"If I have a resource that is not necessary to my survival and would ensure someone else's, whose right is it to tell me I can't give that to them?"

You may be on the list. But the chances that you ever get to donate are slim. Unless things are changing much more quickly than I realize. I took a lot of bioethics when I did my MA about five years ago, and the doctors that lectured us on voluntary live-donation told us that they basically worked to absorb the…

I'm sorry to have to be the person who says this, but this was a big mistake (on the doctors' part). The medical establishment cannot allow people to do this. And it usually doesn't.

Doesn't plan B also work by stopping a fertilized egg from implanting, though? That's a different problem. I mean, in so far as we all know that women who suffer over-weight and women who suffer under-weight are very different in terms of how their uterine linings form and shed this shouldn't really be that surprising.

OT Q: I was reading the original article the other day on Mother Jones and all the comments were about how sluts should just keep their knees together. Why does the discussion at MJ's look like the discussion on Yahoo? Or, how do those people end up on an MJ's article? Is it being linked through something else that is…

You're absolutely right. These lists perfectly illustrate why the Twilight Series is so fucked up. Compare the Twilight Series list to the Hunger Games list. On the one hand you have a list about a man, and a young girl's attachment and constant reaction to him. On the hand you have a list about a girl, who is NAMED,…

I agree with you that my language was sloppy.

6 drinks is heavy. Very heavy. Maybe not by most Western cultural standards. But physiologically, it is.

I would ask you to consider the content of the guy's posts directed at me. He hasn't defended himself. He has ONLY requested that I collate his own comments for him.

I actually agree with you. It's not about which is worse. And it's certainly not about which causes more pain. It's about which form of abuse constitutes systemic violence. More women are battered to death every year than men. That is true. But it's not a relevant fact because it means that women suffer more. It's a…

To be clear, I really don't think this guy is an MRA. I know I was sloppy when I said, "Only MRAs say," but really I only think his repetitive affirmations that women hurt men are MRA-y. And honestly, the rest of his stuff is mostly just very forced, trying-too-hard feminist-guy stuff. Not MRA-y. (Yet.)

"Whatever gender you are..."

No.

Yes I could.

I've lived on both Coasts and in Silicon Valley. And you're deluded.

Please. I'm not a person at all. I'm a woman. Where have you been?

"Well what they are accusing us of are actively trying to ruin men - I can't imagine that is what you're trying to do."

Thanks bro-friend. ;)

I also am making a word salad. So no apology needed.

"Furthermore, by actively ignoring or vilifying the very idea of male victims, we are doing the very thing the MRAs want to accuse us of doing."
