Yeah, I can't imagine what this means to people with fertility issues. :/ Many people don't have that kind of time to wait.

I trust Jonathan with everything.

I don’t care about them, but I care about their poor children who have no control in the matter.

One could probably make a moral argument for wearing rabbit fur, given that rabbit meat is commonly eaten by lots of people, and the fur might as well be put to use, given that the rabbit sure ain’t using it anymore. But how many times have you eaten mink? Or chinchilla? Or sable? Or pine marten?

That’s the one. I’ve seen conflicting reports on the vaccination rates at the temple school across Barrington, but the latest data suggest that only 80% of kindergartens are up to date on all vaccines. That's enough for me to put off buying cereal until after the kids have gone to bed.

That’s exactly what they are, a pretty choking hazard.

THIS. I had the MMR vaccine as a kid and then again as an adult because when I was preparing to try to conceive, tests showed I hadn’t developed an immunity to rubella, aka German measles, which can cause serious problems for the baby if you get it when you’re pregnant. After the second vaccination, they tested me…

My husband wanted to do an alternative vaccine schedule (where we do all the shots, but maybe not getting four in one visit) and I was THRILLED when our pediatrician and every pediatrician we interviewed told us no. They would do vaccines and on schedule and if we didn't like it, we could find another doctor. Luckily,…

My pregnant SIL in law in Marin County was anti-vaccine, until her niece, whom she lives with, was diagnosed with whooping cough. She changed her tune real quick after that.

Enh, I think there are shades between “I like Thai and my friend like Japanese” and “I vaccinate, but my friend believes in putting her kids and everyone they come in contact with at risk of potentially deadly diseases”.

You’re not wrong. That said, science isnt the answer, because if it was, people wouldnt think this way. Education isnt either - people obviously dont listen. The only thing that seems to work is social pressure, which rarely looks like being nice. People tend to ignore the advice of their friends until it starts to…

No, she is friends with people who are willing to let OTHER people’s children die.

To put it rather nastily - you’re friends with people who are willing to let their children die because of their beliefs. Get new friends.

Well I do believe kids need to build their immune system. This can be achieved by playing in dirt, being sick from time to time, but vaccines are there to help. If I have kids, I will vaccinate. Sorry, you can't build an immunity to polio.

Why would implicit bias have to be an explicit conspiracy carried out by a “sexist cabal” in order to be a part of the show’s production? There’s plenty of evidence for the power of gender bias to shape our decisions, whether we’re aware of it or not. How we decide who and what is innovative, and what personalities…

There is clearly nothing I can say to inform you about the casting process in television. It’s based on my experience in the industry for over a decade, but that’s not good enough. You seem hell bent on making the argument that women are just not bringing forth these businesses and ideas even though there are…

Mr. Wonderful is a total asshole, but he’s often the one that calls out that kind of bullshit. I think it’s his general lack of empathy that actually makes him more perceptive to it, in all honesty. He isn’t moved by sympathetic packaging, he just looks at the labor in a very point-blank way. And so if it seems like…

And I'm sure that's a representative example of women in business and not a casting decision AT ALL.

I was just as tired and grumpy as the 22 year olds.

Great observation. I have owned my agency for almost 30 year. (I am a woman) I have seen a change to be more equitable for a career. With consolidation and the Internet..I have had to hire and train the best. The agents are not the order takers of the 80’s and 90’s, but very intelligent hard working people. Many have…
