Uh, not really. I can hate the US for its war in Iraq, but still think Americans are pretty peachy keen people as a whole. Believing that the state of Israel is acting barbarously does not mean that I have prejudice against people of Jewish culture, religion or heritage. And I am really sick of people who disagree…

Hey, who hasn't slut walked past a man she dug, in varying types of dress to see what works? :) (Only me? I should stop saying this shit aloud ;) To my mind, she's only a weirdo in the sense she doesn't completely own her own libido and wants- which puts her unfortunately in the camp of so many women, especially those…

"We saw him one day. A 6'5", saffron haired, tatted biker sporting as many rings as Liberace, but worn with the masculinity of McQueen (Steve, that is). We were immediately Beliebers of Caleb Owens; a man on a one-way ticket from Nashville to L.A., taking a break from his day job to play guitar for hip hop artist…

Wow. Mansplaining, calling women "hysterical," domestic violence apologist: you really hit the MRA trifecta there. Be sure to cash in your ticket at the door for your prize, a big bag of "Fuck Off and Die."

Oh, I am sure we can just parlay all of it into the birth control and abortion debates. Those sluts that get them (by which I mean ANY prescription from a doctor, choice or act that lets a woman not become a mother against her will) demand our enlightened denial of their rights over their own bodies because WE ARE…

If Retta needs a good girlfriend to help her weather her breakup with some tequila, karaoke and random kissing of hot boys in bars, I would like to volunteer to be her wingman bestie.

Hey, that's more time than rapists of LIVE women get, so ladies all we have to do to get justice when our bodies are violated is to be dead when men rape us. Victory!

Precisely. I would never claim that all women find the decision easy.... but simply that the "it was easy" crowd is rarely if ever from in public discourse, nor is that crowd really welcomed into the narrative by cautious, bet-hedging pro-choice politicians. I too believe the only way we stop the erosion of women's…

I had a shitty friend response too. I think because she was adopted she made my decision all about her. It definitely tainted our closeness.

I love your husband too. I need me one of those; all I seem to find these days on dating sites are libertarians and I'd rather marry my vibrator. :)

I truly believe for abortion to remain safe and legal more and more women (like me) who had abortions and did not find the decision conflicting and do not regret them for a second are going to have to stand up and tell our stories. We need to claim our vocal place in the narrative bc right now the predominant…

She is! My last week on vacation I reread almost every one of her books because she writes SO well. Just very real stories, no crazy out of left field issue that breaks them up, just really true to the characters conflict.... Try her out and report back! Can't Get Enough, Her Favorite Rival and Her Kind of Trouble are…

Prolific reader of romance here. One of the best contemporary is Sarah Mayberry. Her Best Worst Mistake is a great place to start. Also, Julie James.

Yes! Courtney Milan is superb!

the Dream series. Or any of the MacGregors. I like her 90s stuff the best....

Lucille Bluth is my spirit animal. To Matt Lauer, I have this to say:

Ooooh, have fun with the trolls. I made the same point a few months ago when Lindy did an article about MRAs and I am STILL getting "fun" responses.

Which pills? My understanding is that Rush thinks pills are kinda awesome and should be consumed in excess and bear NO consequences.

I'll be honest... in my 5 years at L'ville (I am 20 years out and started when they still had an 8th grade) I never saw one. I truly didn't. So I don't know if the campus has changed or I just was oblivious or this is a symptom of increasing diversity (I suspect the last). L'ville was far less diverse in my day, so…

Brava!
