This man is everything I ever wanted figure skating to be and always wondered why it wasn't.

We tap dancers are better than the Olympics.

Yeah, last time the Olympics were in China. I don't recall anyone holding China's feet to the fire over any particular social justice issues. There were some arguments about where and when free speech, but the conversation was certainly not at this level. I don't think Google was getting its word in.

I don't understand why only one officer is in trouble for this.

17 for every 1000 women is a very weird statistic. I assume they mean 17 abortions occurred in 2011, for every 1000 who were alive/adult in 2011? Because in 2012, all those women who had abortions in 2011 will still have had them, and it will still have affected their lives. I guess it shows the "rate" in a…

Question: I was discussing this article with my husband, and he wanted to know how women ever manage to go on any online dates if this is their experience. Specifically, before we were together he went on a ton of online dates, and he wondered how any women had managed to reply to him. I never did online dating so I…

Sorry, dumb question. Where is the built in Mac-zipper? I can unzip no problem but don't know where to find this utility to do the compression side.

"*It's also a great way to make people hate being around you. OH WELL, THOUGH. Oh well. I've long embraced my role as a broken-record Red Ajah nightmare shrew, and if weathering a few tweets of "zzzzzzzzzz" and "UGH, WE GET IT, YOU HATE WHITE PEOPLE" here and there is the price for being even marginally helpful in…

Incredible irony in the article, although the author doesn't stop to point it out directly:

I really love how un-effeminate they are, while doing classically effeminate movement extremely well. It's a wonderful sort of genderbending about what kind of movements are made for whom, and why we might think so. Could it be partly because gender performance is very different in Ukraine? (I have no idea if it is…

It's much like how the only genre in Hollywood to have lots of women is horror movies. If you count vampire demons as women.

Yes, the only genre where the media covers more women than men. Touching.

Trafficking is forced labor. Smuggling is bringing people into the country unlawfully, often with false papers. Exploiting undocumented workers because they have limited rights sometimes takes the form of trafficking, but not necessarily. All these activities are frequently combined. Salons and spas are more known…

Me too. But that doesn't mean it doesn't have an impact at a less direct level. Especially when women get punished for acting too much like the men they grew up observing and assuming they were equal to.

It's really not just the far right, I'm afraid.

Which is obviously why drug companies are in business, to provide research for the world at a financial loss to themselves...

Yeah, what the hell was that?

You know men live alone as adults too. But it seems like domestic how-tos are still all targeted at women.

I've seen this video several times, and it fucking rocks. Every time I see it it makes my day.
