It seems to me that Lohse is just getting pushed into a title that he doesn't want. It's not so much that he is or isn't a feminist, it's just that feminism was not the point he was trying to make with this book. He was addressing hazing. And while he (rightly) supports the discussion about sexual assault, he

NFL fans are fans of gambling. It is the #1 reason for the NFL's success. You can bet on baseball but it's not for the novice gambler.

As I said when I debated a friend about this in 1998... ahem...

You sure that was not just because you were a kid and as Drew says, everything seems extra nostalgic back then? I think 10 year olds look at Trout like you looked at Griffey and Bonds. But now you are a semi adult so you don't worship guys who can throw and hit quite like you used to do. I think it is just the

Yeah, baseball's way too fucking long!

I disagree. Regular season baseball is supposed to be leisurely. You can flip around channels, check your phone or email, read, whatever with the game in the background on TV. It's not supposed to be NFL intense. It's also a better game live, unlike the NFL.

You'd rather spend money to watch a pitcher, clearly not a professional, stand in the box and flail his bat around? I'm a fan of an NL team, but I would rather watch David Ortiz and Victor Martinez hit any day. Offense is down, and this is the easiest, most straightforward way to fix that.

I'm not sure I buy that as a general rule (though it applies to you).

I am 25, born in 1989. I remember nothing about the strike or or how the owners "wanted" to portray their product. I do remember following the 1998 McGwire/Sosa/GriffeyJr home run chase religiously. I chose number 25 at the age of ten because of what McGwire had done. I also remember my friends and me imitating every

I approve this conversation and have learned from it. God bless you both.

It's a summer suit! What don't people understand about that? He's not a goddamn funeral director.

Vouchers, not dollars. They want her to apply a fucking coupon to her next Southwest flight, and since she probably won't be flying with them ever again Southwest actually paid nothing.

At least they could have given her actual $, instead of travel vouchers. But I do think the company providing the assistance (skycap?) bears the brunt of the responsibility, and hopefully will compensate a whole lot more.

no it's awkward because people like you assume everyone wants to know what your sexual orientation is specifically and that your entire existence should be defined through that.

Yeah, yeah, all disclaimers about how I Am Not the Expert apply. That said, *to me,* it is exactly the same as some white person "coming out" as a POC because they want everyone to know their grandmother is Cherokee. Okay, great. That's part of who you are; embrace it. You do you. But NO, you don't get the

If a happily married close friend or family member one day informed me that he or she were bisexual, but intended to remain monogamous and happily married, I'd say, "Uh, okay, great! And you're telling me this because...?" If you're happy and your spouse is happy, I don't care one way or the other how the exact

I am not saying she should hide it. Should the subject come up, should someone say something inappropriate or bigoted, should she find herself in a position to help, let her say something. But to make an announcement when she has no intention of making it a part of her life seems strange.

Yeah, I'm not so sure the Weston A Price foundation is exactly an unbiased, scientifically valid source for information.

And yet where I come from (=Mediterranean) we use EVOO for everything, including stir-frying and are still alive. It's what we make, so it's the only oil we have at home, and most people with at least a little bit of land make their own here.
