[...] Norwegians should take no comfort in being on par with the S&P 500. Norway, after all, is the most egalitarian country in the world, according to Almudena Sevilla-Sanz’ recent article on division of household [...]

I like that she saw how important the role was. She has humility and that’s a refreshing thing. I felt she did the role justice.

They wrote the constitution. Another list of terrorists includes the authors of the first ten amendments to the constitution. Those terrorists gave us the right to free speech.

I’m sure the King of England branded every armed, dissenting colonist a terrorist. Too bad those terrorists are the ones who laid the foundations of this country. Notice they had to be armed to accomplish that.

Comment on Where Can I Find Good Coverage of Women’s Sports? by Mark Elkins

Mark Elkins — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 04:26:36 +0000

It seems to me that we now live in an reactionary world. Did you ever stop to think that ESPN is a profit driven entity that will focus on customer base? I’m sure that you think I am missing the point but it is about money. Women are not going to give the kind of response that deserves that kind of output. Prove me wrong and do the necessary demographics. If 20 women wanted access to ESPN then that would mean nothing. If 20,000 wanted access then that would be AWESOME.

Comment on Top 10 Feminist Songs by Jasmin

PLEASE DO NOT LET YOUR KID LISTEN TO TAYLOR SWIFT. That girl reinforces every single female stereotype in the book. Her lyrics essentially regurgitate/reinforce all those stupid disney princess storylines and really underlines a Madonna/whore complex.

Comment on Iranian Women’s Soccer Team Banned from Chance to Compete in Olympics because of the Wearing of Headscarves by WTFcsusm

WTFcsusm — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 08:05:50 +0000

This seems to be a two front battle. FIFA, on one hand, are being discriminatory against the Iranian women with Islamic values. However, Iran is not necessarily bending the rules either. If women were allowed to walk aroud free of head scarves, then this would be an easily solvable problem. However, FIFA, being an internationally respected association, should make considerations for women and their religious beliefs. Thanks for the post! Wtfcsusm.wordpress.com

Comment on Am I Proud to be an American? by kaleighprahm

kaleighprahm — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 07:59:26 +0000

I believe what you are saying about American pride and the kind of hypocrisy that accompanies it. We feel so proud to have this sense of nationalism, yet many times, we dont even know why we feel so prideful. We identify with being a strong, powerful, intimidating nation that feeds off the smaller, and under developed countries. This only boosts our selfishness.
