Well a few points here. I have no knowledge of any long history of creepy behavior. What other women have ever made any accusations? Yes, I think his portrayal of woman in his films is frequently misogynistic, and yes he tends to cast only beautiful young actresses. This could be said about the vast majority of films…

Yeah, I’m around that a lot. All the people I know who are indignant about how the government uses the taxpayers’ money don’t actually pay much in taxes. I mean, they pay and get it back every April Merry Taxmas, because they make so little or else have enough dependents that they receive their money all back. Which I…

That lifestyle will wear you down.

I’ll explain it. Let me say that I’m not saying I believe this. This is not my opinion- I have no earthly idea if Allen is a predator or not. I’m just saying that I can see the point of view that Mia has filled her kids’ heads with allegations and they have come to believe them (which happens in messy divorces rather…

I just don’t agree with the Cosby comparison. Dylan and Ronan are both children who were involved in a very messy and emotional divorce with a lot of mud-slinging, and I can see how it is possible that they have parroted and come to believe things they’ve been told. I’m not saying this is the case- just that no one…

Hey, I'm not saying I wouldn't. I mean, if you have broad shoulders, nice arms and a tight ass, I'd be very easy to convince.

Nah, I realized dancing wasn't for me when I was a teenager. But it still happens, every once and a while, that I'm in a situation where I have to do it- like a wedding or a friend's birthday. Even still, I can usually get away with just having to do the big end group dance.

“Try it sometime”. Do you really think people who hate dancing have never tried it? I don’t know why there is such social pressure to do a thing that you hate doing. I love music. I feel absolutely no compulsion to move my body to it. Why does this bother people so much? And then if you do dance, people are still…

Yes me too. It took me a girls’ nights to learn this though. But by the time I was like 19, I realized that I never again wanted to go on girls night to dance. Though sometimes you do have to do it. My best friend’s birthday is one example. I’m not going to boycott her birthday. People's weddings is the other. I bet…

I hate it. I don’t even understand the urge to move my body to music. Oddly, I love music. But I have never felt even the slightest compulsion to move my body to it, other than to tap my feet. When people insist that I do it anyway, it just feels like a completely awkward and unnatural action that I’m deliberately and…

And THIS is one reason why loads of people just don't dance. You have the feeling that other people are watching you and judging you. Your friends tell you, "nah, no one cares, just be confident and have fun." And then later someone is online talking about watching your stupid moves.

Me too. But I like to watch other people do it, when they are good at it. When they are bad at it, I feel like it's my fault.

I think it has a lot more to do with Protestant roots than anything. The British and Germans are this way with all emotions too, even more than Americans, though their associations with masculinity are different because Americans have a frontier survivor mythology on top of it. But you dip down into Spain or France,…

Yup. I’m a woman who grew up in the US, but even still, my control of emotions is considered really cold when I’m with family in India. I can’t cut loose and celebrate, am made very uncomfortable by embraces and expressions of affection, and I absolutely do not cry in front of people. In fact, I’m so unaccustomed to…

I’m a little confused by your statement. Are you suggesting that this article is wrong? Why wouldn’t you know who he said it to when the article says he said it to Williams during their coverage of the primary. This is one journalist talking to another journalist while they are working. Unless you mean the article is…

I don’t know if you could not notice. It's much more painful than a period. Though everyone is different.

Mine just filled up a bunch of pads. Very clotty, very painful, but there were no discernible body parts- just chunky blood.

Well, she's got a history of drug problems and homelessness, so I'd suspect mental illness, either as a contribution to her problems or perhaps a result of them. It makes sense that hospitals and the fetus-burial place would turn her away if she were erratic and had a ziplock bag of blood and was talking about…

Yes same here. I was maybe 6 weeks though. 6-8. It was just like an extremely heavy period, though terribly painful. I have no idea what remains I could have tried to bury. Though it sounds like there are some mental problems in this case, so perhaps she had a bag of clotty blood in her purse?
