If you need economic circumstances to hold families together, they weren't very strong to begin with, were they?
I suppose I could paste this link to an 'Engrish' translation of the Lost plotline, but here seems just as good: [link]
Angel: Just admit it: you think you're gonna ride in, save the day, and sweep Buffy off her--Spike: Like you're not thinking the same thing. Angel: I'm already seeing somebody. Spike: What, dog girl?

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
So it's women's fault that more women than men get degrees?
Sure! Why not!?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, my god, it is 8:30, and my phone has rung SIX TIMES. Stop calling me, people! I haven't even had breakfast yet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Gawker does its part to get people to notice the McCain gambling Times article: [link]
OK, I did the thing I was supposed to do on Friday, and now I feel like I'm just done. And I can't decide if it's tacky to have the leftovers from the breakfast for the meeting for my lunch.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Another quote from that article:
'For the first time, in a historic experiment in our society, we have more women than men emerging from university. The majority of young people not in education, employment or training are men.
'Of course the world is changing, and it's fantastic it is. But the fact is that even if men want to be the breadwinner, they are no longer being given the opportunity of being the breadwinner.
Huh? Those men had the opportunity to go to college, right? So is this guy saying that men without college degrees should earn more money than women with degrees?

It's those ballbusting women emasculating our men!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Sure! Why not!?
I'm not sure "fault" is the right word here, but yeah, why wouldn't it be?
Where I take issue is the idea that women having JOBS that require EDUCATION is causing society to suddenly implode in a fiery ball of gender issues.

I'm cold and my head hurts. Neither or which are my fault.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm cold and my wrist hurts. That last one might be my fault though.
