A couple have! That’s when I removed them.

“We do not condone domestic violence. We just enable it.”

My theory is the “outspoken, judgmental vegan” and the “feminist who yelled at a guy for holding the door open” might be the same person.

— but I’ve seriously never understood this “vegan dictating their life choices to others” archetype as anything but a paranoid fantasy of people who feel somehow attacked by the personal choices of others which in no way affect anyone else—

There’s also a fair amount of “Not MY Nigel” all over the thread.

“affluenza”

If I could hug you for this comment, I would.

Pfffft. I don’t get how these people are able to think so abstractly about something for which there is video evidence. If they saw their kid taking a hard foul in a HS basketball game, you know they’d be on their feet screaming at the ref. But somehow, they can turn off their eyeballs when the video evidence makes…

“My kid wouldn’t BE in that situation, because we raised him/her the right way”

Because men—especially old white men in positions of power—are not used to having to think of women as human beings first, rather than spank bank material? I think most of them have learned that they’re not supposed to sexualize and objectify women, and understand that that means they can’t just grope and proposition…

This is too exhausting.

“I’m not one of those women who believe rape victims are at fault because they dressed too provocatively or misled some randy guy into thinking it was his lucky night.

—For a man to openly reject a woman because he found her fat would be social suicide.—

Are we actually going to start asking men to start questioning their preferences? Because from what I can tell, most of the pressure to do this is put on feminist-leaning women. So far, I’ve been told that it’s not reasonable for me to want a guy who has a job or a college degree or who doesn’t live with his parents,…

Yeah no...the civil war was actually about ethics in gaming journalism so this wouldn’t work at all.

Hey, hey fella...there’s this thing that’s been invented...it’s called a library? Since as you and the MRA terrorists pointed out there is also a stream of academic research called women’s studies – I know this is incredible – there are many books and scholarly journals that can educate you about the patriarchy,…

Sorry, in discussion with adults I don’t usually define terms as though we’re all brand-new to the world and unaware of the myriad issues that MRAs claim to be concerned with while actually focusing their energies on excoriating feminists. It’s okay. You’ll learn to keep up or go back to the kids’ table.

OMG OMG LINDY! Yes, nails it.

when did Dice Clay become famous?

I rarely say this about people. But she deserves all the bad karma that is heading her way right now. That video was so mean and vicious, it actually made me cry. I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. And like so many women with the disease, I struggle with my weight. It’s like I woke up in a different body. I went from…
