But was it devastating because they told you, or because they cheated? I mean, it's not like you not-knowing actually made a difference in how they treated you.
Apparently going sunbathing topless is helpful if you plan to breastfeed. I remember reading in my college's alumnae magazine once (women's college—it was a long article about breastfeeding and the pressures women feel about all things breast-feeding/formula-related) that a woman who got pregnant when she lived in…
We got a carpet-covered cylinder with a section of wicker-like textured surface. The cats use that more than they use the rug-covered part. It's not just cardboard, it's actually like woven wood. They also love my beautiful wicker shelf, sigh.
Make sure the cats have lots of space above the reach of the dog. We have no cat-only areas in my apartment (it's not really feasible given the layout) but there are plenty of shelves and chests and such that are accessible to cats but not the dog. My dog rarely chases the cats, but sometimes he mixes them up with…
I am allergic to cats, but I live with three of them (I frequently snuggle my face in their fur, because I'm nuts). Flonase has been amazing.
What would happen to the dog when you weren't home? I don't understand how you could have a dog only half the year unless someone else was taking care of it.
Gender might influence something like humping—my dog (man-dog) humps other male dogs, and humps some female dogs, and male dogs hump him, but I don't think I've ever seen a female dog hump a male dog. But a dog's upbringing is going to have a lot more of an impact on its behavior in an aggression-sense than it's…
Actually he could have already killed people, but nobody knows about it (yet).
I know this is slightly off topic but I feel compelled to point out that Edison was a total douche and let's not use him as an example of people bringing goodness into the world because he was a total albatross hanging around the neck of innovation and Truth and Beauty and all that is Good in the world.
It just seems like it would be hard to enjoy work that explicitly endorses bigotry in itself. As n3onkn1ght pointed out, OSC's work is mired in his own hatred and psychotic issues with various groups ("Rose the Nose" etc). So I just can't imagine actually enjoying a book whose existence hinges on antisemitism and…
It's not quite like, "It doesn't matter how good or true the statement might be, if Hitler said it, it's wrong."
Yes, you could say that all men are schrodinger's rapist. That's why the phrase exists. And it may be broad, but it is certainly not an unhelpful stereotype. Certainly not unhelpful to women, who tend to get raped.
OMG. "What if it all led to something that Moreno thought was consensual?"
All cops are schrodinger's rapists. It's not like there's been one case of rapey cops—it's not an uncommon thing, cops breaking laws and abusing their power—and women can't expect cops to keep them safe.
Presumably there should be a cop—some cop—within a 12 minute walk/drive of the station. That's why there are multiple precincts and multiple cops on duty at the same time.
Hey! Even if you didn't mean to blame the victim there or anything, you still managed to do it.
Not a nurse or doctor, but as a woman who spent much of her life exclusively dating women, and whose social circle was primarily made up of lesbians for much of that time, you should definitely get tested for STIs with the same regularity that straights do. I know lesbians who got STIs from lesbian-lady-sex. It's…
People keep talking about how Yale "couldn't have known" that the dude was a psycho, and thus "couldn't have done anything" to protect her. But really, most research into criminals of this kind suggests that there are plenty of obvious warning signs that happen before anyone gets really hurt. Read The Gift of Fear,…
But it's not like regular plastic surgery, in which a woman can either do nothing (and thus have small boobs or a big nose) or get surgery (and thus have big boobs or a small nose). It's not a zero-sum game, is what I'm saying, in which vaginal birth is all good and c-sections are all bad. There are benefits to…
