Articles like this- well-researched, nuanced, adding historical context to today's topics, sharply analyzed, and well-written- are my favorite part of the Jez: The Next Generation

"A kaleidoscope of cullah in the pahk"...Bill you are delicious and I wish you to narrate my life.

Movies by yourself are the best. You're not talking to anyone anyway so company/conversation isn't missed and you get to pick all the snacks and don't have to share. AND you only have to look for one seat.

I don't miss that aspect of living in New York at all. I miss other things about it though.

I can claim no understanding of how my gender thinks this to be appropriate.

Jamy Amos: I was a cornflake girl and proud of it

They are posers, true germaphobes have not gotten on an airplane since 1968.

I was there live and it was really fun!

Yeah, I think it's a phase a lot of women go through. I was totally a Cool Girl in high school. I thought that because I like football, video games, comics, and prefer whiskey to vodka I was different from the OTHER girls. I thought I could only get along with my select fellow Cool Girl friends as far as women went…

Yes, but a) marriage has nothing to do with it and b) Actual biblical sex is pretty damn kinky and involves mistresses and lot's of stuff that will absolutely get you an STI. So... his science is right but his religion is wrong, surprisingly.

Scalia's Ideal America: where driving 200 miles and sleeping in your car for a three-day waiting period is not a substantial burden for women seeking an abortion, but a two-page form is definitely too much for a large Catholic corporation to have an Executive Secretary spend five minutes filling in.

I take my daughter to vote with me, and she is like my trainer since I stay super skinny just by chasing her around. It's called "The Kelly Ripa Program."

This. Another example- here in MO, a woman can walk around topless. The 'girls' can just hang out. However, there can be no sexual connotation to their freedom. Topless sunbathing in your front yard- fine. Dancing topless around a pole in your front yard (particularly in Lucite stilettos)- illegal. It's not…

This pisses me off a lot as something who works in immigration. The paperwork immigrants have to fill out/produce to come here is astounding (like 12 pounds of astounding) but somehow 2 pages is a substantial burden for businesses? Yea okay...

I know a lot of people hate on Sarah Silverman but I love her. This was awesome.

I have just decided this will be my new litmus test/response to catcalls - using the classic "your mom" to throw a catcall back at a catcaller. Example from your post: "Hey honey, nice legs!" "Your mom has nice legs!" He is weirded out and/or offended? Good, because that's how you feel too.

But if you miscarry, you will have to go to court to prove that you did not do something stupid, that you have not willfully miscarried. You will go to jail for murder, if you just so much as had a drink during pregnancy, and the baby miscarried.

Nope. Doesn't work like that I'm afraid. Any minor who has a miscarriage has obviously committed manslaughter, and should also be put on trial. Also, I'm sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss , dear. I know how hard that is.

There's a fine line between inoffensive flirting with a stranger at Starbucks or the grocery store that could lead to a date, and offensive catcalling. These dudes haven't learned that line, or more likely, don't care.
