It's one thing to make a lunch because you want to. It's totally another thing to make one because your vagina obligates you to, despite whatever else you may have going on at the time. That sandwich would be a grudgewich with extra sauce.

It's like that one study that showed that childless women in their 20's with college educations in some areas of the country were outearning men (not necessarily ones that matched that exact demographic, so also including low-wage laborers). Every headline from now on: HE-TASTROPHE : WOMEN TOTALLY OUTEARNING MEN. We…

When the SATs first came around, boys tended to outscore girls on the math, while girls outscored boys on verbal. SAT writers assumed there was a flaw in the verbal section and skewed the types of questions and subject to raise boys' scores, while assuming the math section was as it should be.

Yes. And despite the talk of "irrefutable data" above showing that boys are left behind*, men still outearn women no matter what level of education you're dealing with.

Exactly. The disparity between the two groups is shrinking, and that's a huge positive. Unfortunately, many people see the situation as zero-sum, and so when one side succeeds, the other must be doing worse. This is manifestly not the case.

This passage:

Totally. Why couldn't she just have been like, "I'm selling these tickets because my daughters lied to me and broke the rules. Their loss is your gain!"

This one was my favourite

Seriously, I think my hedgehog has a better grasp of geography then most of these people.

Photojournalists take impromptu photos of news events. I'm not sure why the level of tragedy should dictate photojournalists' and publishers' rights.

If you are a teacher using a photo to accompany a classroom lecture, that falls under the Fair Use Doctrine exemption to copyright, for nonprofit educational purposes. I'm surprised that you didn't know that the law protects you. Rather than your rather sloppy application of the 'I really don't give a shit' doctrine…

That makes no sense. Photos are a work of art, an intellectual property. Pictures don't take themselves from magic. They don't frame and print themselves from the grace of God. It takes work and talent to take a truly iconic photo (that's why there are awards for them).

Not allowing rights to photos that are spontaneous and tragic would put a lot of photojournalists out of work.

I was thinking that Dorothy and Maude might, in fact, be in an abusive relationship; but then how would they advice differ? Pushing a friend to leave an abuser doesn't help - they're not staying in the relationship because of what their friends thing - and could alienate them, meaning that when they *are* ready to…

Exactly. It wasn't too super special in the flash-mob sense, but what makes it heartwarming and tear-jerking is to see their love celebrated by their friends and their parents and family, from the toddlers to the old cowboy dad, with the same over the top excitement and support that every SINGLE straight couple gets…

Part of why this is so touching is because it's a very public and family-involved declaration of a type of love that is regularly shamed and hidden in many, many parts of the world (including the place they are from!). That's part of what is so joyous and celebratory about it - and why so many folks are connecting to…

My cats communicate their emotions, wants, and desires very well, thank you very much. If you don't know that about them maybe it's because you don't know the cat well enough or are not paying enough attention.

Look, if we want the men to respect women in their typical areas [superheroes, sci fi and cars], we're gonna have to play nice when they want in our areas.

Ya know, there's plenty of other kids' cartoons that grown people watch, but none of them will get you made fun of like My Little Pony. Why is it totally cool for grown men to watch SpongeBob but they can't watch a cartoon about ponies?
