@Chris Braak: While I get that or whatever, would you say the same thing about a thirteen-year-old girl and a revealing picture of a male celebrity? A lot of thirteen-year-olds don't feel sexual, or don't feel sexually attracted to the opposite gender.

@SarsDoesn'tSave: "Hey, women are total vacuous whores, aren't they? But you're not! That's cool for a girl! Can we hang out?"

@WillSmithsMom: While I hate the invocation of "misandry" in general, and I don't agree with you on that front, I also think the original statement was unfair. Not all men want or need someone to take care of them; dealing in gender stereotypes is a tactic which feminism should know better than to utilise.

@T-RO: I'm sorry that your life isn't working out for you right now, and I really hope it gets better.

@drunkexpatwriter: While, as I've already commented, I agree with the magnificent Jacques on this one, I don't think the notion of whether or not the commenters are "as smart" as him really matters. Society shouldn't be a "who's the smartest" competition. And I don't think Derrida would consider his opinions any more…

@drunkexpatwriter: I couldn't agree with this more. While I do think many developed Western countries are failing to teach basic literacy, especially in under-privileged areas, that's a serious systemic issue separate from individual spelling "mistakes" and worthy of discussion another time. Spelling or not being able…

@Thus Spake Kate is effulgent.: I don't know if you're serious, but...

@ronniedobbs: Hearted. What is the difference between "posing" and "being" here? The lack of a penis? Aren't we kind of past that? Or at the very least, shouldn't we be?

@rhubarbarin: But why do you feel it's your place to judge what people in the developed world eat? Food is a psychologically, financially and socially complex topic, and it's not always easy for people to eat whatever you feel would conform to your standards for healthy living. My point is, if people want to be…

@RetiredPartyGrrl: Well, it's irritating to me when people apply generalisations to specific incidents. For example, the statement, "in general, Irish people are more conservative than their British counterparts" is probably backed up by sociological stats. That doesn't mean it's okay to make Irishness part of a…

@taureanblack: As hello.kitty has already said, the fact that she was Chinese has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of this comment. Also, derogatory gendered insults can be upsetting to read and they're never necessary to get your point across.

I don't really think it's okay for a man to use the word "bitch" in a pejorative context. I just don't. Even if his wife slept with his best friend. Is his wife an asshole? Yes. Is his friend? Sure. But "bitch" just isn't okay for me in that context.

@chocho-san: So very, very hearted.

@Miz X: I didn't immediately assume that the child being spoken about was eleven. If anything, I think calling an eleven-year-old "slutty" is even more problematic than saying it about a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old. I think in the case of an eleven-year-old calling herself "Slut Machine" or posting sexually…

Upside of a Daughter's Slutty Girlfriends: they might be great, tough, loyal, empathetic, generous, challenging, hilarious, brave, right-on and exciting people. Which might be, I don't know, a hell of a lot more important than how much sex they have.

@Miz X: Yeah, what a perfectly reasonable thing to assume! How totally unproblematic for a man to classify some women he doesn't really know as "slutty"! You're right! How could that system ever go wrong?

@Thus Spake Kate is effulgent.: Misfits: yes. Always yes.

@rachel723: Hearrrrrrrrted. With extra consonants so you know I mean it.

So, who wants to argue that number one was appropriate? No? No takers? Looks like it doesn't really need the modifier.

@wtfox?!: If I hadn't already hearted you, you would be hearted SO HARD. In a way that didn't invade your personal space.
