Very true. The same way someone criticizing Israeli policy shouldn’t be labeled an anti-semite, we can’t let anti-semites use it as cover. Bigots love being given cover and exploit it endlessly.

Yeah, very few American Jews I know support Netanyahu. I don’t think anyone hurts Israeli fundraising or support in the states like Bibi. 

You’re right that it’s a bad reason to abandon feminism, but I think what she may be saying is it’s a reason she doesn’t feel welcome at events anymore. My wife took our daughter to a march in California, it was a big day and my wife was very excited to share that experience with her daughter. Until she was harassed…

I’ve read the entire thread (I think) and I think that as you have explained your thoughts further that you don’t come off as anti-marriage, but like you think, and correct me if I’m wrong, that marriage is neither feminist nor anti-feminist inherently, that it’s neutral, and the execution of it can tilt it in one…

I’m getting misty reading about your proposal. I think it’s because it takes me back to the beautiful moment when my wife, who was leaving her job at the time, looked me deep in the eyes and, as harps played in the ether, asked me, “should I apply for the COBRA plan or should we just do it already?”

Do you feel the same if both bride and groom have parents do it? My mom walked me just like my wife’s dad walked her, so I’m just curious because to us it was just a way of honoring the parents that had always been there for us. On the other hand it is funny that when you even consider subverting certain traditions it…

Starred for the Whitman line, it has been going through my head as I have read through the thread. Was going to post it but wanted to read first because I’ve learned that when I’m late to the party someone clever and faster has often beaten me to whatever I was going to say. Curse this site’s glut of clever, quality…

Is Gunn as great there as she is on Breaking Bad? She is terrific as Skyler White, even in a show full of great performances she has some amazing moments.

Acknowledging that it is completely different for different people, I would say yes, for some of us it does. I’m not saying it’s a constant struggle or the hardest part of the day, but there are also many times where it is not easy.

Looks like Suicide Squad 2 has a glut of options now!

That includes six years ago when he told his ex wife “I hope you get raped by a pack of (racist epithet)” right? Polansky is a piece of shit who should never work again, but just  because someone is less vile than Polansky doesn’t mean they’re not vile

My daughter is indeed awesome and, I would wager from talking to you, your son is as well. And my daughter never stood a chance because we were dropping her off and she was calling to her friend Iliana who didn’t hear her, by the third “Iliaaanaaaaaa!!” I was dying, especially because when another parent said “I…

I’m in, you sold me! I haven’t watched the American Horror shows, we tried the first season with the rubber-suited guy and it wasn’t our thing, though the witch school and sideshow seasons (I liked HBO’s Carnival) looked interesting. But now I know why we’re new besties, my daughter raised eyebrows (literally, parents…

I only know Sarah Paulson from Studio 60 and Game Change, I found her charming in both, but I could watch Powers Boothe chew scenery all day. Now I want to see a face off between Powers Boothe and Ian McShane, tell me it happens and I’M SOLD

No, it’s not that, I work in a field with a lot of bright, impressive, ambitious women, and I find those qualities very attractive. Plus it’s a field that’s all about relationships, so I have the opportunity to get to know a lot of women outside of the official office, often over drinks which leads to laughs and good…

Your rats have the authority to ground you? You need to be in charge of...oh who am I kidding my beagle dictates terms and he knows it

Wine is the most versatile of gifts! And yes, arranging for not just a day but for an entire weekend is the best. That way we have one day to sleep and be lazy instead of doing the fun things we had planned on doing, and then still have a day for the fun things!

I think Goggins is the star of any scene he is in, I really loved the Shield and his acting on that over the course of the show as his character changes is amazing.

I always liked the old expression “luck is the residue of design,” and I think you are right but that it applies here, because I bet you both do a lot of little things to make it work. Congrats on the success, you give hope to us all.

For you
