I'm a man, and now I will never enter a car dealership without thinking to myself "I need The Dude with me." I've always been fine buying a car, as have all the women I've ever known, but now I will be forever un-fine in an un-The Dude-ed car-buying life.

Diet Dr. Pepper saved my life, and the lives of those around me. I will forever sing it’s praises.

Wait, that exists??? I'm not going to look it up, but now I'm sad to know about it. Maybe if I have another glass of wine I'll forget, and only remember these kids as fun and admirable.

You're correct, at least to say he didn't free anyone from slavery, serfdom, or whatever you want to call the barely-more-than-property status of women in colonial times. He was part of freeing the colonies from oppressive British colonialism, and often that's taught as "freeing the colonies" etc., thereby implying…

"That's it? That's just a Cheerios commercial."

If it's more than a clear joke, i.e. "You're the worst person in Westeros" then those people are dumb.

I did not know that, but as a philosophy student, I like it. I retract my previous comment. Professor Joffrey FTW.

I didn't know that. What does he want to do instead?

I don't feel bad for him, precisely because he's a brilliant actor. I don't think he runs the risk of being type-cast because of his skillz.

It happens, and it doesn't mean that you're necessarily a bigot. I certainly didn't think so. I simply believe that, in the same way that people saying "that's gay" need to consider what they're actually saying, many of the things we say have troubling implied meanings. In other words, the language we use has results…

Resent all you want. You're nonetheless wrong to use homophobic/misogynistic language to insult someone, even if that person is a horrible bigot.

Yes, she is "racist garbage." She's also a homophobic bigot. Ok, she's just generally a bigot.

Being a mom is fucking hard. (It's harder than being a dad, that's for damn sure.)

When speaking with my best-friend's wife about him (whether he's present or not), I refer to him as her man-biscuit. She has taken to it as well. On a grocery/booze run during college, I had bought my fill of soy cheese but he took forever to buy our alcohol (he was the only one of us over 21, and we couldn't be seen…

I think my dog's a racist, too, but her issue is that she favors women of color over everyone else. She's friendly to everyone, but if she sees a woman with dark skin, she'll temporarily ignore anyone else in an effort to become that woman's new best dog-friend. I'm pretty sure this is the result of my…

I do this as well, but it doesn't work as well in winter (I prefer to meet outside the place, because I feel a bit awkward and/or rude going in before my date arrives). This January there were three guys of about the same height outside a restaurant, all wearing black jackets. I came out and made four. I had to text…

Some "suffering" (both men's and women's, but more women's I imagine) is due to patriarchal values, but I think a lot of it is because dating etc. often comes with a lot of disappointment. There are cruel daters of both sexes, and archaic values that mess things up further for everyone, but dating also just sucks when…

"So just take the understanding of social cues that you use on men (the default humans, I know) and then apply it to your interactions with women."
