I think that every single part of this story is just 'yuck'. There isn't really a good way that it can be spun.

I can feel the self esteem of many men deflating as we speak.

I refuse to accept any apology until it is properly capitalized.

Easy, Limbaugh. A handful of vicodin will make you feel better.

Humans are also killing bird habitats, in addition to outdoor cats. Also I would argue that humans are ultimately responsible for the birds their cats kill, since we let them out. I am not going to get mad at a cat for doing what it was built for.

They are killing endangered species, though. They have become a huge worry in places with delicate ecosystems, but even in the US they're decimating a number of species. It doesn't really fall to the "natural cycle of life" when there are so very, very many cats out there that are protected by their human companions,…

They kill regardless of need and yes it is extremely harmful for the environment and the cats. Even farms in my area don't want the farm cats outdoors all the time. It's natural instincts for the cats to hunt but that doesn't mean that the rest of the environment can survive the unnecessary dead animals in the…

I am also all for the utter annihilation of "hubby".

I know I will come across as a killjoy because I can appreciate this article is hyperbole... but how about we don't "purge" the English language of any words, or "ban" any phrases? The English language is so awesome in its continual evolution, in its multitudes of words, in its insanely elegant grammar rules. How…

Can people please stop calling their husbands "hubby?" That would be great, thanks.

I think men are fundamentally wired to make strange gender essentialist arguments. If any men comment on this post to tell me otherwise, I will assume they are outliers or just plain liars.

Can we institute a ban on people who don't have a PHD and several peer-reviewed published works in the field of genetics using any phrase along the lines of "X is/isn't wired that way"?

You exist but you are a mutant. Big difference.

That makes two of us.

Bonus: Don't assume your partner, either gender, will automatically conform to these ways of conversing. Better, don't assume these suggestions are for only men or only women. No one should throw advice around all the time, everyone could do with a little prodding on how they want to be responded to.
