Yes I did. And I will argue that the email reflects a rather insular narrative of childhood and the work of a scholar who is under read in the field of childhood studies or not interested in the most compelling research that would trouble the theoretical underpinnings of her reasoning. I am particularly aggrieved by…

Ben Carson trying to be funny would probably violate the Geneva Conventions. Nevermind that it’d be a class action lawsuit waiting to happen for all the pain it would inflict on viewers; the dude would probably start a holy war by accident if he forgot his his lines and winged it for ten seconds.

Trying to preempt those comments doesn’t make them any less relevant.

Whoa, womanism is a valid alternative to feminism.

Great piece. It really reveals the disease of binary thinking in America.

I don’t get it either. Part of it might be that the “my kid is a beautiful unique snowflake who can do no wrong” mentality that so many parents have supercedes any empathy with a fellow female. In which case, we need to vote them off the island.

This is the smartest thing anyone has ever said on the internet.

There’s quite a bit of elision and misinformation presented here. I truly don’t have the energy to dig into all of it, but let’s take on the scare-quoted oxybenzone and Vitamin A, for example. Retinyl palmitate, the natural form of Vitamin A that is used in sunscreens, has been proven safe by multiple rigorous,…

I thought we all knew that the EWG is utter bullshit and its methodology is also bullshit.
