I don't think I suggested anywhere that the power imbalance (or her refusal to accept Nicholson's advances) _would definitely_ have an effect on Lawrence's career. I certainly think it's possible, but not really what I was arguing, but rather why it was creepy when men like Nicholson aren't mindful of their power…

The imbalance in power dynamics is always crucial to understanding relationships between people, regardless of degree. Jennifer Lawrence may have star power now because of her current popularity, but that's not to say that she will be able to maintain that position relative to others _in the industry_ in the long…

That's my go-to song at karaoke. Well, that and 'The Way' by Fastball. ;)

Yeah, I'm arguing with a bunch of them on the Raw Story right now. ;P

I like the atheist ones. But they need to be designed like this:

I think it's a misperception, because some of the most famous hoarders were the Collyer brothers, who were male.

That being said, I think because hoarding may be related to a dysfunction of an evolutionary adaptation of the '-gatherer' portion of the 'hunter-gatherer', and that was primarily a task delegated to women,…

Gah, you just gave me a bad idea (re: pinning towels in place so they don't lose shape). Because I can't stand towels when they start to warp, and you can't fold them properly anymore because the ends get narrower while the middle remains wide and...

Maybe for important things of sentimental value, they can be scanned or digitally photographed first. All the benefits of keeping the keepsakes, without the clutter (unless you count the hard drives they're kept on, but hey, those get smaller every year with larger capacity). :)

CLOUT. Sorry, apparently being logged into 'Klout.com' has, uh, klouded [sic] my ability to spell words properly.

I would also add (I was going to say something about it but hit 'Publish' too soon) was that I similarly don't have issues with polyamory in and of itself: polyandry, polygyny, polygamous relationships aren't necessarily problematic in dictionary terms, but in the real world, there is a long history of polygamous…

I think sexual agency is a tricky thing, but I think there is a difference between two people who grow close while working together, when they actually get to know each other, as opposed to two people who see each other purely as sex objects. While I personally am not bothered if two people mutually view each other…

And yet apparently the many defenders of Jack Nicholson on Jezebel of all places don't find that creepy. :(

Right, because calling attention to the fact that a famous and much-feted Hollywood director who admitted to drugging and raping an underage girl yet is given a complete pass by the majority of Hollywood and many film fans... can be dismissively characterized as someone who is "trying to reheat the beans of the Roman…

Jane Fonda, or Lena Dunham, and Jamie Lee Curtis have power, money, prestige, etc., yet they were still offended by Seth MacFarlane's 'We Saw Your Boobs' routine because it exacerbates the sexism and misogyny in Hollywood and the Academy, which often transcends female actors' power, prestige, money and clout because…

Not sure what you're saying here: the comparing of the imbalance in the power dynamic is between the two of them, not between them vs. the rest of the world, because the discussion was about Jack Nicholson and Jennifer Lawrence...?

As for the term "womanizer", if it is a problematic term, let me know what would be a…

That's bad. :(

At the very least, they should code into the game the ability for MMO clients to work in a P2P mode so you and your friends can play together online in a shared world, without the need for a central server. So long as no one is trying to profit off it, I don't see why companies would have a problem with it.

Yeah, it's difficult to discern whether someone had an addictive personality prior to playing an MMO, or if they developed an addiction after playing it for so long. It could even be a bit of both, considering the way MMOs are designed to be Massively Addictive Time and Money Sinks (MATaMS? ;P).

I'm of two ways about that: on the one hand, I cut my teeth playing hardcore Player-Kill MUDs (well, maybe not _that_ hardcore because there was no permadeath, except on Armageddon ;P), where you could kill and full loot people with impunity.

On the other hand, it was a hell of a lot easier on those games to reequip…

I'm more bothered by allegations of Jennifer Lawrence's trans*phobia (Pro-tip: calling one's cat 'Chaz Bono' because the cat is female but acts male _is_ offensive - http://www.newnownext.com/jennifer-lawre…).

Definitely disappointed that Ellen Degeneres let it slide.
