When I saw the headline, my first thought was "Please use the right pronouns and name, please use the right pronouns and name...." I'm really, really glad he did. But as you said the fact that it's notable is rather sad...

That's the question though- did they need the internet to show this aspect of themselves? Probably not. I'm more wondering if being able to troll online increases their anti-social behavior offline, decreases it, or doesn't change it?

You'd rather misrepresent your relationship with your wife to her on a daily basis and put her at risk of STD transmission without her consent (or potentially force her to deal with a consort's accidental pregnancy with no warning) than talk to her about consensual non-monogamy? Just because she might make a…

So, I'm going to take what you're saying at face value and assume you're not yet a terrible person, and respond accordingly. Cheating is never the answer. At the same time, no one ever has an obligation to have sex with anyone else; this is the basic human right of bodily autonomy. Thus, it sounds like there are…

I've been wondering - can't they get her moved somewhere that will perform an abortions and then they can take her off life support? I imagine there may have been difficulties with that - it is Texas so there might not have been a place that can both handle the life support stuff and do an abortion available. And now…

One of the most awesome moments in Supernatural was definitely when Sam found slash fix online about the two of them, and Dean asks, "They realize we're brothers, right?" and Sam replies, "Doesn't seem to matter." Complete with 'WTF is wrong with you people' looks on both their faces.

One of the great things about butter is that even the cheapest brands have two ingredients: cream and salt. No crazy chemicals! When I noticed this I was very surprised.

If it makes you feel better I debated how to phrase that. The list includes one ethnic group, one religion, and one ethnic group/religion depending on how you look at it. Obviously people being more than one of those things is possible. I mean, my entire first post was talking about how Christian Israeli Arabs and…

You can't start the history of the modern state of Israel in 1948. For quite a while up until the later 19th century, almost no one lived there - a few Jews, a few Arabs, a few Christians. Then the Zionist movement started, and a whole bunch of Jews started moving there. Britain wasn't really sure what it wanted to do…

Um, no? When the media says 'Arab Israeli Christians' they mean exactly that - citizens of Israel who are both Christian and Arab. There are also a number of Israeli Arab Muslims too, and both groups have all the same rights and privileges as Jewish Israelis. The Palestinians, most of whom are Muslim (though some are…

I do not understand this. All but a couple letters are just the print letter with a line connecting them to the next letter. How could anyone not be able to read cursive? Even if you don't know one or two letters in a word your should still be able to guess! I think you should tell them tough nuts, they're old enough…

Oh, I didn't realize you were in the UK. Yeah, it's for US visas. It might be worth checking if it's a thing the UK too, though, just in case. Countries seem to have parallel laws like that in some cases.

I seem to remember something about there being specific protections with regards to visas for women who experience sexual harassment. So reporting it might help!

That really happened? Someone posted on my facebook wall about how awful green apple skittles are and I was thinking, "I don't remember there being green apple skittles!" Ugh. Green apple is IMO one of the worst flavors ever. And lime is so delicious! I'm gonna go be sad now, because I love skittles.

This is me too! The only kind of 'dolling up' I learned from my mom was how to do stage makeup and make costumes. And build stuff, because that's important to know too. And we all had terrible sweet tooths (sweet teeth?) and just ate normal "a protein-a carbohydrate-a vegetable" meals growing up. I've finally gotten…

Hyphenated names, while an ideal solution in theory, just get more and more complicated in execution when you factor in kids, and kids getting married. What we need is more portmanteau names! People should come up with a portmanteau name they like, and then the kids get that name and both spouses change theirs. No…

The interesting thing about this is that I was considering posting that exact article when I wrote my comment, as an example of someone expressing this whole thing better than I could. I'm curious, what about what she says makes her seem more paranoid than I do? Admittedly, I am less paranoid than her IRL, but that's…

She is ADORABLE.

In most cases, you are technically correct, it's not illegal to ask those questions. But doing so can be used as substantial evidence of discrimination in a lawsuit, so it amounts to nearly the same thing.

The thing you need to keep in mind is that women don't often talk about that sort of thing with men, because (we find) it will be dismissed or blamed on us if we do most of the time. A common thread in the comments on this article is that men are complaining that women always assume that those men are dangerous to…
