@PrincessAlyx: Woo Arthurian names. Can we bring Gawain back? Or at least Lancelot.

@Pickard.AL: ... As a total non-WASP, I reserve the right to call one of my children Beckett. Or Joyce. Don't tell me Joyce isn't a great name for a kid.

@femme-bot: "Like any person should do"? Sorry, I'm having trouble reading that one: do you mean any person should get drunk and let unwanted guys touch their vaginas? (I know that isn't what you mean! I just don't get the last part, sorry).

I can understand the dissatisfaction with American Apparel's mendacity here and their misogynist advertising in general. I do have a problem with the inherent classism of indicting one brand for their all-American sexism while ignoring virtually every other brand's use of child labour and sweat-shops in the…

@NefariousNewt: Exactly. Clinton doesn't have time to go publicity fishing. Because she cares about her job. And if that makes her less "influential," I have gravely misunderstood politics.

@missdelite: Me too. But that's not to say that I feel Peck's dignity isn't "intact" here. That seems like a pretty loaded term to describe a 19-year-old girl in a very compromised situation. I don't know what I would have done with a bunch of assistants and a highly-respected photographer urging me to do something; I…

@sophomoric: "They woudl all be significantly more attractive if they weren't so skinny".

@AnneV6: Yes, and being "human" does necessarily mean we're disgusting shallow misogynists.

@sophomoric: "Why are you girls getting so upset"? Oh you just know that's going to fly on a feminist website...

@Anne is Spiderman: And with equal sarcasm aside, I would be proud to have a fraction of your dignity and good humour in the face of what you went through. In summary, you're awesome. So thank you.

@gibbler: Of course it's not what she looks like in real life, because it's a two-dimensional glossy image considerably smaller than lifesize. I don't think that is going to give young girls complexes about wanting to be two-dimensional and glossy, just as I don't think "hair envy" ranks among the many things that are…

@MizJenkins: If "the player" is a woman who uses her sexual attractiveness in order to get something that I've worked harder for or deserve more than she does, I will hate the player. I would never act that way to any woman — I guess because, as corny as this sounds, I do have a sense of sisterhood, and I think any…

@Sword of Destiny: Hearted. And is your post office queue not sexy? Because my post office queue would blow your mind.

@Anne is Spiderman: You majored in English?

@travis.ballie: It's always nice to know when I "should probably be aroused". How else would I know?

@bucklin.nathan: It's a pretty horrible situation for all concerned, and hey, you have my sympathies. I'm sorry you went through something like that and I know how hard it can be to tell someone you want to stop. But like you said, she's not a mind-reader: there was implied consent and no coercion, so personally I…

@GiggleLoop: Yes! "People who are used to living with risks" and "people who read philosophy" are two entirely intersecting Venn diagrams right there.

@Anne is Spiderman: I am so sorry for what you went through.

@Betsy: He could not be prouder that he read a book once.

@BrutallyHonestBabes (aka Mrs. Sarah.of.a.Lesser.Hobbit): Oh so hearted. Oh so very, very hearted.
