My friends who are dads play the healers! Children are for tanking! (disposable)

For the babies one, another good deflection is:

Hey, and I spent HOURS knitting that sweater for you!

He could have put points up that show how her decisions could have a negative impact on the U.S. economy, but instead he told her to go ask her husband, who for all we know she does discuss these things with and either disagrees with him and does what she feels best, or he might conclude the same things she has. It’s…

She has a PhD in economics and has worked in the field for decades. He’s basically negating her entire career, and saying her husband must know more than her... even though she has co-authored papers with him and clearly knows her shit.

I guess you see what you want to see. Do you think he would have said “go talk to your wife” if the genders had been reversed? I don’t think so.

Doesn’t matter. They give out a Nobel for economics every year. There are lots of Nobel-winning economists, but he specifically told her to go ask the one that is her husband. There is a whole long history of women not being allowed to do anything without the permission of their husbands. THAT is why this is a deeply…

It’s specifically because he told her to consult her husband that it’s patronizing.

I wouldn’t kick him out of bed for wearing flats.

Bless you, you tiny tiny man. Own your smallness. When you and the Hemsworths get stuck underground while spelunking, you’ll be the only one able to fit through the keyhole to the outside world, so revel in that.

I’d agree, but he slapped a kid and still has his job. How does some one manage that? I'm hoping it's the end anyway.

But if you don’t play, you won’t find your true waifu.

You had me at Okami meets Tactical JRPG. You lost me at anime girls.

My jimmies get rustled when E3 rolls around and the youths talk about “Skyrim 2”.

It took an entire TEAM to write that email.

You can be what a woman wants and still not “have” her. It’s important that that is known and accepted.

and if it isn’t one more episode, they suddenly want water or need to pee. bedtime stalling is an ancient art and if it isn’t one diversion, it’ll be another.
