A lot of police departments seem to be hiring military veterans, some of whom have been in war zones. Maybe soldiers are trained to shoot first and ask questions later, and/or tend to be more skittish in immediately assuming they’re about to be shot at.

I’m white and even without factoring in the exacerbating factor of their racial issues, find American men fairly sluggish with initiation and even more with dating follow-through. There are probably more complicated explanations, but to me it just feels like a kind of laziness.

That was epic amount of throat clearing, officer.

I had a relationship with someone who, when it started, seemed to be a fairly moderate, centrist Republican. Then Obama got elected, he started watching FOX News nearly exclusively, and constantly emailing me articles from sites like the Daily Caller. It was like he suddenly completely lost his mind, and would say the…

Not flustered. Petulant.

Thanks... I took it about someone I left three years ago.

The “houses near each other” arrangement is what I want (I’ve been married and divorced twice, and also had another failed long-term relationship). So far people I’ve dated find this weird. To me it seems like the only long-term prospect that could possibly make sense.

Well, those teachers deserve what they get. EVERYONE knew DeVos was coming if he won.

I cannot stand it when men are completely shaved. Looks like a plucked chicken. Blech.

Given the same logic, why don’t all the men who have trouble getting it up/ejaculating after their 30's or 40's (and apparently there are a LOT of them) drop dead, too? Preferably before they contact me on dating sites.

I hated those fucking David Hamilton books. Pretty sure my dad had all of them.

Yeah, it makes it even more if a betrayal that she's slagging off other women to that misogynistic blowhard.

This is the kind of smugness that turns people away from feminism, Gloria. I’m 50 and voting for Bernie...precisely BECAUSE I have become more radical as I’ve gotten older. I couldn’t care less about any “boy” acolytes he may have. Fuck her for that remark. Dismissing women—feminist women— and their opinions the way…

That's a terrible way to live? Because it sounds kind of fantastic.

This butthurt on the still RARE occasion that (white) men are excluded from a powerful group, after CENTURIES of comprising the totality of such groups, is really tiresome. Try to be a good sport once in awhile, FFS.

Thank you. I got called a “failed feminist” today for supporting Sanders over Clinton. The response to my argument, spelling out where I think Sanders’ record is a stronger feminist one versus where I think Hillary has failed women, was a oh-so-substantive “fuck him, he hasn’t declared himself an “ardent” feminist”.…

He’s that kid in high school all the other kids are afraid of because he’s going to pick on at least one person a class period, and all his douchey (but inexplicably popular) jock brothers are going to snicker at whoever he decides isn’t cool (which is pretty much everyone, at some point).

Seriously. That was so annoying.

What the hell did Ricky ask Mel Gibson?? Stupid censors.

I’m an immigrant and cannot STAND when other immigrants start their “these people are a slap in the face to meeeee, I did it the right way” bullshit. If you’ve gone through the system, you know how unnecessarily labyrinthian, incredibly time consuming, and prohibitively expensive that process is. This would make a…
