Even if you disagree with her opinions, Erin is trustworthy. I can't imagine her putting up a post like Morrissey did.

I don't agree that it's cognitive dissonance. She supports (or supported) stop and frisk because she wanted stronger law enforcement on the streets. She came up with the Hollaback partnership so they can put more law enforcement on certain streets. The idea of this being hypocritical comes if you ignore her intent and…

The problem is that it that eliminating unpaid internships doesn't mean companies would switch to paid ones. Even though the internship "market" seems much different when you're graduating college, about half of internships are paid, and there are fewer than a million unpaid internship positions a year (I'd have to…

That's the same link I used in my prior post. The first three polls listed have- 1. only about 20% taking the position of legal in all cases, which is the position feminism takes, 2. 55% supporting 20 week caps instead of 24, which mirrors the bills in play now that feminists are calling a war on women 3. About 60-65%…

I don't think conservatives will come around, at least not until everyone else has. I'm only concerned with how it limits the number of moderates. When you look at how strongly most issues associated with feminism poll versus how poorly abortion with the current or fewer restrictions polls, there's obviously a…

If you're so good a lawyer, why were you barred from multiple juridictions?

I don't speak Spanish, and I see this all the time. The oldest kid translates for the parents, and since their income situation usually means both parents have to work, they watch the younger kids and do tons of chores around the house.

I think we also have to include the areas where feminism has hurt itself along with the external factors that hurt it. Some areas that have hurt the label (and movement), in my opinion:

Just one note...I certainly didn't mean to suggest it was important or as terrible as the Obama example. I just did that because this article is an overreach from liberals, so I threw in a conservative analogy to compare. Well, that and the fact that the Obama analogy was the only one I could think of!

No, that's his real nose!

Since two outlets happened to have 3 unnamed sources, I'd suggest that usually means someone has a concerted effort to get it out now. No idea whether that's someone connected to MLB or someone mad at Braun, but the timing is likely simply because someone wanted it out now.

Agree. I also don't think he melted down. He was surprised by a gotcha moment and stammered his way to saying "if you are willing to sit here while I read it", followed by assurances that they will be forthcoming if MLB is really waiving the clause.

I get what you're saying. But we simply have different views on whether it's acceptable for this to start a discussion. I don't this it is, which is why I'm not commenting directly on whether the show has diversity problems and sticking to criticism of the specific article instead. Or at least I'm trying to do it that…

There are a few different ways it might (or might not) be unfair:

My problem is that the first paragraph here acknowledges how women are underrepresented, especially flawed main characters. We also know that there aren't enough minorities on TV.

That's what confused me about the article. If true, it's obviously because girls are taught to be risk averse. I don't think stating it is sexist, but merely pointing out the results of sexism.

I disagree. That's true if you're making more than a partner. But assuming everything is 50/50 for the sake of a hypothetical, both people should have more money at the end. Combining income helps because it's easier to scale. Usually costs aren't doubled, as you pay less per person for rent and utilities than you…

Thank you. I feel like the premise of this post (not the original article, which seems to be lighthearted) is based on one sentences:

You made me think of Lizz Winstead great old joke that, if men had to have abortions, you could get one at McDonald's.

Yeah, she was much better in this than in most of what she's done. A better actress with some charisma might have done more, but I thought Prepon stepped up from what she normally has done.
