You didn't read what the original poster said. The flu shot is a stab in the dark, an attempt to guess which strain will be the circulating strain in an upcoming flu season. It's not necessarily the correct strain. For various reasons, my husband and I get the flu shot. Last year we got the flu that was…

Additional Reading section: Every one of those books primarily focuses on contemporary view of virginity and biological status. I keep asking you for references within the Old Testament Bible that indicates that a woman is simply her virginity, and you keep dodging.

Yes. No hesitation. I would venture to say that in my circles, women get more respect than men.

Yeah, I have done my research actually, in which I couldn't find an instance in which the Bible states, "Here is woman. Her virtue lies only within her virginity."

What makes the noun "God" a male? Goddess is an english construct. Judaism is quick to say that God is made up of male and female attributes - it's a conglomerate of both, as man was supposed to be made up of both. The first chapter of the Bible makes it clear:

Why do you assume that God is a male? And that monotheistic religions assign gender to an omniscient being?

I guess that's true of any set of beliefs, not just religion. So if your arbitrary assignation of "malarkey" to anything you don't particularly like.

It's interesting you say that, because I have distant relatives that are Satmar.

I disagree. I'm an Orthodox Jewish woman and a feminist.

I'm confused where in the Bible it states that a woman's value lies only in her virginity?

I'm confused where in the Bible you're reading that women's value lies only in virginity.

This piece doesn't, actually. Islam and Judaism are notably absent. It's because both don't subscribe to either the glorification of endless virginity or virgin births.

House was also successful because not only did the show fascinate all the hyperchondriacs, but Hugh Laurie is eye candy. Rainn Wilson is not.

It's the same pet peeve I have about Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Some dicks are insecure because they're the boss's brother and they have absolutely no qualifications to justify them leapfrogging over people at the company with decades of experience. But when you try and challenge him, his defense is offense, and suddenly you're "jealous" of him and…

At my place of work, the boss IS the HR department. No, really. And she wonders why this is a problem, especially when it's her son we all want to complain about.

Don't you even find that true in the world of presidencies? I see little difference between our two political parties. And yet the wasted potential for all these people in power. . . !

The dick at my job leapfrogged over all the women who have been working there for decades. It's classic nepotism. And now my workplace has a little boys club in which they sit in a room and decide not to give anyone raises, and to decrease everyone's bonuses and health insurance packages, and reward themselves by…

It's similar to what our healthcare is supposed to look like under PAs and NPs. For some reason, even though we keep churning out PAs and NPs, with much more rigorous training than midwives, they have become just an added expense - a person in the chain of command who still needs a doctor's approval to do anything. …

No, there really is a difference. I had to recover for two weeks with my first child. Could barely move without crying. With my second, I was up and at em within a day or two. With my third? I hopped off the delivery table and went to the bathroom myself before I even got to the recovery room.
