Oh, yes, I knew you were on the side of logic and reason, and I wanted to let you know that Lifehacker agrees with you, too. I wanted to link the article to Rollingstone but chickened out since I wasn't in the mood for a protracted argument against superstitious beliefs. You have more patience than I do.

I left facebook/tumblr/flickr while I was being stalked and harassed, and I still haven't gone back. However, everyone I regularly interact with in real life is on social media, including family, friends, coworkers, clients, the organisation I volunteer at, the clubs I've joined, etc.

Exactly. I'm decidedly turned off by people who think men can only be men if women are less than human.

You're not gross, Katie! I'm sure many Jez readers love you and think you're a wonderful person/writer, and I agree with them.

If you weren't aware, Lifehacker even had an article about this very debate, with evidence weighing in on the side of calories in : calories out.

It honestly sounded like things I'd read off Men's Rights sites.

Very well put.

She's basically saying feminism is crap once you've got a real man, and there are people on here cheering her on. Mind-blowing.

Exactly. This false brand of 'choice' feminism feels dishonest.

BAC has a lot to do with bodymass, not just the amount of alcohol. A BAC over 0.06 is where things like depth perception start to get hinky for a driver, and when the BAC is over 0.10 the driver is pretty much a staggering/slurring drunk person.

I think raffgrrl wants to know how many glasses of wine, for example, is the difference between 0.08 and o.110.

Did you happen to read the io9 article Anthropologists are among the lowest paid and least respected scientists in the United States?

Feminism is not a personal support group that exists to cheer on any possible decision a woman could possibly make.

the most common way they get into an occupied house is have someone open the door for them. Unless you answer the door with a gun drawn and pointed at the visitor each and every time, that gun is going to do fuck all to protect you.

China-hate is running rampant around this piece of news, completely missing the context behind the Chinese government's actions, just because it's the Chinese government. Someone above also said that a member of this cult was also responsible for the knife attack on 22 Chinese schoolchildren.

I loved my Syrian girl so much. She NEVER bit me, and she was so sweet and calm that she'd be able to sleep on my lap while I watched a movie. She'd also know that if I put my hand by her, she could climb on to be transported to her cage, where she'll get a piece of banana. Best behaved pet I've ever had. RIP…

Those two asses deserve each other. I do feel bad for the baby, though.

Let me just add that the coke addition was over a decade ago, just to be clear.

Huge difference between unintended and unwanted. A cousin announced an unplanned pregnancy last month, but she sort of wanted a baby anyways sometime in her life, and felt that now was as good a time as any. She would not have wanted an unplanned baby while she was in the middle of a coke addiction.
