I'm saying I don't understand what you're talking about at all. Can you please elaborate on what you meant with the Duck Dynasty thing and explain how it relates because I seriously don't get it.

I'm very close to someone with FAS too, and it really sucks. However, there's no evidence that a VERY moderate drinking (like this article says, one drink per week) causes any problems whatsoever. There is, however, boatloads of evidence that excessive drinking leads to problems. They publish stuff like this because…
What? I honestly have no clue what you're talking about. Read the article carefully. You will not find a single word denoting value judgement.
You should note that the article itself doesn't rejoice or mourn. It's simply a statement of facts.

Ditto to Burt. My hubby is a feminist as are basically all my male friends. They embraced the term even before I did (fucking hipsters...)

Me too! It felt so weird and grown-up. I had to order a turkey. And cleaning my house for my mother's first visit was a psychological train wreck.
Yeah, completely. Once when I was doing the Whole 30 I asked if my multivitamin was ok to continue to take and I figured it would be since it was literally just made of powdered plants and yeast and I got the snarkiest response telling me essentially that this magic pill wasn't going to give me health on a platter.…
I did look at it, yes. It only showed what you said before, that they have a higher post-op suicide rate than pre-op. But, like I said before, not all transgender people go through surgery. And higher suicide rates post-op don't necessarily mean that they suffer from a mental illness instead of a social stigma. But…
Yeah sorry but your first post comes off as pretty bigoted, friend. Is there an interesting discussion to be had about this? Yes. But you came out swinging. Further, the suicide rate of gay teens is also unacceptable. One might even say they suffer from a lot of psychological stress. And not all transgender people…
What's the psychological issue though? There's nothing biologically innate about gender so rejecting one's gender assignment seems like just refusing to go along with a social norm (kind of like the one that says you shouldn't have sex with other men). I'm sure you appreciate it when people don't say there's something…
We figured out recently that what was wrong about homosexuality wasn't the mental state of the homosexual but rather society's view on them. We, as a society, have literally made up gender. It is a social construct. How dare we condemn others for breaking our made up rules?
Yeah, Mr Banana is (shockingly) on pretty great terms with the dude I made a drunken mistake with at the beginning of our relationship. They didn't hang out for about a year but now getting together to play video games is something that happens. It's almost like its possible for a man to not have his masculinity tied…
I was going to say because we don't elect ass-hats, and then remembered my seething hatred for Stephen Harper. So the new answer is that I don't know.
Ugh, tell me about it. Originally we were just going to have a parents/siblings+kids/grandparents morning deal, go out for brunch and call it a day. Then my step-dad told my aunt and uncle (who he and my mom just ended a massive feud with) that they were invited. So then our choices were to tell them they weren't…
We had already chosen when we were going to get married and written a guest list (the timing was blatantly obvious for practical reasons). So one day we were sitting in the hot tub, discussing wedding plans and this happened:
Mr Banana reaches for more wine "So what do you think?"
Me "About what? More wine? Yes please"
Mr…
I found a mop that's exactly like the swifter except that you just re-fill it with whatever cleaning solution you like (great for me since I clean with diluted vinegar) and it has reusable cloth pads that just Velcro to the bottom of it. It squirts with a manual trigger on the handle. It's amazing and I would…
