For some reason I read that as "Damn, 'gina", but in retrospect that almost would be better.

Shuttlecocks, while a member of the fantastic group of words with “-cock” in them, are balls in the same way javelins or Frisbees are balls.

Ironic mansplaining is almost indistinguishable from genuine mansplaining. This is going to expose a lot of people.

The time to make a difference in a party’s platform is long before the presidential election. The primary is certainly part of that process, and Bernie’s shocking level of success speaks to what members of the party want.

My daughter loves My Little Pony and recently discovered fan vids on YouTube. I've got all the controls in place, but I know better than to completely trust the internet to not show my 6-year-old furries and Make It Weird. I've been prepping for this Talk for a few weeks already.

“When's the last time you saw a funky diabetic?"

Gaaaahhhh, punish moar! I'M SO ANGRY!!!!!111!one

These are all questions I’ve answered in earlier posts. I’m not sure what the misunderstanding is.

What do you mean, “What’s the complaint”? If this were anybody other than a “deadbeat dad”, wouldn’t it be obvious what the complaint is? At that point, the garnishment is not a reasonably assessed proportion of his income, like a support cheque. It’s an onerous burden on someone living at poverty level.

“Didn’t like it”? His example was working for $10 an hour and getting 70% of it garnished. Assuming he was working full time, he’s clearing under $500 a month. That’s somewhere south of “unpleasant”, no?

To be honest know what he expects the readers to believe, because it feels like half the story is missing.

To be fair to the author, he never called the system unfair. He called it punitive and counterproductive. Which is true. It's also a complex problem with no simple solution. Someone's always getting the short end of the deal.

I can’t help but notice how the comments are filled with typical right-wing poor-shaming.

It’s a perfectly serviceable pop song. It reminded me of the Be Sharps though: witty at first, but that seems less funny each time you hear it.

Not being Uterine-Canadian, I can’t speak from experience on the issue. But my book-learnin’ tells me that athletes have gone to some fairly extensive measures to control when they get their period to not let it effect their performance. There’s a lack of definitive science, but enough early and anecdotal data to…

If he really wants to hurt her, he should start calling her Meaghan.

Madonna's stage is a giant penis with a cross motif, right? I mean, there's a head, shaft and balls. It's pretty overt.

Sorry for being that guy, but Chlorax sounds like an amazing combination of chlorine, Clorox, and anthrax.

Yes, elite athletes have many issues when it comes to the menstrual cycle. Whether it’s performance during menstruation or the cycle’s interruption with really low body fat (among other factors), elite athletes have several menstruation-related issues. It is definitely A Thing.

In a situation like that, then, one shouldn't call it a double standard, but maybe only a bit of a double standard.
