@CKD1: I find that so creepy. I once dated a dude who thought it was hot and wanted me to call him daddy—as in "Ooh, fuck me harder, Daddy!" I told him that nothing would make me dry up faster than thinking about my father, which I inevitably would. So he dropped it.

I love Dan Savage. And his husband is hot—I've read a lot about him but I don't think I've ever actually seen Terry before.

This has happened to me. When I'm in DC I sometimes meet my father—-a bald sixtysomething lawyer—- for lunch at a big power-lunch restaurant in his office building. I look nothing like him, and we get our fair share of stares, especially if I walk in, hug him, and say "Hi Daddy!"

@Not-Shattered: I agree it doesn't solve the problem of sex-trafficking. But I don't think that means turning a blind eye to the sex-trafficking on Craigslist was the solution, and that's exactly what they were doing until they were pressured to shut down that part of the site.

@smmo: A spectacular example of confirmation bias.

@ElviraGooch: I'd show up for that. Naked women are like Mormon kryptonite. And if we all started making out it might create a rupture in the Mormon force.

@ElviraGooch: Joseph Smith was a wackadoodle of the first order. If you study Mormon ceremonies and liturgy, it's positively ridiculous how much of it he pulled from Freemasonic practice and ancient Judaic ritual (or what he thought ancient Judaic ritual looked like). It's like a hoakey Dan Brown screenplay. And don't

I look forward to the Jezebel post by an underage or undocumented woman who's been sex-trafficked via Craigslist ad and the effect this change has had on her life. Or one by the criminals who used Craiglist to line up men to rape her for cash.

That's not something that would ever be considered," one of the wives said.

A result of what we in the private sector know as "corporate culture".

@shananigans: Ooh, that's a tough call. We could always share. Variety is the spice of life, after all...

@14K:missesMizJ: I was planning to kill all the competition, but a time-share might go better with my work schedule, so...yeah. Sign me up—but I get firsties.

@SqueekSqueek: Yeah...I'm also a fan. Of the makeup, I mean. I like the makeup. That's what I meant.

So...is it wrong that I still snicker every time I hear the brand name "Rimmel?"

@WhiskyTango: Yeah, me too. I've been in that situation—I actually broke off an engagement when my dude realized he didn't want to have children. They both have an absolute right to want what they want, but the two things are not really reconciliable. You can't have half a baby.

@BellaNotte: Very true. And the problem they have—that she's a workaholic who doesn't take good care of herself and he's tired of carrying her train everywhere—is not going to improve even if they have a kid.

@BellaNotte: Something they maybe should have discussed before getting married? Or at the very least, before it got to this point? This issue tends to be a dealbreaker for couples.
