I'm an old school Nanoer (every year since 2005 - and though half of those attempts were epic fails, the other half were technically wins!) but a new Nerdfighter. I sometimes plan but only just a little bit. I am also dependent on Word Wars to get…

On Friday the 14th of August there is an Artisan fair in Dundas Square near the mall but it doesn't start until 5:15 http://www.ydsquare.ca/index.php?option=com_jcalpro&Itemid=122&extmode=view&extid=358

The more I think critically about Bella, the less I like her but on my initial reading I really enjoyed the characters. (Team Jacob all the way though - I like Edward but still). I think Bella works because she is very nearly a blank slate: she has…

I actually live in the city. I walk to the bus and arrive downtown about a half hour later. If there are people coming in from outside the city who aren't familiar with transit may I recommend that you drive into Yorkdale and then subway down from t…

I think we are trained to believe that if a man hits a woman it is worse than if a woman hits a man but I think that thought process needs overturned. If a woman hits a man with intent to harm him that should be just as frowned upon as the other way…

Car insurance is a racket. You pay more if you drive a red car than if you drive a blue car. Their statistics are bizarre and intense. I wonder what would happen if someone went after them with a sexist discrimination suit? Has that ever happened?…

I think that's the disconnect between the feminist movement at it's base and the hijacking that has occurred surrounding it. You shouldn't generalize that all women use feminism to call men sexist pigs any more than a feminist should generalize tha…

I always pick books by their covers - I'm trying to reevaluate that position but I really do categorize books based on what they look like. Unless there is a specific recommendation I tend to pick them up by cover then read the back to make my decis…

I agree. Feminism picked up the connotation of "psycho man hating nutbar" sometime in the 70s and has been suffering the back lash ever since. There are elements who demonize men and I think that needs to stop to really open up the conversation. M…

I agree on political and personal opinions. There are few situations where I could imagine getting an abortion but I don't think that gives me the right to take that choice away from someone else in a situation different from mine.

I like this line of thinking. Arguments based on things like "that's the way I was raised" or "everyone believes that" or "such and such told me it was like that" are not good things. It's one of the reasons I think young people, and people of all…

I don't think it has anything to do with innate differences in the brain. Boys are fully capable of reading and though the stats point to a divide that is increasingly leaving boys behind in things like university enrollment - I don't think you can…
