While there are severe problems with discriminatory enforcement (not just of SYG, but laws in general), this is an instance of writing an article without knowing what you’re talking about. Not all SYG laws and policies are the same. In some other states, prosecutors are given discretion to dismiss charges on SYG…

“English muffins” are quite common in the UK. That’s what “crumpets” are.

While you try to imply it is, it’s not a sexist thing at all. It’s a tattoo culture thing. Almost all of the most prominent shops would have provided similar treatment and advice (some more kindly, many much less so) and many more local shops have similar policies. Just as a pragmatic matter, they don’t want to deal…

The whole thing reminds me of this: http://southpark.cc.com/full-episodes/…

The vitriol was unwarranted and the misogyny vile. However, it was clearly not a misinterpretation of her intent to read it as making the point that tampons should be subsidized/free by way of leading question, because it is her MO to ask "obvious" questions and she indeed explicitly said "I WANT FREE TAMPONS." http://…

Hovering is the bane of everyone who's ever had to clean a ladies' restroom.

"This woman has done a tremendous amount of [activist image cultivation] regarding international human rights and refugees, [only donating extremely modest sums relative to her wealth and regularly supporting organizations that have questionable track records, many of which even have a history of counterproductive…

I can hardly believe anyone accepts Macklemore's claim of ignorance. Dressing like a Shylock and performing a song about penny pinching just isn't believably an accident any more than dressing in blackface and doing a tap routine during a song about grape soda would be.

Browsing around the pits of pseudoscience that are natural remedy forums is a problem in and of itself.

And this is why I will never intentionally participate in producing crotch fruit. I would be far, far too resentful of the demands, stress, and restrictions parenthood would bring and cannot remotely imagine myself taking any kind of joy at all in it.

I'm sorry, but perhaps you missed the PSA:

Just in case you needed further confirmation Thurston Moore is a dick, we're all a bunch of "gender fascis[ts]... [who] promote hate by imperialist blather."

What's the man version of feminism? There isn't even a word for it.

Being a fanatic for Sonic Youth and Kim Gordon, hate already burned in my heart. This just takes the Dickwaffle Level (tm) right off the scale. >:(

Totally off-topic, but this is 1st time I'm seeing them, so... Am I the only one who finds the ads... tacky? The Lindsay Lohan docu-series and Gossip Girls advertised on Jezebel? What. The. Fuck!?

Beware those stories. They are misleading, using quintile mobility instead of actual living standard mobility. Mobility in terms of raw income is higher in the United States and tax burden is substantially lower. Another example is share of the poor. What qualifies as working poor in the US does not in the UK, despite…

Before anything else, let me be entirely clear that I wholly agree with you. That said, the "zero tolerance" attitude regularly jumps the shark from rejecting MRA madness to silencing. For example, it often often difficult to point out problematic elements (which are ironically rooted in patriarchal notions) within…

I'm happy to see you and others calling out the SRA credulity here. It's a refreshing change of pace.

It is bullshit. Read the sources. The Satanism was fantasy of one of the accused and no evidence was found to support it. This was "just" some sick people in a Christian fundamentalist church molesting children.

My fault for being unclear. That was a general remark that Jezebel seems credulous about this story of thing overall. This is a Satanic panic case. The molestation is real, no doubt. The Satanic elements, notsomuch. From the very link YOU provide (linked from the claim of Satanic writings):
