I'm not, as you put it, clutching my pearls over Miley shaking her ass.

Slut shaming? There's a difference between "Don't act sexual or you're a slut" and "You're being used by a giant corporate machine to make money off of your sexuality". Maybe we could save "slut shaming" for the former and call the latter "good advice".

If fighting is hurting the sport then why do pretty much all of the people playing the sport say they want to keep fighting in it? You might think, being hockey players, they have some idea what makes for good hockey. They want fighting in. Sports illustrated did some anonymous poll of players a few years ago and it…

I guess part of my point here is that with sexual interaction, it's messy. Figuratively. It's more complex than running an errand to the store, which means that communication about the issue must happen.

But she isn't keeping them secret. He knows she is having them, he just doesn't want to know specifics.

So you've re-conceptualized what some might take to be a healthy relationship using your own OBVIOUS biases and decided it's not healthy and that, therefore, the woman in it deserves to be shamed for it.

It's not betrayal is your husband knows about it or if you ask for a divorce.

They like some of what their husbands provide, be it financial or emotional. But they want other/different/better sex. They are too cowardly to tell their husbands this...

could it be that the traits being labeled as "Alpha" — dominant, aggressive — are also tied to a deep cowardice?

I think that's actually a fair response. If someone asked me about cold fusion I'd say "Look, I'm not a physicist." The important thing is that he not go hypocritical and that means keep his mouth shut about a lot of other stuff.

Why can't kids get some distance from it now? They can turn off their phones. One thing one might want to teach their kids is that a good way to deal with bullying online is to turn off their phones for a while and go out side and that bullies tend to get bored and go away if you don't respond. But there's a big…

Look.... I kinda agree with you. But something being bad for you and something being the specific cause of depression are not the same thing. Now maybe there is some link between staring at a computer screen all day and depression, but overreacting and shutting everything down isn't the solution. Feeling like they…

Why?

This is a pretty one dimensional analysis. Depression for everyone has been increasing over time. Not only are doctors getting better at diagnosing actual cases of depression, but drug companies (even in the UK) use their influence and kickbacks to sway doctors into diagnosing even more. Even ignoring the drug…

My god, you actually found one case in which a gif was a good idea. Now if only the other 8 of them weren't sucking up my bandwidth maybe this one would play smoothly.

I hate to break it to you, but terrorism isn't the only bad thing people do in the world. You're right, chances of dying by terrorist attack are stupendously low. Do you imagine that the only effect of something like 9/11 was that people died? Is the body count the only count there is? Or does the effect on the morale…

It's a poster. It's one company. That writing something about gender inequality now requires that level of magnification on the minutia of our existence is surely a sign of how far we've come.

Just a smidge.
