I like playing football. Watching it is not as much fun, but it's still a fascinating battlefield simulation not entirely unlike early editions of D&D.

I'm not following this logic. The judge doesn't seem to be explaining why he thinks that the man didn't understand that she meant no even though she was saying no.

Maybe you're right. It just bugs me that it's so easy to point fingers at obvious problems on the other side of the world, when similar problems are institutionalized in our own backyard.

This is sad and infuriating. But not surprising. What did everyone think happens to a large percentage of the embarrasingly huge number of people that we send to prison every year in America? Prison rape is a joke in America, an unspoken part of the sentence. The threat of it is used to keep people in line, afraid…

I'm not at all sure about where he's coming from. But I like his advice.

Fast food is illogical.

So the study is implying that men are secretly in a state of financial competition with their spouses, is what I'm getting? So it's not really necessary for a man to earn more money than all other men, as long as he's got someone at home he can feel superior to at the end of the day?

Online dating makes no sense to me. How can you know whether or not you have any interest in a person if you can't smell them? Among a million other things.

Beautiful work.

No single artistic paradigm should ever be allowed to dominate any medium. And as much as I enjoy what I believe the kids are these days calling, "arousing the male gaze," (which I think could be more accurately termed 'cause it obviously appeals to more than just males and just as obviously doesn't appeal to all…

It's a good article, but I still don't understand why online threats aren't taken as seriously as threats made in other media, especially given that there should be more of a record of online threats.

There's no way to judge the rightness or wrongness of this.

Entirely relevant. In context, her speech stops being a righteous soapbox and becomes a deflection. She's using her gender as an excuse to not have to be as experienced as a person really should be, given the office that she's seeking.

But ... ummm ... a congressperson probably doesn't have enough experience to be president, regardless of having served in the military, regardless of gender.

One of the few women (especially outside of the 90s) that ever got to give a motivational speech to the troops at the end of a movie.

That is confusing. Is that satire of some sort?

I agree.

I am not a fan of Jezebel. They seem to have this weird 'if we just hate on men enough, we can stop rape!' sort of attitude that I find offensive. I interpret much of what they do as an attempt to stir up controversy which they then profit off of with all the clicks that controversy generates. I've read great…

I think that feminism became a dirty word for two reasons:

In a practical sense, this doesn't sound like the kind of thing that will lead to a lot of prison terms. More like leverage in divorce suits.
