I enjoy Peroni. It's definitely better than Stella. I can't recall the last time I've bought a 6-pack of it but when I'm out at a place that has limited beer options I'll get it and I'm never disappointed by it.

Eh. I've heard a lot of hype about Fat Tire over the years and finally bought a 6-pack to see what it was all about. I really enjoyed it and bought another 6 the following week. I can't see it becoming one of my favorites or something that I purchase regularly, but it's definitely good.

Peroni.

The only thing that can stop a bad guy with MMA training.

I'm a guy and thus don't get invited to bridal showers, so your suggestion doesn't work for me.

I'm not sure what you're saying then. The only who would be offended that a couple is asking for cash instead of gifts are the same people who care enough to put thought into the gifts. The rest of the people don't care either way.

That's pretty judgmental. Giving cash feels very impersonal to some people. Many folks like to put a lot of though into their gifts and get something really unique the couple can appreciate and get a lot of use out of. Surely you can understand and appreciate that.

Um, no. He's still wrong. "Preventative measures" is bullshit.

You're half right. They need to spend less time making spreadsheets and more time communicating open and honestly with each other about their relationship.

I think it's your monitor. Depending on the angle of my laptop screen I can't see either.

You can clearly see some type of undergarment. Look closely and follow the line with your eye, you can see it curve up and to the left and continue underneath the dress.

I could have been more clear. I meant the perception of radical feminism as perpetuated by those in positions of power who are afraid to lose it. I've spoken to countless people who's perception of feminism is the stereotypical short haired, braless, man-hater. That perception wasn't created solely by anti-feminists,

I'm outraged about racism too, but there was no racist content in Stein's essay. This is why people are confused by your statement, if anything it feel like a non-sequitur.

"I didn't expect anything from her. Hugging and kissing doesn't mean I wanted to f–k her."

To me, her abhorrent personality is exactly what makes her so unattractive.

You're correct, the statement is about empowering Willow to consent to only things she wants to do and not be coerced into things she is not comfortable with, and there's nothing wrong with the core concept of that notion. It gets problematic with the examples she gives. Rape is not often a "yes" or "no" scenario. You

You've really touched on some excellent points here. I was leaning toward her statement being more innocent but you've done a good job of pointing out why it's problematic. Thanks for posting, I like reading stuff like this and gaining insight into complex issues.

Also a good point.

"how did the idea that feminism was somehow "dangerous" gain any traction?"

Nevermind, after actually looking through that website there's clearly no rationalizing with those people.
