I hoped you would say that. My faith in you has been restored, which I know must come as a huge relief.

I left Newman off because he was an automatic choice based on the Esquire cover. And because literally every woman would choose him.

Paul Newman was gorgeous both inside and out. Definitely my first choice. THat man could get ith

Paul Newman was everyone's first choice...right? Like we don't even have to discuss it because it's just common knowledge?

I met him in the early 90's and he was so nice and awesome.

I assumed these are all your second choices because your first was obviously Paul Newman.

Paul Newman.

I am going to have to say no to the Viking skeleton. Because ouch. And no to Humphrey Bogart, because reasons. Can we add John Kennedy Jr? He shouldn't be dead, but sadly is, and he was soooo very pretty.

Duh.

Paul Newman is boneable even from my straight male perspective. Although, I'm disappointed to see Steve McQueen missing from either list as he's my all-time dead guy man crush.

I'd love, love, love to work PT. Of course, I can't afford it.

The note about women wanting to work part time reminds me of those articles around 2010/2011 being published about the high percentage of women choosing to work part time in the Netherlands and being happier for it - http://www.economist.com/blogs/democrac…

I don't know the intricacies of state and federal employment laws, but I imagine that it probably does boil down to the economics of A) complying with regulations for requiring full-time jobs rather than part-time regarding B) benefits, as the cost of providing employee insurance isn't decreased with decreased hours…

I know, and that's fucked up. Somehow I think "it's because it's good for business" is NOT the reason countries that have universal paid maternity leave have it. Fuck our stupid, worthless country.

You'd think that with flex-time and telecommuting being so much more acceptable/common now (aren't they? that's the impression I get from media) that more companies could come up with viable options for this situation. A cousin just had her second kid like six months ago, and economics made "quit job two weeks before…

I have a friend who worked for a company that had an interesting (and successful) approach to maternity leave. They offered their maternity leave package even to the women who did not intend to return to work after having their child. The theory was - if you tell us up front you aren't coming back instead of…

From my experience, longer leave would have given me the time to handle business at home. I could have settled into a more workable routine and coped better with my daughter's sleeping changes. Caring for a new baby is not easy. It's not a vacation. Part of resistance is downplaying the time it takes to heal and the…

It's interesting how she (and he?) choose to frame this. Her reaction wasn't "I would feel more respected by you if you didn't stare at other girls' asses", it was "Well shit, if he feels this way, ALL men must feel this way, so I must do my part to not tempt them away from their wives." No accountability for him at…

Right? Christian evangelicals have more in common with radical Muslims than they'd like to admit.
