Yeah, I guess I wasn’t really keyed to it until after the superbowl. And then suddenly the crazies came out about how dare she sing a song and wear clothes that were a tribute to black people. And then everyone turned it into her being anti-police. It really just goes to show how prejudiced our society still is that…

Many people thing that it’s ridiculous to let politics to get in the way of friendships or relationships but I think politics are actually too important not to be discussed.

In 1940, my grandparents got married. It was the first marriage, and first real relationship, for both of them.

This is why watching the Republican debates makes me sick to my stomach. When they trot out their hatred of Obama with all their variants on “this man continues to ruin our country.” I just want to vomit. Have we ever had a President that displayed so much...humanity? He has more humanity in his pinkie nail than they…

Why can’t men accept impotence as what it so very clearly is? God’s will for them.

That is a rad story. I bet if Ellen heard it, she would be proud.

While I agree that Ellen has done more, you're ignoring the fact that Obama appointed Sotomayor and Kagan to the Supreme Court. Without them, or worse, with two more conservative judges in their places, you would have seen a very different outcome.

Ellen is interwoven for me with my own coming out. My parents were both fans of her sitcom, and had been watching up to that point, and I knew it. I, fourteen, read in the newspaper about how she was a lesbian, and was coming out on her show, and how big a deal this was.

And for people who are too young, she faced a firestorm for having come out; people demanded she be fired, certain radio hosts called her “Ellen Degenerate” and considered themselves fiendishly clever, and she was basically shunned by craven networks who feared losing their audiences.

And since you aren't famous you'd be arrested for it.

Damn I’m gonna miss him.

No you don’t get to steal people’s possessions because they were rude.

She is a wizard. Fo Sho.

Because some asshole pro-lifer will make the rounds of dr.s offices pretending she wants an abortion, and rat out the doctors who don’t comply with the letter of the law. She will describe this as her Holy Duty.

There’s no way to ever correct it if you later decide, ‘I wish I hadn’t done that.’ It’s too late.”

This is why it is so important to vote in your local elections.

Do these people even hear what they’re saying? Yeah, because women are too damned stupid to figure out that an abortion isn’t reversable. Because they haven’t thought about it at all, they just showed up on a whim. “Hey, I’m not doing anything, why not get an abortion? I can always change my mind later.” Happens every…

Shout out to Rep. Marzian who responded by introducing a bill mandating counseling followed by a 24 hour waiting period, and requirements for both a note from his wife and a sworn statement with his hand on a Bible that he will only have marital sex before Kentucky men can be issued Viagra.

This speaks volumes about the university, but all I can think about are those poor high school students. They must be so traumatized by this. I hope that other colleges see this and reach out to those students.

I look around my office (not academia but a legal job) and I see this issue over and over and over again. At the junior associate (entry) level, we are almost exactly 50% women attorneys. For people who are 10+ years into their career, and it’s maybe 20% women attorneys. The successful men have 2-4 kids and spouses…
