Fuck yeah Girl Scouts.

Hey, but we’ll have a shiny new stadium soon!

I didn’t call you a sociopath, but I will admit that no one has a right to demand that you don’t recline a seat. That is also part of being a good person.

I am also a frequent flyer. You are arguing a false choice, and don’t seem to understand the article. I can’t expect someone else not to recline their seat. But as someone who strives to be a good person, I can choose not to do so myself. If we want to discuss whether complaining in person to the seat recliner is…

It is exactly about being a good person, if we can agree that what it means to be a good person is to be considerate of others. If that isn’t an interesting project for you, fine. Yes, it is your right to recline. It is also your right to talk at the volume you want, to eat smelly food, to chat up your neighbor. All…

Yes, but this is an article on how to be a good person. If that isn’t an interesting subject to you, then the advice to avoid reclining doesn’t apply.

Reasons:

Good point. That is a real rule.

Pretty damn comprehensive list, and I love it.

I think what makes it feminist beyond having strong female characters who do bad ass shit is that they are fighting against a tyrant who is using toxic masculinity as a tool (not his only, of course, water itself is also important). This is a man who has created a death cult around the glorification of violence and…

The water is crucial, no doubt. But to keep the water (or take it, we don’t know the back story) you need an army. Possession of water doesn’t explain the death cult he commands.

I don’t think we will come to much agreement if you think calling Fury Road a feminist movie is reductive or that a feminist struggle only means fighting anti-woman sexism.

The tyrant builds his power on a cult of toxic masculinity. Ignoring that misses a big aspect of the film.

Yes. Very much yes.

Seriously, though, Mad Max is great and actually feminist. It is always fun to make fun of MRAs, but they are not wrong that Mad Max directly confronts their world view. Who killed the world? They did, with their toxic masculinity.

Ooh, I travel a lot with mine, and try to always remove the batteries so it doesn't go off while I'm going through security. That's a great feature!

Best money you'll ever spend. I can think of little else that could bring so much happiness, dollar for dollar.

Her culture may be fucked up and backwards but what she is doing is awesome. I'm not sure how insisting that she take of the hijab before she can do anything else helps anything except the egos of people on the internet.

Real empowerment is being just like us. Actually doing real shit, that's nothing.

Say what you will about anti-gay bigots out there, but they have a really good grasp of priorities.
