I also think that some of the appeal of the Alpha hero is that he doesn’t need to be cared for. In real life, women still shoulder a lot of the day-to-day physical care-taking the home and the emotional care-taking of their partners. But a guy who is a supremely competent duke/vampire/captain of industry doesn’t…

I don’t subscribe to most of the belief system, but I do know alphas exist, and I also know you’re either born one or you’re not. You can’t fake your way to it. The men I’d categorize as alphas don’t NEED to neg women or act like misogynistic douches; they’re natural born leaders with strong personalities but enough…

Yes, please.

PRIVATE JET ALL THE WAY. I travel so much and oh my gosh how amazing to be able to bypass all the airport bullshit and squeezing 500 people onto a plane and instead fly in luxury.

If they’re blurring out all the boobs, why can I still see all the hosts’ faces?

They get around it by not employing doctors, generally. Often these places are staffed by church volunteers who have taken an ultrasound course (OR NOT) and aren’t governed by the same ethical guidelines as actual practitioners. Depending on where you are, the fine print on their intake forms might say something like…

I accidentally ended up at one of these places years ago, they did a pregnancy test, showed me the video, gave me the pamphlets and told me I wasn’t pregnant. Ended up I was. I still had an abortion but I’m sure they thought by lying to me I’d put off doing anything until it was too late.

I sat through hearings on so-called “informed consent” legislation that requires doctors to tell women specific “facts” about abortion and show them pictures of fetuses at various stages of development. The “pro life” groups pushing the bill kept stressing that women deserved information before making abortion…

“So… you’re still abortion-minded, even if you happen to be tubally pregnant?” she asked.

Jezebel, sometimes it just seems like you’re trolling feminism.

I can’t keep up with which women we hate for no real reason these days.

“Sorta makes one yearn for the quiet days when Portman was hanging with her hottie dancer husband and recovering from gestating both her first Oscar and a child, doesn’t it?”

As someone who spends a lot of time in Jefferson City, and was down there yesterday fighting once again for Medicaid expansion, I can tell you that this couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. Although this has been one of the worst sessions in our state’s history in terms of sticking it to the citizens of Missouri…

“ There has never been a time when an elected official is praised for his “family values” that it does not come back to bite him in the worst way possible. Remember this, family values Republicans. Learn it well. For once. “

“But I vote third party/Hillary and Barack are EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE GOP...”

When you vote GOP, this is what you’re voting for.

“I’m just so tiny and petite! Everything’s big on me! Especially your big manly clothing! The reason I’m so cold is because I’m so thin and fragile, by the way, in case you haven’t noticed! Don’t you want to take caaaaare of meeeeee?”

This is so spot on. “It’s so big on me!”
