According to your post, we should censor any off thread comments.
Again, why not just say you are for censorship and leave it at that. That at least would be honest.
Your subjective read of the thread re "relevancy" is not the same as everyone else's.
If you don't like a comment, here's a piece of advice: ignore it.
We have freedom of speech in this country, and if you talk to a Republican or a feminist these days, you realize the First Amendment is under threat from both extremes of the political spectrum.
He's 2. You're his dad. You're responsible for him and his behavior.
Start acting like a parent.
Is "Asehpe" a Ya̧nomamö word?
Wow. No wonder we men of America are less and less inclined to get married.
And one of these periodically insane monsters may just end up a heartbeat away from the Presidency. Terrifying.
Joan has editorial control. Quit blaming the liberal men.
Joan Walsh needs to take control and act like a man instead of blaming men like a woman.
No, estrogen is at work, the same hormone that leads women to drown their children, slaughter their boyfriends, and get away with it in exchange for a slap on the wrist.
Whoop tee doo. Let the feminist mythologists and their ilk prosper and fluorish.
No sane man should marry in California.
Looking forward to the flurry of uber beta Herb and angry feminist bitch emails!
No man should get married anywhere in America. Enjoy your cats and hysterectomies, ladies. You made this bed, you sleep in it!
How can the sterile anti-female feminists of the American Left not hate Palin's fecund, proletarian, blue-collar energy?
Imagine the barren, 42-year-old Women's Studies PhD trying desperately to get pregnant after she divorces her oppressor patriarchal husband. Seeing the fecundity and raw, feminine prowess of the sexual, brood-enhanced Palin must be devastating.
Will you enjoy your sterile later years when your blog posts and cats help you cope with hot flashes? Not really, and the thought of Palin's large, extended family keeping her company in her old age just makes it worse.
Feminism = sterile anti-feminine misery post-hotness
Justice is served.
Not a surprise at all, given the uber beta-ness of the American male after years of government-condoned anti-male feminism.
McCain/Palin will win handily on the votes of submissive, undereducated men voting with their dicks, controlling, traditional women who see another chance to dominate their husbands and disaffected Hillary spinsters who will vote for Palin using their dried out, unused vaginas as opposed to their brains.
The genitocracy will reign supreme, and liberal feminists will seethe at the thought of a domineering, angry Republican woman winning the White House instead of a domineering, angry Democrat female. Pantsuits will flutter in the wind in defeat across the land as lesbians and dried out, menopausal pre-crones cry and wail for the feminist gynocracy's loss.
Thank you for yet another craven, hair-splitting submissive post.
Kill Bitch. It's time has come and gone. Put it in the grave next to Andrea Dworkin, another dinosaur who has thankfully passed on.
and misandrist feminists trying to define how men should act.
Fuck you.
So true, and so scary.....
Who said they're anti-gay. Why should the government dictate what they are called?
rimbaud is right - why is the government involved in marriage at all? Gays asking for more government in their lives in California, while complaining about the government in their bedrooms in Texas. Bizarre.
Why is wanting to be called bride and groom anti-gay? The poster above was right - change to form to include all possibilities.
Sad that so many Broadsheeters don't want to embrace diversity.
It's a goddamn form. Just change the wording - it's irrelevant to the degree the state gets up your ass once you sign it. Why can't people call themselves what they want?
Wife/wife, husband/husband, husband/wife, whatever.
Oh, and if you want to grant legal rights to each other, as you would if marriage were privatized, you wouldn't need the state involved. Rights being granted is only a state issue if you want the government in your bedroom, bank account, parenting schedule, etc.
I have absolutely nothing against gay marriage.
Why can't the CA legislature craft a marriage license that reflect inclusion rather than rejection of traditional heterosexual marriage?
Absolutely right about the nuclear family being the fundamental unit of society.
Now that it is optional and feminist social engineering rules the day, though, it's too late for the US.
"you are not remotely hot/smart/rich/powerful enough to intimidate me into thinking I want you to have sex with me"
We've already determined what you are - we are just haggling over the price.
Keep making "the rules" and enjoy your shriveled, barren forties.
The Vagina Monologues contains a scene where a 13 year old girl talks about her rape by an older lesbian, aged 24. In the original text, she calls it a "good rape".
Consistent with feminist thinking, that rape/pedophilia was glossed over in the play, in comparison to the strong, blanket anti-male sentiment expressed regarding male-female rapes referred to in the play.
That scene was excised in later versions of the play for reasons obvious to almost everybody but the playwright.
Your encouraging behavior improves civic orderliness and State control of miscreants in the population.
Because of you, a dangerous criminal is behind bars, his life destroyed.
Our Leader approves.
She also worked hard to punish men who attacked and raped her.
Another upstanding FemCitizen.
"Is everyone lying, do you think? No one has ever been raped? It's just mass hysteria? media propaganda by the feminist movement?"
You're nuts. So is your basement-dwelling friend.
Celebrate the embodiment of empowerment that is Pussy Galore.
Sistah!
I know those mean, nasty civil rights thingies are just patriarchal chains, trying to keep teh wimmin down.
Due process - a foreign concept to feminists across America.
Confirmation bias, as evidenced by the comments of some of the feminist posters.
