Poison Ivy is the seducer, but she does it via pheromones. She could be in a full length burka and be as effective. She’s really more sensual than sexy, being more of a classic ‘20s femme fatale.

Poison Ivy’s primary approach in comics hasn’t been the seductress for years now.

She was already a seductress in other media wearing far more and her seduction is via pheromones, so she can be wearing literally anything and still be a seductress as written. There is no reason for her to get even more skimpy other than male gaze.

Yeah, and it’ s doubly weird because by the time City came out, DC had already started giving Ivy a full-body jumpsuit. I get that Ivy’s a character who can literally weaponize her sexuality, but at no point is that a thing she does in the games. 

Did you actually just imply that the use (and abuse) of the hyper-sexualized female character in video games is not widely seen as problematic? And thus it is quite common to not see this complaint is at all “absurd”.

So, two things about the first letter. First:

Yeah, I don’t know what the ethics of an advice columnist are, but I feel like Dan should have been a bit more blunt on that one.

I realize that the answer to “How can I get this unfaithful and dishonest coworker out of his marriage without making him uncomfortable or jeopardizing our totally long-lasting and mutual…

OTHER seems to be both keenly aware of what is happening, and delusional in thinking it could possibly end well for her. This should be a huge red flag:

Holy shit, you met Donald Trump!

One time a (middle-aged) guy hit on me at a bar with the opening line, “wow, you look exactly like my daughter” and then followed it up with “can I buy you a drink?  Want to come up to my hotel room?”

FYI: Any time you imply that people can’t reach a certain level of misguidedness, stupidity, or meanness, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. 

I think it’s hard to think of any degree of delusional “dickful thinking”, as Savage puts it, that guys wouldn’t actually do. Like, when we were just out of college, my sister (who still looks a lot younger than she is) told me that when she’d go out to bars, there was always at least one guy who’d start out telling…

Ha!  How many dudes do you know?  I’d wager 20% of them think their dick could end wars and famine and could equally sway a lesbian.

We breeder boys have had Hot Lesbian Acquaintance or Friend as a white whale for time immemorial. Come on now. It’s testosterone’s side effect of superiority-complex hormones plus destructive man-splaining all in one. Source: My dumb ass 15 years ago for losing an incredible friend by convincing myself that I indeed…

They totally were. SO MANY guys think they have a magic dick. Or a magic duck, which is what I typed first, and which is honestly more likely to appeal to a lesbian.

There are people in the history of America who deserve to be lionized and have their stories told for decades and centuries to come. John Lewis has been one of them since he was young, but kept up his incredible work and advocacy for further decades.
There is a long tradition in America of those who gain rights…

Correcting the record here.

Turns out A) Kemp can call a special election to finish this term, although why we would go to the trouble for such a short amount of time I don’t know.

B) Turns out Democrats have until Monday to replace his name on the ballot.

He was not running unopposed.

Governors don’t appoint vacancies for the House,  just the Senate.  And John Lewis won his primary for the 6th district, so he’ll be on the ballot, and win one last time. Then we’ll have a special election to fill the seat, because nobody can replace him.
