Imagine having to be so perfectly ballanced and symmetrical that sleeping on one side more that your other has an effect. I had to stop sitting with my legs crossed, or standing with my hips to the side. That’s how delicate and in control you have to be. I am obviously no where near GP olympic level.

I suspect equestrian sports are too stereotypically “white” for it be cool to like too much.

Truth. I’m not even a horse person and I know this. Is this a country people thing?

“Look, all you did is command a wild animal to do your bidding with just your thighs. That’s not skillful or athletic!”

Kara needs to step off Dressage. It’s really hard to ballance a 1200lb beast while looking like you are doing nothing. Also, anyone who can watch a freestyle and not cry is a robot.

After his little display of banging on the dock, shouting sieg heil, making a nazi salute, and then singing some kind of fascist song she said ‘We’re all very impressed. Take him down.’ (Take him down meaning take him back to the cells btw) Which is the most dead pan and condescending response possible and makes him…

Riiiight...

What infuriates me the most about this case is not the light sentence or the fact that the judge considered the effect on the defendant of years in jail (I want that kind of concern from judged). Instead, it’s what the prodecutor said; that this would not happen to a similarly-situated, less privileged man. A poor…

If I concede that you may have a point about him being a better politician, could you at least consider conceding the point that the country simply was not going to elect a female president in the 90s? I know you love the idea that “sexist stereotypes can be true,” but this is a couple that always ran on the the idea…

Plenty of men have also gone into politics because their daddy did, but I don’t remember anyone pausing to take a second to acknowledge that G.W. would never have gotten anywhere without H.W.- and that is probably far more true that it is for Clinton. Fuck, she might have been the only person to be held back by being…

• Bill and Hillary Clinton are driving in the country near Hillary’s hometown. They are low on fuel, so Bill stops at a gas station. The man at the gas station comes out and looks into the window.”Hey, Hillary! We used to date in high school, do you remember me?” he asks.They talk merrily for a few minutes. Bill pays,…

No. If she hadn’t married Bill Clinton her life trajectory would have been different, but it’s not as though she wasn’t already political and making big political plans for herself before they married. Other women have become senators and sec. of state without being married to a former president, there’s no reason to…

It might be equally unlikely that he would have been president without her. They support each other’s ambitions and like most couples, drive each other’s destinies.

Men who throw/hit/kick things when they’re angry scare the shit out of me. All I can imagine is being alone in a room with someone like that, and how I would feel if they lost their temper.

I generally agree that it’s frustrating when men begin to embrace feminist ideology through their relationships with women, rather than recognizing women as independent human beings deserving of equal rights irrespective of their relationships to men.

Thank you for your very perceptive post. I know that when my mom died, if I hadn’t actually been with her and seen her dead body, I would have allowed myself to hope against hope that someone made a mistake and that she was still alive, and I would have spent years scanning for her everywhere I went. That’s how hard…

Correction: Yuko is the name of the missing person. Yasuo is the name of her husband.

I read things like this and it makes me ponder the whole concept of love. Like it is a complete mystery to me that we spend our lives seeking out these attachments clinging to the hope that they aren’t ripped away from us in a senseless tragedy. I love Chalupa Batman so much and I get into these sad cycles sometimes…

There’s something profoundly different about the grief you experience when you lose a loved one to a completely non-man related incident like a tsunami or an earthquake. It’s not worse, just very different.

He got one more reply. After this, it’s only going to be gifs of bye felica and people making “wank off” motions. I’m done with his nonsense. Sometimes it’s worth giving it a try and seeing if you can have a civil conversation, and sometimes it’s not.
