As it should be. I'm glad when my parents got divorced they decided on shared custody, which in practice meant I lived with my mother during the week and spent alternate weekends and holidays with my dad. Everyone was happy with this arrangement.

I've said nothing hateful about men. On the contrary, I said I loved them. Now who's "full of assumptions"?

Oh, the post on Gawker where I said I love men? Or the post where I defended PAX against an evil feminazi? Is that the one you mean?

And you're not so good at reading. There's an assumption that it's logical to make, knowing the statistics and context of the case, and an assumption that it's not logical to make. Making the logical assumption doesn't really qualify as being "full of assumptions".

No, knowing that numbers indicate that fathers who seek custody win it >50% of the time obviously means that I can't assume that these fathers are definitely happy with their level of access. It does mean, however, that I can assume that they probably are. Especially considering that at least one has stated that he is…

"Mothers always get custody" is a common MRA talking point, but if you look at the data about cases where fathers actually seek custody, the numbers are pretty equal. I'm willing to bet the fathers are perfectly happy with their level of access.

I invite you to check out my other comments, if you're seriously questioning my "credentials" as a feminist, but honestly, you can pretty much fuck off. I spent most of yesterday attacking MRAs on Gawker, and now to be told I'm "using crap MRA reasoning" (which you don't deign to define, of course) beggars belief.

As a woman — as a feminist — I trust my own perspective. We're not a homogeneous mass who all share one view.

So don't praise them. But it's definitely not necessary to write a reductive, mean-spirited article about what assholes they are for making this small and clumsy step in the right direction.

That's my reading too. I usually roll my eyes when Jez is accused of manufacturing outrage, but in this case I think the accusation is justified.

This year's con was pretty inclusive.

I get that some gestures are empty, but it really seems that some of the writers on this site are determined to see the worst in everyone. This article is mean-spirited. The "Diversity Lounge" is a bit ham-fisted but it's definitely a step in the right direction — and as you note, they really seem to be making an…

He's definitely my favourite Pokemon. Even with all the new ones.

Ooh, scary! Should be animated though. Maybe holding a still-beating human heart.

Good. You annoy me, too!

OK, thanks! And "whatever" back to you too.

Good for you. Like I said, I didn't look too closely, much less take the time to compare them side-by-side with another picture. I just thought "wish I had muscles".

You know, sometimes pictures don't paint a thousand words, even animated ones. Not sure what your problem with me is. Is it that I like Beyonce? Is is that I don't want to automatically write off all criticism as her as racist? Is it that I don't use enough animated gifs?

They didn't look fake to me — I didn't look too hard, though. I think she looks great. Don't dancers usually have muscles?

And there goes any attempt to discuss an issue like reasonable people.
