Does he think we get automatic paid maternity leave in the US? Because I don't get this logic at all:

I want a detailed examination of his "case studies", which may very well be...confessions of rape?

I'm having a hard time reading you. I don't know what you mean by "it's ironic" — are you saying the app is ironic (if so, again, I don't understand what about the app is ironic), or do you mean your initial statement was sarcastic?

I appreciate the responses. I do know that already; I was just trying to write a list of things the GOP would like to whitewash out of our collective history.

Sorry, it's been an exhausting day and I'm not going to read this in detail tonight. I do know the complexities of the Civil War, I was just trying to write a quick and dirty summary of all the problems I have with the GOP's educational reforms.

You're right, the app description does have one sentence targeted specifically at sexism against women. I guess I still don't understand the point of your initial comment.

In the text of this article, which sentence exactly do you feel applies only to women and not men?

This ad rubs me the wrong way! I'm going to buy a similar product from a different company instead! ADVERTISING ACCOMPLISHED! #AlienatingPotentialCustomersIsStupid

If they had their way, spaying us would be the last thing on their minds.

Don't forget education is only great if the Founding Fathers wanted everyone to be Christian, the Civil War wasn't about slavery, and evolution and climate change are theories. Otherwise we're living in Hitler's Germany and indoctrinating our children with liberal propaganda.

I'm firmly of the belief that Republicans rarely feel wronged by or see flaws in the people they love, so they're incredibly forgiving and generous within that circle and suspicious of people beyond it. Meanwhile, most Democrats I know have experienced more, shall we say, imperfections within their inner circle, so…

It's not that great. The part where he treats you like a girlfriend is nice, because it's nice to have people be nice to you. The sucky part is where you go from being someone's friend to essentially being their ex-girlfriend with absolutely no warning.

I think you latched onto aspects of the article that weren't the main point, and in so doing, missed a large portion of the main point. I'm writing this in the spirit of "frank expression of feelings and sharing of useful insights" for which you petitioned. That said:

What are you going to include in the "tell us a little about yourself" section of the application? That's the most confusing part of this for me - I doubt they actually care about the girl, but it's so vague I can't tell what they're really trying to find out. "I love pandas, kayaking, and anal penetration"? "I…

I'm trying to imagine this concept with the genders reversed, and just...ew, no, you're going to have to soak that tongue in Listerine overnight first.

Ouch, that's uncomfortable. It may help to say something like, "I believe you're a good person and I believe you don't want to be racist. But if you truly mean that, then you have to be ready to acknowledge when you're doing something wrong and reevaluate that behavior." If you know enough about blackface to give her…

We have no idea what we're doing as a nation when it comes to educating our children. Memorizing the Bill of Rights is not the same as developing the critical thinking skills to interpret it.

I went to WashU, where TKE was the nerdy frat and possibly the only one whose parties felt safe in an unqualified, don't-even-give-it-a-thought kind of way. I did a double take when I saw that it was TKE who threw this party. I hope ASU's chapter is the outlier among TKEs, and that most of them are closer to what you…

Fair point. I think that's almost always the case, though, right? It's easier to give advice than take it, first cast the beam out of thy own eye, etc. Maybe looking abroad is a good first step to then turning our gaze inward.

I (and many others) agree that America's prison system in general is despicable. Still, there are too many differences for this comparison to really work. This is more the equivalent of showing up to court to pay a parking ticket, not having any cash on hand, and being raped right there in the court room, by the jury,…
