I think it's worth pointing out that women are consistently told their medical issues are less serious than those of men. Women are significantly less likely to receive medication for pain from a doctor, and are more likely to be told it's a psychological issue. Cool.

I've been playing all The Sims game since 2001, I would say that I'm pissed about TS4 because I'm tired of EA turning over the game for some type of improvement, which doesn't seem very significant from TS3, and then in starting over we lose all the abilities from the EPs that came out (pets, vacation, university,…

So off topic. I've developed independently for TS since TS2, anybody else skeptical about TS4? Anybody else find TS3 to be a huge memory drain? I've got a slick rig that my fiance built for me, and the bloody game is sloooow.

Your comment really isn't a response to the question. It's just a comment that people shouldn't rape other people. Let me take the opportunity to officially go on the record and say that I wholeheartedly agree.

I wonder what the best legal defense of accused rapists is that *doesn't* involve smearing the victim.

It's "Undone - The Sweater Song"

You're an idiot. gourmet goober may not be a parent, but he/she was at one time a child who has experience in being able to privately communicate about very personal issues with a medical professional without an overbearing parent. Regarding this very specific issue, it's not about being a parent, it's about being…

Good for you! For both asserting your right to an opinion and doing so gracefully.

Um, I wasn't making judgements. It was just a question I posed. Especially since as a person who grew up in a fairly religious family and went to Catholic School for the first 1o years of life-I didn't see how a few minutes would radically change who I am. So chill the fuck out, ok? I've been taking foster parenting…

OMG, my friend from college literally just posted this on FB a few days ago. When we asked her the same question (how can 5 minutes undo a lifetime of parental teachings) the feedback I got from other commenters was that since I wasn't a parent I could never understand-basically invalidating my opinion.

Nope nope nope nope nope nope ;)

Doug this was gold. Dead accurate and full of brilliant one liners that I know you have been trying to somehow mold into an article for some time.

College is not supposed to be vocational school. It really is supposed to (just) make you more educated. Back when I was an academic advisor, I had to explain this to a lot of people.

We really need to undo what the "educational professionals" have done to higher education in these united states, and return higher education to the purpose of "making you a more well rounded and worldly individual" vice vocational training.

I think you might be missing some terminology context. There's a distinction in conflict theory between people who were directly killed or injured (primary victims) and those who were not but witnessed the act and experienced harm (secondary victims). I read it as saying that even if women weren't physically hurt,…

You have got to be shitting me. Women and children, not in combat, are the primary victims of war, by and large, you idiot. They aren't usually soldiers. Soldiers are not victims. That's part of the whole deal. Are there male victims? Yes. But, as she was at an event discussing women, war, and domestic violence, she…

Are you talking about male civilians who are killed in war? Because soldiers are not victims. The job of a soldier is to be willing to die, that's why soldiers are considered brave because they knowingly accept the great risks that are inherent in their profession.

We watched hockey, but that was it (I went to school in Canada, so...). We also watched the Challenger news.

In schools, during big events like Olympics gold-medal games and stuff, they broadcast live and all the children watch in the gymnasium. It's usually sports.
