"Ugh, I have to watch what I'm eating; it's three-quarters sleeves season and my weight always goes right to my elbows."

I just wanted to say that I may not have agreed with some of your personal stances in posts before, but this one was logically laid out and expressed everything I wanted to say after reading the post. Great response!

So, we had a Constitutional amendment for interracial marriage? I don't remember that. I remember Loving v. Virginia, which like Windsor, clarified the civil rights issues regarding how the states could regulate marriage.

I'm not sure your assessment of Clinton's Supreme Court stance is accurate here. I can't find a quote on her directly on that matter, but I did find the following exchange where she said she was happy that the Supreme Court struck down DOMA (from the same Terry Gross interview that has brought this into the limelight…

I'm not really sure what you're arguing for here when you say you want a presidential candidate to not leave marriage laws to the states. The current strategy appears to be pushing towards as many state law changes as possible, with an eventual aim at getting gay marriage taken up by the U.S. Supreme Court. This…

Wait, now Jenny McCarthy's kid is autistic again? He is the only kid with the seasonal autism in the world. SMH.

I'm honestly very confused. I'm 40 and was raised to be a feminist. For me, that has always meant that my gender didn't predetermine my career, education or other life choices. It has meant that as a feminist, we should all be working for equality. It has never meant that dressing feminine was bad, that staying at…

OH SO BEARS DON'T COUNT AS "REAL" WOMEN???

As a heterosexual, married male, I must offer two responses to this article:

First, the positive: Thank you for the laugh. This was one of the most insightful, witty, cutting articles I've read in a long time—and it had me howling, until...

Second, the negative: I have realized I know far too many men—and far too many…

I don't need feminism because I like having no legal recourse when my husband beats me.

BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T NEED FEMINISM TELLING HER TO NOT SHOW HER TITS TO COMPLETE STRANGERS ON THE INTERNET.

The "Not Rape" titty shot is classy and does not scream "I am desperate for attention" at all.

She sure as fuck needs a grammar, though.

That's what I expected as well- something about infantalizing women by dressing Barbie as a girl scout. Oh, well.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when people load all their self-image troubles on having had Barbies as a kid. Really? It was that one toy, out of the dozens of toys you had? It wasn't your sister, your mom, your classmates, your bully, TV, magazines, your gymnastics coach, or Judy Blume that might have…

they're supposed to be pics of those Nestle Girl Scout Cookie candy bars that I saw a commercial for earlier today.

I loved Barbie and somehow I managed to grow up to be a feminist, not have an eating disorder, and be enthused about math AND science. I wonder how that could have possibly happened? Could I perhaps have gleaned some positivity from a doll that can be anything and isn't just pretty, but was president, and astronaut,…

Nevermind all that; there's a motherfucking Lego dinosaur skeleton! *buys twelve*
