Yeah, that was a red flag for me. But if its a way of reaching a demographic of women who don't self-examine then I can get past it. Time will tell. Maybe they can reclaim the phrase, but that seems unlikely.

Yeah, its one of those things that if you don't know the specifics you are likely fine but hard to get past we you read.

I love brunch and really most short-order breakfast menus. That said, eggs benedict are much harder to eat after reading Kitchen Confidential. Damn you Anthony!

Husband here....never been slapped by my wife or any of my girlfriends prior to marriage. None of my friends have commented on ever being slapped so I think your gross generalization of relationships is without basis.

I don't know...I look back to other sports and endeavors that were considered unfair to shorter people and they helped expand the sport when they overcame it. Specifically I am thinking about Lynn Hill's climb of the Nose in which she performed some sort of houdini move that opened up the first free ascent of the…

Did that person really try to compare the nudity on GQ whose self-proclaimed target audience is males 25-39 to supporting the issue of breastfeeding? Really? I don't consider that cover pornographic but that line is obviously different for everyone. That said I don't see how this about body shaming so much as…

I don't think there could be a more visceral lesson on how the world can treat women and non-heterosexual men the past few months. Its a reality that is lived everyday by women and LGBTQI individuals across the world that I "knew" about but so rarely experienced. Its heartbreaking and disillusioning to see how…

Yeah, that seems the best potential application. The language of the posts doesn't leave much confidence in it being a great first line form of pregnancy control or STD prevention but it seems like it could be significant for those you mention around the world.

I was coming to terms with not being traditionally masculine at the time and I remember it being one of the first influences that taught me that was acceptable.

Yeah, I look back on that film with fondness. Its romantic sentimentalism was a little heavy handed but sometimes that is what we need. Plus, for me, it was uplifting to find a film about a male mentor that shucked standard masculinity and chose to show we could embrace emotion and the wide-array of human experience…

I don't think I am alone in appreciating his work, both comedy and drama (often intermingled). Don't think I will be able to unpack his suicide due to depression for a while considering I have dealt with depression consistently for 20 years. That disease has the perseverance to bring down the best of us is all I…

Yeah, I had no idea about his depression. As someone who is going on 2 decades of coping with depression its frightening and disillusioning to hear about individuals who it kills. I look forward to the day we have more medical tools to deal with its deadly grip.

The ones who didn't value human life are the couple who walked off a cliff for a photo. Human actions have consequences.

WTF?

hehe....yep, I have no respect for those jewish war prisoners who died at the hands of merciless fascists because of my playful use of the term "grammar nazi". You summed it up well there. Completely ignorant of how gross humanity can be to each other. I have no humanity nor care about the importance of language in…

hehe....I get a kick out of it that you think calling you a grammar nazi means I am comparing anything to the holocaust. too funny. Gain some context my friend. And yep, fully aware I Godwinned ya. "Grammar Nazi" is the one name I freely use and most people I know do because we are able to recognize context and…

evidently grammar superiority does not translate to rationality and the importance of scale. YoU Hav Ben Sum fn enter train meant tho

You remind of the english teachers who sucked the life out recreational reading for me during most of my youth. Luckily I found out most people aren't like you and care more about the content than occasional poor infrastructure. Some of us come to terms with our loose use of a rather fluid language instead of…
