I think your anger is clouding your logic. All the author is saying is that Landon Donovan is not actually the "all-time U.S. leading goal scorer" because there are U.S. women who have scored more goals than he has. It is more accurate to say that he is the all-time U.S. leading men's goal scorer. Why should it be so…

"I beg your forgiveness, too, for the sins of omission on the part of church leaders who did not respond adequately" to reports of sex abuse, the pope said.

It seems like it would be easier to forgive if the church didn't persist in refusing to take responsibility for the abuse. If by "sins of omission" he actually…

This is unfair because it's harder for men to shave than it is for women not to shave. I think everyone should be given easy credits for university courses, because who gives a shit about university credits actually reflecting something as trivial as academic achievement, anyway?

Edited because my comment posted twice.

The voice of reason - thank you. It amazes me that people are so resistant to seeing that this is fake. Yet, a little while ago there was general indignation in the comments around photos of fake ballet dancers. I'm not sure if it's because people are generally more knowledgeable about dancing, or there's more respect…

My point was more about logic than content. So I was responding to someone who thinks that a quote saying that "most" women are innocent victims can be contradicted by the fact that 2-3 of them are not. But I actually agree with you: "painful but touching character flaws" don't absolve anyone from being guilty, so I…

Read the quote again - it says they are often innocent victims, which isn't contradicted by the 2-3 women on the show who are not.

People go on Reddit because it's an open forum, and sure, they can claim to be whatever they want to give their opinions more weight. But why would anyone join a forum that's specifically intended for people who play one particular musical instrument if they weren't well-versed enough on it to actually have an…

Actually, they are - it's a saxophone forum and the comments seem to be by saxophone players who sound like they actually know what they're talking about. And if you look closely, you'll see that the movement of her fingers doesn't correspond with when the notes change.

Both of his main points are right there in his opening statement that you quoted: (1) men are barely represented (which you referred to as his "entire" point); and (2) men are inadequately represented.

His entire complain is there aren't enough men on a show about a women's prison. That's his entire point."
That's actually not his entire point. A large chunk of the article is devoted to critiquing how men on the show are represented: "According to Orange Is the New Black, though, men in prison are "super-predators"…

Why would she not use the same gimmick throughout her entire tour? Here's a thread about the video you posted, critiqued by people who should know: http://forum.saxontheweb.net/showthread.php…

I call bullshit. It doesn't look like she was actually playing.

Negativity in random posts doesn't have the same effect as negativity directed at a specific person. The discussion is about the former, while you have just demonstrated the latter. You have taken one piece of data derived from the latter and mistakenly applied it to the former. It's perfectly normal for people to…

That's probably a good policy. I learned the hard way, years ago, that telling an insecure boss I had once been a Mensa member caused me all kinds of headaches. I had naively thought it would be good for my career if he knew, but it had the opposite effect.

I unfollow those people! If they're actually good friends I'll look at their profiles once a week or so. That way I still get to keep up with them without allowing their obsessive posting to obscure all the other stuff I want to see.

The big logical leap in this study's conclusion is assuming emotional expression to be indicative of actual emotional states. It's entirely possible that people express more of whatever emotion they perceive in others without their actual emotional state being affected at all. The study authors claim that mimicry…

Yup, I completely agree with all of that. They definitely messed up by allowing her to compete in the first place when she didn't meet the age requirement specified in their rules.

I was once told that even whole wheat bread isn't ideal - much better to eat unprocessed whole grains like brown rice, quinoa and oatmeal made from steel-cut oats.

Now closed for comments. Amazing what can happen when you challenge Jezebel's beloved mascot.
