I agree. I feel very strongly that, especially if she truly believes her baby is hungry, the answer is she needs to feed her more and/or differently. So either (much like adults) feed her something that will keep her full longer (I.e. solids with complex carbs and protein) or just keep waking up in the middle of the…

Lol. Do it!

Apropos of nothing, this reminds me of a funny (/sad) story that I just want to share. My brother went to college in the late eighties. At one of his first “real” jobs, he was telling an older guy about his experience living in a coed dorm that had coed bathrooms. The guy responds “Seriously? Boys and girls shared the…

You can’t argue that there is a disparity in how one group is treated without pointing out (implicitly or explicitly) the better/more fair treatment of the other group. A disparity literally cannot exist without there being a person or group experiencing better treatment or outcomes.

I’m actually fairly certain that its not the very occasional case where a man is judged by his looks. Men who were too small, were too feminine, were too “wimpy” in one way or another have always been judged for it. Likewise, the criticisms about DJT’s hands aren’t just “haha, he’s disproportionate.” There’s an…

Disagree. While it is certainly true that men tend to be judged less on their looks, I’m not sure that the argument that a woman who you just said got to where she is based on looks should only be criticized for the content of her work quite holds water. More importantly, its unequivocally false that women are judged…

Meh. I didn’t see the movie, so I have no opinion on that. However, I think its interesting who we (not you, specifically) give a pass and who we don’t. Is Casey less creepy/rapey than Nate Parker? Than Roger Ailes? Than R. Kelly? Should your peers reward your job performance beyond the standard “fees paid for…

I get that in the not-quite-real world of think pieces and cable news, it is hard to truly recognize nuance. However, I don’t know that rules like “You can never, ever, EVER say/do X to a woman” is a good approach to the real, 3-D world.

That doesn’t make you a bigot. That makes you a person who has rationally evaluated a position and reached the conclusion that it is complete and utter nonsense, with all of its basic tenets predicated on lies and harmful to the general public.

Someone give that second Marine a medal.

Except when it comes to abortion and birth control + the realities of well-studied epidemiology.

Whatever it perhaps was prior to January (which was probably already terrible), you an bet that now there is zero assistance with anything. Just a quick “GTFO” as quickly as we can make it happen.

Pretty sure its the publicity that led to the charges. Its very clear that the local police were happy to just let this go.

I totally recognize that perspective. I just don’t agree with it. I think the biggest contributor to women being ashamed of being at an abortion clinic is stigma, which is largely driven by the left letting antis drive the conversation. While I certainly don’t want to sound like I am insensitive to patients’ needs or…

So I wasn’t there, I don’t know your friend (or you!), and I totally know being the friend who can never leave home without his/her soapbox can get exhausting. Still, I wish you’d just said something to your friend. Even a quick “it’s easy to be successful when you’ve got money.” Would I have said it if I were there?…

I don’t really understand why the montage has to be pulled together quickly. It’s not like they don’t have a whole year to plan the Oscars, or like most of these folks died last week. Shouldn’t they just be collecting the images, or at least filling in an Excel spreadsheet, all year as celebrities are dying to make…

I think we need to start creatively fighting back. clinics should hang big banners that say “We want you to choose what’s right for you. The guys next door/across the street/etc just hate abortion.” Pro choice protestors should have signs and shirts to the same effect.

Me, too. Before 8 AM. I think that’s gonna be my thing for the next 4 yrs.

I think he meant he didn’t decide whether to intervene on the basis of the victims’ ethnicity.

She already said she’s rounding out her “portfolio.” I hope that means “looking for other jobs.”
