So I'm thinking this guy read about the Steubenville case and thought to himself that as long as he doesn't digitally penetrate a woman (you know, rape her) or grope her breasts (or videotape it) he'd totally be okay.

Thanks for such a great reply. The weepy night idea is really brilliant. I'm more worried about upsetting my two young kids as I'm not going to explain what's happening to them (one's not talking yet and the other would get too scared). I know my dad would definitely understand.

Thank you! I'm sorry to read about your stepdad. We're really at the beginning here (luckily it was caught early on...he only checked because a female friend was going into surgery for breast cancer, otherwise he wouldn't have thought to) and I have a feeling a lot of up and down emotions are in store for us.

It was nice to read your reply :)

I actually like the joking part too because I think if he wasn't able to joke about it he wouldn't feel okay telling me the details and I need the details to feel I have a grasp on what's going on. I hope your dad is doing okay now!

Thank you for your kind words and I'm really glad to read your dad's health is good now.

I'm going to see my family on Tuesday for Passover. It'll be the first time I see my dad since he told me over the phone that he has breast cancer. Being a math teacher of course he got a kick out of how he beat the odds to get it. Right now he won't need radiation treatment but he will need to get a mastectomy and…

This is just more proof of how bullshit the so called mommy wars are. Lisa Miller saw that every other angle had been talked to death so she completely made up a new category of Feminist SAHM's and how they believe their way is the only way to drum up page clicks (good job, by the way) and another thing to argue…

Good on you for competing though!

Maybe someone can explain the GOOP hate to me. I always thought her site was aimed at wealthy women and maybe men with deep pockets and idle time on their hands so I never read it. Kind of like how I don't read a yacht buying magazine.

To be fair, people made a pretty convincing argument to her that the health care bill was hiding WMD's and if the bill wasn't invaded and torn to pieces that millions of people could literally die. Sure, 10 years from now those people will say they're sorry because as it will turn out, the health care bill did not…

Um...I obviously had a sarcasm fail.

I can only imagine what it must have been like during the NOW and Ms. Magazine era when you were a woman and heard what Betty Friedan and Shirley Chisholm and Gloria Steinem were saying and felt they were speaking what you were feeling inside and realizing that all these other women across the country were feeling the…

Isn't it weird when you have one job it could seem kinda hard but then you take on 3 more jobs and all of a sudden that time where you had just one job seems really really easy in comparison? Soooooo weird.

I don't think you guys truly understand how hard it is to not be a Republican even if you're someone who cares about things. You start off wanting to be a good person, help others, not discriminate, and you think, yeah I could be a Democrat. But then you get your first paycheck and all the taxes taken out and you…

That's a good point that people have incredibly different reasons for voting for one party or the other. It's become so partisan in this country you forget that people on the other side can still agree on many points but have different priorities and are allowed to have those priorities.

On the rare occasions that I ask, my husband will tell me what I presume to be is the truth but in nice ways so I never mind because if I did I just wouldn't ask. When I really want the truth, I'll ask.

ComoEstoy luckily found the article I was referencing. I didn't write that 'I heard it from somewhere,' I wrote that I read it in an article. See the difference?

I can't find the article at the moment but the founder talked about how he named the company Lululemon because he thought Asian women having trouble pronouncing all the 'Ls' was HILArious. Yeah, I'll take the yoga pants at Costco, please.
