You know what? I thought Magic Mike XXL was incredibly respectul of women and it was clear that this was part of what they were trying to do. The dudes were all super sweet and they made a point of including women of shades, shapes and sizes in the scenes and dances. I really appreciated that and it seemed a big…

Do not jump out the window, push her.

Thank you for your incredible energy and careful articulation of why ‘tell women not to get so drunk’ is a trope that just needs to be put to rest. I am a huge critic of binge drinking culture (to the extent that I went to a women’s college to avoid it) but binge drinking itself does not have a rapacious penis looking…

Beautifully put.

I hear you. I am not a huge fan of going beyond two steps on any given stepladder.

You can visit without going anywhere near the edges (as I did when visiting at 11 years old). It’s an awesome experience, just stay about 25 feet back :)

I get vertigo just from looking at that photo.

I love your recommendations in point 1. Those tiny dots on my nose will finally be eradicated, thank you!!!

It’s disingenuous to pretend that your habits are not influenced by your culture. I grew up in the 80s and it never occurred to me to remove my bush until the advent of porn and Sex in the City which made waxing mainstream. You may also wear makeup, certain brands of clothing or maintain other habits which may be fun…

I was squicked that they replaced one ‘mysterious ethnic person with noble properties’ with another (Sembene for Kaetenay) from seasons 2 to 2.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I did not love this last season but Vanessa Ives will live on in my heart. Also, Vanessa and Ethan in tartan on the misty moors forever!!!

Then you are putting your future leadership in the hands of everyone else. It’s the ultimate cop-out.

The time for idealist votes were the early part of the primaries, which have now passed. If a candidate can’t appeal to enough people, no matter how ‘good’ they are, they can’t lead in a democratic country. Especially in a two-party system, it is foolish to cast away your vote to someone with no realistic chance.…

I was wondering what happened to Ghost. He wasn’t in the episode at all, was he?

Your thoughts are well articulated but totally off the mark. This person was substantially under sentenced for a crime that is gravely under prosecuted and under-reported and for which there is a tremendous risk of recidivism. The situation is made worse by the fact that this criminal enjoyed every privilege that…

I love the Brienne, Tormund, Jamie triangle. Jamie totally has the feels for her and she was looking at him with some yearning eyes as well. I’m afraid we might be in a Pretty in Pink situation with Tormund being Ducky to Jamie’ s Blane.

The transition from ‘tribute to one of the greatest figures of our times’ to the next post being someone mooning the camera was pretty rough. Gawker did an article and that could just have been shared.

Your neighbor was a genius.

He was lucky to get her the first time.

It was drilled into you to do research by others for whom that was a priority. So in a way, you were as highly influenced by your environment as the author, it’s just you were given better tools. But if you were into field hockey instead of the debate team, your parents didn’t prioritize substantiating viewpoints,…
