This is a sermon, not an article. And like all sermons, it is full of subjective interpretations, flamboyant statements, and outright lies. Too many people are trying to make her into Rosa Parks. She could not perform due to health reasons so she withdrew (after failing to get special treatment). That’s how it is…

If you’re going to write a piece on tennis, you should probably actually know something about...tennis.

Well, I could wrong, but Emily seems to be indicating that “Cruella” is being unfairly (and exhaustively) critiqued via a lens of sexism. A lens that people certainly don’t use on the Marvel or Star Wars movies (that Disney also owns).

She was the best part of the interview. Can we normalize men spending time with their families and children to celebrate? 

The film is far too long, at two-plus hours, but there are much worse ways to spend around 140 minutes, such as reading internet indignation that a massively budgeted Disney blockbuster on an exorbitantly priced streaming app didn’t perform its socialist feminism well enough to be exalted as a masterpiece in a…

I understand her argument, that media questioning was causing her emotional distress to the point where it could become debilitating, if not on the court then off it.

However, like any other job, she has a responsibility to report to her employer (French Open/Grand Slam officials) her concerns and then work to address…

I agree, it’s a two way street. In the 80's and 90's there was a moderately talented hockey player named Peter Zezel who played for the several teams. In ‘98, he was on the Vancouver Canucks, when his niece was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He requested a trade to any Eastern Conference team, in order to be closer…

I absolutely support her paying the fine in lieu of doing interviews. She did, however, sign a contract that stipulates either press events or a fine, so the press is absolutely part of the job (or the fine is, which is the road she took.) I think the org is being shitty that she called their bluff and opted to just…

Oh yes, shoot this into my veins. Sports takes from those that don’t watch sports are wonderful to me.

I think this is the best approach and opens to the door to lots of on-the-job training and skill building that will benefit young Americans in the job market while (theoretically) improving our country. Whether it’s going into the military, education/childcare, infrastructure/environment, government/diplomacy,…

Why would you think ending the draft would change that? We haven’t used it for decades and it hasn’t changed our foreign policy approach in iota of late.

Is it still called “ratio’d” when it is an article that is being destroyed in the comments, not a tweet?

I know I’m in the minority on this, but I truly believe we need mandatory national service in the US, for all young men and women. It doesn’t have to be military service per se, just service.

The draft shouldn't exist, for men or women, but so long as it does it shouldn't be applicable to some and not others on the basis of sex.

I agree. I think the reason the ACLU is so despised among certain circles is that they attempt to stand for the law as it’s written, even when it’s unappealing. The option then becomes, change the law or enforce it equally.

If men have to register when we turn 18, women should too. All citizens should.

The point of the lawsuit isn’t really to draft women; it’s to get rid of mandatory Selective Service registration altogether on the grounds that it’s discriminatory.

Either way, the ACLU taking up the military draft as an issue concerning gender discrimination seems to me to be a pitfall of liberal definitions of gender equality, which rely on the idea that women must seek to do everything that men do.

How is this BS? This is the last standing argument against the ERA.

The ACLU has the right idea here. This isn’t really about the draft, it’s about ending one of the last allowed formal discriminations on the basis of sex in the U.S. They are playing the long game and they are right. The draft hasn’t been used since Vietnam, it’s a dead issue that no one who isn’t an MRA cares about.…
