Sorry this has nothing to do with the story, but I have to say how relieved I was to see the order of comments in Jez have not morphed into the fucked up monstrosity going on at Gawker right now. Please don't switch, that nonsense is so horrible that I can't even bring myself to comment on something over there to say…

Shhh... no one tell the Obama birther nutjobs about this, ok? Next thing we know, they'll be accusing the Dems of going back in time and changing things.

Did they get any corresponding data on the women to say what kind of women don't feel the "war" exists? We're they older, married, religious types? (or any combination of) Because we all know you don't oppress half the population without its consent, whether that consent is through silent acceptance or an active…

How messed up is it that a part of me is like, "Well, if things get tight, this doesn't sound too bad." Seriously. Looking at the likelihood of going into old age alone, my current retirement plan is to take up very dangerous hobbies and hope for a sudden and surprise death before I get too mentally gone to be unable…

I dunno. There's sound, but I don't hear any piggy squealing. So, maybe it's not in distress?

I seriously question any advice given by people who have chosen to opt out of the basic fundamentals of being human, i.e. sex and reproduction. Well, you know, OPENLY having these things as part of their personal lives, at least. Much like discussions on politics and government, if you don't vote, I don't want to hear…

My father's a decent person. He's never been abusive, dismissive, or done less than his utmost best to provide for his family. That said, he really believes that the man is the god-blessed head of the household. When I ask him why there has to be a head of the house, or of a marriage, he gets very confused. I asked,…

There's a short story along those lines that was written recently. ...abd wow, it was easy to find. I thought it would be harder.

Heh, save the colons! Don't kill the prostates! That cancer had a life!

Of course. Because then, you know, there's "circumstances," which clearly don't exist for all those other willy-nilly baby killers.

No, see, we've got all these unemployment figures, but if you take women out of the workforce and keep them at home, PRESTO! Look at all the jobs available! This is the secret GOP plan for the economy.

Wait, wait, we get to CHOOSE which GOPers have control?? Sign me up!

I'll second Gregory Peck in Roman Holiday. Not sure about Broadcast News. I know it and love it, but I'm not gonna say they changed her much. She was on that path on her own, I think.

I'm in yur gene pool, contaminating yur dudes...

There's been A LOT of early voting going on, too. It's frustrating to me, because I can't tell if that's a good thing or not. In my county local elections, it's easy to tell who the early voting is in favor of, because they're all driven to the BoE office by the same people, who the local director of elections always…

Agreed. Best holder of a byline at Jez. Why? Because every time I think, "This is a great article, I wonder who wrote it?" I look up and there's her name. I can't name any other bylines. (Sorry, the rest of you. I'm sure you're also good, but, well... like I said. )

Oh, the lolz. I'm at the point now where I want to ask these people what's so great about burning easily in the sun, cause that's all it is. We've got idiots and geniuses, whores and madonnas, thieves and philanthropists, etc., in all shapes, colors and languages. The outside wrapping doesn't seem to have an effect. …

" ... to fuck them." Pretty much sums up both sides of their strategy, no? I can see future campaign buttons that just say "Fuck Women" going over well. For the men, at least.

It's a joke, from the movie PCU. There's an elite white kid fraternity, they ask about being "mayflower material"... "Huh?" ... "It's a boat, apparently you're family wasn't on it." or something along those lines.

4) PROFIT!
