In his defense, these are phrases many of us grew up and use often.

I lived it, too. I’m sorry your experience was so dreadful.

I think you’re misreading history a bit. Yes, women wanted to same things as men, some of it symbolic. But they wanted it because it was practical, instead of being forced into a role (or bad shoes). High heel shoes with pointy toes are really bad for you. Dresses make no sense in many situations. Being told you could…

It’s an expensive sport.

Second Wave Feminist sometimes went too far, but I’ll take it over the Third Wave idea that 7" heels is empowerment.

It’s like Mrs.

Match Game. All innuendo. Brett Sommers. Charles Nelson Reilly. Richard Dawson. By the final round, everyone seemed drunk.

Schools cannot parent, but they don’t have to encourage or allow poor choices by parents, either. Allowing kids to explore and be who they are, and respecting all “values” a family holds, regardless of how irresponsible it might be, has gone too far. No.

If the entire incident had been done—cute and joking—with a black child, it would have brought up all sorts of protests (rightly) about reinforcing stereotypes, insensitivity of police just “joking around” and the like.

Wrong. Most MAGA hat wearers were horrible people in high school and had all the breaks. But what separates MAGA men from other white men (who also had plenty of breaks) is one understands their luck while the other thinks their success is destiny and a sign of virtue.

I’ve thought that the way for the Cleveland Indians to move past Chief Wahoo (beyond their changing their name from “Indians”) is to allow fans to customize their shirt—like an avatar.

White male ally question. I love the shirt and the discussion it brings (the design is spot on—accurate parody and not a shred of offensiveness, except what the viewer brings with them). But, as a white male, I’d hate to be seen promoting white power.

Unlike New Haven, Northamption, MA does not have much of a black population (outside of college students).  That any stereotype you can imagine (homeless person, drug dealer, crack whore, etc.) might decide to camp out in a nice college common room is ridiculous--Northampton just isn’t that place.  This person had to…

I would hope that Jeong, wherever she writes, would rise above in her writing.

Flat tax.

As a parent, I like the number of top rated games that are tame in terms of violence. My kids are so enthusiastic about them, and they stretch their playing skills is different ways. They’ve played various PlayStation and Xbox games with friends, but get bored quickly. I don’t have to worry about ratings because my…

As a public school teacher and NEA member, I can understand the push for charter schools, tuition credits and for-profit schools. What angers me about DeVos is how hard she fights against transparency.

There has got to be a protocol—a trail of who got what seat when.

What about Paul DePodesta?

The could (and still can) have Colin Kaepernick. I’ve never been a fan of his football mastery, but he’s someone you can build around and win a few games, or at least mentor their new franchise QB.
