I, too, am a woman who has experienced sexual harassment in the workplace, and I think you need to shut the fuck up. I’m sick to death of this “well women are beaten to death somewhere in the world so stop complaining your smaller problems” bullshit. I can simultaneously be mad about having my professional reputation…

Yeah, your pseudo-intellectual rant has exactly fuck all to do with my point, but thanks for playing.

God, yes. When the giant douche is talking about shit like, for example, overturning Roe v. Wade and banning gay marriage, I get really fucking sick of hearing about how the candidates are “exactly the same.” In a surprise to no one, only straight, white dudes have ever parroted that line to me. Now, I’ve got nothing…

Not me, but a friend: the Tapout logo, like 12” wide, across his back. He did two MMA fights like a million years ago, lost both, and got the tattoo because he thought it might get him a sponsorship from Tapout? Or something?

Yup. A friend of a friend died of the plague back in 2007: http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/health/20…

(Technically, he died of the pneumonic plague, but the only difference between that and the bubonic plague is the location of infection.)

Sort of off topic, but can you speak a bit to your take on the Bruce Lee legacy? I was in the martial arts world for a lot of years, but (a) I left a while back because I was tired of being a girl in a world that so clearly didn’t want me there, and (b) I found a lot of the martial arts “culture” to be kind of...well,…

For real, has this guy ever been on Facebook?

In lieu of a written response, I offer this:

I am relieved that my longterm assessment of Ellen Pompeo as having a totally punchable face has been rewarded. Thanks for that tidbit.

I just wanted to second this article recommendation — reading it was a total eye-opener for me, and I stopped asking how anyone could possibly ever forget a child in the car. Even a small change to your normal routine can throw off your brain in ways that you would not believe. No one thinks it will ever happen to…

Also, ketchup is DISGUSTING. Love tomatoes, haaaaate ketchup. But mustard? Give me all the mustard.

I just read it for the first time recently, and I was really disappointed. It started out feeling complex and interesting, and instead, it got stupidly formulaic around the halfway point.

It got a mention: "A year earlier, he'd run his mouth about Klinsmann's selection policy on Twitter."

I got starred on Jez like, a week before they got rid of stars. Totally not bitter. NOT BITTER AT ALL.

DING DING DING DING. Aaaaaaaand we have a winner.

Bahaha...I'm right there with you. I'm from a town outside Hartford that definitely does NOT have a lacrosse team, so I didn't understand the "OMG SO RICH" thing growing up. Then I drove through New Canaan, and...yeah. I get it, but only kind of. Great swaths of Connecticut are decidedly un-white and un-rich.

Actually, no. The prefix "cis" means "on the side of," as opposed to "trans" which means "across from." Look, I assumed that your first comment was just a misunderstanding and not intentional assholery, and it's quickly becoming clear that I was wrong. I'm having an off day, so you'll have to forgive me for attempting…

First of all, "modifiers" are actually very important in this case. The lived experiences of someone who is transgender and someone who is not are very different. Trans men have some concerns and needs that are not shared by cis men, and the same goes for trans women and cis women.

THANK YOU. To be totally fair, the style standards for UConn (I've been a student here for much longer than I care to admit) do say that UCONN is acceptable, IIRC, but no true blue Huskies fan would ever be caught dead typing it like that.

Cisgender and straight are two entirely different things - the former deals with gender identity, the latter deals with sexual orientation.
