My wife is constantly leaving stuff in books and then forgetting where they are. Money, Post-It notes, receipts-whatever she can stick between the pages of a book, you better believe that she will.

Tilda Swinton and Lupita Nyong'o play the star-crossed lovers. Tom Hiddleston is their guardian angel trying to bring them back together. Nic Cage is the demon trying to keep them apart. Jim Varney is the folksy bookstore employee who finds the letter. Benedict Cumberbatch is Tilda's asexual, aloof older brother. …

That's totally irrelevant to the entire spirit and point of my comment. I didn't say: "If this is their culture they should get a pass." What I said is, "The idea that the ever-more-commonly held belief that children must be perpetually supervised in certain conditions is not universal — look at all these parents who…

I get what you were saying, and saw that you qualified it.

Victory!

It was ever thus, when it comes to talking about the children, even with mostly like-minded feminists on the internet. Or, like, your family and friends.

Totally relevant to all the commenters I am responding to who made blanket statements about children never being left alone and never being outside in the cold (who, for the record, I state very specifically that I'm responding you in both the first and last sentences of my comment).

ps: For the love of all that is holy just type "fucking" like an adult, not a bunch of asterisks.

I want to thank you for sharing your story. I haven't married the one who like you was the only one who 'got' that something I 'need' in more than just the sexual definition... and people don't even understand how much strength it takes to peel yourself away and undo your entire being to be healthier.

I am so glad you…

I'm reading this and I feel like I might throw up. Aside from the part where I am not dead, this could be a story about me and my ex-husband. I'll freely admit to an anonymous room full of strangers that it takes a very particular thing for me to feel fully involved in a sexual encounter, and that thing is blades,…

I probably wouldn't be at my best if I'd had THIRTY-NINE techs at my house in a 6 month period of time. If she's still working and had to take time off to sit and wait for them, I can't believe she didn't burn a Comcast location down. I worked in customer service and I know there are people who come out the gate,…

I think I understand why Sulkowicz wrote what she wrote to him, but I truly don't understand what she thinks the university or anyone else is supposed to do about it. The only two people who know what happened are her and the guy, but if she has no evidence, whether physical or circumstantial, there's not a whole hell…

That has nothing to do with what I just said, but ok.

I will absolutely agree with you that one purpose of makeup is to enhance features that we want to use to attract sexytime partenrs, and that the reason we find certain features sexually attractive is deeply rooted in biology.

My goodness. you certainly are committed to this role you're playing as a misogynist. Just a hint, if you want to be more believable you should be a little more subtle with how you portray your hatred for feminists and all women. Real misogynists actually pretend to like women, they're not so blatant about it.

I never wear dark matte lipstick because I have thin lips and I don't look good in it. But now that I know it's misandry, I might have to go for it.

My favorite thing is when guys say they like girls who don't wear makeup. Every time a man says that, I laugh (in his face) and laugh and laugh and laugh and then explain that they actually don't.

Yah, I'm like 'Excuse you, terrifying man-eating creature of the night is what I am going for'.

Possibly my most favorite part about this whole dumb thing is that if you go on the brewery tour at Anheuser-Busch, they will call attention, at one point, to an antique chandelier they have hanging in one part of their facility.
