@BobcatCorduroy: It's not either/or. Both parties can share responsibility for an unethical relationship. Not all people who hold "The Other" accountable feel like propping up the kyriarchy by making excuses for men.

@feministabroad: Agreed. A relationship built on subterfuge and betrayal, or even worse, where the disloyalty and lies are integral to the very existence of the relationship, is not healthy for anyone. It's not healthy for the people involved and it's not healthy for their friends/acquaintances, and for society at…

@FatBottomedGirl: Agreed. Thank you. I have no interest in living in a society where no one cares about anyone else and is only out for themselves. Saying "the one with the SO is solely responsible" is a slimy technicality that has nothing to do with the reality of living in a society, alongside other people. We are…

@clevernamehere: Agreed. Not to mention the serious problems some people have with the concept of snatching children from the disenfranchised to give to the upper classes - or coercing women who don't want to be pregnant into continuing their pregnancy for the sake of producing an adoptible child.

@hillarym: Ahhh, I see! I was picturing it as an internal decision by MSF to divide its intake into "religious" and "non-religious" categories.

@hillarym: Can you donate to MSF as a religious person? Now I'm curious.

@The Conductor: I am not the original commenter, but I believe they are implying that Americans are apathetic because of the widely-held belief that Pakistan has been harbouring OBL.

@no hobbies for sarah: I feel the same way. I wish I didn't have to exist as a sack of meat, and could be a ghost, just pure consciousness floating around. My body sucks and is an irredeemable piece of trash. I will be so happy when I finally get to die and shed it completely.

@blameitonrio is voting MizJenkins for Jezident!: Ah yes, the good ol' wide-and-innocent-eyed "Why are you oppressing yourself/graciously allowing other people to oppress you?" Because it's so much fun and tastes like ice cream. Dumbass.

@rakunk: That was my life, too.... and then I married another woman (yay Canada!). Luckily I am bi, otherwise I would die alone and get eaten by my seventeen cats.

@blameitonrio is voting MizJenkins for Jezident!: I try not to eat poutine. I am already retardé going up the stairs in the metro, my derrière doesn't need any avoirdupois, merci beaucoup.

@blameitonrio is voting MizJenkins for Jezident!: Hmmm, interesting point. I am a bilingual Montrealer, so the phrase "en retard" or "retardé" is not inflammatory at all when I am wearing my beret and brandishing a baguette.

@weirdette: So break up housekeeping and live separately, don't get a divorce!

@Gnatalby: I would never call someone who was mentally disabled a "'tard" or "retarded". I would never call someone with a mental illness "crazy" or "nuts". So, since those words are not acceptable to use in their formerly "correct" contexts, and not acceptable as slang which is removed from that meaning now, are they…

@RaisinGirl.OfficeGirl is posting from the future: Clearly, it's the latter. As we have seen time and again. And there was never any discussion of the "unfuckables" thread, as promised by the mods, either.

@lizdexia: I disagree. The patriarchy teaches us that women and children are the property of men. Many men who harm their kids are just acting out this maxim, by using them as tools to hurt their former partners, the mothers. I think that recognizing that men and women may have different motives for the same crime is…

@texaseditor: White, privileged men who kill their children usually do so because they see them as their property as patriarchs and want to punish or control their mother. Those situations are so far from this one, they shouldn't even be mentioned.

@toohotforporncareer: Imo, the point is that the struggle to survive as a single mother can sometimes be so drudging and seem so impossible, that killing one's children and getting three squares and a warm bed in lockup is actually the most rational choice of all.

@Vidya108: Thank you. I love the Obamas as symbols, but their actual real existence, and the causes Michelle champions, are problematic.

@InfamousCheesecake: I honestly don't get how taking control of what kind of life she was going to have, and offer her two children, is "selfish", which is why I can't "get" what people are arguing. Taking stock of available resources and finding a way to use them responsibly; isn't that what mature adults do? Being…
