is wrong is a guy thing is a radical notion in the Czech Republic is the future is for everybody is a farce is not dead is harming our young is not the story of my life is a campaign for the rights of women is dead? is premature is the word is not a new concept is not boring is boring is not something that has a ring to it is wrong is just plain wrong is for girls is good for men is clearly more attractive to love now is bad for women’s health care is really about gender is alive and well is without merit is still valid as ever in Korea is now alienating women from science is not a party program or organization is not to blame for your solitary pain is a browser through which to see life is a fraud is the “f word” is a socialist scheme is a self-fulfilling prophecy is hopeful is screwing men is hardly ever criticized at all in media is driving girls to violence is a recent phenomenon is a forum for discussion and drinking wine is the theory that men and women should be equal politically is demanding equal rights between the sexes is slightly witchy is incompatible with objectivism and an invalid concept is really about choices is a war against patriarchy is big politics today is about “togetherness” and the idea that “communication is key” is caring for others in an unjust world is still necessary is exactly what the dictionary says it is is oppressing women is not something that has gone away is the one or two hours you wait up for your female companion is beyond visibility is really about setting limits is a dirty word is for Lyft drivers and yoga instructors is a get broke quick scam is not a dirty word is still a word women struggle to say
is like bubble gum is good for you is worse for women than men is not part of the President’s Council on Fitness is defined by God in the Bible is none of the government’s business might not pay off is better than you think is for keeps is good for women’s health is no fairy tale is wrong as well as weak is cool again is an onion that has layers and often makes you cry is my vocation is doing things more legitimately than before is recognized is being sent to an early grave by a series of little digs is no panacea is under siege in our country is like having $100,000 in the bank is worship because of spirits mingling is a powerful legal and social institution that protects the parties involved is the closest kind of friendship is the union of fools is no proof of love is in trouble is all about presenting little saints to God is honorable is accused of duping people into commitments they can’t handle is healthy is the key weapon against poverty is ready to go to the mat is dumb is troubled is for love is a divine institution established by God is forever is still important is worth about 60 bucks may help with guilt about sex is serious business is risky is to let your mate take first place is the best way for most men and women to live is murder to the female spirit is a bond that should be entered into for love and companionship after you know who you really are is worth divorce if it comes to that is more like slavery than just a happy family affair is doing fine is on the rocks is multicultural is a feast where the grace is sometimes better than the dinner is not what you think is unjust is valid is not over is still not easy is the foundation of the family unit can end as early as February 27 is not for everyone
