Bien dicho.

True, and I also think the Catholic logic is that there's something implicitly sinful about AI because it doesn't involve actual p-in-v. God doesn't like it when ladies turn down the peen.

Hell, she's not pregnant because she's defying the Vatican by using sinful, sinful birth control. Like...uh...99% of Catholic women in America.

I think he's doing the sadface because he feels emasculated by all the flowers on his shirt.

Yes, the enclaves are crime-ridden neighborhoods ruled by men who think nothing of attacking and terrorizing women. But because they claim to do it in the name of G-d, and their leaders have a disproportionate amount of political power, the Israeli authorities sit around with their thumbs up their asses and do nothing…

By that same logic, they would have to fire married women who become pregnant via artificial insemination or IVF, which would be even less defensible to the Catholic rank-and-file than this particular injustice.

Yeah, me too. The Archdiocese can't fire here a woman because she's pregnant...but they claim they can fire her because of how she GOT pregnant. I'm going to pop some popcorn for those arguments.

They can't. Which is why it's risky for non-Haredi women to walk around in one of their neighborhoods. What's utterly infuriating is that the police and local government simply turn a blind eye to what's a total violation of civil liberties, and are very slow to act when a woman complains or is attacked. There's a…

Very true—-that's why I mentioned the misogyny you'll encounter at the holy sites—as long as the Haredim run them, misogynist assholery will prevail, and will go unchallenged by the authorities (I was told by soldiers that if I davened there, they wouldn't protect me if I was attacked.) The fact that the government…

Not to worry...Nudniks like these guys tend to stay in clearly defined all-fanatic neighborhoods, like Beit Shemesh or Meah Shearim. There are signs posted on the streets that lead into the neighborhoods that warn of the consequences if immodest women try to walk around with their ankles hanging out. You cannot just…

Even when Kim acts like she's shlumping casually around the house in sweats or pj's, she always has perfectly airbrushed makeup and false lashes glued on. I'm sort of in awe because I can't imagine caring that much about makeup or spending hours putting it on and taking it off every day. For me, it's a good day when I…

Totally agree—I'm in awe of how well she's managed to hold it together and keep working. I wouldn't be able to get out of bed, let alone put on makeup, a dress, and perform for an audience if that happened to my family.

''You know and I know that she's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of a president."

Hearted back!

I think it's because Ayn Rand followers are scarier than Jesus followers. Which I hadn't fully realized until recently....

Too bad. I know it's not the most unusual name out there, but still....if she'd been related to the Koch brothers I would have been tap-dancing with glee.

Is she one of THOSE Kochs? Because then I'd be very, very interested.

Well obvs, but I think there's also something in the strong brows and cheekbones. Although this guy doesn't have the big ears...

Google image search......aaaaaand now I'm pregnant.
