"He may have a penis, but he isn't going to sign a check with it." will now be my automatic response for as many situations in life as possible. Thank you.

The study authors don't believe this is blatant sexism — male mechanics aren't standing around twirling their mustaches and giggling about how dumb women are — it's just that the shops believe that women know less about cars and car repair, and thus get a higher quote.

Oh man, thank you for posting - didn't see this when it aired. Wonderful.

Hopefully, women who rallied against this ad were writing about it with their BIC Cristal For Her pens: http://www.amazon.com/BIC-Cristal-1-…

As a shy and nervous interviewee, I've found that it helps me to practice answers to likely questions ahead of time. Helps me figure out what points I should include, and saying it aloud makes me more comfortable later. Then I write down the answers to help me remember them later, plus I can read them later.

That's a good point - I think rehabilitation is important, and certainly the current prison system doesn't promote rehabilitation enough.

Fair, there needs to be a consistent, rational line for when to try a defendant as an adult. Age as a general representation of mental capacity and maturity seems like the least arbitrary way to go.

Don't do anything you wouldn't want your mother - or millions of other people - reading on the front page of the paper the next morning.

Their brains may not be fully developed, but they were born with hearts. I'm not sure when those died, but apparently before age 16.

Some tips from an online safety POV:

Would you guys be saying this if the alleged were a woman?

Thanks so much for your broad stroke comment! I was thinking about how I feel about my body and sex, but then you set me straight by bringing in Leonardo da Vinci. For a second there, I thought that an individual, male or female, has the right to feel what they feel without it automatically being invalidated by a…

@hello.kitty: I like the two boats metaphor a lot, thanks for sharing it with this twinkie. =)
