I'm a Marylander and I vote for Barbara Mikulski every time she's up for election. I'm pretty sure I'll vote for her as long as she's running. She votes the right way.

Is it possible these drugs are marketed overwhelmingly to women because drug manufacturers and marketers have found women are more likely to respond to these ads? And if so, why is that?

Tons of pro and amateur athletes are upright people.

Apart from my day job, I also write about sports and talk about it on local TV. I've gotten to meet tons of pro athletes and virtually all of them are remarkably normal human beings on the inside, even if they look like glandular freaks to the naked eye. I've had the opportunity to speak with Robert Griffin III and…

I look forward to the Jezebel. article decrying the obsession with celebrities and the infantilization of society that it represents.

I like, but I have a feeling I'd laugh even louder if I knew what CIS means. I'm presuming it is not a reference to a lame, shoulda-been-cancelled-a-long-time-ago forensics drama on CBS.

That explains all the references to the forward pass as "an opiate of the masses."

Never wrote that misogyny is absent in sports. You constructed a straw man argument because you found my argument impossible to debate. Learn more about honest debating and try again later.

Nah, never wrote that and you know it. Construction of straw man arguments is a clear signal of defeat. Now, that you've acknowledged your defeat, you must strive to understand why this happened. Best of luck in that endeavor. P.S. Don't weep for me winner, shithead. It's bad form.
