fun fact:

This is your obligatory reminder that whatever you think of American prudery when it comes to the sex lives of politicians, Anthony Weiner didn’t go down for a little harmless consensual sexting. The “accidental” tweet that broke the story was an unsolicited dick pic sent to a college student who had tweeted him about…

Comment on silently in your head.

Okay, I am a little shocked at the number of comments about how Fu Yuanhei should have used hormonal birth control to skip her period for Rio. Lady is an elite athlete who no doubt has tracked her fitness relative to nutrition, medications, rest, etc. for years. Shouldn't we give her the benefit of assuming she knows…

Maybe she’s not on hormonal birth control. It screws with some people, and I can see what would be minor symptoms for a normal person being a challenge for an elite athlete in prime training.

Thank goodness he's ok - it would have been really ugly if he dyed.

The problem with your solution is that that’s not how the mental calculus goes for us women. It’s not: “Am I willing to punch this guy in the face even if it means he punches me in response?” Yeah, OK, I’ll go for it. I can take a punch. Except that’s not how it works.

If it was in a movie you’d say it was unrealistic CGI

That’s “the Biles”. She’s the only gymnast that can do that.

that is not how physics works

This is terrible, shitty advice with those “hints” and you’ve probably never been on the receiving end of those kind of “hints”. They’re just cruel and won’t prepare or help at all. Dr Nerdlove is right- a clean break is best.

OK, brand matters there. We have a greyhound and she is useless as a crumb vacuum.

It got worse.

Hot men seeking sex with each other is probably the oldest Olympian tradition still on the go. I’m pretty sure the ancient Olympics started as a vast man-on-man orgy before slowly incorporating non-sexual sports into the mix.

Well, not all professions can be completely humorless and boring.

I love it. All the chalkboards. I have a laaahhh-haaawt of friends that may be scratching their heads wondering if they’re being made fun of.

Really? I’d be thrilled by her creativity, drive, and commitment. Her office personality is probably pretty fun too.

I thought the same thing but if you look at the picture the blue one is Hot Wheels which is also a brand Matel in fact which also makes Barbie.

I’d ask you to explain it to us, but I doubt our lady brains could handle it.

Seriously?! Not just all of this ridiculousness, but you DIDN’T GO WITH YOUR WIFE WHEN SHE WAS COMPETING IN THE OLYMPICS?!?! How many Superbowls did you make her sit through? She literally competes one week every four years. WTF?
