I would have been okay with that. But he added the bit about not being able to get up the mountain. It was a small slight, but it left a bad taste in my mouth.

Meh, we can agree to disagree. I don't like my victories over homophobes with a side of ageism (saying "you can not climb this mountain because you are old" IS taunting, yes.) YMMV.

I'm not. You wrote your comment as if the fact that you weren't distracted meant something. As if it negated MY opinion. It doesn't. I'm glad you were not distracted, but that literally means nothing when some people say they were. I'm happy you cared enough to post, though.

Right, I agree he meant to be mocking, but mocking based on his age and ability to get up a mountain? He couldn't mock and taunt for being evil and doing terrible things? If there was a gay tyrant who wanted to kill a group of people, would it be okay to mock him for being gay just because he's an awful person? Or a…

Is today the first time that you've realized that not everyone sees things the way you do?

Right! He can climb a mountain! So he gets to taunt cripples and the elderly! Right on! Wait, what?

I didn't say it was the most important point. I just don't think that putting down someone for something is the best way to put forward a message of love and tolerance. I think he tainted his message a little, for me, at least.

Yep, I don't even care what it in that milkshake. It is topped with cinnamon toast crunch, and that's good enough for me. I'm in.

I think it's the way he said it. He said it insultingly. His statement is without a doubt a taunting "Haha, you are old and you couldn't get to the top of this mountain if you wanted to!" It's a tone that seriously distracts from his higher-minded message.

Explicitly? Old. Very clearly implied? Infirm.

Conflicted. On one hand, you go boy! On the other, ableist much? Why was that necessary? It would have been much more powerful if he hadn't stooped to call an old man names.

AGED 25! This is such a huge qualifier that is somewhat buried. How many 25 year old men (or women!) that you know were very much wanting children at that point in their lives? Some! Yes, of course. But definitely not all, even of those who became parents. While this is the average age for first time parents in the…

This shit is BANANAS!

Do you watch the show? Mindy Lahiri is a bit of a drama queen; it's totally in her character to amplify the drama of not getting a Friday night off to having her weekend raped. Is she a character you want to emulate? Of course not. Is she a real person? No. Your headline is misleading and irresponsible. Libel! Great…

After reading this the other day, the BF and I tried the sour belt spanking. Two things to report:

I think you're gonna have to get a thicker skin, friend. This is the mildest of criticisms. A quick "great minds!" would have gotten you out of it faster.

ABORT ABORT ABORT. This is not gonna end with a good-natured chuckle about your pranking prowess. It's going to take an event that could possibly bring out insecurities and jealousies and ramp those things up to the high heavens. We don't torture the ones we love, let your guilty gut be your guide!

This is wonderful. As a cis woman, I always have such insecurities about these transitions that can "pass" so well. My gut reaction is always to feel bad that trans women are so much more "womanly" than I am (the hips, the curves, the make-up skills! etc etc). It's a totally conceited reaction, but there it is. So…

They already have regular Coke Slurpees at 7 eleven. I'm sad I know that.

In what way does this qualify as "scammy?" They say your ring could only be worth $10; anyone who thinks they'll likely get one worth more is delusional, not scammed.
