I didn't particularly like Sansa at first, then she was forced to grow up and thrust into playing the game of thrones even though she never wanted to play in the first place (and it's not like she could just leave, what with half her family being dead and the other half supposedly dead). Now I like her more than Arya…

Even if these guys have never catcalled or harassed women before, they undoubtedly know men who do or have seen other men do so. They may also be one of the many men who think women lie about how uncomfortable street harassment really is — they think it's friendly or flattering — or think women make a bigger deal of…

It really is just a way for politicians (who are usually old, wealthy, white men and have never had to think of abortions in their lives) to keep women and poors "in their place" and to punish women for having sex.

I think the only two other movies that really get close to having two female leads are Lilo & Stitch and Brave. The former never takes the leap of making Lilo's sister a true main character and the latter is still very much Merida's story with her mother acting as a foil for much of the movie, however. I don't think…

Yet more proof that a movie can be highly successful when the two main leads are female and romance doesn't have to be the driving force behind the story if the lead(s) happen to be female.

Yup. Instead of lobbying for change of any sort, they just tend to sit there bitching about how women are always to blame for everything. Some MRA's may actually try to change stuff, but they get drowned out and shut down by the very people they're trying to help.

Not really, no. If rape statistics of women come up, they will show up and say that more men get raped because of prison (not that that's actually true) but other than that they rarely do or say anything about it. In fact, when stories of male rape come up such as the recent case where a woman confined a man for a…

It could be because she's a 15-year old teenage girl and he is a middle-aged man, and calling a flight attendant while beside him is extremely confrontational. Women are taught not to confront men directly from a young age, and in this case the man has age, power, and gender on his side so I don't think it's odd at…

The cost of a single movie ticket would buy me a two month subscription to Netflix. Not that I have Netflix, but the point still stands. Add in the cost of popcorn and a drink from a theatre and I could order in a pizza and buy some chocolate and watch a movie or TV show from the comfort of my couch and not have to…

To add to what others have said, the cost of the ultrasound is often passed along to the woman despite being state-mandated. That can add hundreds of dollars to the cost of an abortion, an amount that can make it impossible for some women to get an abortion.

Sadly, I don't have any on hand. Life expectancy when infant and child deaths aren't included was something I picked up some time before the Discovery channel and History channel switched to "reality" shows, or maybe in a textbook somewhere. Sorry.

Welcome to abusive relationships, where the abuser usually starts out as charming and can turn the charm on when they want, and gaslighting makes you think when they lash out it's your fault.

Yes! People always forget about how infant mortality skews the average to be so much younger than it actually was.

My experience with those who drink energy drinks that frequently is that they really only drink them for the caffeine from an initial can, and after that it's for the taste. Or they build up a tolerance to caffeine because they drink several cans per day and instead of cutting back so their body can readjust, they…

This is one of my biggest fears. I have all my wisdom teeth (luckily causing no problems) but I also have a heart arrhythmia that most doctors don't take seriously and my body is super wonderful at metabolizing anaesthetics and drugs — my last root canal required 4 shots of freezing (two directly into my jaw) and a…

But the list says to never lie to him because either he knows it or will become obsessively paranoid with figuring out if you lied to him and why! What if by agreeing with him we are lying to him?

#21: He either knows you're lying to him or thinks you are and becomes paranoid about it, so always tell him the truth.

Because when you're a group that is largely ignored, ridiculed, or otherwise treated like crap, having something like a con targeting your demographic specifically allows far more discussion to happen and lets that specific demographic better reach out to the industry and help them address widespread problems. It also…

Yup, if this kid wasn't bullied over his backpack it would have been over something else.

Yup, and in this version of the show she makes apple cider and in one episode she got the nickname Appletini (well, Apple-teeny, but it's obvious what they were going for).
