I have a feeling it’s not that giving your child the man’s last name makes the man more likely to stay, but that families where the child is given the man’s last name are more stable units, if anything. You have the causality backwards.

Here’s the problem—the AVERAGE commute in NYC is 48 minutes—folks who work long hours in the service sector (aka jobs that are more likely to not give you breaks to eat) essentially all live in outer boroughs, and for someone commuting from, say, the Bronx to midtown Manhattan, it could regularly (as in, you need to…

yup!

Don’t understand what you mean to say...it’s not worth the consideration? Then you might want to stop posting as you’ve spent a lot more time than I have talking about it. Or...there’s no objective way to prove that implicit or explicit bias affected it but it doesn’t matter? What’s “important enough” for you to care…

So you truly believe she was objectively the best? The judges has no biases, explicit or implicit, at any level of competition? No one else in her town/state/country was better but unable to afford entrance fees/costumes/travel expenses to pageants? No one else would have been better but was unable to get off work?

No, because sometimes you may want to role-play a situation where you wouldn’t say stop or no?

If you didn’t talk about those possibilities beforehand, you didn’t really “talk about it”

Buddhist fundamentalists tend to commit genocidal campaigns against Muslim minorities

there are quite literally millions of new yorkers who might go over a month without visiting manhattan at all

Actually, we really don’t. Idaho especially is on the cutting edge of taking religious freedom to it’s natural, libertarian conclusion.

I don’t understand why she would need to cover up? She doesn’t work with children who could pull aside her shirts, or with dangerous chemicals that could splash on her skin?

So, by that logic, if I post a few pictures of my child on my Facebook page and some acquaintance takes an interest that my social media output can’t sustain, he can come wait outside my apartment building and snap pics of us heading out to school or whatever? Why is that acceptable when it’s scaled up? I’m not saying…

I would say this has probably created some terror in nyc’s black population at the very least

Let’s be honest—without the myth of the black boogeyman to blame for everything, white America would have fallen in on itself for being rotten to the core.

omg too real. I always end up bringing, like, 4 different dried fruits. How many types of dried mango do I think I might need for a 4 hour flight to Phoenix??

Heads up, if your employer makes conditions bad enough that you (a reasonable person) cannot put up with it and have to quit, then a worker is often protected wrt unemployment, etc. NOT saying that’s the case here, but I’ve noticed lately a lot of people supporting really facile readings of the law (i.e. you have to…

Because, for most women who get sick, they’re not going to experience asking their partner to leave, they’re going to experience being abandoned. Considering we haven’t even dealt with that properly or provided support for that, it seems a little “but what about men” to insist on steering the conversation away from…

So what is the point? That some people, like you, are statistical outliers? How is that helpful in a broad, general conversation?

Also, why didn’t the south protest when the federal government forced northern states to criminalize not helping to catch slaves, despite that being literally against northern state’s laws? Why didn’t the north secede after the fugitive slave act?

So is your argument that the majority of women who end up alone after their partner leaves are happy about that outcome? Do you have any stats to back that up?
