Huh... I honestly didn't read slut-shaming into your comments. Not everyone can read sarcasm, even when aimed at an obvious target like the quality of broadcast news. Fortunately, I admire sarcasm and hate network TV so I got your point.

A news anchor getting titillated breaks that fourth-wall, you know? The news program and the viewing audience need that nice wall of plausible deniability to keep the titillation pleasantly guilt-free. If the anchor starts perving, we feel like pervs too. It is his obligation to keep his boner quiet, so we can enjoy…

And this is why the former high school wrestlers always win at my local gym when they have their yearly "Biggest Loser" contest. You buggers know how to stack on weight and quickly drop it better than anyone out there.

I agree that "tard" and it's derivatives absolutely are terms that don't get enough pushback. That being said, I just don't understand the utility of knee jerk rushes to judgment. I don't see how this kind of judgment and anonymous disdain helps change hearts and minds.

So you are ready to dismiss a very talented, creative, thought provoking young person just because she uses one offensive word? She escaped an abusive household under the control of a religious cult and is making her way in this hypercritical world with just a scant few years of full social immersion. She is young. I…

I feel you on the hands... though if I have to point to any one part of the human body that really grabs me it is the wrists (pun free of charge, btw)

I get that hashtag activism is a reprehensible habit of a certain set of privileged asshats who never follow up their words with deeds. I feel you on that, 100%

It is not a martyr complex that brings stories like these out of the woodwork. It is righteous anger.

Baseball? No thanks. I'll just stay drunk for the next three months. It is kinda all the same to me at this point

Fuck James Joyce. This comment is my new Ulysses.

I got drunk watching Orange is the New Black then ate man and cheese. I have no heartburn. There is no heart left in my chest since the hockey season ended.

WTF? Are you for real? Or are you a troll tragically without a bridge to call home?

We all take things for granted: the continued ability to breathe, drink clean water, and log onto a worldwide telecommunication system to vent our opinions where anyone can read them.

Why attack my comment - an expression of pure love…

And why is it that the bat shit ones also like to be the loudest people in the room? Crazy people used to have to stand on street corners in order to bug the rest of us. Now all they need is a cell phone. #getoffmydigitallawn

Propaganda and profit. Don't forget the bottom line.

Simple. A movement shouldn't have to own the ramblings of people who violate the basic tenants of that movement while still trying to claim the title. To call for discrimination against men is in direct opposition to the principles of equality and humanism underlying feminist thought. A movement is responsible for…

Any suggestions of who to follow? I signed up for twitter, was horrified by the chaos and commercialism and never went back. But reading your post makes me want to give it another shot...

It is a weird phrase. Whatever happened to "I'm going to be a dad!" type of announcements? A dad is an awesome thing to be, why not celebrate that?

*Feminists with Amazing Dad Fistbump*

Reading your post makes me want to call up my dad right now even though I know he is fast asleep. My dad built me up in such similar ways — always willing to listen, debate, and challenge me. He always insisted I value respect - respect for self and others. My mom taught me a lot…

My grandmother baptized me in the sink. Actually she did it three times because she wasn't sure it would stick. I am a proud Kitchen Sink Catholic to this day.

Well we do teach kids that a boy who teases a girl just is a schoolyard crush. Some men then graduate from pigtail pulling to the adult dating world without growing up and accepting that any attention is good attention.
