It's great that you're pointing stuff like this out, but I'm troubled that you haven't even seen the ads and have decided that they're woman hating! Talk about jumping to conclusions! I have only seen one of them - the one with the female passenger and the window rolled down, and my take on it was that the guy was a jerk and the ad was making fun of him, not hating her.

The more I think about this, the more I want Broadsheet to respond. There are so many sexist commercials on TV that actually deserve scrutiny. Nearly every commercial for a cleaning product shows only women using it, ofentimes while a man sits around watching and getting in the way. There are times when I'm watching a commercial for floor cleaner or laundry detergent that I feel like I'm watching an episode of Leave it to Beaver, with Mrs. Cleaver at home, dusting, washing, and waiting for dad and the boys to come back so she can serve them dinner. Apparenly no single men, married men, or gay men (of which my two-male household consists) clean or shop. Where is the outcry that women aren't the only consumers who purchase cleaning supplies? Where is the outcry that women are protrayed in commercials like idealized 1950s housewives?

Yes, I agree that men would welcome a chance to expand their birth control options, but like it or not, the fluid portion of an orgasm is important to most men. Males have always had a biological orgasm that is visible. This pill would result in a fundamental physical change in the way a man's body operates during sex - for 100 percent of this pill's users. I resent that you think a man who is uncomfortable not producing fluid during orgasm is some sort of unenlightened "caveman."

God forbid women should say they enjoy shopping. It sounds to me like you're belittling women who enjoy shopping more than the news media who report on it.

You've exactly summed up my feelings. It's become so tiresome of all these critics complaining about the Oscars - the nominations and the awards show. Trashing the Oscars is the new cool.

I find is interesting that you continually spell out the word "f****t" when reporting on the continuing saga of Isaiah Washington, yet when other celebrities have launched the "n" word, you reference it just like that: the "n-word." Apparently there are different rules based on the group being offended - ?

I too have been concerned by the lack of information on the status of The Fix! "On hiatus" is so ominous, and reminds me of that phrase being code in TV land for "cancelled." Although I'm comforted that the actual definition would seem to indicate it will return: "A gap or interruption in space, time, or continuity; a break."

I may agree with everything you have to say, but the fact is he pleaded guilty to a crime that he was accused of. Was it stupid for him to plead guilty? Probably. It appears that all he did in that bathroom was flirt. He would have had a pretty solid case if he decided to fight it (no physical contact, not exposure, not even any talking, it seems), but he didn't. I think it speaks to his intent in that bathroom that he decided to plead guilty, and because of that I think it's absolutely appropriate he should resign.

Complaining to the guy at the metal detector about TSA policy is a bit like complaining to the guy behind the counter at McDonalds about the flavor of the special sauce. It may make you feel better in the moment, but it's really just harassing a guy who's trying to do his job. Expecting your complaint to go all the way up the command chain and actually reach someone with the power to make policy change is foolish. Your writing about these issues here and suggesting for the public to contact decision-makers is more effective.

Yeah, I knew about this, too. It's discussed in her excellent autobiography My Life in France, which was released right after her death.

Well, it could just be that he knows she doesn't like football. Frankly, I was feeling the same as her, as I asked myself "what are they talking about with these championships, now?"

I don't get what's wrong with sexualizing women (anyone, really) at mature ages? Oh, is it gross? "They're old! They shouldn't be having sex, thinking about sex, or offering sex! Cover them up and lock them away!!"

It might just be a coincidence, but this got me to thinking about a different gmail problem I have experienced in the last month or so: for mail messages with embedded images, I have to click the 'always display images from this sender' link every time - gmail is no longer remembering that I've ok-ed these senders' images. As I said, it's a recent problem that just cropped up, and it's also happening on senders' emails that had previously displayed the images.

I've never done this before, but two typos in the first five paragraphs compelled me:

"So shampoo bottles include an extra concoctions aimed..." Delete the "an" or the "s" from concoctions.

"Shampoo tends to use five factors to help the user feel good about it: shine, thickeners, lather, color, smell, coatings and exotic ingredients." I count seven items here!

If you're looking to hire a proofreader, I'd be happy to help out. :)

My goodness, the redesign is so visually busy and distracting. Headlines that have different font sizes. The articles look like they have been tossed onto the page with no thought to keeping them orderly. Nothing is lined up into a neat grid pattern. I know this is how newspapers are laid out, but why would a website try to emulate a print newspaper? The fantastic benefit of elecronic media is being able to format it simply.

That should be the keyword:
