And if they go ahead and delete this story I promise to pretend I didn't read it.

I could do one night of 'uppity feminist submits to dominant cowboy' role-play, but there's no way I could find that exciting enough to sign on for all the subsequent bacon preparation and sock-washing.

Wow. So that's probably a really awkward afterword for the paperback edition.

No, feminism is not about blindly endorsing the personal choices of women because they need affirmation. Feminism is about advocating for equality for women and opposing the institutionalized oppression of same. Hence, when a woman endorses oppression she gets push-back on that idea. Got it?

Whose odds on rape would you rather have; a man's or a woman's?

The world is on top of a gun on the shoulders of four guns... and then it's just guns all the way down.

"...five more were injured (including 3 state troopers)"

That party can start right now! I am barely containing myself from telling you, at length, about the design on my wedding band, and how little we spent, and what it *means*, and how much better that is than a corporate symbol, and and and... I may faint.

It's kind of sweet that two (funny, talented) people with similar retrograde views on 'the essential difference between the sexes' found each other, but I wish they'd stop pretending their experience is universal. I've never even visited Venus, and my husband couldn't find Mars on a map. I swear.

It explained the whole problem to me pretty clearly. I had wondered why I didn't identify with his characters at all, and it turns out it's because my husband and I are both from Earth. Go figure!

And remember, many of the searches for MRA sites are undertaken by social rights activists who oppose MRA goals.

Hey Ivan. In the '70s, when I was wee, my father and mother divorced. My father took my mother to court for child support of my older sister, who lived with him at the time. Although my mother had custody of two of their children and my father had custody of one, the judge believed my father's petition that he was…

Our one year subscription to Dwell mysteriously lasted for around five years. My theory was that the magazine needed the illusion of a strong subscriber base in order to justify charging high rates for advertising. Or maybe they just forgot to stop mailing it out? At any rate, a deeply boring magazine.

What makes you think this is a productive response to this article? Women in Ireland need much stronger advocacy than this.

Michel as the token gay... of course. I always think of Taylor as the token gay, and what both those characters have in common is that they are caricatures AND they are not allowed to be openly gay. I love Gilmore Girls, but the show did have some problems.

If men constitutionally can't keep themselves from raping their combat compatriots, maybe men should be barred from combat completely. Certainly you've made a terrific argument that men shouldn't be allowed to be army rangers.

And Michel.

You'd be surprised how simple and quick it is to pee in the wilderness. You'd be surprised how easy it is to use the same cloths over and over again for period control.

So standardize it.

Sexists are often just as negative about men as they are about women. Maybe when he says the presence of women will degrade the quality of Rangers he's also talking about men losing sight of their mission in favor of caveman antics. Ridiculous as that would be, I've seen those kinds of arguments before. You can't…
