Thank you, so much this.

It's really fucking depressing to me that you just compared men, who one would think/believe have agency and control over their own actions, to an act of.....Mother Nature. You want to to compare it to arson? Go for it, most people don't keep extinguishers around for that, do they?

While I agree about addressing all issues, it's not just "calling them misogynists" it's frustratingly trying to explain that he WAS one, and that it's a serious societal issue. This is not laziness on the part of those doing the yelling.

I am working on it. To be fair I get VERY worked up (a la Erin interrupting her bathing boyfriend) and we argue about a lot of things. I think he will come around if I can approach the subject more reasonably and less emotionally, although I think I have every right to be emotional/angry.

This one works.

I've never taken to her (I am admittedly, embarrassingly, model-obsessed). She's just lacking that...something, it's hard to explain.

No. Plenty of people, both men and women, project their insecurities and self-hate outward. It's usually in the form of bullying, passive-aggression, abuse, etc. Your run-of-the-mill dick behavior. There are also plenty of people, both women and men, who project their self-loathing and insecurities inward. That…

YES and empathy is so important and lacking, I believe, it enrages me to see the concept bastardized to make a shit point.

It's called the patriarchy, and it is exactly what Erin and countless other women challenge daily. It's not just about women. Also, if you could enlighten me as to which female has ever committed mass murder because of low self esteem. You are horribly off the mark, and you're wrapping it in a false veil of "empathy"…

Really well said, thank you.

This makes me physically sick.

This isn't too surprising, is it? While I find him incredibly attractive now, it took me a long time to shake off his creepy, nasty character from Atonement. He does have a slightly otherworldly and non-conventional look about him.

I will go ahead and ask the question. What DO I do if I or my toddler are attacked by a dog? I've seen two pit attacks in my life (on other animals) that have forever scarred me but I have to say I'm not fully aware of the best strategies should it happen. And yes I realize it's not only pits who attack, let's say any…

Florence? Okay, I finally got a case of the jealousies.

That cat is regretting the day she went for that dick dog. She looks soooooooooooo pissy.

This is my child every morning. "I'm sleeeeepy." And I'm like "dude...me too, let's get back in bed WTF are we doing up anyhow." We are just the worst influences on each other. He learns bad habits and I'm late to work. Giving the lazy cat stink eye on the way out.

If you didn't know this...you're an idiot. Ditto for almost every other chain/brand/designer.

I have a 3.5 year old and about 85% of my questions are answered with an "I don't know." It's incredibly annoying.

I just watched this video over at Gawker and am equal parts horrified by the attack (huge fear of an animal attacking my own toddler) and totally fucking enthralled by that cat's ninja moves. That is a seriously badass cat with an adorable IDAF face.

It was SO good.
