I'm crazy paranoid, too, I might be more so because it freaks me out when my boyfriend's dick comes near my groin area without a condom on it (like it freaks me out when we're both sleeping in the nude because I worry that he's going to accidentally impregnate me in his sleep), but I've always been a bit of worry wart.

I take the opposite approach, believing it'd be 'just my fucking luck' to get pregnant when I don't want to because I am totally unmagical.

DO YOU EVEN WAX, BRO?

HA!!!! I would love to go as a giant vagina for Halloween. I guess I'll just have to stick with my original plan - slutty ghost. (I'm not kidding - my best friend and I are doing this).

FACT: I have two small children and am thinner than/just as fit as she is.

When my company came back from Iraq a general ordered a bunch of colonels to guard the incredible number of firearms we'd carried with us and the rest of us were loosed to stretch our legs. Some people didn't bother to leave their sidearm holsters behind on what was, at the moment, the World's Most Heavily -Armed and…

My grandparents lived in Germany during WWII. It was Hitler's way or death. You did what you could to survive, whatever kept you out of harm's way. There were men in the Nazi party who didn't want to be there.. women who sewed Nazi uniforms who were not Nazi supporters. This is probably the reason other countries…

And for a broader, fascinating look at the women and Nazi Germany try Mothers in the Fatherland: Women, the Family and Nazi Politics.

conventional wisdom states that Nazi atrocities were largely committed by a small, active group of psychos

There's actually a lot more going on here than the article says. The main metabolic problem in obesity is that adipocytes (fat cells) actually swell to the point where they exceed the diffusion radius of the surrounding capillaries, and so they become hypoxic (not enough oxygen). Mitochondria need oxygen to generate…

This is what should have happened on Sunday.

I don't think I'm alone when I say: I will not read another Doug Barry article until he addresses what he said in a tone that indicates he knows it is wrong to mock a rape victim. To do it in the first place is questionable. To do it in a feminist space is obscene.

To do it…

I'm imagining an entire room full of sweaty, beer-breath doods in popped polo shirts pulling this shit, and I'm just exhausted. Vibrators exist so that no woman should ever have to endure this.

I only care about royal events if we get the day off work.

Those of you who dislike the Daily Mail will enjoy this smackdown, put on it by the journalist Mehdi Hasan on Question Time last night:

SHUT UP about twerking. Someone's always done something before you have, who cares?! I recall the Ying Yang twins talking about it a million years ago.

I don't know, there's something sneakily heteronormative in the way these are all about big, aggressive dinosaurs ravishing people. I'm off to write my own erotic novel, Consensually Scissored by a Hypsilophodon.

My friend has a vegetarian 8-year-old. Nobody in her family is vegetarian. She just is.

your point? You think all vegetarians are ignorant of this? Or you think vegetarians believe they've solved all the world's problems by not eating a hamburger?

Not eating food that makes you uncomfortable (physically or ethically) is not being picky. Being picky is never trying anything new because it is unfamiliar. Big difference. Anyone who judges people for avoiding food that makes them feel badly is a huge jerk. However, I'm all about judging people who won't eat…

Telling your vegetarian/vegan friends that they can eat a dish with chicken broth in it is a dick move. No, they won't die but they might get diarrhea or just be really, really, justifiably pissed at you for being such a dick.
