I'd live in that world of no things, thanks.

Yeah what the eff! Jez needs a follow up article on this :)

Yeah, that's what I mean! Plenty of pickin's for the ladies.

Here in the Bay Area, we young single ladies call it "Man-Jose."

An "inclusive society" would mean having a representative form of government, which is what the US has, actually *be* representative. The individuals who are going to be best able to make policies for a group of people will be actual MEMBERS of that group. We need more minorities and women in leadership positions,…

EEK - this is a great point. Women of color, always getting left out :(

LOL "allowed to stay home" - yep, women really had a say in how their lives turned out pre-feminism. You should be a history teacher, everyone has it all wrong - women CHOSE to be in the kitchen! WE forced men out of the home!

I read a Slate article about this rape, and the woman had to have her uterus and intestines removed because she was raped with an iron rod on the bus.

Sorry, but until men have uteri, I really don't want them to making the policies regarding them.

Good to know! I was scared, I was pretty sure someone could only be that much of a jackass unless his balls were in a knot.

This is the second time I've read dry vagina from you in a comment on this post, you really like that phrase don't you? Telling. Anyway, enjoy your "game"!

Ha ha!! He just blew a fuse.

This idea is a source of comfort for me in this whole debate.

Amazing how that mental leap was made. Also pretty creepy.

Does it hurt to be that bitter?

This damn guy! I made the mistake of responding to one of his comments yesterday. All of his bullshit is about how "feminism measures up poorly", or "feminism is hypocritical" or the like. I guess people threatened by the idea of gender equality - so much so that they spend all their time flailing around the comment…

Ohhh okay. So we fundamentally aren't going to ever reach anything near a consensus. I most definitely don't think feminism is hypocritical. The pay gap certainly does exist, and government-sponsored maternity leave should be a thing. I don't think men should pay on dates, it's patronizing as I make more than the vast…

This is why this whole thread has been so confusing for me - I am a young woman and I NEVER expect a guy to pay! I would feel awkward as hell, twiddling my thumbs as the check came.

Both. Please, do explain how this stands up to principle (I'm not addressing the sum part of the question as it seems obvious they don't compare).

This, so much. Maybe if we were constantly forced to actually confront the consequences of military action we'd be less inclined to declare war. Instead of dividing up and repackaging the horror, like not all of the violence is happening to humans.
