Again, completely agreed. And frankly, women can't expect to achieve equality without letting men also have access to the full spectrum of themselves.

Well, that may be true. My mom was married in a mini-dress she made herself and my dad only removed his ray-bans during the actual ceremony. I could not pull off either of those moves.

Co-signed 1000%. You just labeled my vague discomfort. Thank you.

I am conflicted about this story. One the one hand, I'm not a fan of jewelry on men, but recently I was look at pictures of my parents and their friends from the 70s and they were bad-ass. All of the men were wearing bright colors and some sort of jewelry but their clothes fit and they looked better than a good 85%…

Had any of that happened, you would have found me silently rocking back and forth and sobbing in a corner.

I didn't include this part of the story because it seemed too outlandish to be believed...one reason I noticed the waffle girl is that she looked familiar to me. As it happened, later in the day I had a massage appointment and it turned out that waffle girl was my masseuse and that we had gone to college together.…

I once saw someone eating a belgian waffle on the subway, complete with plate, knife, fork, strawberries and whipped cream.

Sheesh, I'm a woman and I request we all calm down on this topic. SoClassic was clearly just trying to be supportive on the topic of natural beauty—no need for a firestorm.

Bless you. I can still hear her popping gum and painting her nails in the middle of an open plan office.

I had an old boss who used 'penultimate' in the same incorrect way. She was horrific in every way and this takes me back to a very bad place. Please fix. I beg you.
