With full understanding and appreciation from the principal, which also resonated with me because I was allowed to bounce a guy off the wall for harassing me within full view of a teacher because of similar issues of people trying to get him to stop being ignored because he played the game so well.

Wendy also tried to be a stupid spoiled whore like the other girls, and they ridiculed her for even trying because they deemed her too smart for knowing what ketamine was.

I said this:

No joke, the steak monogrammer (is that a word? It should be a word) would be a hilarious gift for my dad. Not sure it would be 40 bucks hilarious, but it'd be hilarious.

I won't feel like I've committed a crime if I dig up his personal information and post it and charge him money to get it removed, but it'll still be a crime.

Whenever I see someone asking how revealing someone's private details in a very public way violates the first amendment, I want to get that person's phone number and e-mail address and get a few people, just for one day, to email and call and text and say the sort of things I'm sure these women heard and see how they…

Working in a very male-heavy industry where my skillset is regularly used like I'm an admin rather than the holder of a master's degree, I can understand how other women my age still feel like they're getting the short end of the stick. It doesn't happen in every interaction, but there's been plenty of times where…

I am trying not to be totally negative against it. I heard the Bonnie & Clyde mini was excellent, but then again, that's based on actual people, so you can tell that story in a lot of different ways.

I really gotta start hiring some of the people here to write my comments for me because you've nailed exactly the point I was trying to make, and I went long with my reply.

I didn't say it had to make everybody happy, and I didn't say no one should ever be offended. I said I was personally bored that a clever idea was executed with such a damn boring view of the world. "I shall investigate my failures through art!" is done so often and in so many ways, that to combine a very neat idea…

Exactly my feelings. For a project that's meant to investigate a series of romantic relationships with women, shoe designs could be really interesting, and these actually are interesting and seem to be thought-out (though how much is him and how much the designers, I couldn't say [silently siding with designers). It's…

I have never seen Rosemary's Baby, and maybe this will be good, but given how iconic it is, what's the point of changing everything? Why not just double remaster it or something and do a retrospective?

I envy you, though it may be a location thing. I grew up down South, and I spent a lot of time with people asking me when (never if) I would have children, and when I said, "I'm not interested in children," the list of responses generally ran:

Yes, but as Venker isn't making that argument—and is, in fact, making a really skewed version of the opposite of that argument—it wasn't' relevant to how it affected my feelings on the discussion. Nor should it be relevant, I think, to the overall discussion of this matter, which should be focusing on how fucked up it…

I am always amazed when women like Ms. Venker talk about how terrible it is that women work and don't stay home and have babies and how they completely miss that they are part of the "problem" they see in that they are making a living telling the rest of us to stop making a living, and they are going away from their…

I'm the breadwinner in my house because my guy is in a creative field, and we decided a long time ago that I'd bring in the money while he would take care of the house and general chores (laundry, cooking, errands) and work to get himself established. Funny how, when kids aren't involved, there's not a shit ton of…

You know, if a major part of my life for months revolved around being investigated for an illegal act, I'd have some canned answers ready to go. Because that's how you play the public relations game: you have answers you've worked on with your attorney. You have come up with answers to every question you can possibly…

From my personal grouch perspective, I would be the woman in the bottom left no matter if I had a ring or not because being forced by three of my friends to stage a picture with ten people besides them in order to make certain everyone sees how so very important the sparkly ring is would make me want to scream. I…

Comics that will not make girls feel like they have to question their spines:

The Ramona Quimby books would be superb. She'd also be able to easily read the Nancy Drew books. If she has any interest in comics, the Marvel Adventures series is good (they're specifically geared to a very all-ages set), and it'd also make a good gift for the three-year-old, who can't read yet, but bright pictures…
