@Not-Shattered: Very serious. And the father gets (I'm pretty sure fathers are obligated to take paternity leave) something like a month and a half at least. I think it all totals up to a year and the parents can split that between them.

@Not-Shattered: I can't imagine having kids and returning to work (where it's as if I have work kids who need constant attention) right away.
It's still easier for the average man to get a promotion, higher education and better salary. So if I want a man with the same amount of drive, morals and intelligence, chances are he might be scoring higher on the above three indicators if only because the world uses different scorecards.
@stellalukin: Love. The name! I thought if I ever got the desire to procreate, my kid would be named Margarita or Kaliakra but Mercury is in the running now.
@JenFizz: Hearted you. If, as a reply to a reply, this didn't need two levels of context, I'd totally nominate it for COTD.

@introverted_innovator: It's another side of the same coin. Either way, a woman is defined by her sexual behavior. In that aspect, it's not really much of a step forward.
@FinkNottle: A tasteful ensemble of his own entrails?
@Sean Bon: Just had to login to promote this.
@MissCrankypants: We should have a club. I'll bring the Bailey's and ice cream.
@crumpy: WOW! That's a... Wow. Hope there was alcohol.
@newyorkmuse: I completely agree with everything you said but my BSG nut side has to point out that Howard's impossible crush is Starbuck/Katee Sackhoff. Which by itself is pretty cool since she is such a kick-ass character on BSG.
@bethikus nerdimus: That's because you haven't tried playing chess with your vagina. It's a steep learning curve but once you learn to move the knights right, you're golden.
Hm, caution tape bikini... Hello, new Christmastime-away-from-family project.
@New to NYC: Sorry. Sometimes it's difficult to tell a troll from genuine asshole until it's too late.
