I'm sorry, did you not read the first post, where I said "I completely understand why other people didn't like the articles, and that's entirely their prerogative."? Or did you just choose to read that as "Fuck other people and their problems and their opinions."?

I kind of agree that a "told you so" pile-on isn't necessary. She said she feels sick about it...and hell, I'm kind of glad we didn't mention his name. You know that guy a Google Alert for his name hard-wired directly into his cerebral cortex.

It should have been titled, "I bet you think this post is about you, don't you?"

Former Jez contributor and polarizing* figure Hugo Schwyzer had an enormous public meltdown wherein he confirmed critics suspicions of him all along.

And I will say, I kind of like the way they've chosen to do it.

Maybe everyone's experience isn't exactly like yours.

No. There is a difference between protests and harassment. Protests are when you stand outside of a building and hold signs and chant things. Harassment is when you aggressively target people by practically blocking their way into a building and shouting things at them. Not to mention that protests tend to be…

People changing their behavior to be more "white" is just what the racists want, though.

To me, it was the being uninvited *after* the fact that makes this messed up. That's just straight up tacky.

Ugh. That is shitty, shitty parenting, and they should be told it is, but... Yeah, best you can do is keep your daughter away from families that say superheroes aren't for her.

My parents are the same way. They and my grandfather lectured me constantly about how I should have moved "home" after college, and how I should use my degree to work as an assistant manager in a movie theater.

OMG, we must have the same mom. My mom has been in the same career for decades and gives all of my younger siblings, nieces and nephews the same canned advice from a generation ago. Yet she is nearing retirement with $0 in the bank, still renting and growing medical issues that she cannot afford to take care of, but…

I think it is generational, for sure. My parents have been continually flabergasted at how much my brother and I have switched jobs, both from quitting on our own or being laid off.

Ugh. My mom is the same way. I try not to talk about work with her anymore, otherwise I just get really frustrated and annoyed.

I have always done the "right" thing with employers, even if it was to my harm. But my advice to young people is to do what is best for you, because your employer will always do what's best for it. I wouldn't be stupid about it, like Weiner's intern was (who does her confession benefit?). My perfect example of this…

I have some issues with counting aborted girls are "missing women." That sounds a lot like the kind of thing pro-life organizations in the West would say. Aborted female fetuses are just that, and nothing more.

Plant it maybe? Then she would have a potato plant that grew from a heart, and she could think of her husband every time she saw the plant.

I sort of feel like a man who would create such a legal burden on society and who has held up progress on actually finding the real killer/s should be kept locked up. He may not be guilty of murder, but he sure isn't innocent.

Yes, because be considerate and compassionate is always a dick move.

That last sentence should actually say, "Other racists have pointed out that 'yankee' has been used as a pejorative term," because are you fucking serious.
