To be fair, that's not Patton's quote. It's a paraphrase of another very terrible quote, shown next line down.

Just nb, your excerpt isn't a Patton quote, it's paraphrasing the following:

Pretty sure gym means gymnastics, considering the others mentioned in the same group (ballet and cheerleading). That's a pretty common nickname/shortening, at least it was when I was a (rec) gymnast in the nineties.

Sorry no, women are just as visual as men. You should probably dig a little deeper into your understanding of cultural conditioning.

As others have pointed out, it was a hoax, and this article really needs to be updated.

I don't want kids, but back when I was wavering I used to think I'd prefer to be a single parent for exactly this reason.

I wonder what happens when Doug tries to write a sentence shorter than 100 words? Do his hands detonate or something? I mean, maybe there's a scientific explanation for his style.

Gross, dude.

I'm inclined to think that by that point there was no conversation - just one-sided creepiness. If I were in her position, having tried politely to deflect the previous sleazy comments, these last three posts are definitely where I would be drawing the line and not responding at all.

Er, yes?

I did say I'd consider it, but I'm being purely hypothetical. I think long-term monogamy is over-idealised and probably unnatural, so I doubt I'll ever be in that situation myself.

Great article!

I'm an ethical vegetarian, slowly progressing to vegan, and I also abhor zoos for all the reasons you've outlined. Yes, zoo animals are unhappy. They're incredibly bored, and very stressed (rocking, pacing and repetitive movements are classic symptoms). Natural behaviours are suppressed (a parallel I draw with factory…

Thanks for this - it's the kind of information I wish was included in the article itself. Jezebel is definitely not an animal-rights-friendly space, and now with Laura gone I fear that angle will be missing completely from the site. The liliger post from a couple of weeks ago was terrible. :(

See, the whole 'in good times and bad' philosophy re. marriage has always kind of boggled my mind. What on earth is the benefit, to anyone, in being miserable? Why is 'sticking something out' that is no longer working, and may well never work again, considered the righteous course of action? If the way to make…

Equating picking your nose or shitting on camera with being nude is a bit disingenuous, yes? Because nose picking and explicit pooping aren't ever shown on TV, whereas naked (hot) people are, all the time. If Dunham's body offends you, feel free to look away, but it's ignorant to dismiss the very valuable commentary…

I have to wonder if you live in the world when I read a comment like this.
