Not foolproof, unfortunately. Mine offered exactly that. He’s still a sexist ass who tries to bully his daughter if he doesn’t get his way. Less often now, come to think of it; she was a much easier target when she was six.

Wait till you have kids and real household work to divide before you decide how liberal and feminist your boyfriend is. Amazing how many just have excellent pre-baby game. I’m sure my ex’s new gf thinks he’s all kinds of wonderful and feminist, but truth is bae ain’t paid regular child support in months and is still,…

Are you noticing how in all the states where people can read, they’re voting for Bernie?

Please. This guy’s had, no joke, like a million dollars’ worth of NIH money to study this shit. For that kind of money you could bring back H&H. Which would you choose?

In fact I’m all in favor of an online archive of hideous young men, someplace prospective employers, landlords, girlfriends, students, etc. can just go and look them up. We really should not have to deal with their bullshit decade after decade. Want to be horrible to women online? Okay, but you’ll pay for a long,…

Look, man, this is ridiculous. Just archive everything these people say and send it to their employers, forever. And their intended spouses, forever. And their children, forever. I’ve had it with this shit.

I don’t get it, was she going as the Greatest American Hero?

Awesome. So where do I sign up for the free daycare, national healthcare, child stipend and free public university? Also, it’s good to know my job will be held for me when I’m out for a year on mat leave.

Not strange at all. I’ve been yelled at plenty for saying that gay men have been horrible when it comes to returning favors, that they’re very happy to use us for support but then do a piss-poor job of supporting women’s issues. It’s still true.

Damned if I can recall any gay men’s groups out demonstrating with us on…

Go away and put your tiny head in a garbage disposal.

Yes, and fuck every last one of them.

Yeah, my kid’s from one of those, and she just...uh, is nice and gets her homework done. And gets into the fancy smart kid programs. And yet, no crime, & dislikes Seinfeld because it’s just “people making terrible life decisions.”

Thank you.

I don’t think they understand that the harmless-nerd jig is up.

Purdum was at the Times before, wasn’t he? Probably thinks he’s moved way into the “I take women’s issues seriously” camp since then.

I’m going to remember you next time I hear someone making a quasi-reasonable argument against draconian estate taxes. I’ll think — no, actually they’re mostly profoundly selfish, thoughtless people like that Jez commenter. Tax away.

“you think it’s empowering but you aren’t old enough to know yet that it isn’t”

except that this is true.

I keep getting, “You’re not that old!” like it’s a terrible thing. My college boyfriend turned 50 this week. I wear progressive lenses and have discovered that much of the dimness attributed to olds is actually their getting used to partial blindness; it’s hard to do and a bit tiring, and you fumble a lot. Some of my…

Play the long game and fight — even better, get the very best divorce lawyer in town, and let the lawyer fight. Hard. Don’t let go of the money, don’t let go of any kids. Don’t say yes to sharing custody. Expect that he’s going to try to screw you for as long as you have minor kids together, and protect yourself for…

Please go have a look at Criterion’s director listing and see if you detect the problem. Then go and email Jon Mulvaney and let Criterion know they need not only to work harder on this but to hire people who will do the job, since clearly their current staff is helpless when it comes to finding good films made by…
