    @clickable: The more time passes, the more I just get so pissed off at your response and that of many here. OUR WHOLE LIVES we are told "Calm down, it's just a joke, it doesn't mean anything." as a way to shut us up, to keep us from protesting being marginalized in such a way. I NEVER thought I'd get that from my

    @ifes: Agreed. I can't believe how many women are defending him here, just because they WANT to like him. Yes, he can be funny. Sorry, he's still sexist and doing enormous harm. I can remember being a little younger than I am now and watching a Chris Rock sketch and just walking away feeling very much like less of a

    @AllieCaulfield: And yet I bet you would never tolerate that role reversal elsewhere. I can't believe how fast feminism falls on this site the minute someone likable does something sexist. Saying "I don't like my men to talk either" does NOT make his sexist garbage okay! Role reversal does NOT stamp out the fact that

    @clickable: Oh, so it's okay, because he "doesn't mean it" and has a "strong" black woman on his show? Not buying it. I don't care if it's fake for him. In fact, that would make it worse. He's doing REAL harm and the men out there who believe him aren't thinking "Yeah, but we don't really mean it." It's funny to them

    @shananigans is living in the moment: And don't you ever dare try to challenge me to broaden my horizons, learn new things, or be less dependent on my friends and lovers. Curse you!

    @Cactus: I'm laughing at myself right now because I actually expected these to be sold at Neiman Marcus or Macy's.

    @shananigans is living in the moment: I think he expected Carrie to be more independent than she was. Sadly, I think he needed a more *gasp* feminist woman to have that relationship work out.

    @Meglantine: Deal. But who gets the wig? At least, I'm assuming its a wig. Tough to get that kind of fabulous color *and* volume with a dye.

    @paperispatient: "There are times that I can't believe Carrie writes a column about sex because she comes across as so narrow-minded and ignorant."

    @NefariousNewt: Agreed. The more time goes on, the more Bush starts to look like a confused old geezer who got lost on the way back to the nursing home. I'm not used to having a President that feels neither slimy nor incapable.

    I NEED THOSE SHOES. They've everything I've ever wanted in a pair of heels. The color, the fabric, the height, the shape, the kickback to ballet shoes and those elegant lace ups. I NEEDS THEM.

    @AnnaBanana: Agreed. Also, I think she's more of a snob about her partners than the show makes direct mention of. Notice, she couldn't settle down until it was with someone fabulously cultured and rich like Big, someone who could enable her conspicuous consumption while never curtailing her self centeredness.

    @paperispatient: Oh wow, you picked up on that too? I was always so offended by the show's take on bisexuality. They were downright bigoted about it—showing us as greedy hipsters on the coattails of a new trend. And they were no prize with homosexual issues, either, if you ask me. They're partly responsible for the

    @femme-bot: Agreed. In my opinion, sometimes getting a dose of your own medicine is one of the only ways to learn empathy and compassion. No, it isn't right what the site owner did...but I'm not gonna be losing any sleep over it, either.

    @krishna830: DANCE is a good closer, and I like DVNO to get things started (the intro and pacing is perfect for that warm-up). I sometimes wrap things up with Do You Wanna by Franz Ferdinand, or Everybody Needs Love by Fatboy Slim. And when no one is around to hear my way-too-loud iPod speakers, a little Respect by

    @krishna830: Lemme tell ya, there are few things that can help me blast through a workout better than Just Dance. Coincidentally it is the only Lady Gaga song I own, and usually the embarrassing tracks on my iTunes are the ones I workout to.

    @sweetpiece of fluff: If it was a front, he wouldn't dare do it. I'm sorry, I don't see why Chris Rock gets a pass just because he's funny, when we'd skewer any lesser (offending) man on this site in a second.

    @pssshwhatever: Exactly, and I think that's what my beef is. I respect people's freedom to be selfish, but he's contributing to a culture that says women are only useful in servitude, sexual and otherwise. My whole life (pre-feminism, that is) I had to adapt to the idea of "I suck, and men are better, but hey, I can

    @pssshwhatever: Yeah I'm not sure I like the reverse either. Expecting someone to wait on you and then giving nothing back (by telling them to not even talk) seems smarmy and self involved, not to mention a little cruel. If you don't want them to talk, then maybe it's time to shop for a better relationship (I mean
