Either you've never read anyth———-wait, no, that doesn't work, because that way you'd be defending a rapist just on the basis of him being a dude.

Bush: so inadequate a prez that an inanimate object nearly assassinated him.

I'll keep my "outrage" where it is, thanks.

So you're arguing——-sans proof———that keeping working parents unhappy———often times inhumanely———is worth small differences in productivity? Greed; still not a virtue.

Really? That was one thing I hadn't heard. Of course, PPD/PPP isn't recognized at all in the US the way it is in Europe.

The problem is, boys also get told that even though they have these issues, they're still entitled to hot babes. TV is full of that scenario, thanks to an almost-all male industry. Those negative stereotypes of men often serve as an excuse to justify foisting all the responsibility on women. If boys and men, for…

Because capitalism! Otherwise the<i> terrarists</i> win. The free market. Er.....something....something....Ayn Rand?

Maybe if the US had decent post-natal policies like other countries, neither parent would get depressed. Well, if we had ANY post-natal leave at all, because it's practically non-existent for mothers, much less dads. And what we do have is mostly unpaid. Can't have new parents bonding with the baby, can we?

It seems girls get studied more, while boys are sort of assumed to be fine. Which isn't to say that boys don't have problems but.....did you see that recent poll that found that MRAs are mostly young, male, white, vaguely libertarian, and so on? That's slightly older than the age range here, I believe, but…

Interesting that this involved a girl. I always had the feeling that boys were more shielded from it than were girls. I need to think about this before I comment further.

Nobody's that adorable all the time, right?

He's ridiculously cute. Too cute. He's got to be a serial killer, right?

Not to get too existential, but it would appear we've failed these kids if brute numbers are how they get validation. That's a really bad way of raising one's self esteem.

I mean, they really value the number of "followers"? It's so important that they'll do this? That's amazing to me. I saw something on tumblr the other day and where a person was furious she'd been "unfollowed"——-she had something to track that. And her attitude was....how dare you? Plus attracting people seems to…

Urgh, is that what this is all about?

Yes, but until you post pictures of Tom Hiddleston WITH cats, social media has not yet attained its most sophisticated level. That's the challenge.

There's some medals in the military that amount to, "Congratulations on having a pulse. Here's a medal so you don't look so pathetic."

Which as what to do with this story? Jeez, lots of guys here are afraid of rape charges. Given how few rapists actually get convicted, one has to wonder why they are so determined to shut down any and all searches for rapists?

Why are you incapable of actually READING THE FUCKING STORY?

You're just throwing shit at the wall and hoping it hits, aren't you? Because the shit you're saying has nothing to do with the actual case.
