's so fascinating. Oh, I don't mean to belittle it by calling it "fascinating" ahhh. I'm very happy to hear that it has nothing to do with repression. Thank you for helping me understand more. Excuse my ignorance, but I'll keep your words with me in the future. I don't get an opportunity to talk to anyone…

Oh, by saying that people "should be able to live as the sex they are," I didn't mean at all that they were born as one sex, so they will always be that one sex or anything like that. I'm aware that my statement wasn't at all clear, and I'm sorry! I'm familiar, though very vaguely, with what you're telling me.

Speaking of CLOSER by NIN, some crazy fan of my boyfriends friends' band made this BATSHIT tribute video to them!!!

I half love Trenita!!!

Not worth paying for, but it was gifted to me. Her writing IS funny, but ignorant. Let's team up and write a teleplay with minority awareness. (No joke, I like television more than film). I feel like if POC, especially WOC were represented more off screen as well as on, that comedy would be flawless.

I see what you mean, I think... I understand sex to be biological, and gender as social... People should be able to live in their genders comfortably and they should be able to live as the sex they are. That is why the "switching," aspect is so confusing to me. I guess I'm just wondering if the transgendered people…

I don't think I've read that book in over a decade but I still lost my shit.

Well, the case makes me confused about sex vs. gender. I wonder if this group is also having similar experiences trying to balance sex vs. gender? Given the confusion many people go through on their quest to discover their sex and gender identity, I don't know, and I hope that they aren't victims of some sort of…
