I drove cross country with my cat, and she went in a large cage of the type that they use at shows. I drive a Mustang hatchback, and I put the back seats down and it just barely fit. When I had two cats, I drove them from Dallas to Austin in this cage. It is just big enough to put a small litter pan in, which was…

You realize that there is nothing you can do about it and let it go. And keep the old resume updated at least every 6 months, and keep on networking b/c that's good practice even for people with no fear of layoff.

1) You have the final say in who you date. Your ex should not have deceived you.

It bothers you b/c maybe it hit a nerve with you and b/c it was a dick move. It's totally understandable that it still bothers you. Just keep reminding yourself that it was a dick move by an ex-gf that says more about her than it does about you, and that will help you move past it.

Oh, blah, I meant on the ovary or tubes - that is, if it is growing in a way that blocks the egg reaching the uterus. That doesn't always happen, so you could be fine.

I had super painful periods accompanied by puking and diarrhea. They were super painful from day 1, and I can't remember when the puking started. Def by my mid-20's I was puking. I controlled it for a while with hbc, and then went off hbc for no particular reason. Endometriosis is not always symptomatic, and my…

You do nothing with the information. You are not his gf, and you have no obligation to help him process his feelings. I had a bf of 2 years break up with me but somehow want to still be emotionally and sexually involved with me (from two time zones away). I just broke off contact. I didn't tell him we were…

"(presumably a sexualized appearance).

Yeah, I have been known to put on a cute outfit or makeup even when I have no intention of leaving the house. Yes, it is only for me, and yes, I enjoy doing it, and no, I don't spend any time at all on those days examining what informed my good feelings from looking cute. I analyze the fuck out of it on other days,…

So the person/people who contributed to that article are blissfully unaware of gynomastia, which affects as much as 50% of men.

What? You are aware that men have breasts, too, right? That their nipples are attached to actual mammary glands? I have no idea how you could think that men's and women's chests are not analogous.

The problem I have with your framing is that you set the appropriateness level at what is sexually attractive to other people. Which, frankly, you can't necessarily predict. Anyone should be able to go to work in a stripper outfit and expect their coworkers to keep their eyes on the Power Point (or the lathe, or the…

I saw that "get laid either way" implication, too. I wonder if most people don't agree with that interpretation or just aren't as bothered by calling women whores.

That is *really* condescending.

Oh hells, no. You need to clear your pipes, you take care of it before the date. Any attempt to justify 3 second sex to me will get you tossed right out of my bed.

Well said.

Just give me an excuse to call them "peggings".

I love your point 2.

I agree. Women grow up in the same society that men do, and we learn the same things about what is attractive. When we choose to look attractive for ourselves, we are still making our choices from an array of options presented by the male gaze. Even if we don't see another person all day, our choices were informed…
