I haven't seen it in a while, but I thought the reason Matthew Broderick's character hates her so much is that she slept with his friend. She's definitely not portrayed as the victim of an abuser but as a manipulator.

can you imagine if the roles were reversed

This exact same thing happened to me on my first day of school in Florida, 20 years ago. I moved as a high school Junior, from a school in NC that had no dress code. It was hot and I wore cut-offs and a tank top. Both were verbotten - shorts were fine as long as they weren't cut-off with frayed ends and reached…

Well, a driver's license does not prove you are a citizen either - non-citizens can get them too. Your voter card (not an ID) would prove that you are registered. Also, most polling places ask you address and name and match it to their list. But most people who oppose the voter ID laws feel that keeping from…

Well, you would have to have addresses all over the country to register to vote from. And then you'd have to register to vote from all of these addresses. Then you'd have to either get absentee ballots from each of the districts you want to vote from or go to multiple voting locations on election day. But nothing…

You shouldn't have to provide ID either. The ID laws are wrong.

Vulva isn't vulgar, but other terms that refer to the whole shebang mostly are (pussy, cunt, snatch, twat, etc.)

Really? You were really confused? Are you an extremely literal person? How do you do with metonymy? When you read "The White House today said..." do you wonder how a house can talk?

God, that is the worst.

The thing about language is that it is a tool for communication. You knew exactly what the writer meant by "vagina," which means it is working well as a word to describe both internal and external female genitalia.

Please stop trying to make "vulva" happen. We need a good, all-purpose, non-vulgar word for lady bits (all the bits) and we, as a society, have chosen vagina.

The example in the show IS "real" late-term abortion. I watched a friend have to go through one for a very wanted baby (conceived after years of IVF) because tests discovered the fetus had severe (meaning definitely unsurvivable) defects that would also threaten her life if she tried to carry it to term. In the US,…

It also sorta seems like the originals were out of focus? I wonder why.

If you want to hover, lift the seat! Problem solved for everyone!

If you want to hover, lift the seat and hover over the bowl! The only time it is acceptable to hover is without a seat.

Where did she ever say that being an entitled man makes you a mass murderer? You are the one that is conflating her claim that we have a cultural that promotes violent masculinity and glosses over misogyny (or tacitly approves it) with a claim that being a man makes you a murderer. She even addresses this in her…

I discovered underwear that fits me and flatters and is pretty cheap a couple of years ago (it's the aerie boyshort - 7 pairs for 25 bucks, sometimes cheaper). Regularly getting new underwear, and getting rid of the old, is now one of my favorite luxuries. Stained and tattered panties, be gone!

Not just you - see above.

that is definitely Rasputin

A noveau chateau is some bullshit. There are plenty of awesome, state owned, actual 16th-17th century French Chateaus (chateaux?) that could use some Kimye/E! money - many of which they could easily rent for a wedding. Obvs, they aren't really interested in the historic preservation angle. I can understand the…
