Yeah, the “normal childbirth” bit was really the shit-icing on that shit-cake of a post.

Except that determining who actually failed or dropped out of college because of “their own fuckery” is really not that simple.
It’s true: assuming most people don’t like to be called slurs is, in fact, not remotely condescending.
It’s a good thing I very specifically did not speak for all disabled people then, isn’t it?
Hi, I’m a disabled person. I am not magically immune to being hurt by words. I don’t have Super Disability Powers that make me not mind when people say hateful things, because I’m a person and people are often hurt by hateful things. And I wouldn’t call anyone a “pussy” or “retarded,” because I’m not a fucking asshole…
Another wheelchair user here! I, too, prefer it when parents don’t shush their kids. If the kids actually said something offensive or insulting that the wheelchair user could hear, scold them for it at a volume that the wheelchair user can also hear, and if they said something offensive quietly, scold them for it…
Yeah, I think the best models don’t just have beautiful faces, but also interesting faces. Kendall is obviously very pretty, but she doesn’t draw you in the way the famous supermodels do. I think one could plausibly argue that Kendall is more conventionally pretty than, say, Linda Evangelista and her kinda…
4, 2, 1, 3 is definitely the correct answer. (Although I did waver a bit between that and 4, 1, 2, 3. All the Marvel Chrises are very doable.)
Yeah, I read “we never saw her as disabled” and immediately thought about the article here after Muhammad Ali’s death about how insulting it is to say that he “transcended race.” It is not a compliment to say, “You’re such a model minority that I don’t even think of you as a member of your minority group anymore!” or…
Three, actually (four if you count David Blaine) - he also outed a guest star on his show (he didn’t use the kid’s name but apparently gossip blogs figured it out pretty much immediately) and mocked him for not defining his sexuality in the way Galvin would prefer. (Also, he used a public interview to inform the…
H-cup here who hates, hates, hates normal bras. (My body is apparently just shaped wrong for every bra in existence, because no matter how many fancy bra shops I go to and how many times I’m professionally fitted, the resulting bra will hurt like hell by half an hour into wearing it and I’ll literally have visible…
I honestly have no idea how you’re getting from “I used to feel empty” to “I think of this baby solely as a life/marriage improver and not an actual person, and expect the child to turn out how I want.” That’s a hell of a huge leap. I’m pretty sure a more rational reading of that statement is simply “I really wanted…
No. Being judged not competent to stand trial has nothing to do with his motives for murder, and whether or not he was in his right mind at the time of the crime doesn’t come into that determination at all. It’s literally just a judgment of “are you connected enough to reality at this moment to be able to exercise…
No, they definitely do not. If you are judged not competent to stand trial, you are institutionalized and treated until you are judged competent to stand trial - at which point, rather obviously, you are tried. You may potentially be found not guilty at your trial, just like anyone else accused of a crime, but there…
Me, before viewing this gif: “Huh, why John Cho in particular? I mean, he’s fairly handsome, but there are definitely other Asian dudes who are hotter.”
Uh-huh. And “all lives matter,” I’m sure. Amazingly enough, “it is generally hard to succeed in the music industry” and “the music industry is sexist” are not in any way mutually exclusive claims.
“And she’s not the best person to make that claim since she is a woman who has had a very successful career in music.”
“God never sends us more than we can handle” is a line that really manages a double-whammy of stupidity and offensiveness, both because, as you said, it implies that if you were less strong shitty things wouldn’t happen to you or your loved ones, and because it suggests that no one has ever had anything happen to them…
