Ditto. I just responded to another comment - Playtex Sport is the way to go.

Playtex Sport tampons are the only thing working for me these days. I'm someone who literally is trapped at home at least one day each cycle, and while they don't totally mitigate all risk, they do a decent job.

Thanks for that. I have met with hostility, shock and distaste just for basic negotiating. I've also had people express that as a single woman I don't "need" to earn much and should be content with a modest salary. I've never seen anyone chastise a successful man for wanting to climb the ladder or make money - on the…

The first time I negotiated in a salaried job, I was met with shock and disapproval - but I got what I asked for.

This is the first new comic I've actually loved in a long time. And I can tell it will hold up for repeat readings.

I was just looking at old Cosmo covers from the 80's (and maybe older) and I was surprised how different the headlines were. There was still a lot of fluff, but not nearly as much "52 Sex Tricks to Make Frat Boys Your Slaves" type stuff.

I thought that Varela was an excellent casting choice.

As a copywriter, I really appreciate this story. I regularly freelance for industry titans who couldn't pass a middle school English test.

I prefer "the forced-birth movement." But yeah, bad branding back when those terms came into common parlance.

I think the last paragraph can't be emphasized enough. Boys spying on girls is way too often portrayed as harmless, natural and not a real violation. (Like in American Pie.) When the Tyler Clementi suicide happened, people acted as if his roommate spying on him was an unprecedented outrage. Yes, the suicide drove that…

I agree with Moran "that women feel like they've got to persuade men to have sex with them by enduring incredibly costly cosmetic things is just nuts." But I HATE the myth that straight men will bang anyone, anywhere, anytime, with no preferences or inhibitions.

Beard and bikini trimmers are the way to go, in my opinion. I don't know why they're not more popular. Everything looks neat and nice, there's no pain or inflamed follicles or weird rashes, and it takes very little time.

I woke up once with a swollen tongue, and detected a circular insect-bite-type wound on the right side. Everyone tried to convince me a spider had rampaged around in my mouth the night before.

My friend's mom had an ant in her ear in AZ. It happens.

Seriously. I thought, "If JonBenet would be 22, wouldn't that make me like 70?" Can't believe it.

It's always seemed to me that part of objectification is the assumption that only the dominant people will do the judging, observing and speaking - and being disturbed and outraged when the subordinates turn that same critical eye and voice on them. I see it whenever poor people speak about the rich, women about men,…

It sounds like an anal euphemism to me.

Exactly. I know people who define a size 10 as "a bigger girl."

My vicious oldest cat is like the Jesse James of cats, but the others are pacifists. If a scorpion or gecko gets into the house, they just study it until I notice and rescue it. They're the first cats I've known like this - my childhood cats were ruthless killers and had some surprisingly big trophies.

Holy crap. I grew up with outdoor cats and they killed everything from rabbits to snakes, sometimes tussling with the occasional possum or weasel - but they never killed a bat that I knew of. Your cat was hardcore.
