A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Consuela's that Vick could reasonably have the right to own dogs taken away. I don't know if the law allows it, but if it does it would be OK with me. If my ex-relative could be told never to work in a bank again in return for not having a criminal conviction, Vick could be told never to own a dog again. Even if he is totally redeemed, it would be fair because no one could know for sure and it is reasonable to keep him away from the temptation. Again talking in terms of fairness - don't know the law on this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You're going to have to bribe Rhode Island just to calm down.

Heh.

On average, a feminist marriage will have at least four income sources, two of them tax-free, plus backup welfare entitlements.

I am totally getting right on this!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hmm. I wonder if sis would like this. I like this, but it's not about me. Not about me. Not.

I suspect he might be a bit sociopathic considering his lack of empathy

I want to think this, but I worry he's just an asshole.

I'm trying to figure out what they think the appeal of the "feminist marriage" would be. Why would women choose that rather than just being single mothers, if that's what they wanted? Where's the benefit?

Well, it would require getting pregnant and having kids, though.

Because books.

ita, aren't the laptops your father and sister's gifts? I'm confused.

I'm pretty sure Vick is just an ignorant asshole. Then again I was pretty sure fans would protest and vilify him when they let him play football again. Maybe Eagles fans are just ignorant assholes, too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That blog (Man Boobz) I linked to is pretty cool. But disturbing. It's run by a man:

Misogyny. I mock it.

I find a lot of it in what's called the "manosphere," a loose collection of Men's Rights, Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW), and Pickup Artist (PUA) sites.

TRIGGER WARNING: I quote some pretty extreme stuff here; also, the comments section is pretty much unfiltered, so be prepared.

There's a lot of scary shit he's found....

Money, mostly.

Those in traditional marriages will pay taxes that will be used to support feminist marriages where child support or welfare cannot be recouped, as occurs in our existing welfare state. Traditional marriages have only two income sources, neither of them entitled or tax-free. Over time, many women will prefer “feminist marriage” because of the very substantial economic and sexual liberation advantages. Heterosexual marriage will be heavily burdened by costly marriage penalties, and be comparatively unattractive to women.

But that's just comparing "feminist marriages" to current marriages. What makes a feminist marriage better than just being single?
