Wait a minute: the entire point of this article is that Germany is a country where legally women are not sufficiently protected from physical assault on public, men seem to be aware of this fact, and German men have taken advantage of this loophole, if you will, on many occasions. The culture in countries of origin of…

It mandates that women be required to bury or cremate the fetus post-termination

Does “disability of the fetus” include things like “my baby doesn’t have a brain” or “my baby has a deformity that will lead to immediate death upon birth” because, ummm, fuck Indiana

I thought all abortions were based on the same thing. A woman’s right to have one.

Dear Bride,

Hey, everybody! Forget this. Let’s go see Deadpool again!

It is a conversation ... and you said a dumbass thing. You can pretend you didn’t, but we can all see it.

Oh yes, I’m sure women who want to keep their own names—they names that have been theirs since birth—have never CONSIDERED that surnames are generally patrilineal! That’s insulting as fuck, dude.

EXACTLY. “Your” name is yours because you’ve carried it your whole life, whether or not it was also your father’s name. (My last name happens to be a hybrid of my mother’s and father’s, and it is no less MY name.) Arguing that it’s NBD for women to change their names because it’s some man’s name anyway just assumes…

I see this argument a lot (the one you’re responding to) and it’s so annoying. It’s the last name I've always had! It's on my degrees and everything I've published and all my sweatshirts from high school and on and on. Unless you get married at like six, you have a personal and professional identity with your surname,…

It’s not about defining yourself with a man’s name. It’s about keeping an identity. It’s about, as Hannah said above, being proud of your individuality. I’ve had my name for 40 years. It’s mine, as much as it is anyone else’s. And to change it just because I got married seems to undercut my independence.

You act like he has lots of options. I don't think this was some bidding war. He's lucky not to be toiling away in the CFL with Manziel next year.

Hey America, even if you don’t see it, billions of us will because we are now the target market for these movies.

I never got that mentality... if you’re only interested in the exciting visuals, why see a movie at all? You could just wait until someone uploads all the fight scenes and watch them on Youtube. If I’m actually going to go watch a film I’d like for the story to at least not be so bad that it distracts me from enjoying…

If you thought Age of Ultron was bad then I’d wager you’ll poke your eyes out with rusty spoons by the end of this one.

Same... while I have sympathy for what he’s going though, I was real interested to read the comments on this piece. Living the life of a starving artist is an okay choice to make if it’s just affecting you, but in this case? And affecting your kids for so long?? At what point are you damaging your kids to fulfill a…

No I saw that too but that’s like two things. You telling me the ONLY non-writing jobs he could get was UPS or pot farming? If true, then fine I guess. But that’s not what he says. He doesn’t say he’s been sending out 50 resumes a week to regular jobs and can’t get hired. He just mentions writing and these two random…

Me, as a child-support paying divorced mom with 50/50 physical custody, who still buys school uniforms and new shoes and haircuts for my kids because my ex-husband won’t.

I’m probably being a huge asshole but I have trouble understanding how the non-custodial parents not paying child support are the victims here.

What'd I'd like to know is how the mothers of your children were keeping it together all this time.
