Holy crap, is the Wash Post for real in publishing this? Have they become an online, written arm of Fox News?

Right right, women are the deadlier ones. That's why so many of us are in prison for violent crimes, shoot up public places, routinely beat and kill our spouses and children, and like to jockey for "world's best" and "biggest dick" by arranging and slaughtering soldiers (aka poor or stupid guys with few economic…

Hilarious. I've... uh... noticed males of this same species beating and killing their spouses en masse with this aforementioned cookware. But right right, it is women who are the crazy, aggressive, hormonal ones...that's why so many of us are in prison for violent crimes, eh?

I think this show is fantastic if for no other reason than it really centers and focuses on women. So ridiculously few shows really *look* at women, especially if they're not helpless, hot, or clone-like blonde FBI agents.

I don't understand the Piper-hating stuff either. Sorry, but I'm an upper middle class white girl, and I'm only speaking for myself and a few white friends who watch OITNB, but I actually relate to her and she makes the show interesting and relevant for us. I would honestly probably act a lot like her if you threw…

Very light blondes (northern European origins here) rarely do. I'm guessing your hair and skin are not super light.

Exactly, that's my point. True, light blondes usually don't tan well.

I suppose it's possible, but people differ on how they define blonde. I'm very light blonde and define blonde as the lighter shades- everyone I have met with my similar hair color is pretty sun intolerant. I have friends who call themselves blonde, even though they range from dirty blonde to light brown hair. I…

Any blonde who can tan is not a natural one. Natural blonde here, cannot be in the sun for more than 10 minutes without SPF 70 nor can any natural blond I have ever known. Blondes with tans? Either the hair or the tan is fake.

As a former Catholic and product of 15 years of brainwashing, er... I mean Catholic schools, I agree.

"Women worldwide ages 15-44 are more likely to die or be maimed because of male violence than because of cancer, malaria, war and traffic accidents combined." When tens of thousands of men are doused with gasoline and burned each year in Pakistan and India for the sole sake of their family's honor, then men can get…

I totally agree that many women enforce these toxic gender roles. They apparently benefit from playing the game, so they play it with gusto. It may not have been clear from my last post, but I don't give them a free pass, I honestly loathe those women and argue with them every chance I get. But I don't fear for my…

I agree. You might be the victim of it as well, but the problem is that most violent people are men. So as women, we are rarely perpetrators, but often victims; whereas men are both offenders & victims, it's harder to differentiate the good ones from the bad. In my opinion, our society (and many others) overlooks…

Because it isn't one in a billion, I agree with some of Dinosaurs' comments, but not that. Let's be frank: it is the majority or at the very least, a sizable minority, of men and a culture that ignores, overlooks, or denies it... THAT is why it is a problem.

Thank you thank you thank you. I am furious too. And yet I can't be furious or even slightly irritated about these issues when talking with the men I know (co-workers, husband, brother, friends etc), they all get defensive, angry, "not-all-men," flustered, and dismissive. Guy friends have told me "I don't know…

Totally agree! Many liberal men (and women) are just as bad as conservatives, they are just hypocritical and inconsistent. Both parties are filled with huge assholes who basically have to become lying, deceitful manipulators to get anywhere. For example, I am not a Sarah Palin fan, but liberals skewered her for…

I actually agree with you. I know a dozen guys who have been through similar situations, but they are totally shamed by stuff like this and would never talk about it so openly.

I agree. What Rove really deserves is someone equally gifted in that area to expertly sling crap back his way. But you need a soul-less, manipulative sociopath and there are fewer of those on the opposing side.

I really didn't miss your point, I was agreeing with you. I don't think I was clear about that though.

Yeah, but somehow Rove ignores the fact that GW Bush spoke and acted like a 4th grade boy during his presidencies. If anyone has brain damage, it was/is GW Bush.
