He's revealing more than he's arguing and I'm npt at all sure he intends to document how increased acceptance of womens' rights has also increased overt hostility to women. It hasn't changed that much; women still get viciously blamed and how much anything has changed is a pretense.

Oh, christ, thank you, and my family could have the most joyous throwdowns over pizza toppings.

I have a handy list....

You're in a hole, dude. Stop digging.

Still avoiding the point. Very dishonest. And cowardly.

People don't realize how disconcerting it is to abruptly arrive in an environment where one of the most basic facts of life——-language——-suddenly is alien to them. It can shake you to your foundations.

Do you speak Russian? That makes a huge difference, I think. I went to the opera and the ballet a lot and took lots of pictures. I knew I was going to be there for months so that's what I prepared for. I just took the dirt and dilapidation as the products of the city's age. I also had friends there already when I…

Are there stage dads? Do they get recognized for any wrongdoing at all?

Yeah no. If you're issuing a disclaimer you're in trouble, and you prove it be trotting out the standard crap about the pill causing abortion.

The law views women the way men do: as property that needs to be put in its place. Women get punished severely: men get taps on the wrist.

....considering that some churches have this revolving door policy toward sinning and forgiveness for SOME church-goers....That doesn't let people off the hook, though....

How come the people most interested in birth control pills are seemingly the least likely to inspire their use? I mean, look at Rush Limbaugh. Can you imagine what a horrible lay he is?

Awwwww. When I lived in Moscow, the Park Kultury stansia had an official cat——-complete with hat! And the famous Hermitage has a "staff" of cats.

Traditional masculinity and the family? Yeah, your dog whistles are showing.

It's like my male friends. None of them live in fear of false rape accusations yet I bet these gun nut types not only fear them they imagine plots and conspiracies——by, of course, the people they deny oppressing.

Their fear of black people and women is pretty much an involuntary confession to the abuses they have committed against those groups.

"Rush Limbaugh: the all-nude review."

I used to have to carry for a job. They asked me why I wanted to carry a hun——-a question no doubt inspired by all the guys who'd previously applied. And I replied I didn't care about the gun but I wanted the extra two bucks an hour.

Fear gets a bad rep but fear is reasonable and healthy in some situations.

There's a substantial undercurrent of misogyny in the gun movement. At gun shows you see books about screwing over your ex and making money that she can't touch. MRAs with guns: such a great idea.
