Why not hate a society that pushes women to have children, no matter what they feel? Hate the society that insists that everything will be totally fine once you hold that baby in your arms rather than the women that fell prey to it.

The problem is, by saying you only feel sympathy for their children and not for these women stuck doing something they regretted, you're ensuring that women will continue to feel ashamed for having these feelings and they won't speak about this frankly to people close to them or anyone else, and will keep these…

This has been nuts to watch. So...if the argument is that violent video games are an art, and they don't encourage real-life violence and misogyny, maybe the rabid faction could stop using paramilitary language while planning coordinated online harassment campaigns on anonymous internet boards, and stop obsessively…

I explained in the article what spurred it. Did you miss that or not believe it? There were allegations last week that Sarkeesian lied about informing the police about harassment. A critic of hers had a person from the SFPD on audio saying they hadn't heard from Sarkeesian. That was certainly a story I felt we should…

(Meanwhile, at the evil fortress of Game-Hating Feminism)

Totilo: I did just as you commanded, my mistress! I posted the story about the bomb threat on the same day a conservative feminist critic said something else about video games!

Anita: Excellent! With Kotaku under my evil feministy grasp of evil! I can continue…

Yes and why was Sommers' article entitled so devisively as to make her seem dismissive rather than simply responding to concerns that are perpetuated by polarizing critics? It's almost as though petty bullshit is Kotaku's way of telling the world they aren't happy unless they aren't happy.

Wait, that's Lauren Conrad? So who is the blonde that that guy who is not Ryan Goslin married to?

I know you're just trying to start a gender war in here, but you're funny, you used "fewer" correctly, and you're right about the size of my purse. I like you! Anyway, I can't fit a grandfather clock in my purse, because then I would have to take out all the bridal magazines and diamond-encrusted dildos I carry around…

It's really telling how many other commenters spotted the inconsistency and remembered last week's "WISE" verdict, too.

You're coming at it sideways. It's an actual element of the charge, which means that without injury that charge wouldn't even come up for consideration. It's true that he hasn't been convicted of the charge yet, but that's not the same thing as saying that 1) if the child was injured he'll be convicted, or 2) the…

My parents beat the shit out of me, and now I'm commenting on Deadspin.

RT @Ravens The child deeply regrets his role in the incident.

I have no doubt that they are super accurate. And super vague and applicable to nearly everyone, with small changes based on sign. Because Forer Effect.

If you have an interest in astrology, this explanation of why it works is really fascinating. It's about eight minutes long, but genuinely worth your time.

Mighty guffaws, much snorking of tea through nose!! Thanks for the morning larf!....

most of the logically-inclined would agree that Miller has a legitimate excuse for her tardiness

About the response I'd expect from people who literally think the universe revolves around them.

"It didn't always used to be this way. I used to only have sons. Things sure were different then. How merrily I used to drive down country lanes in my old Ford, periodically dodging off-road to mow down female pedestrians (you must remember I had no daughters then). Was what I did wrong? How was I to know? I had no…

How can "academic privilege" be an argument against someone who thinks astrology is invalid? Having an education is a good thing - it can teach us, among other things, to think critically. And the fact that astrology has traditionally been the domain of women, "handed down from ... mothers and grandmothers" is…
