Snooki will be inside the ball? I would much prefer it if Snooki WAS the ball.
Women in the Netherlands work less, have lesser titles and a big gender pay gap, and they love it.

@morninggloria: Girls become lovers, who turn into mothers, so make sure you put on a condom, too.
When Dr Miller told Don he would be married by the end of the year, she meant it would to be a woman like Megan. It breaks my heart that she knew that last Christmas and got involved with him only to be proven right. Megan is aspirational. He loves the way she makes him feel about HIMSELF, but his self loathing will win out in the end.
Don and Betty aren't that different. Both of them desperately want a fresh start and to escape from their lives and from themselves. Neither of them, however, can appreciate that "lives carry on" - there’s no such thing as a fresh start if you can’t examine your own anxieties and identity conflicts.
There is absolutely no justification for the way that Betty treated Carla - it was cruel, shortsighted and selfish. But the terror she felt at having her weaknesses exposed mirrors Don’s fear of the same. And I’m sure that Betty saw Henry in the same way that Don sees Megan - she felt like herself around him, or at least the way she always wanted to feel about herself: as a beautiful, desirable wife of a respectable, paternal man. Megan, similarly, is like the mother Don always wanted but never felt he deserved.
Don got closer to accepting himself and integrating his strengths with the shameful, intolerable parts than Betty did, but they’ve both ended up in the same place.

@Mr. Praline:
For the record, my first retirement had nothing to do with gambling, you assholes. You'll pay for this.

@crimsoneye: Sure, but the consequences for that invasion of privacy are way worse for a freshman who gets outed by a roommate or a woman who gets ranked on a scale out of ten.
This woman is going to take massive amounts of shit from both men and women. The dudes in the article have had their privacy violated, but "win" for a couple reasons - they're the blameless victim, and having sex with a girl who other hot guys have slept with is a status symbol.
If it were a list of women, the dude would be - rightfully - castigated, and the women would be eagerly ranked on their physicality and called sluts regardless.
I don't understand why Jezebel would post something like this - I feel bad for those dudes. But the person who loses here is the girl who wrote the article - if you don't think that's the case go check out the comments on Deadspin. And even if she can parlay it into something lucrative, she's still gets to be called a whore.

@InfamousKai: The reason it's not the same is because men generally aren't shamed for having heterosexual sex.
This girl is taking most of the heat from men and women.

BUT THEN YOU ALSO WOULDN'T HAVE A BOYFRIEND!
When I started medical school, I expected to meet really interesting, well-read and curious people. I didn’t. I mean, I met a few, but the reality is that the group of people medicine (or law, I imagine) selects for are people who know how to do the paint by numbers thing. You know, good GPA, extracurriculars, summer research gig, volunteering, etc. They were largely very ambitious but most of them didn’t read books for fun. They didn’t get excited about movies, or politics, or music. They were regular people who worked hard and were good at memorizing stuff.
I have met brilliant, creative types who can see the world differently - engineers, teachers, retail associates, musicians, pharmacists, computer programmers, journalists, people-who-have-jobs-i-don’t-quite-understand. Yeah, it’s a privileged bunch for the most part, but I think that the spiritedness, curiosity, wittiness, and sparkle I define as SMART correlates very poorly with job status.
I think the problem comes when professional people assume they are SMART because school tells them so, and can’t understand why people don’t respond to them in the ways they want. Some of the most irritating and socially-inept people I have ever met assume they aren’t in relationships because they’re too "smart". I also think that a man who would reject someone who was spirited, curious and witty probably isn’t that SMART, or at least compartmentalizes his life in a way that his gender role conflict precludes him from appreciating it.
I feel like SMART women can be receptionists or lawyers, and are both likely to get rejected by incurious men or guys who are too rigid to see the world like these women do. And that’s their problem, not the woman’s.
YOU DON’T WANT TO BE WITH A DUDE WHO LIKES INCURIOUS PEOPLE

These kinds of articles make me anxious - obviously, this kind of breathtakingly stupid racism is worth fighting against, but when this stuff becomes the face of racism worth fighting against, people have an excuse to minimize their own intolerance or benefit from a racist system.
This kind of racism is KKK Bogeyman in the closet stuff - it exists, it’s horrid, but it’s just the jamoca almond fudge version. Other flavors include institutional, scientific, inequality of opportunity jubilee, and ignorance & cream, But if we keep coding "RACISM" like this, I worry it gives the more insidious stuff a pass.

@lilydancing: Nah, because I'm so amazing that I can be on the internet all goddamn day long and be more productive than you are. Um, how's about we all post how much money we make and our latest performance reviews? You first!!

The ballad of Sarah and Laura
Writing on the page of my Twitter
Trying to use my right to free speech
Those liberals in heat hope Dr Laura retreats
But our reloaded guns are still within reach
Christ you know it ain't easy
You know how that cackle can be
But the way things are going
Those rads will crucify me.
