Thank you. I don't think this is a woman/man issue at all. And thank you for reminding us of the Brokaw debacle. That debate was kind of a mess, so having a moderator moderate rather than mixing it up might be a bit refreshing. Town halls are intended to let the audience see the debaters as themselves.

I think everyone is vastly underestimating the town hall format. Follow up questions won't be allowed from audience members, the moderator, or even the other candidate. HOWEVER, the responses can be very effective. "The President just spoke about X and Y, but what he didn't mention was Z. Z is one of the most…

Really, how can high schoolers be blamed for thinking that black domestic violence is funny? It's comedy gold!

It depends on the office. Some places (like my office) are complete fashion shows. Hair, makeup, clothes, purses are (seemingly) expected to be top notch. I can't play that game— not enough money, time, or fucks to give about fashion.

Yep. Where the hell does 99 years come from? 10-15 years at the outside would have been appropriate.

EXCESSIVE. Yes, what this woman did was reprehensible, but murderers get less time. Jerry Sandusky got less time. Moms who harm their children get treated way worse than even strangers who hurt kids.

Wait, is she saying that people should *not* be upset about the Mitt Romney photo since they weren't upset about her photos a few years ago? I'm not getting the sexism angle.

It's disconcerting to see actors play different roles on any of the L&O shows. The captain in the 2011 iteration of Criminal Intent played a hit man in Season 2. I can't help but think, "But Goren! He's a hit man! You put him away! Don't you recognize him?"

Haha! I have a high school friend who was on a couple of episodes. That show has paid a lot of actors' bills in New York.

You'd support Romney in spite of the fact that he won't explain his agenda in detail, won't release his tax returns, won't explain how his tax plan works, won't explain his healthcare plans, won't explain how he'll create jobs, is openly hostile to women's reproductive rights, and has already said that he doesn't care…

Did I mention what they were wearing or the expression on their faces?

Right? What was I thinking, asking women to be vigilant about their safety? Silly me.

It's actually much, much, much more dangerous to get into a car than be out on a street alone. The car confines and can take the victim anywhere. The street at least has some possibility of witnesses.

Absolutely. Thank you. And my mom would have had exactly the same responses!

Oh, thank you. You get me. THANK YOU!!!

I thought the article does a pretty good job of picking apart why the boys are in the wrong. As a woman and a woman who cares about women, I was alarmed by the fact that women would get into cars with strangers. I don't know why that's a radical thought.

Well, okay then.

I'VE NEVER MADE EVEN ONE MISTAKE!!!

No, I think it's wonderful when parents teach their boys to be respectful and law-abiding. I also think it's outstanding when parents teach their girls that they have responsibility for their safety and for their bodies. I think it's empowering when parents teach their girls that they are the sole owners of their…

Yes, I'm blaming the women for not having better judgment about getting into a carload of men. I'm also blaming the men for being assholes. The men need to take responsibility for their assholery. The woman has to take responsibility for her own safety.
