    I mean, really. Funny how so many men don't really get that there are gobs of women who just don't care how fuckable we are to them.

    Where did you go to elementary school? The Barbados? It should be "I could have" not "I could of."

    Ok let's look at this rationally...women go on maternity leave for 6 weeks, some 3 months. The income lost from this (especially if you consider that some women have partially paid leaves or use vacation pay) is not a reflection of whether one can pay a mortgage over the course of 5, 15, or 30 years. Get real. So

    I totally agree that one can't be upset that audiences aren't demanding women's sports, not arguing with that at all. But I do get annoyed at hearing men (you are not the first) say that women's sports are boring and "a joke" and women should just not play sports (and it's usually coming from guys who couldn't last 2

    "Men in soccer don't beat each other into bloody pulps." Actually, yeah they often do. You obviously didn't watch the Brazil- Colombia game. That was ridiculous... hitting, tripping, pushing, kneeing, you name it. Men can't do anything physically competitive without a sizable number becoming violent lunatics. At

    "Taking off work constantly for kids" is not just a lady thing, men (gasp) have kids too. Last time I checked, it takes 2 genetic contributers to create a child. So the same man who wants to make sure his business thrives also probably has kids & wants to make sure his kids thrive too. The U.S. has lost all ability

    "Women's sports suck to watch" - um, maybe for you and some men? Why is roughness & blood spatter = aggression in your limited mind? Aggression does not have one definition; women are plenty aggressive, perhaps just not in the typical male over-testosterinized way. Why is battering each other into bloody pulps

    Umm, the author was not saying that men and women are equal in athletic competitions or that women should compete with men. Get beyond a 4th grade reading comprehension ability before you comment next time.

    No, see I think it's an asinine question to ask women OR men period. When in human history did the majority of people (not talking monarchs or the super rich) have the luxury of not working and doing nothing but staring at their children all day? Almost never. People, men and women, have always historically worked

    Absolutely! Breasts' real purposes are totally lost in the modern world. They are now regarded only as sources of sexual titillation...and honestly, if we stopped covering them up so obsessively and prudishly, they would definitely lose their sexual appeal and become more naturally regarded as a part of a woman's

    It's particularly offensive that it was a woman who complained. I often find that women are the enforcers of prudishness, slut-shaming, and moralizing other women over this, that or the other.

    Of course it will affect women, wake up. Any female of repro age could be affected, anyone who is employed by businesses that fall in the same category as hobby lobby. I work for a Catholic college, so I am just waiting for this to happen here - it could and it might. Why are birth control and abortion the ONLY

    I agree 100%. I'm so sick of people, usually guys, telling me "not to get angry" about these issues. When I see decisions like this I wonder, how can ANY woman with more than 3 brain cells not get angry? Really ladies, where are you and why aren't you furious about this decision? Oh yeah, those women probably

    Buffers are ABSOLUTELY needed, especially on a path from the parking lot to the clinic. I was a clinic escort in IL and the anti-abortion people are nuts. They follow, scream, taunt, shake fists, hold up graphic signs (bloody dismembered fetuses, Holocaust photos, you name it). How is that ok in any context? They

    Aldi?

    I am so not surprised. I remember stopping at the whole foods in alexandria VA for take-out, paying $15 for a teeny tiny amount of some overcooked tofu crap, which had been labeled $9.99 per lb. There is no way I got 1.5 lbs of that stuff, but the cashier just shrugged when I questioned it. The guy behind me acted

    Actually, it is somewhat like FGC and the circumcised penis is MUCH less sensitive. It just happens when the child is younger and less able to remember.

    Apparently... I find male circumcision also disgusting and would not allow it for my son. People so blindly do it and don't even ask why.

    I totally disagree. I don't think we rope men into marriage at all (what do they lose?) and my single friends are honestly happier than my married ones. I'm married, work full time, and have 3 kids, I can tell you first hand that there is not much in the institution of marriage for women (except of course he makes

    Exactly: the problem is dumped onto women, not onto the perpetrators. Is it that hard for men to stop raping, beating and killing women? Are women asking that much?
