@wesker1989: "But this central tenet of what we are doing all too frequently gets lost in the frothing rage of white middlclass westerners patting each other on the back about how awful our imperialist invasion is, and how dare we not let them decide how to run their own country, that would be racist!"

@That-Dude: Thanks for that, I was going for a nuanced response but clearly I failed. You've enlightened me about how I need to be more nuanced and smarter. Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it. If it weren't for you I wouldn't ever have understood nuance or critical thinking or social issues or casual

@lizyfizy: You know that this was originally written for Feministe, right? Just to be clear—the writer is not a regular contributor to Jezebel.

@HighThaid: Congratulations, you're not a rapist!

@mova: Clearly you haven't watched enough Buffy, because that's not how it works.

"13. "Those who are openly gay will be excluded from social functions, such as barbeques."

Hah. I love this. It was great.

@OutlawDominus: Your professor sounds like an asshole. And an idiot. I hope someone coughed on him.

@HoneySmacks: "any marriage where one partner stays home and takes care of the house and kids and so on while the other works and pays for everything is basically the same thing"

@DasStan: Yeah, haven't you ever seen Jurassic Park?!

@SamIam24: All pancakes are disgusting unless they're roughly 40% chocolate chips. And 40-50% chocolate chip buckwheat pancakes are really, really healthy in many, many ways.

@Melodyannabelle: I got mine at petsmart or pet co or pet supplies plus or something.

@firstpairofboots: What kind of excuse-making do you mean? "Big-boned" etc isn't really excusing a dude's fatness, as much as it is not judging male bodies the way female bodies get judged. Double standard seems like a more precise term, no?

@walkawayrenee: I don't have any, because the men in my life who act like this rather quickly get Xed out of my life forever. I mean, I do try to help—explain, rationally and clearly, why that's a crazy bullshit woman-hating thing, and then if they listen and come to see the light, they can still be my friend.
