Are you saying that there is a different set of ethics for men and women? Women seem to have no qualms about judging men and their behavior. In the old days, real feminists would have been outraged at women receiving special favors for nothing other than beauty. I'm not sure why you think the gentleman who posed the question is a "tool."

On the other hand, nature, God, (whatever/whomever) only grants us as individual humans so many gifts and advantages. Many get none at all. Beauty fades quickly enough, so she should get what she can from it now. If the dimbulbs are stupid enough to risk their jobs for a smile from a woman who would never look twice at them, it's on them.

...but I looked at your website, and you're still a snide, shallow douchebag. But you're young, there's plenty of time for you to evolve further. I now fully appreciate the framers' wisdom in making 35 the minimum age for the presidency.

BTW, on the "kill all fatties" thing, have you ever tried to find a real supermarket in a poor neighborhood?

...yet more reason to wish we really could run the Democratic Party along Stalinist lines.

...that you don't think you can believe in ten years later when the glamour has worn off, and you're no longer being love bombed into the faith by zealous adherents. That's what I'd say to anyone in their twenties who thinks they've found "the way." But being young and stupid, they never listen.

But they aren't that healthy and supportive. They gave me plantar fasciitis back in 2006, which I still have. If you want ugly, comfortable, supportive shoes, get Birkenstocks. Good riddance, Crocs! May you melt in hell!

You're sexy to whom? Can you be sexy by demanding that people see you as such? What's the punishment for not thinking fat people are sexy?

I thought I was making it quite clear that I think fat people are gross. But here goes: I THINK FAT PEOPLe ARE GROSS. And, BTW, it *is* bad for your health on many different levels. It's especially infuriating that people are acting as if being a big, fat, disgusting lard butt is "empowering."

Obesity is bad for your health. It's not a feminist issue, it's not an identity politics issue. If you are too fat to fit into normal sized clothes or walk 100 yards, you're too fat. You need to lose weight. You need to eat less and exercise more. And it is an aesthetics issue. It's natural for humans--men or women--to look the best they can, and to enjoy the presence of attractive people. Fat people are not and have never been attractive.

To repeat: Get off your fat butts and LOSE SOME WEIGHT! I don't want to hear about "fat pride," or "Fat is fabulous," because it's nothing to be proud of, and no one believes it's fabulous. In case I haven't said it yet, LOSE SOME WEIGHT! Arrrrghhh!

The reason men can't demand more time and balance? Women. They still expect us to be their personal ATMs so *they* can have more "balance" in their lives. As for this supposedly benefiting both genders, don't make me laugh. That's what they said about "women's lib" back in the day. The result is that men have less personal freedom and freedom of expression than ever.

Conservatives don't really understand humor, and like the "Half Hour News Hour," this just isn't funny. They used up virtually all the liberal/vegan/treehugger jokes in the first three minutes, and even then... The only remotely funny line was the one about Che "warning his squirrel friend."

One of two things will happen: The show will die off in the first few weeks, or the Usual Suspects will sustain it for years, like the other unfunny Judge program, KotH. As "The Goode Family" doesn't have such advantageous positioning, I seriously doubt that the latter will be the case.

I'll probably watch again, just to see how they'll manage this. Will they repeat the same jokes, or are there other liberal/hippy/vegan jokes I haven't heard yet, in-say--the last 20 years in which they've been fashionable?

A Lenin reference! It's funny because you're cleverly implying that TT is a commie! Hey, seriously, the Cold War ended nearly 2o yrs. ago now. It's time to let it go.

You would have to be a real loser to have a Harvard degree and not be able to leverage something.

..except for every other column she's done for Salon. Why, why, why, do you keep giving her a platform for her warmed over Fox News talking points? She had interesting things to say, in, perhaps, 1989. But as for now, Free Republic is *thataway.*

I think the way they put it is "one man and one woman." Where does that leave Joseph Smith and Brigham Young? Not to mention (for mainstream Christians) people like Abraham, Jacob, King David, etc.?

"A beautiful world, Alma, and every day is a gift. I'm sorry you had to leave early."

But as long as her death made it possible for you to write this pretentious, precious tripe, she didn't die in vain.

Oh, spare us. The ABC Marshmallow Man. We're doomed.
