Fair enough. This wacky entertainment box was way less than that. And it makes phone calls!

It's the zoom lens. Those are magic.

I wish I had been on that friend list ...

It makes me so sad, honestly. My spouse and I speak about it frequently, about how both of us have benefited greatly by feminism, not just the wife but the husband as well. It's part of why I try to stay gender neutral on the boards, though it is more difficult in inherently gendered spaces. I wonder if third-wave…

I just snorted my afternoon tea. Hat tip to you!

They don't want more women, they want more vaginas.

While at first I just want to scream with impotent rage that there are people who still think like this, a second thought creeps in there. These men will never know the joy of partnership. They will never know what it's like to have another human being have their back 100%. They will always feel afraid and alone…

When I was 11 I was 99% sure that my best friend was being molested. I told my mother and she didn't want to believe me and convinced me I was mistaken. Two years later my friend was removed from the home because it turned out that I was correct and it had been going on since we were four. To this day I am so ashamed…

History Major says, thank you, that was a fantastic intersection of my interests!

I think most statements that say all, nothing, always, never will usually fall apart when one goes hunting for reasons that it's not true for absolutely all or none of X. That being said, her message that marriage = partnership = everyone does housework, damnit seems about as universal as I am comfortable with.

Good for you! Cry on, cry on.

I can totally see that, leaving some mystery, not spoon feeding. Unfortunately, I don't think that's the show they're giving us. I'd watch the hell out of that show. This one ... well, I watch it Tuesday morning in the background while I'm getting ready if I've been intrigued by Meredith's headline. Otherwise the DVR…

It's been so long since I've seen the Disney version I can't honestly remember the chain of events. In some versions it's in tandem. I didn't mean to say anything about battered wives. Many women get into relationships with wounded, broken men that they think they can heal/change with enough love.

I always give Sci-Fi an entire first season. So so many of my favorites were _awful_ their first season. So I'll be watching. Thanks for giving us the scoop!

I've had issue with the story/loved it so much it's a bit unhealthy because it perpetuates the idea that a woman can change a man. "If I just love him enough he'll turn from a beast into a loving husband." That trick does not generally work out so well for either parties. That being said, I'll watch any story with…

It doesn't bother me because evil without cause is pretty rare. Even for people born with no empathy there is usually some trauma that sets them on a path to evil as opposed to becoming a banker. I mean evil in the actively hurting people face to face way, not the casual, thoughtless evil that governments and…

For me it was both. I kept thinking about how human beings are never the same after being held in similar conditions as these chimps and wondering if any of these chimps can ever be truly healed. Will they have life-long PTSD? Can we come anywhere close to giving them a 'normal' life after living in labs for so long?…

It's a shame, because, truly, it will help you understand your woman in a way you could never _ever_ understand her otherwise. Changed our lives, honestly.

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

I watched this show on re-runs and it helped me understand my mom so very much. It felt like the only show that was telling the truth and it was in freakin' re-runs.
