Thank you, lately your articles have been all I actually read throughly on salon

Yup, I am childless and every time I see supper nanny I vow to remain so ... plus 7 animals are enough thankyou :)

Nip Tuck - Loved watching here in Au just because the characters were so awful, the plots so extreme - you could make a drinking game around it.

Sleeper Cell - would have liked a spoiler warning ! haven't seen it in Australia yet.

Cheers - Lindsay

Broadsheet is for women remember ? cheeky *pink* women. This article should have been for us ALL

I'm sick of this Broadsheet c***p

I'm sorry, but where do the people who have time to turn an old mouse into a robot get the money to do things like buy groceries or pay rent

Lots of frigging people, such as the ones listed in the article. Its a hobby people do in their spare time, it doesn't require huge funding. Jeeze, not everyone lives on the streets, Lighten up.

Jeeze, Cary's column certainly is a lightning rod for the spiteful nasty self involved people of this world.

Another potpourri of Male/Female sterotypes with a large dose of trolling.

Is salon getting back to journalism anytime soon ?

It's the same thing women talk about all the time, that their husband doesn't clean the house or doesn't do this or that. A man will step over the bag of garbage to get to the beer in the fridge, and a woman will pick up the bag of garbage as soon as she walks into the kitchen."

All this time I thought my penis meant I was a man, however it appears since I'm the one that cleans as (s)he goes and my wife is a (loveable) slob, I must be a women.

Mystery solved.

And this one is no exception, that is a extradinarly insensitive and insulting thing to ask of the inlaws.

My wife and I are actually in the inlaws space - the attempted violent murder of my wife. If relatives asked us to censor or lie about her story for the sake of their children they would no longer be welcome at our home - ever.

The last article of Anne Lamont's that I respected and liked was about Charlie Conners - it was wonderful.

You put a dog together with a person whose center is in near-ruins and the dog loves that person like a rock, often becomes in fact that person's rock.

So Brian and Diane got loved like that by this sweet, worried little old man of a boy, in a dappled dog suit

Good god man, whats the matter with you ?

To Reluctant - I'd apologise on the behalf of all man for Scotts abdomible behaviour only he's not a man, its a asshole that can type.

I just read the original article and your "apology".

No way was that sarcasm - it was straight out gloating and glee. You're a liar and coward trying to cover up after the fact.

No hate - just calling it as I saw it - the hate is comning from Sarah Karnasiewicz in her original article, she got called on it and tried a bullshit pseudo apology - "I didn't really say what I said"

The irony of you cheering her article approving battery and sexual assault while labeling my comment hate speech is somewhat amusing.

What I find more disturbing is your attempt to frame dissent as hate speech, a common tactic of the ideological driven far right & left.

That and your handle - "cosmicmojo" - think a lot of ourselves don't we.

cosmicmojo, please point out the hate - I call someone a liar - thats not hate speech, its a statement of opnion, one I expanded on in my reply.

One the otherhand we have you spewing incoherent badly formatted rants that seem to be based around your dislike of my statements - no content, you object to the position I take with no attempt to address the issue raised.

Newsflash - despite your "cosmic" name, the world doens't not revolve around you and kindly avoid the insults in future - I am not american and find the idea of being mistaken for one vaguely repulsive.

Violent woman physically abuses man, man has to admit to his fault in provoking by refusing to talk to her while they're angry - poor victimised woman. Hugs and therapy all round.

I feel like vomiting my lunch. This is why men get bitter about double standards, it greats a huge well of resentment encountering this s**t on a regular basis.

Re the woman in question aquiring a knife or gun - the guy would be in big trouble then.

I wonder if any shelters would be available for him ?

I would like to think that it's the obligation to have fun I find depressing

Bingo - another reason why I not a party person, thanks for the insight

Equating the "In praise of men" thread to broadsheet. Broadsheet is "news for women" and men are invite only. The thread in question is really for women (and gay men) who like to ogle men. No problems with that myself, though no real interest either. If broadsheet was all about links to hot calendars of women then it would be a valid comparison, but can you imagine the protest if it was ...

As it is though, there is no "Broadsheet for men" on Salon. Zip, nada. And I would protest strongly if there were - I hate this segration of content into special interest ghettos based on sex.

Broadsheet still sucks.
