Actually, Harry is incredibly vulnerable in the muggle world and his strength comes from being humble about his abilities and not desiring power. Harry doesn't use the muggle world to his benefit at all. He doesn't seem to want much to do with the muggle world

I don’t understand this need to merge the magical world and the muggle world. The movies kept focusing on the scenes that involved the muggle world, even interjecting scenes that weren’t in the books and didn’t add to the plot just to constantly shove magic into regular reality. The books always emphasized the…

The “Golden American ponyboy” is Canadian, FYI.

Be angry about the present. The past doesn’t care how we feel about it and we can’t change it. If we avoid these songs and stories because they make us uncomfortable, we’ll forget our past and you know how that saying goes.

Why read Jane Austin?

What is ridiculous is the disparity in cost between Quebec and Ontario even for private daycare.

My understanding is that all genitals are susceptible to yeast. Look out for a red rash and burning at the tip of the penis. Let us know how it goes!

I don’t know if it is worth inviting a yeast infection to take up residence in your vagina? Would the discomfort be worth it?

Oh dear, I must not have understood what the movie was about. I thought Lili was the archetype heroine, who manages to rise above her tragic circumstances and challenges the restrictive norms of her society. I had no idea that she was a victim. My bad.

“But whether her husband is Einar or Lili, Gerda’s wants and needs remain secondary in importance—both to society and to the film.”

Nader could have just said, “you should sit down with Nobel Prize winner, economist George Akerlof, who is known to be consumer-sensitive.” I’m sure she would recognize the name! Or maybe he’s trying to suggest that in-addition to being woman and therefore incapable of understanding the economy, she is also loosing…

If you don’t want it to be patronizing, maybe don’t remind her that he’s her husband? I’m sure she knows his name and knows that they are married. Perhaps it’s even more patronizing because clearly he’s insinuating that she’s loosing her memory.

Strip clubs are a form of entertainment and those dancers are performers who train and rehearse. I’m sure that most women cannot do what they do and why should they have to? I’m not trying to romanticize strip clubs as an art form, but they are a form of entertainment that most people cannot replicate at home. Why…

It’s like people just read the word “silver” and ignore the other words that follows. Compounds that contain silver atoms are not the same as silver. Everyone needs to go back to High School Chem class.

Maybe the woman who married her boss developed a relationship with him such that she didn’t see him as her boss when their relationship began. Maybe she made the first move? Maybe we don’t care if she does accept his advances because that’s her choice and so actually we aren’t concerned about consensual office…

What you are missing in this story is the power discrepancy, the probable size discrepancy between them and the age discrepancy. Add in that person telling you a sexual story that makes you uncomfortable, and then physically putting their hands on you without invitation. It’s intimidation and men use it all the time…

You can discriminate and refuse to hire people based on gender if their gender is a required feature of the job. For instance, a female strip club is not going to be sued for refusing to hire male strippers. A women’s only gym can refuse to hire male staff. You can refuse to hire a person with a physical disability if…

I’m convinced hair has it’s own puberty. Mine was somewhere between the ages of 6 and 9, i’m not exactly sure when it was. It suddenly became a mess of tangled drama. It has gone through similar periods of rebellion since, but mostly a refusal to hold a proper curl uniformly on my head. So I’ll have intense curls…

I used to sleep on it wet and it would get tangled and finally dread locked because of all the dry brushing. Somewhere between 6 and 9 my hair went from smooth and wavy to springy curly, and both my parents had no idea what to do about it. I got one short hair cut, and it did look cute, but they were totally lost as…

“When men become priests, they get to keep their names, cars, even bank accounts. Not nuns. When my mother entered the convent, she gave up virtually everything.”
