Honestly I'm beginning to wonder if they do realize it's inflammatory and stupid.

This rock-hard 6-pack abs trend with guys has gotten out of hand IMO. Some of them look so hard and brittle they could shatter.

Doesn't that kind of put the cart before the horse or the chicken before the egg or something? If it hadn't been artificially normalized, girls would be able to get married without it. Somebody originally came up with the idea for some reason.

Oh now that you mention it, for us it's been the "red scare." People are always asserting that communism (and now socialism) and Christianity are somehow mutually exclusive and that's been used to dismantle workers' unions and corporate regulations, to lower taxes on the wealthy - all that supply-side stuff that's…

Mr. Clean looks like a buff sailor President Eisenhower. I guess women liked him.

It's got to be oil and economics. And I think we're doing a similar thing here tying things like SUV ownership and consumerism with Christian family values.

What if you go back a step or two and look at what led to the Islamic revolution and revival, the political and economic benefits of decentralizing power.

I PMd Hortense but I'm not sure if those instructions are up-to-date.

I grew up in a household headed by a single mother and that model was still expected. Influence of television I suppose.

Yes I did by somebody named aptsuper2 and I'm wondering why.

So what are the practical reasons for FGC?

Same with women with young children. To a lesser degree, that's what the anti-reproductive-rights-family-values thing here in the west is about too.

Our women are more educated and they still earn less, have a harder time getting jobs, and are expected to jump the job ship when the babies come. Babies. They're good for putting women in their place.

I remember as a very pretty 20 year old I was just dying to get into exotic isolated locales with dorky older dudes who felt I owed them something, so this should really take off.

Same reason the Middle East does, really. They're just more balls-out with it.

I think it's economics. I think that might be the most important part of it. If you set things up so every man should feel entitled to his own little domestic feifdom, he's the king of his castle, powerless men get to feel powerful. It keeps the men appeased and it keeps the women silent and then the government can…

Whoever has the most corporate buddies gets the biggest donations can run the most ads creating the most name recognition. And all the voters are wage slaves just trying to hold their heads above water and FOX News scares the shit out of them and CNN is covering Heidi Klum's divorce.

So you're just ignoring all the studies that have been done on most commonly employed acts and depictions in porn and how it's gotten more violent and more ubiquitous and that people are reporting real negative consequences to their sex lives and relationships and views of women and just make it out like I'm seeking…

He said you left a little girl in charge. Peggy was doing Don's work while he was on "love leave" with Megan.

It's so much better than the old formula of "men want her; women want to be her."
