Or we could actually look up the statistics instead of assuming not for profit organizations are scamming us for cash. http://www.rainn.org/statistics

I had a huge argument with a co-worker over whether or not the BCP was causing gay children. She was worried that her time on the pill would result in a gay son one day, and had a giant conspiracy theory about how gay people only really started to exist in masses after the pill came out. When I asked about lesbians or…

I wonder what this means for older men taking testosterone replacement therapy.

While I enjoy almost all the Law and Orders (looking at you UK, weird wigged people who just reuse old episode plots), I have to admit SVU has been my favourite. For me it comes down to a fairly stable cast, and I've honestly haven't watched it since the end of Stabler/Benson. Its stability really lets us learn more…

A pastry party sounds far more delicious than a vegetable sticking out of my donut...and sword fighting kinda sounds funner than veggies too...

We had a horrible failure attempt at trying to make sponge toffee tonight. Everyone I've ever talk to said it was the simplest thing in the universe...yet 3 tries later we have 3 solid bricks of some sort of hard candly-like block melted to the bottom of each pan. Has anyone actually successfully made this stuff?

It might just be a sizing issue with the cup. I had a similar problem with Divacups, and had more success with Melunas. If you're super fond of the whole cup-thing it might be worth trying out a different brand :)

I’ve been struggling to deal with a close friend this week. She came clean that she still was extremely depressed about a devastating break up which happened about 6 months ago, and started seeing a therapist about it. From what it seems like I’m the only one she has confided in and I’m just at a loss on how to help…

Seconding the SMNTY recommendation. Love that podcast!

The boys who pressure these teenage girls to have sex without a condom now that she has an IUD are the same boys who would push to avoid condoms in other situations. I would far rather give these young women a safer option against pregnancy, and let them make that choice. Instead of limiting their options, lets work…

"Our wedding night was nothing short of amazing"

I've heard theories about this in education. In that instance it's a trend of doing well in school being seen as feminine, thus boys turning away from educational success least they be seen as 'too girly'. Essentially it's viewing a desire to over-achieve as something womanly, thus a threat to their masculinity and…

I was just thinking about this! Thanks for posting it :)

Yeah, I'm kind of leaning this way as well. I'd probably also include using gender stereotypes to presume a woman's knowledge is lesser than yours, or feeling the need to prove that you know more than her so your manliness is not questioned or whatnot. For example 90% of the time I step into a bestbuy or a game shop…

Exactly, whitesplaining has been around far longer than mansplaining. No one seems to assume the person saying it hates all white people, and to call it racist to white people would get you laughed at. White people have white privilege and can whitesplain, males have male privilege and can mansplain, cis-people have…

Hmm, I'm trying to remember all the places we have seen it. We usually just grab them from Safeway, but I could have sworn Walmart has them too...

They do come in large! It was like Christmas when we found them. You guys could always try Amazon if all else fails, definitely worth it :)

Most men I know have gone out of their way at some point to find a male doctor, not even just for a prostate exam...so I'm not exactly seeing the paranoia aspect either. Most women who are truly untrustful of a male doctor doing an exam know that a female nurse is always available to supervise. Every woman I've ever…

I would like to point out that girls scoring higher than boys on test should not be interpreted as boys grades dropping. People seem to approach this problem through the lens that boys are now struggling and doing worse than ever, which is extremely counter-productive and leads to stupid ideas like this one…

There’s no way this could be less invasive than an IUD. Some people have relatively fine insertions, but a shit ton of women have absolute insertion horror stories.
