it's a bit much to snark about someone for focusing on the people they professionally represent
B, that is entirely beside the point. Whenever someone from a women's group speaks on behalf of women, someone is constitutionally required to express a variant of 'what about teh menz?' Otherwise the internet will break.

So... how many hours did that jury deliberate?

euthenase feline and canine pets
Yeah, good luck with that. (I'm not saying all the other things I'm thinking here.)
Also: a well-looked-after family dog in a fenced garden is really unlikely to kill a native bird. Mine spends most of her time snoring on the foot of my bed, and during walks she is far too well-supervised to have the opportunity, even if she were to think of it (which I'm pretty sure she hasn't, ever).
Of course wild dogs and feral cats are a different story. But they aren't pets.

Hey, I said it was 'utter twaddle' and 'reactionary bollocks' and I don't even get a shoutout? :)

You're supposed to take folic acid right up until the end of the first trimester, aren't you?
(Do this, do that, do the other. It's as if no one was born before pregnancy vitamin supplements and lists of prohibited foods. My mother tells hair-raising tales of her gynecologist chainsmoking across the desk at her prenatal appointments. He also recommended she have a glass of whisky every night before bed! Ah, South America in the 1970s...)

You should have rolled in regardless, because there were a lot of people rolling in well after the film had started. And please accept my blushes at the very unkind thoughts I had about every one of them...
I am so passive-aggressively psychotic about late entrants myself (oh yes! I will roll my eyes at your back like a pro, I tell you!) that I would never inflict the experience on anyone else. At least that film is virtually guaranteed to come back.
I'm assuming someone in his 20s who likes all of those things will enjoy it too? :)
Erm, I imagine so. :)
Last night was Cleo from 5 to 7: Nouvelle Vague FTW! It was well worth the price of entry for the early 60s Paris street scenes.

Kyle, that is entirely too sensible, and I must rebel against it. I am now compelled to tell you that I think you're full of shit. ;)

My great-grandparents, also from a small town in Southland, drove a car jointly. He steered and she shifted gears. They did not, needless to say, have a licence.

This may seem sort of redundant, but in the interests of not being a snarky asshole (my usual modus operandi), Morgan: you do get that Emma is the daughter in this story? Not the mother. Right? She's not telling her own story, so she doesn't have to 'take ownership' of it. She's asking us all to imagine - as she imagines in this piece - what it was like to be her mother, and then, more broadly, to empathise with all people who are abused by their partners. This isn't a question of deflection *at all*. As stephen says, you seem to have grasped the wrong end of the stick. The one with poo on it.

I find it frankly incredible - in the old-school, 'incroyable' way - that Morgan could read Emma's piece and turn it into some kind of gross 'Let Me Judge Your Family' thing. Things are just not computing for me here.
