I’ve been thinking, also, a lot about gun ownership.

I think that is the entire point. Everyone’s a responsible driver, until they aren’t. Everyone’s a responsible parent, until they aren’t. Everyone’s a responsible drunk, until they aren’t. I really see absolutely zero flaw with that argument....

the gun Sheats used to kill her daughters was a “family heirloom,” inherited from her great-grandfather to protect her family. Her daughters will be buried this week in Alabama.

Yeesh. I clicked over to the Daily Fail link, and yep, they look like a disaster.

Bouchard continued, “Yeah, I don’t know. Nike didn’t give me any other talking points for this dumb dress shirt thing. It’s easy to move around in, which I love — I hate tennis clothes that bind my arms to my sides or hobble my legs. I think the dress is really nice, and I also think it was nice of Nike, my corporate…

I don’t throw the s word around lightly but this dress is fucking sexist and I hate it. These women are athletes, not sleepy baby dolls.

“It’s nice” is usually what I say about things I don’t really like but feel like I should try to be at least slightly positive about for the sake of others feelings.

First thing I thought of, lol. Jesus, though, can’t they just let these amazing female athletes just be athletes? They’re competing in tennis not pouring goddamn tea.

I’m sure most of them don’t give a shit (my brother is one of those, as is my cousin), but it’s undeniable that anytime there is some new change like this being made there are plenty of Marines who care enough to bitch about it online (a friend of mine does this all the fucking time). So sure, most likely don’t care.…

I’ve noticed a lot of the time when it’s like ‘the damn sjw crybabies’ it’s like ‘I swear I’ve heard more complaining from the people complaining about the ‘sjw crybabies’ than the people bringing up the issue

Sort of, it’s more my sister and her in-laws. But yeah.

I genuinely laughed out loud at that quote. He doesn’t even realize that the cry baby culture he’s talking about is literally himself and all the other men who can’t deal with a job title unless is quite literally has the word MAN. Maybe he would prefer if we called it the crymen culture?

I always have to laugh at the type of response that amounts to “x group are crybabies that can’t handle shit” and meanwhile can’t see how ridiculous it is that they are so upset and aggrieved over the issue/ change themselves. So, you are a little crybaby bitch, too, right? Like if the name is such an unimportant,…

I think he’s an idiot, but according to this article, not as much of an idiot as circumstances seem to suggest:

Or maybe a small team could take a chopper out there and destroy the nuisance. No bus: no problem.

It’s the kind of usage that makes any reasonably well educated person cringe inside. And I’ve never encountered a male who referred to women as “females” who wasn’t an idiot misogynist.

I tried to explain this to my sister when she spent 30 minutes telling me how profound this book was and how it changed her life and she could totally do what he did and just leave everything behind to go into the wild. Pretty sure she didn’t finish the book before saying all that. Also, she is the person who made us…

There is a reason the Into the Wild guy died. He wasn't smart about going into the wildness and it got him. People shouldn't be following his example.

Oh, I don’t disagree at all! And the bulk of my annoyance with the study stems from the misinterpretations it will inevitably lead to.

Because studies like ones that say men spend more time doing paid work than women and that women spend more time doing housework than men almost always lead to misleading headlines—like the ones I linked above.
