I'm sure it exists. But it's probably safer and easier to just have uninfected actors say they're positive. It's not like you can see it.

I don't follow much of Miley Cyrus, though I've heard a bit about the appropriation and I doubt I would like her if I knew more about her. But I suspect that it's the typical lazy move that most people use to insult women they don't like by insulting their sexuality. If you don't like Cyrus because of appropriation,…

I'm never sure what proper social conduct for it is, so I find myself side-eyeing the shelves whenever I'm near them. But then when I see a book that makes me excited, I have to either admit I've been snooping or wait to bring it up...I should probably just use your excuse.

You know the rule:

So this guy makes up these "seven manly virtues," (manliness, courage, industry, resolution, self-reliance, discipline and honor) and then when he believes some man doesn't live up to them, he calls him a woman.

By that logic, he's defining women as people who lack these virtues. Women are apparently cowardly, lazy,…

Nonono. You see, real women, ladies don't get angry. They just titter nervously behind their lacy handkerchiefs or fall into a swoon when someone calls them the C word.

Just want to say that having read my way down half of this thread in mild horror, it's been very cathartic to see your responses. Others have spoken up too, of course, but you seemed to consistently say exactly what I'd hoped someone would say, exactly how I'd hoped someone would say it.

Agreed! Unless he's orchestrating this he's no more guilty than she is, society just unfairly deems his behavior acceptable and hers not.

Right? But I can't imagine why young women today are postponing having children! It must be because they're selfish or lazy, or too busy instafacetweeting, am I right?

Even if you don't feel like it all the time, you are strong. Very, very strong.

I am reminded of this: http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=c…

That is such an excellent point. It makes so much more sense for tipping to be removed from the equation entirely, and to just pay your waitstaff a regular, decent salary. (With prices adjusted however necessary to keep you afloat.)

Seriously! I genuinely think literalists believe that the idea of interpreting scripture is new. If anything, it's literalism that's a new idea. (Not that the newness of it makes it a bad idea...it's everything else about literalism that makes it a bad idea.)

Sheeee-eeee-eeesh. I don't claim expertise, but as a Jew who goes to Torah study I have to say that whenever we're arguing about the meaning of a word the absolute first thing we ask is "what does the Hebrew say?" Half the time the English translations are so far out they're almost meaningless.

He must have been so happy when the internet came around! There's probably four or five forums for this at least.

I'll second that sentiment. Room for all safe, consensual kinds:)

Cooking requires way more skill and knowledge than doing the damn dishes does. Here is all the specialized information you will ever need for doing the dishes:

One would think if you were concerned that most women don't know enough about some aspect of pregnancy, you'd write an article with some basic information about prenatal testing, and advice on how to approach something like that with your doctor. Rather than finger-wagging about how women who aren't you aren't doing…

Unless she said a sarcastic no, meaning yes! DUN DUN DUUUUUN! : )

Right? Like I could believe some jerk bought a girl a cheap ass bracelet too small on purpose to subtly call her fat. It would be kind of insane, but it's the kind of insanity I believe exists after a year of reading MRA trolls on Jezebel. But an engagement ring? The thing you propose marriage with? I can't imagine…

Well I mean clearly the wiser choice would have been to get televised revenge on him.
