#3 Being a women is hard - especially in our times when they're been convinced that being a counterfeit man (never actually as good as the original article) should be a woman's highest ambition.

"The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire."

#10 They need to get a little bigger. Many college kids are skipping out on laptops altogether (at least here in China). They do everything on their phone including writing English papers, and printing them out on a wireless printer.

#13 My iPhone 5c has been on its last legs, so a few days ago I invested in an SE, which apparently is a 6 in a 5 body. There has long been a sizable and vocal minority, both male and female, who do not think bigger is better in a telephone, and so that body was resurrected to fill a real market niche. I was advised by the Apple store clerk to check back to see if the SE on offer after Wednesday’s upgrade announcement would still have 6 innards or be upgraded to 7 innards, but instead Apple took it off the market altogether.

But this isn’t a feminist issue, merely one of a minority with a strongly felt taste. If the feminists want a mass-market manufacturer to meet their specific desire for a smallish device, they could easily win the point by showing survey results indicating a market size in multiple millions of units.

#15 Watching a Simpson's episode "Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment," in which the Irish are slammed in a bigoted manner.

Where do I, a person of Irish descent (just one drop, right?), get my personhood back?
