But...but...but...why did Alcott get to be "A" and not Austen?

Rid the world of hairless apes, you say?

I've been tailgated, vehicular-harassed, and followed to my destination aggressively for no reason, but it's a little different. I'm a woman and it happened in my younger days when I was cute. Several times. I got the occasional male driver who would try to start something, not in a "can I have your phone number"…

According to the Internet, there are 527 Jezebels in the USA.

Your father is Sam Brownback? Just kidding. Thanks for explaining, and very sorry you had to grow up under that.

Are the lenders themselves on the hook in Canada if the graduate can't get a job and pay the loans back? Here in the USA, the lenders have a very powerful lobby, which is part of the problem. The lenders are not on the hook, and the student can't discharge the loans in bankruptcy. Here's an article that explains…

Well, just don't google "Visionary Daughters." This guy is not the only one who spews these views. The neo-patriarchy movement is spread largely through home-schooling networks, and isn't confined to one denomination.

HOLY SHIT. May I ask if his views are related to any particular sect, denomination, or religion? You don't have to answer, of course.

Yeah, that's the only thing this guy said that I agree with...college prices are inflated because they're subsidized by student loans (and I would add, the risk is not on the lender either) ... and I'm a big ol' liberal. I don't have to be a right-winger or a weirdo to think there's a gravy train going on…

Does he think that if the wife didn't have a degree and a job, the husband would automatically be able to step up and make the living in today's world? Does he think the only thing holding some men back from the high-salary job is the man's laziness? Reason I ask...I think today's workplace has changed so much that…

Your dad is right. Sell by dates are a big reason 1/3 to 1/4 of food on the planet is wasted. Not to sound scoldy (sorry) but the National Resources Defense Council published a paper earlier this year to great fanfare about this. http://www.nrdc.org/food/files/was…

That's not the same as the refrigerator life after…

That's funny, I drink grape juice with yeast in it all the time and it tastes great!

Is this happening from bronzers, bronzer additives to DHA-based sunless tanning products, or from DHA-based sunless tanning products alone? Sorry I don't know much about the difference but I sort of suspect bronzers/bronzer additives?

I'm with Kathrynparade. Summer really isn't a rom-com, but instead turns the whole MPDG thing on its head. He only thought she was so carefree and MPDG-ish but it was only a phase for her.

Just the way he says "Get it?" makes me cringe and trips my abuse-survivor trigger a little.

"I told him to let go and he said, "you think you can decide? I can have you if I want you"

Me too!

Hate to tell you this, but when that happens, it can bring out the opprobrium from other women, too. My mother was not conventionally attractive and my father was. No one ever let her forget it.

Yes. There are people who seem to care about nothing else in life besides keeping score by looks, money, and status. I personally think that's why people click so many random photos on Facebook. In fact, isn't that why Facebook started—some guys wanting to rank who was hotter and who was dating the people who were…

May I just say that being 56 is awesome...
