Hard to defend? It is a boxing analogy. Countries are typically referred to with feminine pronouns. He is saying that America is at its best when she is on the boxing mat, seemingly losing the match. Taken out of context sure, it could sound weird.

But so could “Also, wait, Cruz, you’re so cute here too:”

And honestly,…

you wouldn’t want to wreck a guy’s life over some over-emotional woman’s hysterical reaction, right?

Yes. I called the police repeatedly, every time my stalker violated the restraining order I had in place. Death threats by mail and email and left on my Facebook page. Sending me photos of my car parked at the mall. Contacting my work and my family. Driving in front of my house honking at 3 in the morning. Sneaking…

I will one-up you by letting you finish first and better, but, in all honesty, and I totally understand where you’re coming from about being uncomfortable with Loving the Sinner, Hating the Sin double-talk here, re cosmetic surgery and women’s choices and those choices being constrained by patriarchy and the…

Sadly, the only thing that’s going to “bring on a revolution” is if Netflix’s servers were to go down for a whole weekend.

I’m with you as far as the surgery goes—if you want it, get it. What bothers me about Kylie and her sisters is that they have carefully cultivated a very specific look in their photos that they use to sell their brand: no expression, dead eyes, with no attempt to convey any message or thought at all. I cringed a…

Yep, we don’t matter. Same as always. Because half of those rapidly dividing cells belong to a man. As a woman, my worth is tied up in what men think of me, if they think I’m acceptable, and if I’m carrying a man’s child. That’s all it is. They’re not crying about ‘babies.’ They’re crying about their right to control…

Not according to Judaism. If the life of the mother is in any way endangered by a pregnancy, an abortion is pretty much mandated. In their view, life of the existing mother trumps potential life of potential human.

“met by all the aborted fetuses at the gates of heaven and they would thank him … for what he did because his actions saved lives of other unborn fetuses.”

So this is a genuine - not trolling - But, you are absolutely right that we’ve never been anything but cognizant of races in modern society. But, part of the consequences and impact (positive or negative,) of race is from how others and society as a whole treat us. If she was seen by the public at large as a black…

I’m so sorry this happened. You’re right to take this seriously and support his getting help.

Yes, many tribes in Canada were moved, not just once though, it could end up being more like three or four times. Everyone keeps saying that they should leave traditional life because it isn’t sustainable but the fact is that many Natives do leave to go to school and some are successful in regular Canadian life .…

I feel like a lot more can be accomplished by trying to make sure to insert partner here, frequently.

Please note that DeBeers continues to be a garbage company who are totally indifferent to the misery that their product brings to everyone involved in harvesting their overpriced baubles.

The low liar is lying low.

These tech companies are run by workaholics. They live, eat and breathe their jobs. They love them. It’s their second wife. Forcing them to take time off would lead to riots, nerd riots. I am not sure what a nerd riot would entail but I am guessing there would be lots of flung thumb drives.

Eh. Keep that time. All they do those first weeks is cry and digest. The whole household is tense hoping for a decent nap. Or throwing random guesses as to why he/she is crying after the checklist of food, diaper, attention is vetted.

Let’s not let perfect be the enemy of good here. I hope these companies actually encourage their male employees to take their leave as well. It’s important that men know they can and should take time off for the birth of a child.

Greenfield writes that men don’t take leave for a variety of personal reasons, one of which is that they report feeling judged for using the paternity time off they’re given. To “lead by example,” Mark Zuckerberg recently took two of the four months Facebook offers new dads

(A full term pregnancy is 40 weeks, but anytime after 38 weeks is usually fair game.)
