I know. That’s why I made sure you had that study. I’ve been watching it since it was 12 years old, around the time my dairy farming relatives went to organic. The difference in their soils, drought resistance, economics and cost basis were phenomenal (not less work mind you, but remove a $8K-10K vet bill every month,…

Well, thanks for the good fight, but this is one of those labeling issues that even when you define what you really mean, people bring their own meaning to the argument. GMO’s is another classic in that respect. Here’s something that you might want to use - it’s an amazing 30 year side by side organic/conventional…

Oh, of course. It’s happening everywhere. They buy just for the investment, deck it out in the most lavish furnishings to maybe use whenever they’re in town, and then sell a few years later to reap millions in profit. Sickening...

Thank you, pinkie, for your repeated posts and for making this all about you rather than a remembrance of the feminist struggle. Buried here is a clue about why people react to you as they do. Buy it.

I never said it was about me. It's something I've run across now that I'm not working and just wondering out loud wtf is wrong with the people that react the way they do.

Do you think using a gendered slur like “bitchy” to describe women who you feel don’t give you enough support for your life choices is helping your case?

omg

No one enjoys being judged, so I understand why you would complain about that. What I don't understand is why people like you also seem to want to hear that what you do is a feminist act because you're doing it by choice and not just because you have to. It's cool that you get to do what you want but you can't get…

I think you’re kind of missing the point on this particular article. The point is you had the choice. You like doing that stuff? Awesome! That’s great that you are able to live a life where you can do it, and yes, you should be able to live that life without judgment. I understand you dislike the mocking or rolled…

I’m not sure why some feminists feel the need to mock domestic things like ironing, cooking, baking, etc.

I think historians for a time (and maybe still) used the phrase “AmerIndian” to refer to Native Americans. My 10th grade history teacher was the kind of teacher who should’ve been a college professor (he made us read these way-over-our-heads academic history texts) and he used that sometimes.

I write reports that have to be approved by a large council of various federally recognized tribes, and the preferred nomenclature is currently American Indian, in the state of Georgia. I’m not sure if it’s the same in California, but that’s what’s required/expected here. I’m not quite sure on the reasoning, but that…

No, its about ethics in game journalism.

I have Adblock on, so I don’t know, who sponsors and/or owns Gawker Media?

Nice to meet you too!

This. Do this. Adrienne would HATE IT!! Turn this negative into a positive.

In a commune, everyone can have their own space; that’s common for ecovillages, too.

Ok, have at me. I have a son who was conceived using anonymous donor sperm. He’s not talking yet, so we can’t ask him his opinion about “denying him his full sense of self and identity, with anonymous genetic material”. I’ve printed off all of the donor material that was made available to me from the sperm bank,…

I had one child with my ex, and we divorced when she was 2. As I approached 40, I knew I wanted another child. I used a donor from a sperm bank, and I have a fantastic son who is about to turn 1.

You can do it! A few things I have learned.
