When I was in high school, I stopped standing to say the pledge of allegiance. I was never punished for it. It's not like it's making kids more patriotic to pledge to the damn flag everyday. What's the point?

Ahh, a changed mind! Although I don't know you personally, I do very much appreciate the rarity of that disclosure! Thank you for continuing to reply and for being open-minded about this whole thing.

This girl is extraordinary. She truly stands against all odds. We need more people, who are brave with big hearts and powerful voices, like Malala.

You're assuming that I want women to "win" the so-called Sweepstakes of Suffering. That is not the ultimate goal here.

It's not a matter of victimization.

I think everyone following Christianity is confused.

YES. Waitstaff should be paid at least minimum wage, and tipping should be optional for the customer. Serving is one of the most stressful and frustrating jobs because your livelihood is totally dependent on shitty tips from the assholes of the world.

Thank you for replying!

I never suggested that we shouldn't worry about boys' mental health. I was simply saying that it makes sense for girls to have it worse than boys, generally speaking. I disagree in the notion that both "groups" are treated "so off-the-charts bad" seeing as how males are typically considered the default human, and…

Women are the receiving end of the worst in general because history has and continues to oppress them.

There are detrimental standards for boys, yes. But the pressures/standards boys face are not nearly as harmful to their psychological health, self-worth, place in society, etc. as the pressures and standards girls face. Also, boys are not subject to being sexually objectified, harassed, raped, and victims of human/sex…

So, it's acceptable now for bishops to be gay and get divorced...but female bishops are still widely unaccepted. Huh.

Puberty and hormonal changes have occurred in us since forever. This study is not reflecting the effects of boy hormones vs girl hormones because we already know what that shit does. This study is comparing the overall happiness of today's youth based on current societal pressures, standards and technology.

We like to apply old sexist traditions with every sport here in the US.

Why the hell do we need cheerleaders, anyway? All they are there for is to be sexually objectified eye candy for hetero dudes. Let's just get rid of cheerleaders.

Seeing as how porn is basically just legal prostitution, I don't blame Chase for not wanting to accept people's money that they earned either by selling their bodies for sex, or filming people selling their bodies for sex. People need to stop putting a price on their bodies and other peoples' bodies.

That's not Jesus. It's Jerry Garcia.

I feel ya! Worked in retail stores and restaurants for years, many days I wouldn't sit for at least 8 hours (in addition to having scoliosis.)

Wow, BBC sure does love the pedos.
