But HMSKittens starts the comment with SPOILER ALERT. If you're going to include spoilers, all you have to do is throw in a warning.

This is so incendiary. The core of the argument is applicable to all prison systems. Applying it solely to women is terribly sexist. All it does is insult women and perpetuate the notion that women are lesser, delicate beings. It (as with a lot of sexism) also treats men horribly - implying that men can't be the…

I still don't know when the meetings are! But let's be honest, Sergeant-at-Arms is maybe the best I could do. Hell, I'd take hall monitor of feminism.

I'm glad the recipes are good, because those massacres are getting really bad. The exorbitant number of men who have died at the hands of women throughout history must stop!

I agree the word has been poisoned, but I guarantee you that we disagree on how. And I didn't say "she doesn't get it," but I do understand what…

Haha, where does this board meet? I did not realize that men were excluded, but it's probably because they, too, do not know where it meets. Can someone put up fliers? Or start a fb group? I'll bring punch. Should you bring punch to a board meeting? Spreadsheets... I'll bring spreadsheets.

She didn't articulate a…

Oh I'm very sorry. I didn't mean to imply that I thought negatively of Selma Hayek. I actually have a very high opinion of her and her work. I agree that her problem is with feminism, but I suppose we disagree on what her problem exactly is. I think based on her actions and words that her real issue is with the term…

You make a damn fair point. For me, the problem in this particular instance is two fold.

First, she didn't articulate any problems with the intention versus actions of the feminist movement, so I have no real reason to assume that her problem is that the political movement of feminism isn't living up to nor aligning…

Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with that point of view. In fact, I think it's a real issue that needs to be addressed. But that's not remotely what she said. Her reasoning for not being a feminist was a belief in equality between men and women which illustrates a complete misunderstanding of the…

Oh no! The World Health Organization is contributing?! That is crazy!

(Sorry... this is an awful story. And you raise a wonderfully valid question, but I can't turn off the smartass switch in my brain.)

I know the family that owns her. Not well (friends of friends), but they're really nice people. They have a bunch of animals that they take good care of. They're well aware of her limitations, and they make sure she's treated well if that makes you feel any better. (They even had her mom fixed despite a lot of…

I always got weird vibes off Bill Cosby. I grew up loving The Cosby Show, but he always seemed liked someone I wouldn't trust. I never thought sexual assault or anything like that as a kid, but he seemed mean to me. I absolutely loved everyone else on the show though. I always wondered what was wrong with me that…

Besides the obvious flaws in his rant, I think it's quite interesting that he's basically trying to say: "They've made up what I feel to be arbitrary rules that mean that I have to hold back on being myself and giving my opinion or else I get chastised and risk career mobility." Of course he says it without even a…

So, yeah, I think this article is unfair, which sucks because now I feel inclined to defend a person I really don't care to defend. The biggest issue is that Bristol Palin never once said she was as classy, well-educated, or articulate as Chelsea Clinton. So cherry picking quotes to prove something that wasn't…

I think it depends on the specific animal. You're probably right that traditionally dogs are generally more responsive than cats to negative reinforcement.

But my family's dog, though responsive, does not really adjust in the right ways to negative reinforcement. For instance, if a bag of trash is accidentally left in…

Not that it makes a big difference, but is there a middle section of this conversation that's missing?

It's hilarious enough that he starts by complimenting her writing skills only to call her illiterate later, but how quickly he freaks out while telling her to take meds is the icing on the cake.

It's no less awful or…

I'm curious, but I'd rather never know. The beauty of this story is in its lack of detail. "Brokenhearted Person Did Absolutely Ridiculous (Yet Somehow Mundane) Thing" is something most of the world can relate to.

But, also, that opinion comes because for me it's less about feeling terrible for her than it is about…

Veronica Mars and smoking was my KFC

I once actively clicked on an article of no interest to me as well. The desire to have my voice heard about this lack of interest was overwhelming. I had never cared so much about letting people know that I cared so little. We should date... or at least join a book club together.

Oh, totally fair. I think there are a lot of reasons why we're still interested, but you're right. I'm sure the political repercussions are certainly high on the list.

I guess I was just falling down the rabbit hole of this discussion. Interest is one thing, but the level of criticism she receives is just not…

But see, that's exactly what's wrong with this discussion. Her actions, her mistakes are actually of minor consequence to anyone other than her. If it hadn't been her, it would have been someone else. There are at least 2 other significant and confirmed instances of Clinton's marital indiscretion while holding…
