Maybe it's that schools are becoming more conservative than they were long, long ago when I was taking sex ed circa '88-93. (Yes, I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard Nevermind.) In my sex ed and HIV/AIDS ed classes in jr. high/ high school, it was just what you described. We even discussed consent…

Love the hushed Wimbledon style commentary. My word!

Not to worry, I'm sure he's also anti-sex marriage unless it's for babies. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ifgHHh…

What about men and boys who want to do things that are traditionally "for women"? Feminism challenges gender roles, and that's good for men too. It's great for my dad that my mom is feminist, because his mom wouldn't let boys in the kitchen, and dad loves to cook. He also loved parenting his two little kids, so it was…

Some vet associations and shelters have programs to foster pets for people leaving abusive relationships. If there's one near you, I bet they could use volunteers.

"deeply held beliefs" Freudian slip!

On principle, I don't think my employer should be choosing how I spend any of my compensation package. I also don't think the Supremes should make an exception for contraceptives and not other health coverage a religious corporation might disapprove of. After all, a JW corp's deadly held beliefs about the evils of…

Of course they don't support greater access to "whore pills"! The fringe is now trying to go mainstream with the idea that contraceptives are harmful to women. And families. They're only trying to save you from yourself!

And you could serve it on a bed of dandelion greens from the park! Keep it fresh and local!

Also, "like a girl" is used as a homophobic taunt towards boys, whereas if you tell a boy he does something "like a guy" it's not an insult. Anyone on this thread concerned about boys' self confidence should be stamping out "like a girl" as an insult. It's not good for any of us.

That's completely naive. A lot of women would prefer a job in the trades because it pays a lot more than working at the cosmetic counter. They can face a lot of hostility choosing a non-trad job. That's not "choice," that's coercion. Charlize Theron explains in all in this movie:

I'm going to make baby-shaped cookies right now. Then I'm going to eat them. Head first.

Whoa there. If a comment board is stressing you, you can always read something else. ;) Or you can join the rest of us scarfing junk food and swilling wine on the couch in our jam jams. Speaking of, going to pour a little jack over some Dr. Pepper and maraschino cherries.

Mine makes waffles and coffee while I sleep in. Sometimes he even brings them to me in bed as a gentle hint that maybe I should start thinking about getting up sometime before noon. He is the best!

I barely have the energy to clean up after myself, so fuck it.

And why my rabbit and I are tearing around the carpet like madwomen.

With apologies to Ms. Kerr... My husband & I have achieved gender equality in the home; neither of us does housework! ;)

THIS!!
