Yawn. You're going to have to troll a little bit harder.

My 50-something pot-smoking pretend-hippie parents were all over this book a few years ago—way ahead of the Goopster. It was pretty embarrassing/ridiculous filling up a glass from the 5 gallon water jug — a jug which my father had in black sharpie scrawled "PEACE" and "LOVE" backwards on, so the water could "read" it.…

To be fair, it's not the first time people have killed in the name of something that isn't real.

I was just telling my fiancé that we should use the rest of our wedding fund for this. The chance to meet LeVar and wear THE VISOR from TNG is a way better experience than a dumb wedding.

Me too! I'm the super geek that truly believes that reading opens new worlds to you and those worlds are amazing! I always try to donate to domestic literacy programs when I can.

Are you saying Gordon Ramsay LIED to me and didn't magically save all those restaurants, change lives and heal families all in the same week!??

I'm hoping we can reach a point where taking care of your basic needs and maintaining a household are ungendered activities, and just part of being, you know, a grown-ass adult, but the persistent masculine resistance to housework is still mindboggling to me. Like guys who proudly proclaim that they can't cook at all…

Lesson or Skill: How to be emotionally independent

Lesson or Skill: A love of reading

Well, I'm a woman, a feminist, and a history buff. My personal "answer" (could be right, could be wrong) is that there have always been people with hateful attitudes such as we are seeing expressed in the dark corners of the Internet, only what they did in the past was go to war. Nowadays, for whatever reason,…

Me too. As a straight man, I literally don't know what I'm supposed to do to help fix this situation. I just do my best to not be a piece of shit myself and hope it sort of filters out to other people.

I salute you and your expressiveness.

You are correct about the mental illness and the fact that he was not irrational. If anything I he was a psychopath.

It's like the most vile corner of the internet come to life with this killer. I now view every MRA I come across as a potential rapist/murderer.

Most MRAs are too chickenshit to go on killing sprees, but they all want to. It's a hate group, like the KKK.

Dude, mental illness is a diagnosis, not an excuse. He *is* a creepy freak. There are plenty of people with mental illnesses worse than you're assuming he has that never hurt anyone.

Yeah I unfortunately just figured that out with a trip to Wizardchan. Fucking chilling:

All day, sassypantses on the Internet have been telling me that this has nothing to do with misogyny, nothing to do with a patriarchal society, nothing to do with anything but mental illness and not getting enough love as a child. I'm just...gonna leave this...here...

Love that the wizards or whatever call out Jezebel in that thread. Because we are obviously the issue here.

I read the Princess Bride as a youngster, and that saying really helped me. It still does. Life isn't fair! There's no balance, no karma. Sometimes the best people get the worst hand and the worst get rewarded beyond all reason. And yet...we live. The randomness is kind of comforting to me. No, it's not something you…
