@NellMood: To be fair, he's responding to the idea that women buy more books than men, and using men's mags as evidence that dudes DO like to read. Which (dudes reading, that is) is good. But being "meatier than women's magazines" isn't exactly a feat — and just as women's magazines say little about actual women, I'm… Read more
@ImperfectLit.Woman: I think he might be crossing her out of his Little Black Book? Or writing in the number of a more demure, well-groomed lady? Only Man knows for sure. Read more
@Aesop's Foibles. YES.: Really, given what we know about postpartum depression, and how devastating it can be, how can anyone equate it with situation-based depression? Read more

On the other hand, one thing I notice in some (not… Read more
@whats_in_a_name: I wonder if not calling it sex ed is a political move to make it more palatable to parents of young children. I could see parents with a less holistic view of what sex ed constitutes not wanting their five-year-olds learning about sex. Read more
@Ruby_de_la_Booby: I hope she's talking about impeachment. She does say, "We need to get enough people in Congress to stop him in his tracks." Still unwarranted, but not quite as disgusting. Read more
@msAnthrope: Butler does imply that if a hormone standard were applied, some men might be allowed to compete against women. Read more
@TheBeamishSnark: I think these guys aren't as bad as some "men's rights" groups that hate feminists and downplay domestic violence. However, they didn't sound quite as enlightened as the anti-Tucker Max guys we wrote about before: [jezebel.com] Read more
