We're sure as hell smarter than you.

Incidentally, you're a little late with the preachy crap about avoiding divisiveness. Your candidate gave McCain a soundbite he's going to use against the real Democratic nominee over and over. You wonder why we're angry? Wonder about that.

Enjoy being a loser. For you, I suppose, it's a lifelong process.

If Hillary's entitled, purblind, self-centered grab for power has any positive effect on Obama's candidacy, it has been to draw more of a distinction between Obama and Hillary as candidates than their platforms would justify. Hillary is electoral poison; she couldn't even win against America's great bête noire, a black man with a library card. Her enemies are numerous and dedicated.

The best thing Obama could possibly do is to distance himself from her. If he doesn't, he risks giving credibility to her statement that he would be a worse president than McCain. By rejecting her, he looks stronger and better, and avoids her taint.

As for Joan Walsh and her fellow feminacentric sexists, this is the last nail in their collective coffin. If Obama wins, he'll have done it over their mewling objections and bad reasoning. If he loses, they'll be justly blamed, and they'll reap the whirlwind. Either way, I'll enjoy watching.

Bye bye, Joan. You were never honest enough to come out as a Hillary shill, despite the fact that the truth of the matter was obvious to everyone. And now you pay the price.

Not Hillary Clinton. Not Joan Walsh. Not AKA Smith, who demands things of Obama but never asked the same things of Hillary.

OUR dream came true.

YOURS just ended.

He doesn't want kids, or at least, not with you. Stop trying to fly under his radar and hope to bend him to your will over time. He deserves better and you need to stop bothering him.

At least he's being clear. YOU'RE writing letters behind his back to an advice columnist. One direct conversation could have resolved this, but you'd rather play games.

You don't need children. You need to stop being one. Until you've done that, leave the sane and childfree alone.

Rebecca Traister should be suspended from her job at Salon until she makes a proper apology for the racist slur "Obama boys":

No more editorials from racists like Traister!

Everyone who's bashing the boyfriend needs to shut their pieholes. He wants what he wants. It's not immature. What's immature is to fail to discuss it with him, and hope to change his mind. What's even MORE immature is to bash him behind his back for not wanting what she wants.

There are perfectly good reasons not to want kids. To all those who are bashing the boyfriend: I wish your parents had felt the same way.

And to the rest of you who are slandering the LW's boyfriend: Learn to read.

He's not slamming her beliefs or desires; she hasn't had the common sense or the courtesy to inform him of what those beliefs and desires are.

He's not fake-puking at her soul-baring declarations of anything. There have been no such declarations.

Get off your sexist, preachy high horses and learn to read. NOW.

And until you do, stop lying about things you haven't bothered to read.

You're dead wrong.

Count the bridal magazines at a typical newsstand.

Then count the groom magazines.

Exactly one of those numbers will be zero.

Now, sit by and watch which gender buys those magazines. Count the men who buy them. Count the women.

One of those numbers will definitely be zero. Guess which one it will be.

The market doesn't lie, but that apparently won't stop you from lying to yourself.

Until Salon's editors open the conversation about Traister's racism, neither they nor she have any place recommending anything to anyone.

Racist.

I'm not arguing that women are particularly better at being reasonable marriage partners than men are. I do claim that they fantasize a lot more about becoming married than men do.

The LW is an immature woman who thinks the way to deal with her man is to wait around until he wants what she wants, and to communicate nothing to him directly. He deserves better and she needs to hit the road.

Go call a black man "boy" and see how that works out for you.

Yes, it's racist, and it requires an apology. I'm not looking to silence all mention of sexism; I'm looking to demand an apology from a racist. I'm looking to push the issue of Salon paying a racist idiot to write racist garbage.

You're doing it for free, of course, so no issue there.

Way to reach for credibility -- and fail!

A publication with less of a history of man-bashing crap could probably get away with this type of article. Of course, the tone of such an article would have been less bitter and nasty, but that's what happens when a publication like Salon commissions an article like this.

Salon should shut up on subjects like this, now and forever. So should the respondents who are making excuses for Salon here. It's not your place to decide what other people are comfortable with.

Try and stop me.

Oh, go be a drama queen somewhere else.

Your man-hating spew is not going to play with any man with a spine, or any woman who cares about men. There aren't many of the latter on Salon, of course, but there are quite a few of the former, and you're only galvanizing your opposition with your arrogant misandry.
