Because a rape "joke" in which rape is normalized (see above) is a fucking problem. It's not a funniness level. It's normalization of drugging someone. It teaches that's it's FUNNY to drug and rape someone. Now Louis CK can tell a rape joke that doesn't normalize rape, that doesn't make the rape the funny part. His…

Nobody is diminishing anything, Jesus fuck. Nobody. Diminishing. Shit. Not happening. Your focus on the first sentence without understanding it because you apparently refuse to read the rest baffles me. If I walk into my house and my dog jumps on me and my cat only looks at me, the cat isn't being negative. She is not…

She's speaking of "big deal" in a positive sense. The next line is an example, when people would come up to her to take pictures with her. It was a bigger deal to the sailors of color, than to the women on the ship, in terms of fan attention.

Um lol. Mine is not as as bad. Frantically cleaning the house for guests and I'm crossing the kitchen with the deep fryer. Pixel tangles herself in my feet and ends up covered in old cooking oil. Five minutes in the tub and I was bleeding freely so I decided to just her clean herself.

But it's okay to fail. It's okay not to be able "succeed" when measured against those that are neurotypical or nondisabled. It is just as important to give a voice to those who don't have a meteoric rise to fame. A few years ago, a kid on the spectrum fact checked some Blizzard devs at a conference. It was recorded…

What's that?
A perpetual motion machine.
Lisa, in this house we respect the laws of physics!

Thank you for speaking.

I think she might have meant Stellan, his dad. I can see that. And since father Skarsgard seems to produce some HOT children (seriously, look up a family picture) maybe she's just hoping for the future.

You are awesome and your words are choice. ;) I firmly believe that one should ONLY use phrasing that can be interpreted both nicely and nastily when referring to future romantic entanglements of asshole exes. For instance, if I'm having dinner at a restaurant I may refer to the "waitress" as the nice lady that…

Seriously! I have found that men that are suuuuper focused to exclusion of all else on any single body part are children. It's a weird fetishistic thing and in my experience it was most prevalent in douchey man children. Not just boobs! Feet, butt, legs, one guy was obsessed with the length of my torso. Good one night…

I had always understood tattoos to be no-nos for Jewish people. Can't be buried with one in a religious graveyard type thing? Which makes the Holocaust numbers a question. And this is not a joke, and it is not a terrible and tasteless attempt at a pun, it is just a legit question with unfortunate other…

Thanks Emily Yoffe!

Omg ladeez be straight bitches right? With their snotty friends and appletinis and lack of appreciation for my Neckbeard. (That capitalized itself, and it stays!) You know what would be an actual funny Girls are Assholes parody video? Have them act like MRAs and PUAs.

It drives me nuts that you can tell people that your house got robbed or someone stole your wallet, but it's a shameful thing to "admit" having been raped. 95% of the responses are either ENTIRELY too "omg im sorry!" semi-freakout or pseudo-solemn slow nod with a VERY serious Thank You For Sharing at the end. I don't…
