You didn’t ask a question, other than “you know?” Oh, and the red herring about Sarah Palin. I suspect that the original discussion didn’t quite go the way you’ve described, because we are certainly innundated with men telling us we’re doing feminism wrong. The general response is that it’s not up for men to tell us…

No, he’s not asking women to define it. He’s stating his opinion on a couple of subjects. One, he thinks women shouldn’t call themselves feminists if they read fashion magazines. And two, he thinks it’s intellectually lazy for women to tell him he doesn’t get to define feminism, because it should “have standards.” The…

Wait, your child is so tiny that she can lie under your seat and only take up 2” of someone else’s space, but she’s also so tall that if you put her in a car seat in the seat next to you, her legs would be long enough to kick the seat in front of her? Is your daughter magic? Is there some break in the space time…

Yeah, I don’t think everyone should have to move to the middle to accommodate the folks who show up later. Also, some of us sit on the end because we have mobility issues, even though we look perfectly fit. So we may not be able to pop up and down as fast as you’d like and that “stank face" may be pain. Generally,…

Yes, it is. It’s exactly like that. Interfering with the flight crew by refusing to follow instructions, whether that’s refusing to turn off your phone or refusing to store your luggage as instructed, is a violation of federal law. And the FAA has given the airlines almost unlimited license to interpret the definition…

Except she flat out accuses Lilith of “stepping on the glory of my wedding” and keeping her from upstaging Lilith’s wedding. Given this level of animosity, maybe Dad and Lilith did plan their wedding to take advantage of her absence, for good reason.

It does. It’s very confusing.

Ugh. I just had a run-in like this with someone today. She wanted to “share her life-changing discovery” with members of a support group we’re in. When she was called on it (hello? Support groups are for support, not to provide you with a captive marketing audience), we got treated to a lecture on our boring 9 to 5…

Wow, so basically you’re a nurse. And someone else who’s a nurse in a program that you’ve never attended in a state you may have never visited, has an experience that’s different from yours. How is this not like “I’m a police officer in Bug Tussle, Oklahoma, where we have never shot a single black person. Ergo, no…

This line of comments sounds very much like a 1990 discussion between Catholics about whether Father touched those altar boys.

Do you teach nursing at Valencia College? If not, you’re not in any more of a position to call bullshit on this than any other person reading it. And if you DO teach nursing at Valencia College, you’re not in a position to call bullshit on anyone ever.

Wow, that is an interesting perspective. Given that you had ONE tv ultrasound as what was presumably a medically indicated procedure in a private environment and these women had unnecessary weekly ones in front of their classmates, do you think maybe your experience was a bit different? Also, students in medical…

Well, sir, you would lose that bet. Maybe you should just stick to bragging what a cool guy you are, not minding if your partner has sexual experience.

That you can’t run away very fast.

Or you THINK it’s easier to reverse engineer. Given your condescending attitude here, it’d be pretty funny if your wife were like me and had most of her sex partners before age 20.

I know what a transvaginal ultrasound IS; they’re just not done here as part of preventative medical care. It’s viewed as an extremely invasive procedure, for one thing. For another, unnecessary testing is increasingly seen as detrimental — even if the test itself doesn’t have risks, there’re risks from false…

No, we don’t have ultrasounds during well woman exams in the US. Do you live in Lichtenstein or something? I’ve never heard of that as part of routine medical care.

Fair enough. I’ve spent enough time representing people whose disabilities are less “acceptable” that I tend to back off when a casual acquaintance gives a medical explanation that doesn’t make sense. It’s amazing the number of clients I had tell me they couldn’t work because of back injuries which were treated with…

“This attitude that you are happy despite society is destructive and harmful and needs to stop.”

I realize you’re a troll and not a doctor and have never seen the inside of a first class aircraft cabin, but there’s a point that you’ve made very clearly here. You hate fat people. And so you think you’re entitled to harass them and express your anger in any environment that might be in any way empowering to them.…
