He did actually say that 47% of Americans refuse to take responsibility for their own lives and mocked the idea that anyone is "entitled" to not starve in the streets of our great and wealthy nation. I get what you're saying, but it wasn't the idea that he's not going after the votes of people he sees as giving him a…

Next thing you know, the Evangelicals are going to use this data to legislate crazy dress codes for school and jail time for teens who have sex.

Pro forced birth.

Yeah, it's funny how that has become the go to example for frivolous lawsuits even though it was legit. You can't be blamed for not knowing the details, because they weren't as widely reported as the idea that it was just a lady spilling normal hot coffee on herself.

Yay! Everyone is different, but when you can make enough milk for 3 babies and you only have 1, donating is great. With my 2nd baby I seemed to only be able to pump enough to cover the time I spent at work, but with the 1st I produced like crazy. I had plenty in the freezer, plenty for the baby and so much more, and…

word.

You do actually strike me as a wee bit uptight, but you have a right to your reaction.

No! Sorry. I work with kids and it drives me nuts trying to keep it straight, less because I don't like any particular spelling but because it's hard to remember which is which and kids really care if you get their name wrong. Interesting to know that Kathryn is an old spelling. I think the two n variation is newer.

I don't know how new it is. I actually have a friend named Trustin, and we are 35 years old. Had a friend named Ryah, which her parents made up, and I actually thought was beautiful and suited her well. Often it can be horrid, and I talked my sister off an awful idea for a baby name a while ago. I agree it is getting…

Probably not, but I have 2 boys and I'm doing my part! Pretty sure I'm not alone either, so maybe in a generation or so we will start to see a shift. One can hope anyway. I know that a crucial part of my sons' sex ed from parents will be on the nature of consent, and on standing up to bro culture. Like, my husband I…

I always say that yes, we should be teaching girls/women situational awareness and how to look out for themselves. The problem is that that seems to be absolutely all anyone wants to do. There needs to be some balance.

Semantics are important, and subtle shifts in language can go a long way towards defining thought.

I thought that too. He runs a school for girls, and is so proud of her that I'm tearing up again just thinking about him. Damn. Just when I stopped crying out of happiness that she is not brain-damaged.

Not just you. That one just seemed like "hey, your domestic staff are actual people, and this tragedy makes me think about how we should all be making sure they know they have our support" I have no problem with it.

No, I think you're right. I was thinking about it more, and pretty much agree with you. I didn't mean "not in a ridiculous way" but specifically "not a ridiculous SARAH PALIN way" I do see a difference in the way they handle sexism , though they both try to leverage it for their own purposes. It is probably damage…

No, I think if you read my comment again, you'll see that I don't fully buy into it. I just think it's interesting and wanted to spark some discussion about it. I haven't been through twitchy a lot because I just can't stand it, but I'm glad you did so you could give me some more information! I mean that sincerely. I…

Leeway, no. I just find it interesting I guess. I'm not really drawing conclusions yet.

If you consent to me expressing my affection towards you I will tell you that I now love you.

So, I know no Michelle Malkin tweets were shown, but while we're talking the unholy alliance of Coulter/Trump, I have something to say about Malkin and her recent calling out of those two: She has said a lot of shitty things, some of them racist, but something I appreciate her is the way she has pointed out the sexism…

Guys, it's always been zero days. The only meaningful count is "days since they said that shit in public"
