And here I was thinking: What do Morrissey and Gordon Ramsey have to say about all this? 1 out of 2 isn't bad, I suppose.

If a senior in high school can't take out even an enraged 83-year-old man, said senior doesn't deserve to get some of her. I enter 83-year-old man fight club all the time (as a special guest) and my record is 14-0. I'm 12.

I think there's a paywall for that kind of content. That said, sounds delicious. *walks away covering head*

Num, num, num. Cookies for me.

I would say the primary difference is that the term feminist is addressing a chronically underserved/marginalized/overlooked group. Given any historical context, leading off as a men's rights advocate is just simply a big plump middle figure. There is no historical or ingrained sociological construct that upholds male…

No exactly. It would mean that a wealthy oil barron alum could spend tons of cash on a hobby (not just on facilities, but on actual players) and all of a sudden you could see a shit team like Manchester City (insert college program with mediocrity as its trademark) turn into the greatest collection of individual…

They look and taste like delicious treats! You know, things that a woman would eat. And no, they aren't all that outdated ... to French people! Right! Who's with me! *looks around, sees no one.*

Nods. A friend and I met a woman new to our city. She quickly became a regular fixture. She was fun, but also very up and down, particularly when there was alcohol involved. We talked to her about it. Always politely, but honestly. Not long into her adoption into our circle of friends, we'd be out and she would refer…

Well, it depends on how the marketplace is structured. Generally, as a principle, healthy competition is good for consumers and rewards those who do their jobs well. But that basic premise can also be bastardized by the rules being essentially written by the institutional powers who, arguably, are not all their…

Men's Rights Activists are like White Rights Activists. It's a non-starter. The correct term is human rights activist. But that title would also entail advocating for the group(s) of people who have been systematically oppressed, not just crying about how men's rights are being taken away. I don't think many (although…

Come on. You had me until you said suggested that women don't sit around all day and eat bonbons. That's just silly. We all know that bonbon eating is to women as are vaginas. Let me go find that non-empirical study on WomezRHorez.net.

But there's a difference between a system that rewards teams with the most money and one that rewards players with greater monetary compensation. In the team-reward system, the players really don't see greater perks correlating with greater success. For example, Ohio State players get the same reward if they are 3-9…

So you're saying, "Let the market sort it out!" Then doesn't that just reward the schools that can afford to pay athletes the most? Or would this be a capped endeavor? If not, this would just be an exercise in which schools have the richest boosters, no? It would be the Yankees/Chelsea/Manchester City/PSG model. This…

I had one, too. And I agree that in plenty of cases, it is a sweet deal. And even the jobs I got on campus were basically getting paid to pretend to work. But you're right, the case I'm making is for top, top level programs, where the the athletes are funding a mind-boggling infrastructure that financially supports a…

Not this argument again. They have a far better deal than non-student athletes? You mean the non-student athletes who don't get pimped out and aren't the backbone to selling millions of dollars of things and getting universities plastered all over every type of media outlet ever? It isn't a matter of getting paid vs.…

I'm really bothered by the fact that we're having a civil conversation.

But she is black, and in front of the world, your actions have meaning. Actions don't exist in vacuums when you are on national television. And there's a difference between calling someone a racist, and saying that what someone did stokes racial fires, whether intended or not.

Everyone? Sorry. Not everyone. None of us? Again. Wrong. But I'll cop to it because you want me to. Who are you to tell me if I'm expressing myself right? I like how you magnify a few to everyone. Because you're everyone, aren't you? You may not like how I express myself, what I say, or understand what I'm saying, but…

Except we don't live in a vacuum. Sure intent matters, but it isn't everything. It doesn't mean that you are intending to be racist, but when your actions are piling on centuries of the exact same kind of racially laced physical mockery, your actions can easily trigger memories of buffoonish caricaturing tied to a…

I just read over what I wrote. I said what I meant, exactly how I meant to say it. Rape-y atmospheres are totally not fun. I quite like how I did it. Colored drinks flashing all around the room. A touch of Daft Punk. I do, however, apologize if you didn't like it. I think you just think I should have had a different…
