COULD he have been hired by her? Sure.
COULD he be a genetically engineered, woman hating duck-billed platypus that has somehow broken out of the lab and learned to use the internet to attack feminists? Also, sure.

Does that ever happen? I hold doors for people all the time, and no-one's ever lambasted or criticised me for it; nor has that happened to anyone I know.

Actually I think that when so many people — many women — have an issue with a term, even when we are well aware of what feminism entails, maybe the term itself could stand for some reconsideration. I feel like the term has lost all meaning in a lot of ways: Sarah Palin calls herself a feminist, Sasha Grey calls…

Because it would be gauche to *actually* shit right on the poors, but metaphorically shitting on them still isn't quite enough. Therefore, smearing feces like a fucking monkey in the zoo.

Hell, I was confused by why she thought her salad was too fishy. It's a Caesar- it has anchovies in it. It's supposed to be fishy.

My point was not to invalidate her feelings, as she is a living, breathing human being, and this is how she came to her decision, and this is how she copes with it. My reaction and rhetoric in no way I hope will come across as critical of her own choice, just how her choice and feelings will be utilized another…

Sometimes it is an easy decision. Sometimes there are no emotions involved at all. I feel for women that struggle with it.

Holy shit, I want to reply to them so badly, but I don't want to bring them out of the grays. I'll just put this here and hope they see it: Comparing women's rights or civil rights to "animal liberation" is equating women and POC to animals. STAHP.

My husband starting watching this yesterday. I didn't watch it, but I heard it. When it became violent I made him turn it off. I have two small children and I don't want them to be exposed to that. The thought that their little souls could be torn to pieces because of who they are kills me. What happened to Daniel…

Yeah, but keep in mind, they re-elect the same morons in November.

Could people please STOP with this QT shit. STOP. A building can be rebuilt. I guarantee you there is insurance to cover it. MICHAEL BROWN IS DEAD. Nothing can bring him back.

YES. We need to have a serious discussion about the militarization of the police force in this country. They drive tanks and carry weapons used on the battle fields of Iraq. They wear all black and hide behind mirror aviators. They have urban military tactical suppression and demolition training. This is about…

I firmly believe that this militarization of our domestic police force is the single most dangerous threat to our country. Our fundamental civil liberties are under siege and nobody seems to care because, terrorism!

I have a single deal-breaker (which I stole from John Waters): "If you go home with someone and they don't have books, don't fuck them."

Toss any sentence beginning "I'm a flaming liberal, but..." in the same pile as sentences that begin "I'm not a racist, but..." and " I'm an ex- Navy Seal and..."

seriously? you're okay with people working for free? you are the problem.

This piece should be up for inclusion in 2014's edition of the best sportswriting of the year. Amazing work, thoroughly sourced, and incredibly eye opening to just how obscene sports "journalism" is when it comes to protected what their employers get contracts to air.

Many +1's

Oh man. Roz Joel used to live up the street from us and would give new businesses in town signed glossies of Billy (which she would sign), and if you raked her leaves or shoveled her walk she'd give you a CD of his greatest hits. Or sometimes Gershwin. RIP, Roz.

Gotta threadjack with some sweetness.

I have the exact same page of Munson cards (and yeah, the beard was a fuck you to Steinbrenner). I had the Munson poster, a jersey, his book, etc. I was 12 when he died and I cried all night. I just happened to be at Yankee Stadium the day they dedicated the plaque to him in centerfield.
