My father and both of my grandfather were hunters (deer, fowl, etc.) and I grew up in a wonder white rural area with next to zero crime. In the last 6 years on my visits home, the "pro-gun" hysteria is so widespread, I've never seen anything like it in my lifetime. I DO support finding SOME solution to keeping guns…

I really wish that people would quit using the dead to push an agenda. Feminism especially is looking really guilty because of this.

Sorry, but I agree with RuPaul. If your idea of happiness is built on someone else changing what they say, what they do, then you really are in for a hard-ass road. I've read so many posts regarding this issue and I still don't see how the word "tranny" is offensive. I don't see people saying that "queen" or "twink"…

Yeah, as a FAMOUS gay man who dresses like a woman for a living (and who is black, btw) - he has NO worries about someone beating him or killing him, while shouting that word and for who he is. He could not possibly understand what is like to be different. Btw- I'm being sarcastic.

Bingo — I would argue that it is actually far more corrosive than simple click-bait, and the people here defending it here by saying "She never implied a connection to the massacre" are full of shit. The passage in full from the article is

Why should they have to debate? I don't want to have a "national conversation about gender roles in the media" with Seth fucking Rogen or Judd Apatow, I want to laugh at their dick jokes.

There seems to be a lot "Not All Muslims!" going on in that thread about the pregnant woman who was stoned to death by her family. Is that whining too?

That is LITERALLY the most boring video I have ever watched.

I am not saying I agree with Patton Oswalt all the time but for whatever reason his humor style gets a lot of attention from clickbait-y sites like Salon who want to manufacture controversy. So I see why he's so bitter. I think it's silly to blame Seth Rogen for anything. Most of these "let's blame XYZ movie" are…

Yeah, how dare they be offended that their rather harmless movies were part of a cause that led to a multiple homicide committed by a misogynistic psychopath.

I don't agree because her entire article IS click bait and I don't think Rogen & Apatow are out of line for being offended. I'm not a huge fan of their movies but Freaks & Geeks was a great show that focused on the outcasts. If I was them I would take offense to linking a movie that was written and starred in by them…

Well, here is the problem, you want to say Apatow movies have some childish humor, go ahead. However, the idea that his movies are particularly misogynistic or that it sends the message that any man is 'entitled' to women is completely absurd. If you actually bother to watch and pay attention to the movies (40 Year…

Can't a girl want to grow up to be an engineer and want to wear a tiara as well?

It's all context, here the genders are the same, it wasn't in the slightest bit sexual, and there's a cultural history of it being a harmless boyish prank.

Had it been a man doing this to a woman of course it would be totally different (and not ok). I concede that maybe pantsing someone is kinda a borderline thing…

Prior to the internet, once your time was up, it was up. In the past Jessica Simpson would be long forgotten now, only turning up in one of those Where Are They Now deals. But thanks to Twitter and Instagram these people can hang around forever. She's incredibly wealthy. She doesn't need to do this.

I totally agree. Being thin is really important to me (I'll admit it!) and, as far as I know, it was hard for her to lose weight. Good for her.

I think she looks great, and is obviously happy about it, so hey, it's all good.

This is why we defend the Enlightenment. DWEMs had it figured out a long time ago.

Marrying a non-Muslim man: really bad.

The fact that a relative turned her in confirms what I've always thought about the tyranny of "culture": people end up caring more about ideology than about their own fucking flesh and blood. An actual human you are even related to matters less than an idea you believe in. And the fact that the "holy" book, as well as…
