Yup. And generally princesses get really awesome pink gowns and sparkly jewels. You can turn a princess into an empowered strong feminist simply by coming up with your own narrative for her....while allowing said princess to still have her glittery gowns and tiara even as she is saving the world, getting her PhD,…

"The best her mother and I can do is give her the tools to navigate, talking with her about what she likes and why. We can help her distinguish performance from identity, reminding her (as Sonia Sotomayor did so brilliantly on Sesame Street) that playing at princess can be fun, but it isn't a career...."

What about the punishment for assault where this guy is hit in the face by a baseball bat wielded by a raped woman in a case where both of them enjoy it? Considerations need to be made for that.

Seriously. Pull the emergency brake, it's time to hop off.

This made me spit out my green tea with laughter. May I borrow this gem for the future? All attributions to thebloodofthematador. :)

Nope, not the same guy, not in Brussels (never been to Belgium, but want to go; have been to Amsterdam (usually for work) over 10 times and always feel amongst my people- tall, big boned and blonde!) And in fact, the guy I lost my virginity to at 22 was so kind and wonderful and I had orgasms from the get-go, but he…

Were we dating the same man? :) I myself am not bipolar (he was and is), but he made me so, at least metaphorically (as not clinically). It wasn't good, even though the sex really was sublime. I miss the sex, but not the emotional roller coaster. No idea if he has changed, but I have (i.e I demand more now). And glad…

Don't feel dumb! Figuring out your body takes time and is total fun if you are patient with yourself. My recommendation... start reading and/or watching female-friendly erotica (I can recommend some if you are interested), invest in a vibrator (simple wand, you don't need the big leagues of a dildo or the Rabbitt or…

For years during my late 20s and early 30s I had an off-on highly sexual, highly emotionally-charged relationship with a man I loved deeply, but never grew to trust due to his myriad commitment issues/bipolar behavior. Our sex was usually spontaneous ("wanna come over and play?/meet me out?"), oftentimes risky (a lot…

Jason Trawick is a significant creep. How could you possibly enter into and maintain a romantic and sexual relationship with someone who is so out of it you need to break up with her through her father and she still doesn't grasp what happened? Just ugh.

I only like one type of green tea- Tazo Zen with lemongrass and spearmint. So I was far from advocating green tea (although I adore it) so much as, cut waaaay down on Coca Cola products, which are scary bad for you from what I read.

Co-signed.

Forget calories, that shit is just straight up chemicals! I used to be the biggest Diet Coke fiend in the world... considered it nectar of the gods. I said if I were forced at gunpoint to choose only one beverage to consume other than water for the rest of my life I could happily teetotal but could never give up my…

So have you watched FNL yet? It's on Netflix streaming, all 5 seasons. :)

Even if he is gay, he can still marry me, right?

And somehow she remains likeable to everyone while Katherine HAI-gel (who notoriously corrected the pronunciation of her last name at the Emmys, I believe) does not. I think I need the rules of this game read to me again. :)

Ugh, it really did not want me to share this image...

What every single one of these politicians makes me want to do....

Agreed that it's not a perfect, linear analogy, but I do believe that men have never experienced not having authority over their own bodies... ever. I can't make them pregnant, alas, in order that they experience certain politicians seeking to mandate that they give birth if they are impregnated when raped or even if…

I was being glib. Also, please note I don't want any of those policies to actually be implemented, I just want to run on them, get them hyped in the media, and see how long it takes for the men of WI and Paul Ryan to get outraged and argue for their own bodily autonomy so I can scream "YA THINK, MOTHERFUCKING…
