I am outraged by this result. But if the decision was unanimous and even RBG joined in the majority opinion, it makes me wonder what legal nuances this case turned on. Would going the other way have set some dangerous precedent for free speech? Anyone here know?

Bingo.

I've been following Amy Klein's "Fertility Diary" series in the NYTimes. I know this is way not my place to suggest, but she has convinced me that 30-something women who are single but potentially want kids should consider freezing their eggs. It could save money in the long run because women are more likely to get…

Not to mention... to all those complaining about the prices, that it what it looks like when a company gives its workers medical, dental, and paid time off. Living wages aren't free.

If you think the 1% is bad, imagine if our national anthem was "God save the Koch Brothers."

Woah, woah, there: you don't have to be in the top 1% to be "rich." Are only people in the bottom 1% considered "poor"? I don't think so.

"The US government has a pretty 'unsavoury' past, too."

Yeah, I really don't understand the feminism / celeb gossip mash-up that is Jezebel. We should question Benedict Cumberbatch's fame because his ancestors were colonialists, but the royal family is totally cool because its lifestyle is sanctioned by law. All bodies are beautiful and objectifying bodies is wrong, but…

Yes, this is so true! I once saw a survey showing that something like 95% of Americans consider themselves to be "middle class." I once made a friend of mine who is "upper middle class" (read: RICH!) guess what the median income for an individual in this country is. She guessed $90,000. *Cringe.* It's so important for…

I get that you're being at least part smart-ass, but if you think about what you said for 5 minutes, I really hope you will change your mind. You would rather live in Iran or North Korea than to live in a society where people have the right to vote for ideas you don't share? This month was the 20th anniversary of the…

I would draw the line at people who literally do not have any skills. Pippa has no skills.

I would be very uncomfortable living in a nation where the monarch is officially, even if not practically, the Head of State. Oaths of allegiance are made to the monarch. The national anthem is "God Save the Queen." Etc., etc. Just because the monarchy clings on for dear life to a system that has become democratic,…

At least celebrities like actors, singers, and sports stars are famous because of some exceptional skill. I put royalty into the same category as Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian: famous for being rich; does not compute.

I don't get it. Can anyone explain why so many Americans are obsessed with British royalty? Almost everyone in my Constitutional Law class was surreptitiously watching the royal wedding during a discussion of our founding fathers' values. Oh, the irony! I'm not usually super patriotic, but getting rid of royalty is…

Ugh. Clearly. I flat-out do not believe the person insisting that street harassment is unique to white men, when it's a global problem.

Do you live in a predominantly white area? Because I've found that the majority of men who harass, catcall, etc. are whatever ethnicity is most common in that area. This goes for both neighborhoods in the U.S. and foreign countries.

I was just making sure you realized that FMLA is available. I fear a lot of women who work for large companies don't know that they can't be fired for taking unpaid maternity leave, etc. Since you said, "I actually don't even care if the leave is paid," I immediately thought of FMLA. Plus, it seems like any federal…

Well, a lot of the unpaid leave you mentioned is covered by FMLA already - assuming the employee qualifies.

So ... what's the proposal? How many weeks of paid leave? Who pays? How long does a woman need to be employed before she can collect paid leave?

If this is indeed a hoax, then yes, that's pretty much the only missing piece of information I would desire. If it's not a hoax, then I am sorry that someone was rude to this little girl. But if it's a hoax, and the family collected $135,000 fraudulently, then I think it would be really interesting to know whether…
