A few questions...
ANYBODY who doesn't give 110% to their career will not reach the highest levels of that career?
Are you saying that Georgew W. gave 110% to become President? Well, if that what he delivered is what it takes to get the job, it's a shame I can't run for office. I wouldn't even have to put on pants to come across as less idiotic as he did.
Are you really buying into this "Just give everything and you'll get there" myth? 'Cause that's not how the real world works for everyone. Have you ever been denied a deserved promotion? That is not that uncommon, especially for women. Look, giving your best is usually necessary but not always required. Luck, a lack of scruple, intolerance of others, manipulative skills and connections can really propel your career even if you don't work hard enough to deserve it. Just think of the cliché of the woman who sleeps her way on top. She doesn't even have to give 110% there, men are easy to please.

And regarding you biological theories, yes, men are stronger but how strong do you have to be to sit in an office? How much strength does it take to type on a keyboard? I'd say the jobs these female breadwinners we're talking about have are usually not involving tasks of great physical strength.
And why is it automatically the women job to take care of the children?
I mean, we're talking 2 parent families here since single women have no other choice than going to work unless you want to suggest poverty or child labour as viable alternatives.
In todays first world society it shouldn't be such a stretch to consider men as caregivers of the family's offspring. What makes the stronger sex so unsuitable to play that part? Because we're emotional cripples, unable to bond with the little ones like people with real breasts? Because society could point at us and laugh about our mangina? What is it a woman does a man can't do?
Oh I get it, that's just how biology wants it, right? We have to listen to mother nature, it's the smart thing to do. Well, that's at least what I told the cops after I left my house naked. You know, pants don't grow on trees and shirts don't run through the woods, evading capture by predators. It's not natural, not what mother wants. Let's not do this. Right?
We decided to shape the world as we see fit a long time ago. We can't change all behavioural routines in our heads but we are not powerless either. Why stick to role models that are ancient when we can make new ones with more benefits? Humans can't fly; didn't stop them from building planes. This is a question of nurture not nature.

What troubles me the the most, though, is your apparent belief that households with both parents working do it by choice. That is certainly not always the case, especially not in lower income families in America. To avoid that both parents would be forced to work, you need to have minimum incomes that are high enough to feed an entire family. How much is the minimum wage in america and how well can one person provide for a family with it? Would you like to raise 2 kids with only that much money?

Another thing is your idea that "women should gravitate to careers that will give the maximum flexibility so that they can spend all the needed time with their children". What kind of career is that? What jobs allow you to have "maximum flexibility" in terms or worktime? Drug dealing? E-Mail spamming? Porn?
I'm sure such jobs exist but I'd say they're very, very rare. Not a viable solution.

You call it "guidelines not rules" but maybe these guidelines are as antiquitated as ducking under the table when the bomb drops. We live in a brave new world, we need to do better than this. We shouldn't leave potential untapped because grampa doesn't like it. This is the 21st century, let's act like it.

There is nothing that makes women less qualified to bring home the bucks. "Think of the children" is simply a lazy argument against it and only shows the real problems of this debate: sexism and a lack of social security.

Strictly speaking, I wouldn't want to have Australia's or Japan's system of gun control either.

As usual, I think a hybrid is possible. As usual, the argument gets framed as two extremes. total gun confiscation vs total unfettered access. Neither would work for America. As usual, the problem isn't really the laws, the problem is enforcement, but the NRA has done everything they can to make enforcement next to impossible too.

People like to throw out false analogies between cars and guns...so let them eat those words. We license cars and periodically re-test for competency. So do something similar for firearms. Perhaps some sort of home safety audit. prove you've got your firearms locked up safely. With rights come responsibility after all.

Sorry grampa, but if you can't see worth a damn, you're a liability, not a boon, with a weapon.

How many times have we seen on a sift someone who does treat weapons with respect and safety and another sift with some fucking idiot putting Evolution-into-Action with a firearm. If you can demonstrate proficiency and safety, most people wouldn't care how many weapons you have.

Even the NRA should be for this since they like to claim they care about safety. /sarcasm

Obviously it's her fathers birthday, and she gave him a pair of shoes and a card that read "Grampa" meaning, surprise, she's pregnant.

I'm gonna go try and get the hearing back in my ears now.

sympathy is for the weak. no bathroom breaks today grampa!

After watching this video I realized...I've been tying my shoes correctly my whole life.


I was actually taught to tie my shoes by my grandfather, who was left handed. As a lifetime righty, it's about the only thing my left hand is good for. Apparently, one of the advantages of tying your shoes left handed, is you form the same (better) version of the knot by the traditional "over" method. Score another one for grampa.

Yep, saw the story earlier today. I see they toned down the pants a little by making them dark blue and not shiny, like I and others suggested, though they still kept the tacky stars. They also gave her red boots, just like in the comic. But I still ain't feeling the love. The ridiculous vinyl corset-top with the crappy fake metal has to go. And I still don't like the jeggings, even after they toned them down. The overall look still says, "That'll be $100, and you have to wear a condom."

I'm still going to check out the series when it airs. I think a lot of people will. But I'll tell you, I'm not expecting great things. >> ^longde:

Added an action shot to the post

I think you're on to something with her odd looking hips. It's probably another Photoshop fuckup. Check out this site for one post after another of crappy manipulated images done by supposed professionals. >> ^blankfist:

Fixed.

She looks like a young, cute actress they shoved into the wardrobe department's idea of a sexy yet not-sexy-enough-to-upset-the-feminists Wonder Woman. She has no hips! Where are her hips?! Wonder Woman is just that: a woman.
Is this a new show or something?


New TV series. I think NBC is doing it?

I used my grampa's safety razor one time and cut the hell out of myself.

Never again!

John Edward isn't crazy... he's a con man! His staff hands out questionnaires asking who the audience members are there to contact, and about what. Then he comes out and uses that and his less than mediocre skills as a cold reader to fool the idiots that paid 300$ to talk to grampa into believing that they are.

He is the worst kind of person on the planet.
