Actually @OhthePossibilities:disqus I'd say that most "Liberal Arts Majors" of the type your describe sound a bit like you. Far far FAR too cynical to be outraged by anything.  These are men of the world, after all!  They're too jaded for pseudo-righteous anger, so they indulge pseudo-cynicism instead.

@sobriquetrouge:disqus , I think that characterizing teenage girls having babies and gormless ignorance to be a part of a "culture" and, thus, beyond criticism is pure foolishness.  Ignorance and self-harm is not culture worth preserving, it's a side effect of poverty.

@avclub-ca157d1a1382fd3eb266129b96bdba74:disqus But I think it's kind of annoying that it seems like, for women, "winning" and "having a soul" means giving up your evil job and becoming a mom.  If Ellen really can't practice law without being evil, I don't think she's likely to be a particularly good parent either. …

Would a woman so twee that she insists on eschewing even email and only writing letters, really make her lover read Twilight?  Wouldn't she be more inclined to pick, say, "Pamela" or "The Mysteries of Udolpho"?

@avclub-b030afbb3a8af8fb0759241c97466ee4:disqus I think that the "any information is as good as any other information" situation certainly complicates matters, but people in the US have loved being told that they were smarter than the smart people for a long time now.  Believing that your stupid opinion is just as…
