The Rose McGowans Are Bad For Feminism

Jun

2015

It’s sometimes difficult to distinguish legitimate feminists from self congratulatory idiots who parrot study session talk from their 1o1 Women’s Studies classes. Are you genuinely concerned about injustice or are you simply underemployed and generally frustrated? While there are still legitimate concerns in the realm of feminism, the discourse is increasingly dominated by blathering fools who ...

An Open Letter To Bros About Watching Sports

Jun

19

2015

My Fellow Bros, It’s time to stop taking sports so seriously. Sports are supposed to be a diversion. Entertainment. Supplementary. They shouldn’t occupy the majority of your knowledge, passion, and interest in life. A true bro should be well versed in the fields of cinema, literature, science, politics, fitness, and leisure activities such as sporting events and gaming. ...

2015

After Rachel Dolezal resigned as chairperson of Spokane’s NAACP chapter, a job roughly equivalent to that of the head of the Harlem’s division of the North American Country Line Dancing Association, it spurned many conversations about race and gender identity.

2015

19 Kids and Counting will become the second of TLC’s shows to be cancelled because the southern minstrel spectacle it exploited turned out to be a pathetic cycle of ignorance. There’s a seedy underbelly to the backwoods fools you’re chuckling at. Amid revelations that the Duggar family knew and concealed the fact that their anti-gay crusading son ...

Dr. Drew’s Hypocrisy Dangerously Douchey

Jun

2015

Dr. Drew’s resting pious face and the way he portrays what appears to be soul crushing empathy while listening to Natalie Holloway gossip has been growing tired for some time now. You get the feeling he routinely breaks down in tears on his drive home about the fate of Amanda Bynes. I’m not sure how much of this is feigned ...

Caitlyn Jenner Proves Your Soul Has A Price

Jun

2015

The reaction surrounding Bruce Jenner’s public becoming of Caitlyn Jenner on the cover of Vanity Fair was met with the cries associated with the hailing of a new Saint. The conventional narrative was that Jenner had ‘found her authentic self’ as the superbly well adjusted Demi Moore stated, as a typical example: Thank you @Caitlyn_Jenner for sharing the gift ...
