Here's the thing about the internet: you posted a public question, on Jez, about how to make the man in the couple fight fair. As a frequent reader and poster who is trying very hard to be aware of gender issues, I attempted to point out that, from my personal experience and generally, it isn't always a male/female…

Goal was to say maybe your man needs some advice on fighting fair, but saying it's all men/fiances/whatever isn't the case. Many of us with XY can engage our brains and have a civil discourse. Many people with XX are emotional fighters who don't respect the rules of fighting fair. And the converse.

From my experience, it just made my wife very hostile.

Funny, because in my house it is my wife that likes to push the nuclear buttons.

I think I'm suddenly pleased my spouse prefers Vince Vaughn/Owen Wilson crap to chick flicks. I'm not sure I should tell her or I'll end up seeing more, but I'm thrilled to see what I've missed.

I feel so sorry you went through that. My mom was never like that with me or my sister. She had an unhealthy self-loathing from the fact she was heavy and she'd bludgeon us with not wanting to make her mistakes. While not teaching us how to do it and only nagging us to exercise, which never went well because of other…

That's a nonsensical question, based on the logical fallacy of false equivalency. It's basically saying "but if Bellicheck plants an H bomb accidentally in the orphanage..."

Agreed.

I've watched that GIF so many times I've changed my opinion fifteen times.

Hear, hear.

As a resident of Chautauqua County...and a terrible person...I'm hoping that the children of the children end up in a setting where they are well taken care of, but I'm also not minding negative press because maybe it will keep some people away from Chautauqua Institution and traffic will travel more than 20 mph on…

And yet old white people still hate him because Cowherd misinterpreted the sideline rant.

Very good piece.

NASA, I am willing to join that team. As someone that read too many sci fi books as a kid and has no actual practical skills, I'm perfectly suited to be man's last hope. In my mind.

I'd echo this, although I'm not in NYC. I'm a boring, straightlaced professional, but I come from a family/population that has a very bad relation with police. I've wanted to try to be friendly/social so that (1) I can get over my historical anxiety and (2) so they know me and don't shoot me if they are every chasing…

Just curious, in a hypothetical sense—what level of "play on the ball" is significant enough to allow the call to stand? When he's planting his feet, the ball is almost caught. I'm not sure it's possible, short of teleportation, for him to get to the ball or receiving defender to do more than tackle him once he has…

I'm amazed by the Boston fans certain that Gronk would have stopped on a dime, dove forward, pushed the defender away (no OPI), and caught the winning TD for St. Taahhmmy, but for the defender (even if that's not the issue with interpreting the rule...they are just certain.)

Except he plants and then sort of aimlessly drifts backward as he's pushed. He doesn't appear to be struggling to go toward the ball.

I live between Pittsburgh and Buffalo, two cities noted for homerism, and yet 90% of the FB feed trashtalking comes from a few random people who are Pats fans. Some are lifelong, some are bandwagon, but by and large, they take a special pride in talking about how wonderful "they" (apparently these fans are backup TEs…

Funny how every Pats fan who never heard of the push rule from the Jets game is suddenly a rule book expert on DPI.
