You must be a guy. Do you know what "Just ignore him" gets you? It gets you "Hey, I was just tryin to be nice!" "Don't you know how to smile?" "Bitch, I'm talkin to you!" "Somebody ought to teach you some manners!" "Anybody tell you you're fat, too?" "Fuck you, you stupid c**t!" And, of course, there are the…

this is a powerful piece and one that carries the force of your anger as well as the need for all of us to remember what happened and keep demanding justice for people being murdered by cops run amok.

They have changed their stories so many times they should be writing for television.

for heaven's sake, I at least appreciate the difference between powerful, eye and ear catching rhetoric and punditry.

So much for the excuse "What's wrong with me wanting to tell a woman she's attractive? It's all harmless!" Now everybody knows what women know instinctively. It's not complimentary, it's trouble, and it could go bad in a flash.

Full Cast Audio did the recording, as well as some of Heinlein's other great titles—star Beast and Tunnel in the Sky, to name just two.

I hope they lock him up forever.

She gives me a Monday morning happy, badly needed!

I think the male hysteria and pure vitriol that surfaced over such a plain question is a pointer to the kind of rage some men still feel in our supposedly liberated time about women and anything to do with lady parts. No wonder we're getting so much shit on the birth control, contraception, rape and assault fronts,…

You ought to have a sit-down strike at the very least. A woman has to have principles, dammit.

Okay, she got me. I've been keeping my opinion of Rowling at lukewarm, but this is something only an author could do for a fan, and she did it. I'm an author of books for kids. Any author who does something so special for a fan is alright by me.

Being fearless is not a requirement—in fact she'll be a helluva lot more interesting if she DOES reveal fear when she's in the shadows, fear and uncertainty, at least in the beginning. It's ACTING fearless in the face of the enemy that matters. It's building herself as a female hero that will earn her bigger…

I hear wishful thinking and there's no one there...

you know nothing, Jack Troll. Go read up on why women are so wary.

truth or sarcasm? I'm not sure. I wrote it straight up.

not this fresh!

All you can do is the best you can. You write and talk about what you perceive as needing repair, as do a number of us. Others are in health care, child care, law enforcement, social work, and all the other jobs that add to quality of life rather than rip it apart. We donate, contribute, put money in the wrinkled…

one person's narcissism is another person's contribution to society.
