So basically you are a whore

who thinks other people should pay the bills for your, uh..mmm, "indiscretions." I think you should tell you daughter and you husband. You might as well come clean...that you are just basically a vile human being.

It not alright to tar your kid in print, or your husband, or wife....

Even if it were true that her kid sux, all that does in my mind in confirm the writer as a shitty parent.

Furthermore, one can tell that Myerson is a self absorbed Cunt. Yup. I said it. She's a navel gazing, self pitying, incompetent parent, who is also a cunt.

Dimes to donuts, she is using her kids defensiveness about his portrayal in the book to market the book itself.

Cunt.

I pretty much agree with her.

That's why prossys are demeamonized. They are unwanted competition.

"Somone who's addicted to cocaine saying 'Yeah, well, look how popular Starbucks is. You people are all addicts too!'"

That's actually a valid argument.

If women aren't earning it, how are they spending it?

"...the power of money isn't in its earning but in its spending", and has thus emphasized the fact that American women account for 80+% of consumer discretionary spending, which points to the existence of a massive transfer of wealth from men to women that's entirely overlooked by all studies based only on the analysis of wages..."

"magdelyn,

You're a prostitute; don't you find it repugnant when your clients obviously don't care about your sexual needs?"

I've turned maybe 5 tricks in my entire life. One trick, or five, does a prostitute make? Am I a whore forever now? Like, had a been a librarian, and then quit and become a plumber, would I still be a librarian?

I assume Wikipedia is the most successful Encyclopedia Ever

By any measure. To those who think it is a "waste of time" then I would posit that you have contributed nothing to the human knowledge it delivers, what ever its flaws. You don't contribute because you think adding to this massively used community resource is a waste of your time. Barf.

You think the women's locker is bad?

As I wrote back on August 6th:

gay locker room culture

Little did I know that my YMCA gym membership came with a complementary introduction to gay locker room culture. Not being gay, I find the benefit unwelcome. I recently joined the Embarcadero YMCA, one block from my employment.

Being a pre-op tranny and all, this may all seem a bit surreal for the average person. Hormones have smoothed out the contours of my physique. Yet, as a serious cyclist, and regular surfer, my body does have a certain symmetry.

It becomes very apparent that there is a sizable gay population that uses the facilities. It's not like I went around asking people their sexual orientation or anything. I didn't have to. Leering stares, shower trolls, steam room exhibitionism and a sign that reads something like, "Sexual activity will not be tolerated," have made it clear. Its not like the gym is located in the Castro. Its freaking by the Embarcadero business district.

I don't feel comfortable walking around naked, even in a gym. I especially don't feel comfortable making my way to the shower. I've been watched, and followed into the shower area. But, apparently, others are not so shy. People walk around and otherwise linger without clothes, for no apparent reason. When I do have to undress, I have repeatedly found myself being stared at. In my opinion, his type of behavior is sexual harassment.

I find especially annoying the set of lockers from which there is a direct line of vision into the shower area. If the behaviors exhibited in the locker room were exhibited by a man toward a woman in a different environment, it would be call harassment. Why has it become okie dokie to behave this way in the locker room?

Why don't we call a spade a spade

We know that people within the last administration, and the present one, are afraid that accusations of fore knowledge by Israel would be a political disaster, and that is why the statement is so alarming to the fox news types.

There is evidence that Mossad agents were tracking the terrorists, and there have been accusations that information was not shared with the US. Some speculate that it is because the attacks would bring military action by the US into the middle-east.
