it happened to me once in front of my dad and i just brushed it off like "eh, i'm a woman, it sucks that i'm used to it, but i am." and he just gave me the saddest look I've ever seen because he honestly didn't think people said stuff like that to me.

Props to Jim Cook! Great artwork!

It's a pretty self-deceiving to think that being a narcissistic asshole with no respect for others, especially their elders, is a phenomenon new to this generation of teenagers. Socrates famously said,

I always feel terrible when I find out I've disturbed her sleep... :(

Id agree except there was only one prior incident. He may not have thought it was a pattern.

Definitely. It took a long time for me to understand what was going on. Close friends started awkward conversations with me, saying I groped them for a few minutes then went back to snoring. Marrying a doctor helped a lot. I wouldn't risk sharing a bed with other people any more. It's definitely up to me to protect…

I don't have sexsomnia but I have other somniloquy and sleep paralysis, a sister who sleep walks, and a friend with narcolepsy.

I also have this condition, although I'm fortunate that it entertains Mrs. Footsteps instead of bothers her. Still, it's on me to make sure that she, who at worst laughs it off, is the only one subjected to it.

I think she's saying "Off the hook!" Either way, that toy is sooooo annoying I'd be looking for any excuse to shut it the hell up, too.

Yes, my $9.00 an hour salary would go really far in rural India, but if I were in rural India I wouldn't have a $9.00 an hour job. See how that works?

What gets me is all the comments saying it isn't a gendered thing and women need to just learn to negotiate and they NEVER have a problem because they call people on shit. Do people even read the article before wanting to lay the blame women? This was about people flat out lying because of gender and warmth. Even if…

I followed this back to a ThinkProgress article on the same study, which then sent me through the interwebs to this article from the Globe and Mail. It's worth a read.

Yes! This one pisses me off no end. I was born with my surname; so was my father. So how come it's his name for him, but for me it's somehow still 'his' name?

Ultimately, the act of naming a child after yourself as a woman is an act of preserving your own name. But that name is probably your father's name.

Gender equality just isn't everyone's passion, and y'all are gonna have to learn to make your peace with that instead of picking on people for it. It's fine, really! I bet many of you are just bored to tears by environmental activism, or by trying to find a cure for cancer, or economic justice, or whatever other…

Seriously - I don't get what most of them are talking about! I think her character's motivations are more complex than that of a scorned woman, for sure - honestly, I feel like it wasn't smart enough for some people (like what do you expect? an oscar-worthy art house film?), and it was obviously too smart for others.

I also felt a driving motivation for her was protecting herself and her fellow fairies from the king and his men who wanted to destroy the beautiful natural habitat of faerieland.

Hear hear. I'm not a vegetarian, but I could never understand the "you can't save the world, so don't bother doing anything nice ever" argument.

It seems more likely that people who suffer from disorders, chronic diseases, and anxiety/depression would be more likely to become vegetarians than the other way around. If you have health problems, you're probably going to be messing with your food intake, vitamins/minerals, exercise routine, etc. in order to see if…
