I more hate the idea that women are the ones labeled as inferior, dumb, irrational and trouble causing when statistics tell us the overwhelming percentage of murders, rapes, assaults, country ruination and war mongering are committed by men.

That’s crazy. I’m glad you have a healthy outlook on it, I guess some guys (and gals) get so stuck in that mindset that they must be the ‘provider’ that they don’t know how to process the inverse situation. It really just does not compute.

A few months ago my current boss said in front of me to a male coworker that ‘situations where the husband stays home with the kids and the wife’s pay supports the household never work out, ask any of them who’ve tried that.’ As a woman who makes way more than her husband and who would very likely find herself in that…

Ha! Me too.

Ha! Me too.

I would love to have a stay at home husband for babies. I’m sure as hell not taking a year off of work, and daycare is expensive. If he wanted to just keep staying home after they were toddlers though, that would be a different story.

Thank you :)

In our society it’s pretty rare to see friends of any sex being that affectionate with each other. I wasn't trying to burn Stewart or anything, it's just very foreign to me for friends to act this way.

Pretty sure if I kissed my female friend on the mouth both she and everyone else in the room would be like ‘wait, what?’ This is not normal ‘friend’ behavior, no matter the sex of the kissers.

it likely won’t happen: McKellan officiated Stewart’s wedding to Sunny Ozell in 2013.

Long gone is the era wherein people generally minded their own goddamn business.

Public shaming, for me anyway, is a useful tool in blasting away someone's incorrect assumption that everyone around them agrees with them.

I didn't understand this either.

I got my BSME from Pitt in ‘06, had only one female prof, but knew of several female TAs. I think generally it went ok for me, but as you say - it's just sort of there in the background.

This is 100% truth and I'm living it. I wish I could give you 1000 stars.

I am pre-ordering NOW!

“I’m very sorry that what I thought were light-hearted ironic remarks were taken so seriously, and I’m very sorry if people took offense. I certainly did not mean to demean women, but rather be honest about my own shortcomings,”

No, I've always earned more than him. The study is still bullshit.

I’m sorry you went through that, definitely should have factored in the option that the cheating spouse is just a jerk who wants out, or wants variety, again - jerk.

Well good for you, get back to me after your spouse cheats on you and let me know how you feel then.

It is in the top 3 worst fucking things that can happen to you in an exclusive marriage. If you want to measure happiness in open marriages that's a whole nother topic.
