I hear you, but it’s important to note that Nigerian women’s groups did not want us to help in the way you are describing. This (meaning international negotiations), and things like capacity-building assistance for local efforts including counter-terrorism and countering violent extremism as well are the most…

This is not the whole story. The whole story does not have a happy ending. These girls aren’t allowed to go home - some of them are sent to prison, some to other places to assess if they’re dangerous. Some girls who were released last year ended up killing their families. These girls are severly traumatized,…

Between this, the election in France and the fact that I got to reconnect with friends I’ve known for 13 years all weekend I’m feeling really happy. I hope these young women receive the support they need to reintegrate into their communities.

Boko Haram married the Chibok girls off. What about any children they might have had? Were they released too?

I don’t know, I feel like we keep saying that about various Republicans and it keeps not being true.

“Everything changed when the Fyre Starters spoke.”

Okay this confuses me. I’ve heard people say she should have picked a pro-labor, anti-free trade person in order to pick up the “Bernie” crowd; except then people turn around and insist it wasn’t independents/far-left people who “lost” Clinton the presidency, it was college-educated white folks that should have been…

before the primaries were over. they’ve been trashing her for decades.

15 or 10, he’s still not gonna get any older, ok?

First things first. that picture is NOT a 15 year old... maybe when he was 10.

If you have no clue I would suggest you save your post until you do. You would know that our kids look like that at fifteen if you actually paid attention to “our” kids. My thirteen year old can still pass for eight and is always given a kids menu with crayons at restaurants. So save your “not knowing,” bullshit…

Rude people live everywhere. Mr. Portas and I chose to have only 1 child. People constantly asked when we were having another. After I said we weren’t planning anymore they had no problem telling me how bad for a child it was not to have siblings. That only children were spoiled, socially awkward, blah, blah, blah. I…

The big secret is that there’s really very little downside to graduating from Hot Club to unwoman club. It just means that dudes leave you the hell alone when you’re trying to go about your business. And as someone who enjoys solo travel, it’s a godsend.

Actually I thought that was the point of the scene. It was weird and awkward because the character was in a place where she was incapable of enjoying anything, and the sex was a desperate attempt to feel something as well as a compulsive act of self-destruction. I thought she was brilliant in that film.

This girl gets so many free passes and kudos simply because she is attractive. She’s an unethical businesswoman advising an unethical president. He’s using her as a shield while he pulls of his anti-woman antics.

I don’t think New Yorkers realize the constant stream of “New York is THE ONLY PLACE TO BE! THE BEST PLACE TO BE! IF YOU CAN MAKE IT HERE YOU CAN MAKE IT ANYWHERE!” that everyone else in the country gets inundated with. I think that people living in NYC fall all over themselves to justify their choice as much as…

I know I’ve said this on other articles about the same phenomenon, but I think for a lot of people it’s a defensive reaction to the shade you get when you leave New York. I skipped out of town 6 years ago (almost to the day) for Chicago, and I can tell you that the amount of people who insinuated that I just couldn’t…

“Brennan tells the Marine Corps Times that there’s a ‘bounty on pictures of my daughter...It has been suggested that my wife should be raped as a result of this, and people are openly suggesting that I should be killed...Can you imagine being one of the victims?’”

As long as you can get American soldiers killed, you will always have defenders, because there will always be people who think saying that American soldiers were sent somewhere to die for no good reason is more offensive than sending American soldiers somewhere to die for no good reason.
