"I let my wife get away with the stupidest stuff."

I'm sorry. Oh, uh... I mean, STFU, moran! My commentary was obviously so above your intellect you can't even see yourself in it. I just feel sorry for you. 4Realz. You want to get me banned bc you can't win your point, fine. But it's on you!!!!111111111!!~!ELEVENTY!!!!11111111

I now realize my reply to you sounded 99% more snarky than I meant it too. I agree with you. I just also wanted to say what I said and it's not really related to your comment! Ha! :D

Sure. It's a topic that can benefit everyone in any relationship - whether that be friendship, family, romantic, work, etc. But the fact is, women/girls are routinely made to feel responsible for how relationships work in a way that men/boys are not.

Bc that wouldn't burden girls/women enough! :P

but how exactly would you teach girls to do that?

Also the far majority of these just sound like kids who've never had a girlfriend and aren't 'quippy' enough. (I don't think quippy is a word...)

Hahahaha, right!? I laughed aloud at "consider living in California."

We had that too! We called it "shop" but it was wood and metal shop and home ec where we cooked and sewed. It was great! I loved shop.

We had that class. It was called "contemporary living" and it was mandatory. All students (it was a co-ed school) learned how to balance a checkbook, how to look for a job, how to determine if you could afford a particular place to live (we had imaginary jobs with imaginary and ranging salaries), how to 'care for'…

Ah, I hear ya now!

That's how I read it too. And I moved a LOT in my 20s, like every 18 months or so, and lost more than one 'long-term' boyfriend who wouldn't move for/with me.

Hmmm... I love Zadie Smith and perhaps I'm looking at this too broadly but I do think everyone deserves love. Love of family or friends or romance or fans or pets or or or... Romantic love? Maybe not everyone deserves it but I think most people do.

Not sure how #1 and #2 in the world 'aren't exactly the best players' but my point in valid. I'm not saying it's not annoying, I'm not saying it is, I'm saying the language around the discussion of grunting/screeching/screaming women tennis players is sexist language. Bc it is.

That would be MUCH more awesome! Let's just go with that!

Hahahaha... a schooner.

I think she's already hit it from a serve but the overhead angle makes it look like the ball is on the 'wrong' side of her racket when in reality she's swinging through and the ball is just 'above' the racket. Does that make sense?

For all the folks saying about women grunters "It's different bc it's a longer screech" it's not. Rafa and Nole hold their grunt until the ball gets to their opponent too. The difference is the pitch. And a higher pitch is seen as automatically more annoying. And that in itself is typically doused in sexism. Women…

I think the point is that for girls their success comes from how they look and not what they do. White boys successes come from 'real' successes - education, job, hot wife, etc.

Thanks for "...that male infertility is a real thing.". I'm SO tired of male issues with being able to create a child being ignored. It's really not just up to me!
