"any way you slice it it's still oriented around the woman's will being broken down"...
Only if you remove any agency the woman might have had in, you know, actually desiring sex in the first place. You're reading takes it for granted that whenever a 1930s-1950s era lady eventually had sexy times, originally she didn't want to. So is your position that women wanting sex all on their own is a recent thing?
1. It's Roger Corman! What do you expect? 2. Nothing on god's earth will make Catwoman look like Citizen Kane. 3. This could have been improved to awesome with the simple addition of Harvey Korman. I don't understand why the two of them never worked together. It seems elementary.
Lodge is fine. My mother's hasn't been replaced in the 30 years I remember her having it and mine is going on 15. I like a 12 inch. A 10 might feel kind of small if it's the only one you have. #Groupthink
This is the worst. New format completely unnavigatable on my netbook. Tried to respond to a comment in GT about certain Linux distros having better UI (and I Linux everyday) and I got kicked out to the story about Drag Race. And franly I come for the commenters, not the articles per se. So thanks for the poor decision making, Gawker decision makers. Eff. This. Ess. I'm done. #Groupthink
@ihavethesedreams: No, i think I gotta disagree. Cereals like Sugar Smacks (when it was still Sugar Smacks) in the early 80s I remember always ended with a tagline "Part of a nutritious breakfast" and suddenly by the end of high school couldn't say it anymore. But the key word is PART. The commercials always showed a breakfast table laden with horrible cereal and eggs and juice and fruit and toast and meat...and cereal. Pie is part of a nutritious dinner, if the dinner is rice and chicken with two veggies, right?
Now, if nutella said "Now a nutritious breakfast," that would be different (see Activa: the yoghurt that makes your poop into rainbows).
We as a cicvilization cannot allow people to continue to succeed by suing for their own laziness and stupidity.
@LionAndUnicorn is Rosie Retrospection: I'll admit to having used "gypped" growing up in Illinois 30+ years ago, but there was another phrase that was used about money, bargaining in particular, that I've never heard anywhere else: "jew him down." As in, he wanted $750 for the Buick but I jewed him down to $600. Ugh!
The former might be overlooked, as you suggest, but there was no excuse for the latter even in the early 80s.
@roxie: Anthropologically, they are a highly endogamous culture. More than what RedShoes said, not only do they have their own culture, they are an introverted group and seen as exclusionary. As with any culture that keeps to itself and resists assimilation they became the targets of bizarre whisperings and conspiracy theories, not unlike the kinds of rumors that circulated in medieval Europe about the Jews, though the basis of anti-semitism is different than for anti-Romani sentiment. However both groups were believed to kidnap children and be prone to thievery in various forms.
@LeyliMajnoun: SlayBelle's delivery was so filled with blood and gore and pain that I don't honestly remember what she looked like. All I remember is that I couldn't figure out where to rest my gaze because it seemed like there was blood everywhere.
There wasn't, on reflection, but jeebus! a little warning for what might be possible would have steeled me.
But then maybe it would have been better if she dolled herself just a bit. Some lip gloss and pearls and stockings with that seem that men in the 50s found so irresistible? Is that too much to expect?
@PopsicleToes: In response to Aesop's Foibles, remember that many states do not have transferable inspections. You can have the car inspected on Monday and sell it on Wednesday and the buyer would still have to pay to have it inspected. So all you are doing is giving the buyer a sort of mechanical guarantee that says "my mechanic checked it and says it's fine." But your mechanic may like you and not want to cause you grief and the buyer's mechanic may be more hard-assed and is *looking* for problems. Also, any smart buyer would ask to have the car looked at by his/her own mechanic anyway so paying for the inspection is mooted (extra expense, no gain.)
If your state does NOT have mandatory inspections, paying for one may be helpful. If it does, well, the car passed inspection how many months ago? Things to think about.
@lalie (apologetic mess): You don't want to date J G-L. He'll spend all his time talking about Jon Lithgow's huge ego and how awesome 3rd Rock from the Sun was. That guy...always living in the past.
