The mistake wasn't pointing out you're a dude. The mistake was telling women, AS someone “of the male persuasion", how to solve a complex societal issue tbecause infamous for only listening to male pov's, as opposed to someone of the male persuasion who wants equality for everyone, who thinks PART of the solution is…

Could you explain that correlation please? I don't understand how you got there.

I'm not sure if this dude is old school trolling, but I did want to tell you I found your input valuable.

Thank you! I have the same experience. You wouldn't also happen to be taller than the average female height, would you?

Exactly! And, not that I'm saying people should be numbered, there table probably had a number assigned to it. I work in the service industry and all of our tables/areas have specific numbers or names.

This p.o.v. seems a little contradictory. Would you care to explain?

Omg your last sentence. Thank you. I know a lot of right-leaners claim to be about the Constitution, but they can't be. Because of that whole separation of Church and State thing right?

I always love your input.

You know, I'll go ahead and say it. Why do any of these people care that complete strangers are getting abortions? Are these politicians going to make sure orphanges and foster programs are well-funded? Are they going to take care of the babies themselves? No? Then why are these people making it their personal goal to…

THANK YOU. To me, that seems to be Tracie's main gripe with how the issue in Africa is being handled. I would conject that it is a sort of victim blaming as well.

Tracie, I see you're getting a lot of hate, so I'd like to say one thing: I don't think people are getting over your commentary on female condoms to see the broader, more important part which is that sexual responsibility is not only for women. Yes, in Africa women's security is a lot different than in the States, but…

But...surgeons. *facepalm*

Well that's good news!

I don't think the original article was bashing a choice, just the idea that "the wife SHOULD take her husbands name". But I don't think it's anyone's right to give you hell for a decision about a NAME when you clearly understand the issue of name choosing and are making an informed decision.

I think you're right to feel that way. At the same time, I do think pictures of these memorials can be appropriate, just not when one is duck-facing in an area where people have died.

I have very similar tastes and experiences as you. Other commentors on Jezebel though have helped me realize that everyone is entitled to what they like, and I would assume that should you or I simulate rape, it would be with another person who genuinely respects you and wants to fulfill a (perhaps mutual) desire.

Yes, yes, and yes! You've summed up my thoughts perfectly. How did you know? lol

Hahahahaha! This is a whole 'nother can of worms!

This is horrifying

I see what you're saying, and I respectfully disagree with the sentiment that Hilary shouldn't be the first female president. I think she has the experience and has held other positions in government long enough to not ONLY associate her as being first lady.
