That's a great point. GREAT POINT.

I live in Georgia, I am right there with you. That's an interesting idea, re: Brown v. Board of Education.

Wow, what an ass.

It's odd that teachers don't know what to do with kids who read and write above grade level. It's not that uncommon.

I heard similar from profs back in the day.

No kidding. It's called school, yo. Deadlines pile up and overlap all the time. You know where else that happens? REAL LIFE. What, am I supposed to tell my boss I couldn't get that article for him this week because I had a deadline for another department? That would go over SO WELL NO IT WOULDN'T.

Atlanta. They film EVERYTHING here. Well, everything that's not being filmed in NY, LA, or NOLA.

He's qualifying his apology with excuses. That's not OK. Period. Own your shit, kid.

Nope, other Luke! He's some bigwig country star, like a Tim McGraw mold. I think his name is Luke, too.

I went to school in Nashville, and they used to take our university parking (for which we paid DEARLY) for CMAs, often with little to no warning. Kids would walk out of class to find their cars towed. It was the worst.

Wait, what? Liam is taking over the Daario Naharis role? I love Liam on Nashville, I really, really do (so much sexier than that Luke Cowboy Hat who's currently smooching on Rayna), but I was super into last season's Daario. WTF, Game of Thrones? You take Khal Drogo away from me (thank god he lives in my city and…

I hate Lucy Hale's dress, and Carrie Underwood's is awful as well. Robin Roberts' outfit is perfection. I actually like Miranda's look - it's still Miranda's prom-my thing, but with some edge and a little more polish than usual. I love love love Jana Kramer's dress (I have no idea who she is, but I want her dress),…

"All of the ultras can hang out together and steep in their shared hatred of anything with a penis, pushing away those of us that agree that there's some fucked up shit going down on our side of the gender aisle ..."

Haha, Jez is so not ultrafeminist. If anything, Jez is kind of feminism-lite. I'm not in your shoes so I don't understand how daunting it could be for a man to comment, but remember that there is a very real power divide between men and women that is reinforced in ways both casual and formal, but pretty much always…

I love that line. But my fear is that you'd ask your average, everyday casual sexist (not conscious sexist or misogynist, just, you know, the kind who has absorbed patriarchal culture without really thinking about it) if women are people and s/he'd be like, "Of course women are people!" You have to ask follow-up…

I know. I feel sick.

Nope, been commenting almost since it was launched! I used to be a starred commenter with several COTDs, in the days of yore. The story that hooked me was Moe's lost tampon journey.

WHO SHOOTS AN UNARMED PERSON IN THE HEAD???? I mean, I know the answer, but fuck.

Not something I've noticed, but I'll certainly be on the lookout. Criticizing a man is not man-hating, just like criticizing a woman isn't anti-woman. It's just not being down with what a particular person is doing/representing. Does politics play into that? Sure. But it is not broad-stroke-painting hatred.

Well now I feel validated. And also weirdly sad.
