@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

@T_Bee: he just fed off her antagonism, even when confronted with quotes from his own book. 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

@shoroko: I'm not really saying these people are wrong, or deluded. Just that she's famous, and she's getting all this support, whereas most defendants just don't get the kind of exposure that would enable this. Read more

@madeofawesome: It's offensive because words like "son" and "boy" have traditionally been used to degrade black men. Read more

@victoriasauce: Well, she says she did produce Trig's birth certificate, but I don't buy it. I think he's a Kenyan spy. Read more

@PilgrimSoul: I wasn't a big fan of this dichotomy either, as I mention above. Then again, I haven't read Netherland or Remainder — I need to. Read more

@emfish55: we should all be learning that it is possible to identify personally with any well-drawn, fully realized character, out of a sense of humanness that is more universal than we like to acknowledge. Read more

@Snowbunny: It's a joke by de Moraes, the writer of the WaPo piece, not a typo by the Salahis. But "pardoned" is still weird. Read more

@BuffySummers: Relatedly, in Anil's Ghost, Michael Ondaatje makes the main character shower like 85 times a day. That girl is so clean. Read more

@sybann: Don't you think that writing REAL erotic erotica is a problem because we all find different things arousing. Read more

@CurtCole: "Oh, Tareq with a q! You were on the list after all! We just had the spelling wrong." Read more

@Tiger Lourdes: Zombie Hunter: As I note above, I too am ambivalent about chalking up Grey's opinions to her age. I do think some people gain more knowledge as they age (ie. she might learn more about pre-Christian sex practices), but not everyone does that either. 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
