Except when you see the old photos of them as preppie rich kids and realize the whole beards and Jesus thing is created by the sons solely for tv.

Actually, condescending rudeness usually just makes me argue harder. But now it's time to go to dinner with my spouse, and have an adult conversation, so good luck to you in getting your question answered about how all men need lessons in fighting fair, because that's not sexist and judgmental and I'm sure you'll get…

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.

NY is somewhat a no fault state now. A couple of years ago, a 7th cause of action for divorce, being "the marriage has irretrievably broken down for a period of over six months" (paraphrase) was added. All of the other grounds are still on the books. I can't see why anyone would ever use them, unless it's an ugly case…

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.)
