Now that I've made it to the end if this thread, I want to thank you for your thoughtful and thorough comments on the Moffit era. You've outlined the issues in an even manner and I'm sorry a few others couldn't understand. I don't know why areas of geekdom have this weird inability to accept women as whole people,…

I completely agree with you, and it's the consensus among female fans. He can't write women unless they're their to reflect how ______ a male character is. I'm finding it very difficult to overlook and enjoy the show. I will be very relieved when his time is up (and was awfully sad that only white men were on this…

Sorry to butt in, but it's pretty well established among the female fans that Moffit has a very sexist world view. He might not be sexist in his daily interactions, but his writing has been consistently horrid as relates to representing any other viewpoint besides that of a middle class white man. His women are…

Sure, but it is essentially true. This would never have happened in California.

Absolutely! We get our water from Hetch Hetchy (Yosemite area) and it's one of six sources in the US that is not required to filter the water. It's delicious, I prefer it to bottled water.

One of the Jezebel writers needs to start following you. That happens when they believe you're making a consistently good contribution to the conversation.

No one does arrogant like white, straight men!

You're so right. You can't move any part if your body without pain. I'm glad that you also healed. Yay physical therapy!

I did, and once my pain was under control my back improved dramatically because I could do my physical therapy!

I used to be honest with my doctor, but then that ended up being an aweful mistake. I have a chronic back problem. My pain was not controlled and I was also aware that I was becoming dependent on the pain meds. I told him what was going on and then he straight up refused to refill my pain medication the next month. I…

A week, tops. I found out about ten years ago that I desperately need other people. Not even to interact with, though that is exceedingly important, but the sense of other humans I care about being near. You can sense others in the house and I really need that hum of their energy.

I also thought he was slso keeping them docile/sleepy. The whiskey for the kid would have knocked him out to keep from telling his mom what he just saw.

There is no culture where booth babes are good for anyone. It holds men back just as much as women.

Well, since booth babes contribute to a culture that doesn't acknowledge women as equal in the work place I would say the findings are enough to convince any company to run their own tests. Booth babes are bad for everyone. This guy just showed that with some data. Now others need to replicate. Though, there will…

Right, of course!

It's probably because they can't hunt on the King's land any longer. I mean, how else are they to pass the time?

Oh god, the puns!

Lauren is the best, right? I'm contemplating taking a leave of absence from work for depression and this was so perfectly timed. I don't know how many times one of Lauren's web comic suggestions gave me just enough distraction to keep my head above water. Yay Lauren!

That's because Lindy West is a kind and rational person. The folks that gotta go are judgy and mean. That they don't agree with her is indicative of their general nastiness, not a need to be right on Ms. West's part.
