I'd argue that expressing our distaste for the "jokes" made by the host isn't nitpicking, it's a way to solve the issue of sexism still being acceptable as long as it's made into a joke. There is such a thing as truth in humor, and public outcry is the best way, IMO, to let the powers that be know that what MacFarlane…

To reiterate my reply to another commenter:

Noooooooo!

Maybe it was just a weird "We just starred in a movie together, we can't wear similar dresses to an awards ceremony in case we have to appear together" thing?

They're not piglets, and I'm not sure what they have on their backs, but here you go. Irish pigs racing. To raise money for cancer research.

Where do you live? Only psychologists/psychiatrists are licensed to diagnose mental illnesses in the United States. Social workers can provide therapy, but can't conduct psychological testing or make diagnoses.

Bravo.

Does she want to be a doctor who is also a monster, or a doctor who cures monsters? Inquiring minds want to know.

Also, please note the disparity in references. "Us men" vs. (or verses, as Zach would have it) "You ladies" and "girls"

OMG. That is amazing. "Profanities like a purring kitten."

If you can't see the difference between an 18 year old-male or female-having a sexual relationship with someone old enough to be their parent, with all the power imbalances that would entail, and readers of a particular website commenting on a poorly written and problematic op-ed that has been posted for public…

Wouldn't the assailant just be able to stomp the watch into pieces and take the victim to another location?

Yeah, that article and its nonchalant tone are beyond fucked. Everyone would rightfully flip out if an article like that was written about men, so why the hell is Jez posting an article about domestic violence that states "It'd be wise to never ever fuck with us"?

I was once in a situation where I thought I was going to be raped. (Taxi ride in Binghamton, cabbie asked a series of increasingly intrusive, creepy questions, then pulled over into an abandoned parking lot. At 11 PM) Luckily, nothing happened, but I was terrified beyond all action. If he had tried to do anything,…

I agree with this, but I think it's important to pick your battles. A conservative former coworker posted a status almost immediately after Newtown about how she didn't want to hear about gun control. I didn't bother engaging-I unfriended. Because seriously? That's beyond gross.

A.) That picture is totally gross-it looks like he's trying to pick up whoever's taking it.

I guess the last line of the article went right over her head. "Reasonable people learn to ignore the baby because the crying baby is all part of the flying experience, but there are those few entitled creeps sprinkled throughout the air-going population who just can't help but express how inconvenienced they are…

Unfortunately, Coca-Cola as a company kind of sucks when it comes to racial equality. I doubt he was that quiet about it, of course he didn't broadcast it to the world.

I never said that you said overreactions were acceptable, I said that overreactions were acceptable responses pushed to extremes. It's not fair to call an assault an overreaction, because an assault ≠ an overly strong response. It's a criminal action.
