“We always kind of like to put things into left and right politics, but with the younger generation, they’re not interested in that,...

Kate Walsh helped Bristol Palin abstain... from talking about abstinence.
When the 'Private Practice' star heard that Palin was set to give a speech about abstaining from sex at Washington University in St. Louis, she sent out a tweet in support of students who had been protesting the planned talk all week:
Welcome to the Idiocracy! Rt @elliekirsh: @katewalsh please join students at Wash.U. to boycott Bristol Palin's speech on abstinence. What does she know about college or abstaining?
Pressure from students and Walsh ended up canceling the whole event, as The Huffington Post (via the St. Louis Post-Dispatch) reported that Palin and the University agreed to call it off:
Scott Elman, president of the advisory committee, said the decision to halt Palin's appearance as a keynote speaker was "100 percent mutual" between Palin and the committee. Elman added that he was very disappointed that students weren't...

Now a kid can't even be a tomboy without it being a major issue?! This is insanity!
When we saw the cover of Life & Style Weekly this week, we were outraged. The headline? "Why is Angelina Turning Shiloh into a Boy?"
This is just ridiculous. The girl is 3 years old. If she wants to have short hair or be a tomboy, why is it anybody's business? And why is this front-page news?
Life & Style even quoted a so-called parenting "expert" who implied that allowing Shiloh to express herself in this way is somehow damaging. "Little girls have never been women before," said Glenn Stanton, director of Family Formation Studies at the conservative organization Focus on the Family. "They need help, they need guidance of what that looks like. It's important to teach our children that gender distinction is very healthy."
Give us a break! Are you freaking kidding us? Move On!
