Actually, it IS an American thing to balk at chipping in your own food and drink.

Of course, you're leaving out the fact that when people elope they often face a barrage of criticism from people who wanted them to have a wedding.

What's so horrible about taking what you'd spend what on dinner and drinks on a Saturday night and instead contributing to an awesome party your good friend is organizing where you eat well, drink unlimited amounts, and dance all night?

You only think that because you're a tacky American.

Good timing on this.

There are of course plenty of sex surveys and studies about sexual preferences and activities out there.

"There is no overwhelming editorial voice on Jezebel."

How is my argument a straw-man argument?

If you re-read my comment I wasn't talking about the reaction of anti-circumcision folks, I was talking about the tone of the article here on Jezebel.

1 - Jezebel staff writers and commentators regularly engage in hypotheticals about a variety of topics and circumstances.

If this was a male gynecologist talking about his first pap smear ("look out ladies, here I come") do you think that the accompanying Jezebel article would be apologist in nature?

This comes from a good place, but it's important to understand that it's still patronizing.

Agreed!

I think you just proved his point.

You just proved his point.

The guy was talking about the advice he gives his friends in dealing with anger. It was the same for both genders.

I liked the part where you ignored that he asks both his male and female friends to calm down in the same way, when he honestly thinks they're so angry they're going to do something they'll regret.

Jezebel has barely covered the biggest popular movement for women's rights in the last several decades (Indian anti-rape protests) in favour of things like misogynistic T-shirts or something equally as trivial by comparison.

You need to take ownership over your own actions.

I'm not sure what your point is.
