When we have anywhere even remotely close to equal representation THEN I will believe that all the people who are currently claiming they really truly are passionate about voting for competent, progressive women (but just not this one) really mean it. But my friend, we are a LONG way from meeting that threshold so I’m…

In all the times I have seen this “I’d vote for a woman, just not THIS woman” argument pop up in the comments, I have never seen anyone use any other woman than Elizabeth Warren. Who I get, because I like her too. But This argument would be a hell of a lot more persuasive if people seemed to be aware that we have more…

Yeah, I’m not getting on the team were we glorify some guy who took his grand daughters around to stalk a b list celebrity outside clubs, apparently multiple times. That’s just plain bad grand parenting.

If you’re going to butcher any Heart sing, it should be “all I wanna do is make love to you.” The greatest power ballad ever written about getting knocked up by some hobo you found on the side of the road and writing him poetry about flowers.

This is great and all, but I’m kind of floored that it took 25 years for it to occur to someone to threaten a lawsuit and when it was threatened the response was “oh, okey dokey then, here’s your abortions!” On both ends, that’s the exact opposite of how things go down in the us.

A few years ago, we got one of those awesomely tacky 70's era entertainment units made in communist east Berlin with an 8 track built in. So obviously, we wanted to buy some 8 tracks. And that’s when I learned that it’ll run you like 40 bucks on eBay for the Steve Miller Band in a format that is now only a kitschy…

“But then, that leaves Cruz”

I just hope they don't discontinue the cat bus. Or at least find it a no kill shelter.

Good thing she was in Japan not the US, right?

Well, i’d say there’s probably about a 100% possibility that every single one of that guy Matthew Steven Smith’s followers are following him just to jack it. This seems like a lot of work just to masturbate to me, but then, I don’t really get these young people things anymore.

This isn’t really in response to you, but I’m gonna write it here here rather than to one of my more troll-y responses. I just want liberals to have more conversations where we actually try to understand issues in all their messiness and honestly discuss solutions rather than throwing around talking points. Bernie…

I think the funniest part of this fruitless argument we are having is that one of the directors of the study you posted is listed as an interviewee in the study I posted and that they cite the same sources. Because they’re largely talking about the same stuff. In fact your study specifically says “The only significant…

You know we don’t have a parliamentary system, right? Just checking.

I went down a bit of a study wormhole a couple weeks ago because I wanted to better understand how campaign finance might effect women. My comment is kind of cobbled together from a couple of them. Below is the one I started on and actually bothered to book mark, but there’s additional references in the study, so you…

I read an interesting political science study recently that one of the reasons the US may have better than average female participation in elected office (and let’s all pause to feel some sads that our piss poor 20% congressional seats is better than average) may be precisely because we have large female focused super…

We saw the Hangover II while we were in Bangkok because we are ridiculous people and OMG, did you know they have heated vibrating reclining leather love seats with cocktail service over there? I kind of can’t even with the American movie experience now that I know what other countries have.

These things are pervasive, kids pick them up. You just have to keep repeating and repeating until eventually they get it. This will probably take decades. Raising good people is a marathon, not a sprint!

I can’t believe no one’s going for the far more obvious St Francis analogy here. And I say that as a Hillary supporter. I mean, it’s RIGHT there!

I used to work for a company that administered guardianships and trusts primarily for disabled individuals. A significant percentage of parents of severely disabled children just can’t deal with it. A significant percentage of disabled children get abandoned, neglected, or abused as a result. And the really depressing…

Yeah, that was what I was wondering. Seems like they just took the option of abortion in a case when there’s something seriously wrong that could potentially cause the baby to suffer and die after birth and potentially also kill the woman right off the table. These people are grotesque.
