"I admit that I can be a bit mouthy and I like proving blowhard guys wrong, so I leaned over and asked sweetly, "Who are you and how are you such an expert on teachers' unions?"

I am 5'2, so actually I do need some "chivalry" (well, politeness) every now and then. I hate appearing to be weak, but sometimes I just do really need the help, say heavy door vs. me carrying my handbag/laptop/water bottle; or reaching out for stuff in high shelves; or carrying anything that weighs more than 40…

Right there with you. So what if a guy carries my stuff for me or gives me his jacket on a rainy day? I know he doesn't think I would die of pneumonia if I walk down the block without a jacket. The whole topic of chivalry/politeness seems so... zzzzz to me. We have much bigger fish to fry.

When I was 2, my mom bought me a cute little pair of sandals. She tried and tried to put them on me, but it was impossible. Apparently, I cried and cried and cried until she took them off and put on again my "regular" shoes. I have absolutely no recollection of this, but yeah... apparently some babies an be very…

I swear, this made me laugh so goddamn hard. Well done.

Who wears this crap?! It's almost as if they never want to get laid again...

No worries, I see your point :)

I have to agree with you.. the article was too snarky. The whole point was (or should have been) "this isn't against rich, white men - sexism hurts everybody".

Definitely, there are instances where the father is clearly the most apt parent, and yet the mother has been given full custody of the children.

Yeah, I thought: "Comedy's new legends" = comedians, as opposed to "actors who sometimes have comedic roles". Oh well.

There are several causes for this:

Thanks a lot for your very mature and thoughtful response. You are pretty much proving my point: being an asshole is never ok. Asking for basic respect ≠ defending Chris Brown... but I guess that went over your head.

Bravo!

"I was raised to not respect a person who doesn't respect others."

...and to say that a fetus or a zygote = baby - a human being with rights- is also a fallacy.

Exactly!

Ok, say, you are walking down the street and a scary looking guy approaches you and asks aggressively for your wallet. You panic and comply with his order. Then you go to the police to report the crime and they ask you: "Why didn't you run away? It is not like he has pointing a gun at you... and why did you give him…
