Sometimes I wish they were so I could kick one in the nuts.

I remember seeing it discussed on Designing Women, and Annie Potts made a passionate argument for believing and loving Anita Hill and for thinking she was brave to stand up to what most people told her to put up with.

Can we maybe no say "sex slaves" anymore? Sex slaves are like some porn thing, whereas these victims were more, you know VICTIMS of kidnapping, torture, and repeated rape.

I don't know how my husband learned about periods, but he surprised and delighted me early in our relationship by not being the slightest bit grossed out by them. He is the best.

You know though, we DON'T shy away from it except for in a few spaces, and even then we never get to avoid talking about it. We talk about it all the time, often to the exclusion of anything else, and it's changed basically nothing. I'm all for teaching everyone safety, situational awareness, etc. but I would like to

Now, give that advice to both genders, and we're totally cool. It's also not good for guys to drink to much. Bad things happen to them too. There is nothing wrong with taking precautions for personal safety and I don't think anyone is saying that. What I say a lot though, is I'd like to occasionally have a

And I am fine with this as long as it is not ONLY girls/women who are taught these things. I am fine with this if we can occasionally be allowed to have a discussion about rape without getting derailed by people saying - but actually you should be careful! We know. We talk about that enough already.

When you leave your windows open and get robbed, people might say it was your fault, sure. What they most likely won't do is argue that because your windows were open, it was not actually a robbery. If they did, then robbers would, like rapists, feel empowered to rob because they know they can hide behind the

Yes, sort of. Here's how you do it. Teach everyone, regardless of gender, things like situational awareness. That's ok!

I didn't see that one. She is a delight.

OK, but - I have a child who is not a morning person, and sometimes I do have him sleep in comfy cotton pants that he could wear to school in a pinch because I would rather not wake him up. I don't think that is that crazy, per se.

I loved her shoulder shrug response to anyone who has a problem with it too.

It's almost. . . it's almost as though you can't just define a large, diverse state by its loudest assholes!

You know though, I think PA is a lot like us (Texas) in that you have liberal cities and ultraconservative rural areas. Is that correct?

This was the case with us too. The Ken dolls got to have sex, but they never got any good story lines.

Mostly they just had sex with Ken, with each other, multiple Kens, multiple Barbies, Skippers, Orgies, 69.

"You're always wrong, it's always a set up"

Also, under Texas divorce law, he would have been stuck with that debt even if she left before they finished paying it off.

I live in Austin now, but I'm a Fort Worth girl too! Go, Wendy!

Idealogical purity in our politicians is not a luxury we have here in Texas. I am 100% against 20 week bans, but if they would have agreed to drop the admitting privileges and ambulatory surgical center requirements, and regulations of medication abortions in exchange for a 20 week ban where proper exceptions were
