The few times I've watched it, it seemed to be mostly male characters. I asked my friend (who is forced at gunpoint by her 2 year old to watch it every morning) and she said, yeah, there are hardly any female characters at all. Maybe she's just half asleep, though. ;)

I'm too lazy to link to the latest and greatest! I linked to the first one my search turned up. But I didn't "pick" one story — it randomly was the one she brought to my house. The odds of it being wildly unrepresentative aren't that good. Besides, I've watched a lot of Sesame Street (14 nieces and nephews here).

I just linked to one of the hundreds of articles written throughout the decades. I read a Sesame Street book to a friend's kid a couple of weeks ago and ended up ranting to a 3 year old about how sexist the book was. One girl in the whole book and she loses control of the ball she's playing with. She meets about a…

I love the Street as much as the next person, but it's incredibly sexist. Nothing's changed about that since it first aired in the 60s. Except now, they're celebrating over 50 years of sexism. http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=…

I never had cramps or any other uncomfortable symptoms from my periods, and I loved having them. (When I was 12, I read the Diary of Anne Frank and she called her periods a "sweet secret." I thought that was so cool.)

Yeah, for sure that's a ridiculous thing to blame obesity on — I wasn't trying to bolster their argument.

There's a serious history of famine in India, exacerbated by policies under British rule. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_…

So if rape happened 2/3 of the time to people who'd been drinking, you'd tell the other 1/3 to avoid being sober because it makes them more vulnerable to rape?

No, it's not, silly, because correlation doesn't equal causation. Alcohol only directly contributes to car crashes when a driver's been drinking. If only a passenger had been drinking in a third of car crashes, we'd need to do a lot of analysis to figure out if there were a connection, and if so, what the connection…

Like only 1-2% of men commit rape, but those men commit 5-7 rapes. Maybe convicting them after the first rape would prevent 4-6 more rapes.

I honestly don't understand how any intelligent person can form an opinion on what behavior is most likely to keep women safe from rape WITHOUT LOOKING AT ANY STATS. Whatever happened to "fact-based policies"?

Wait, I don't think he said he was about to ignore it — I think he meant that he didn't understand it was the kidnapping case, even after she said her name. It sounded to me like he was saying that he didn't realize that she'd been kidnapped until after he'd helped her out.

After seeing that photo, all I can think about is "The Chair" from "It's Lovely! I'll Take It!" http://lovelylisting.blogspot.com/search/label/C…

For heaven's sake, it's "PritzKer." With a K, not a G. Pritzker, Pritzker, Pritzker.

Abusive and threatening speech isn't protected and shouldn't be tolerated.

The administration, by allowing his sign in the name of "free speech", is treating it as reasoned discourse.

Imagine if you had to organize a protest for everything from food safety to the right to vote. These issues are already settled and it's exhausting to have to revisit them.

Email UA president Ann Weaver Hart. Her email isn't on their site but you can send an email in care of: Amy Taczanowsky, Senior Executive Associate to the President, amyt1 @ email.arizona.edu.

See, these guys are stepping up to do what the school administration failed to do: shut this lunatic down.
