so the perception is actually the strawman argument that if the nurse performs a circumcision she's necessarily in favor of and promoting the continued performance of the procedure? Is that the fury?

being a mostly-hetero woman with experience with both circumcised and uncircumcised penises.... I adore an uncircumcised penis. I hate to state a preference here, but I really do prefer the uncircumcised. They're not ugly and, from what I've been told, its actually more comfortable because the glans isn't exposed at…

or a nurse making sure that - whether the procedure is right or wrong - the child suffers as little pain and risk of disease/infection/negative consequences as possible from the procedure. I'm not ignorant - I don't agree with circumcision. But you're an alarmist looking to blame someone who is doing her job for the…

this is ridiculous. Like circumcision or not, this woman - in her role as a nurse - is carrying out the wishes of the parents of a child. She did not personally decide to give that child a circumcision nor was she commenting that circumcisions are good or bad or otherwise. She just made a silly joke about a duty…

see your point, but that was a central tenant of the show. They had held off saying his name for so long that it just became a thing. I saw a guy off and on for over four years and never waivered from calling him Public Defender to my friends. They all knew his name, but Public Defender had just caught on - like any…

agree with tealstar. Yahoo! set up an expectation that its employees would have a flexible work from home option and they've taken that away. The decision is likely to affect women more than men because women are, by and large, the primary caregivers for children. Therefore, the decision is inherently anti-feminist…

pretty soon we'll all be holographing ourselves into the office every day a la Tupac. My law firm can't wait for my first performance....

yeaaaaah I dunno about this one, Tracie. KLG's concept is correct, sure, but I think this really only works on a micro-level. In other words, if I, as an individual, elect not to have children so that I can pursue my career that's my choice. It's my friend's choice to have children and stay home. One is not better…

Maybe. I even went to their janky-ass website and poked around and didn't see anything, but it could definitely be a wholly owned subsidiary or something similar...

so, wait. Are these shoes being produced by the company "Sketchers" or is the word "sketchers" just some new version of the term "sketchy" that I'm not familiar with since I'm no longer one of the cool kidz? I tried to figure out how Sketchers - a teen-oriented but not usually so blatantly awful company - was related…

guys, that mag cover of KK's fake-orgasming face is making me retch each time I see it. So glad it's no longer the feature on the Jez homepage. Sheesh!

it amazes me that the sense that the Mediterranean Diet makes is still not just... well... common sense. As Michael Pollan put it so succinctly: Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

I occasionally "work from home" which is a euphemism for "rub my dog's belly, eat lots of snacks, and watch old episodes of Hell's Kitchen whilst lazily checking emails."

the truth or falsehood of her statements matters not to the GOP!

agreed - the sleeved dress is prettier. But covering her up for the sake of modesty is bogus.

I vote we all give a slow clap to the brilliant individual who invented this towel-faking foam device as we hang our heads in shame over our stupidity-fueled avarice.

Maybe if we just combine the MTV Movie Awards and the Oscars into a single show that would help. Each seems to have become somewhat irrelevant and boring in its own right (Oscars are actually boring, MTV Movie Awards boring watching all the stars trying too hard to be edgy or interesting....), maybe if we do a mashup…

*all-NEWS, not all-new. Again: the dumbing-down of 'Merica....

"Soledad is talented at producing in-depth, serious pieces of journalism, and is a tough interviewer. That doesn't seem to fit the direction the network is going."

or.... unfortunately. Either way she came out of the birth with scars for life and FOUR boys to care for. Return on investment seems questionable. But, as banshee said, mazel tov!
