Don't let yourself get hemmed in by actual definitions or anything. 

Not really, no one is actually being held by any specific government. Israel simply refuses them entry to their country and Egypt refuses to allow them in either. While Israel is certainly to blame for a lot of the conditions there they did not create the situation by themselves. If the other Muslim nations would have …

Black folks are rarely afforded the privilege of self defense.

His pregnant wife would have told him not to waste beer while she handed him a battery.

Lucky the game was in Washington. If it were in Philly, the kid would’ve thrown his beer in Sudfeld’s face.

Aria Grande should take 3-6 months, let her PR team run her social media and chill on an island somewhere.  

Which is great and all. But ‘men are scared women will laugh at them; women are scared men will kill them’.

Yeah, just give it to me straight up, no chaser. I am a man, I can handle rejection just fine. I’ll just go home and cry into my pillow uncontrollably afterwards.

See, this is why I can’t hate on people too much for discriminating.

Yeah, I know a ton of men who get embarrassed very quickly around dating. Like, even moreso than the author of this piece seems to be by herself. Not sure if this is a case of “well nobody internalizes things as deeply as me” (which I think is a fairly common and normal way to think) or if these men just don’t get…

Not a dude, but the sweeping generalizations in this piece astound me.

As a guy in the dating world I have always appreciated a definite rejection over gentle redirection.

........I agree. Doesn’t change what I said.
