I think this hits on something. The only real life example I have, is I was taking a Western Film class (signed up by mistake and was a stupid Freshman who didn't realize you can drop classes). Anyway, the class was 90% dudes and the prof was a sexist old man and he showed us two Clint Eastwood western film clips:…

what other important, commendable ideas are also terrible?

Yeah, not proud of this, but when I first heard about Ashely Madison I thought it was horrible and set up a fake account with fake email so cheaters might waste time and money contacting me. However, I would go on it sometimes to just laugh at the messages with my friends (I was about 19 and in college). Anyway,…

All I can say is, most people have no FUCKING idea how badly some of us need to hear things like that from other successful men. I can't really explain it very well. When you hear things like this it makes it okay to not hate yourself for not feeling like you measure up to whatever the hell it is a man is supposed…

Okay, sorry for losing my rag too. It builds up through reading post after post over years, and I was having a thin-skinned moment. I don't know if you're in the UK or not, but the rich don't build hospitals and schools here anymore - not for the general public, anyway, only for those who can afford to use them.

Jesus wept, do you think I'm defending that shit? No am I not! I grew up in one of the poorest towns in the entire UK, in the Welsh Valleys. My grandma was one of those maids you watch in Downton. I work as a cleaner now. How I fucking love it when people on here presume to educate me about the lives of poor people.

Slavery was over before the Victorian era, and he was talking about the early 1900s (after the Victorian era). That's a time when there genuinely was a duty of care for the mega-rich, because there was no state welfare. The wealthy built hospitals, created charities and so on. They also built workhouses and some other…

The fact that someone conceived of the idea for this chair, manufactured it, and then found a buyer is morally repugnant.

Have you guys been paying attention to the Ani DiFranco flap on Twitter? It's just...ugh.

Has anyone else read or at least heard about the book: The Sports Gene: Inside the Science of Extraordinary Athletic Performance ? It has a really 'interesting' chapter on why men are better athletes than women and I found it beyond bothersome. I was a collegiate athlete, and I feel perfectly comfortable talking…

"Oh My!" It reminds me of the Target lingerie line. But I'll share this to make it all better:

A gun can accidentally go off and hit someone in the face. That is possible. What it can't do is mistake a girl for an intruder and then accidentally go off.

You are so right. Did the "shotgun discharge accidentally" or did the "homeowner mistakenly shoot her in the face" ? These facts ARE mutually exclusive.

I really like the part where a parent drinking with their underraged kid is inappropriate, but being ok with your daughter whoring herself out is progressive. I'm all sex positive and all, but jesus fucking christ

Internet tells me KW=$100mill, KK=$40mill. It's amazing she can be worth that much given she has no discernible talent.

A puppy-saving fireman is now my gold star boyfriend standard. Good luck, every other man in the world.

Please oh please tell me that the gift shop sells a ham costume.

Oh, Niles...

NOT JUST YOU! I have to know this secret!! Speaking of, did we ever find out what happened at Taylor's wedding?!
