How is it possible to not own a cell phone? Seriously? And as a mom with three kids... how do people get in touch with her on the go? And how does she pass the time when waiting in line at Starbucks if not by playing Words with Friends? Oh, I guess having personal assistants follow you around and do things for you…

Ah, sorry, I missed that. I assumed he had an existing contract and is playing right now (and or will be next season) for Washington. Hopefully someone picks him up on free agency for next season and this does become more revolutionary than it may be if he doesn't (I see how you draw the clear corrollary to the…

Because he is still actively playing in the league? And in locker rooms and on the team? And that will force a whole lot of active dialogue amongst players, coaches and management where before there's been little?

"Clearly, Russian prisons are a place of compassion."

When and why did we stop making decent romantic comedies? Remember the 80s/90s, how many good ones there were, making the career of people like Meg Ryan and Sandra Bullock. Are women just not mighty enough as an economic force, compared to teenagers and young men? Or does this speak to a larger cultural issue where…

"A book called Where Do You Come From? [shows] multiple cartoons of a couple named Lisa and Lars (get it? They're German) feature Lars's erect cartoon penis, with one cartoon depicting a blushing Lisa sliding a green condom over Lars's Zuckerstange."

+1,000,000. Exactly my thought, but said much more eloquently and less snarkily than I would have.

Can anyone name a major religion that isn't, at its core, hugely misogynistic?

Co-signed. Was about to write the same thing, and you beat me to it. What exactly in that story are we supposed to admire? Certainly not the proposed violence or the raging anti-men sentiment? Seriously, Anna, WTF?

Yeah, but that ones that "matter" do. Let's not be naive about major religions. They all hate women and they all retard society. Tell me I am wrong?

Great mom. Like mine. I am sorry for what she went through because I am SURE it was the result of inadequate education on women's rights, inadequate access to easy and cheap abortions (mine was paid for by my company- at the time ('00) was a Swedish organization-yay!) and forced shame by society. You both are strong…

Don't feel cowardly! It's okay. You have been taught to feel that way by this culture. The judgment is ALL religion based, and those people adhere to a book that was written 2000 years ago when they basically hated and disparaged women. Nothing you did is deserving of judgment. The ONLY reason you feel that way is…

Thanks for sharing. I am kinda hoping that's what this post turns into- an open dialogue from the no regrets crowd. I too occasionally idly imagine how things would have been different, what it would be like, in the same way I sometimes idly wonder about how my life would be different if I'd never gone to London for 2…

I'd probably transpose your final thought ("where there's misogyny, there's poor grammar), but yeah.

Semi-related, but I think the pro-choice movement could only be helped by women who have had abortions and do not regret them for a second get out from behind the veil of implied "shame" and speak out. I had an abortion at 25 with my long-term boyfriend after my birth control failed. It was not a hard decision or a…

I'd love to hear from his parents and his religious leaders (of whatever perverted sect of "Christianity" this fucker hails from). Those near and dear to him need to either shame him and repudiate his views.... or stand up and be held accountable for his hate speech.

I mistakenly thought it might lead to an interesting point so I plowed through, even as the overwhelming ennui was setting in and darkening my gaze. I was wrong.

Probably because it still thinks it should have a primary place in dictating our societies' laws, which then directly infringe upon my and my body's freedom.

Trust me when I say I would have said what I said whether the author's conclusion was Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, or the worship of trees or Isadora Duncan (h/t Annie Savoy in Bull Durham). I don't have a ton of kind things to say about any religion whose "moral" codes of behavior have been proscribed by ancient…

+1,000,000 and a hearty LOL. Thanks.
