“My son has strep and the doctor wants to give him antibiotics. What can I give him instead.”

Yeah, it’s basically saying that the female perspective and experience is inherently less interesting and worthwhile. It’s really weird to believe that the experiences of 50% of the population are not worth serious consideration. Leaving aside the serious issues of privilege and fairness, it’s just a really weird…

There are a lot of women who have gotten experience as writers inn Hollywood by being hired to go through a screenplay (written by a man) to fix the female characters’ dialogue so that they sounded like, y’know, people. Certainly, not all screenplays written by men require that treatment, but it seems that studios…

That, too. She said that almost every class would have at least one boy who would just flat out refuse to do the assignment.

I heard a story from a friend who teaches middle school that she would sometimes have her students do an exercise where they had to write a piece imagining a day living as the opposite gender. She said that the girls often produced long pieces full of clear detail, having clearly considered what life as a boy must be…

A friend of mine just pointed out that there are women on that list (allegedly) voting for Trump and sleeping with Cruz. What goes on in a mind that decides that’s a good idea?

*vomits* *dies*

The temptation to drop a dime and include that little “international waters” tidbit must be crippling.

That’s... a weird standard.

As a parent of two small children, I 100% agree with you.

For years, speculation over Bella’s strained relationship with adopted mum Nicole has been blamed on her loyalty to Scientology and her dad Tom.

Are they maybe the 100 John/Jane Does?

Gun education for children might backfire. From Slate.com:

At least it sounds like she’s unlikely to die and he’ll likely have little memory of it, so hopefully it won’t wind up being a life-defining event for him.

Shoot, you’re right. I didn’t realize it had never gone into effect. Sorry about that.

My Norwegian grandmother still hates the Swedes for being neutral and allowing the Nazis to march through to Norway.

Four states (California, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Washington) plus D.C. have paid parental leave. They all appear to pay for it via the unemployment system—i.e. the employee and employer each pay a small tax out of each paycheck and then people apply for it. It would certainly be unfair for individual companies…

Also, the women who don’t have men lining up to date them are evidently invisible to those guys. Women who can’t give it away do, in fact, exist, and yet these Nice Guys (TM) would have you believe that only men ever suffer that fate.

I know one insane conservative who plans to go to Panama. He has not been to Panama. I feel like he’s going to be surprised by a lot of things when he gets there, and will likely be back shortly.

More than one of my conservative family members have tried to explain to me the Benghazi and email thing and I just come out more confused about what they are so upset about. And then I’m sad that I’m related to these people.
