The cat goddess has decreed that as his reward, he shall be reincarnated next lifetime as a pampered housecat, the highest form of existence.

He asked her to pick up some ribs and come to his hotel room. So he basically decided she should double as his rape victim du jour/ food delivery service. So he could have a post-rape snack, I guess. How did people ever mistake him for a decent human being?

Since I believe in reincarnation rather than heaven/hell (or any of the Catholic church's levels in between those, like limbo and purgatory and who knows what all else), this means nothing to me personally. I would feel happy for the sake of my pet-loving, church-going Catholic relatives if not for the fact that the…

How often do you hear men referred to as "brothers, husbands, fathers" ? Not as often as women are talked about as "sisters . . ." because there's an assumption that male identity is the default/norm. Women learn from an early age to identify with men, partially because there more male protagonists in fiction (whether…

In a just universe, homeless (but queer and larcenous) waif answers the ad, slips something in the guy's drink to make him sleep, then ties him naked to the bed. Then she and her girlfriend ransack his place, take anything of value, and find the PINs for all his cards. They depart after taking a few pics of him naked…

Yeah, she's a TERF. Feminists need to face the fact that our idols aren't immune to feet-of-clay syndrome. Basically, once you start idolizing anyone, you're setting yourself up for either disillusionment or becoming a mendacious apologist.

I've always wondered if sexual abuse, as much as early fame, is what makes so many former child stars prone to drug abuse and other problems.

Since Cosby and his lawyers and PR people successfully kept this story out of the media for so long, kind of have to wonder about other celebrities. Who else has a good reputation now due a shark-like team of protectors/enablers intimidating victims and reporters?

You're right. A lot of current articles seem to conflate the "Bill Cosby is a cheater" (or—ick—"womanizer") scandal of a while ago with the current scandal. Yet another facet of rape culture.

True as far as the current news stories are concerned. But I think the article was referencing the fact that he apparently had (supposedly) consensual affairs that were exposed in the media a few years ago.

Thanks for writing this. I'm already tired of reading criticisms of her. Blaming Camille is just another symptom of the need many people have to find a woman to blame for a man's faults, no matter what size. When a man cheats, people often blame either his wife ("cold, critical, drove him away") or the other woman…

Cheaper, less hassle, and less stressful for the cats if they had just hired a good pet-sitter.

I've always thought Rick Scott looks like a slightly younger Mr. Burns. Which is entirely appropriate if you've seen that old Simpsons episode about the Springfield Republican Party.

Back in the days when her show appeared regularly, didn't she used to give out gift boxes of these favorite things to studio audiences? I used to wonder how many of those people would have preferred that she just give them the cash value of the box, so they could pay their bills. Most utility companies do not accept…

How about a deity round of Fuck-Marry-Kill? Jesus, Thor or Isis? Go!

Ugh, this show keeps getting worse. Gemma is powerful, but only in an evil bitch-queen way where everyone roots for her demise. And when a woman initiates sex, as in this scene, they frame it as a male fantasy scenario, complete with her actually saying "Take me." I wish the misogyny level wasn't so high, because…

This is obviously untrue because Rush Limbaugh has not taken a shit in at least 20 years.

Yes, how horrible of feminists to kill the "buzz" of misogyny. Life was so much funnier when comedians made jokes stereotyping women without anyone pointing out the inaccuracy and hatred inherent in their words.

I like the secret baby idea but it seems logistically difficult. I once knew a woman (whip-smart PhD no less) who actually had twins without realizing she was pregnant. Aside from that kind of unusual scenario, the best method I can conceive for having a secret baby would be to persuade a few friends to don…

So unfair of all the single laydeez to inhibit the full exercise of his male privilege.
