It was the same with that biologist (Tim Hunt?) who won the Nobel prize for biology but apparently can’t work in labs with women. I’m supposed to feel bad that a 70+yr old man who has had every opportunity to succeed is publicly humiliated by his own words/actions but not spare a thought for the women who were forced…

Good. Let's hope he never feels compelled to do that again.

How will men and women EVER develop relationships if men can’t hit on every woman in every workplace ever?! The human race will cease to exist if men can’t be sexually aggressive in every situation where they are attracted to a random woman.

I don’t work in a lab but I do work in a very diverse workplace. I have colleagues of all genders, sexual orientations, races, religions, etc. We manage to treat each other respectfully and not hit on each other all the time. Also, we recognize inappropriate behavior all the time. It’s not hard.

Couldn’t his wife come up with a more gendered insult than “hysterical”? Really?

Don't forget the possible resulting skin cancer and all the pain of that treatment.

I get the impression that, for light reading, he favours that book of witty, Christian sayings for your church announcement board. You know, like “God answers knee-mail” and shit like that.

Graham Norton does the best interviews. His sofa is always the best and he gets the best reactions out of his guests. I hope he never goes to the States and does a shitty version of his show there.

I caught a re-run a few years ago and found myself laughing out loud at some moments that were supposed to be dramatic. Never good.

There's this funny thing that reporters used to do where they would get details before they ran a story. Huh. Funny, isn't it?

I told my nephew that he was too emotional and irrational on the subject of assessing the hazards posed by guns to have a discussion about it.

Not if everyone refused to watch.

I would probably end up gushing about this chandelier he made once out of metal maple leaves and bent iron rods. It was beautiful and he made it for about $20 in supplies.

Hay? I remember moss being glued to a wall but not hay. I remember thinking I’d only do that show if they guaranteed me Vern Yip as the designer of my room.

Right? I mean, obviously she's suing to get the insurance to pay her medical bills. Good clickbait headlines are hard to come by though.

We do disagree. I’m an atheist. God isn’t there, regardless of what you do to help yourself.

If you let your child die rather than get life-saving treatment for them, then you deserve to go to prison. End of story.

Actually, putting God before your child(ren) is exactly how to do the Abrahamic faiths - so named because Abraham was prepared to sacrifice his son (the only sort of child that matters) Isaac on God's command.

You mean he answers your prayers when they aren’t necessary because people are actually working on saving your child’s life?

You could read Shannon Moroney’s “Through the Glass.” Moroney was married to a serial rapist (who used their home for his crimes when she was away at work conferences). Moroney works with the families of perpetrators and she’s got a lot of interesting insights.
