Thank you. 

For like 90000000000 reasons.  

I’m a female introvert and so I volunteer, join activities that are fun for me and also result in developing communities and friendship (and sometimes dates!). The very few times I’ve gone out with men who have asked me out on the street it has been a complete disaster, becuase we have nothing in common and they have…

I think that’s part of it, but there are some twisted kinds of self-esteem built from the idea that some other kind of person is below you (women, people of color, gay people, etc.).  And unfortunately, if that’s the case, any movement towards equality suddenly becomes threatening.  Like:  who am I if I’m not better…

Totally agree.  I wish they had this sort of program when I was a girl scout. 

I have always thought that a purposeful heroin overdose would be the way to go. I’m not sure how cost-effective it is compared to coke, but I figure it doesn’t hurt to splurge a little on the really important things. If civilization collapses this is my go to move. I have no desire to live in a post-apocalyptic…

Ugh.  Can relate.

I have far more trouble with this than I did with Arya boning. It feels wrong, like being attracted to my nephew or something (I do not actually have a nephew).

Same!  I highly recommend going to Nordstroms or even a private bra store, gettting fitted in the store and buying one or two expensive bras, saving the style numbers and buying a gazillion more new ones for 1/3 the price on Ebay.   It is it the one tip I share try to share with the busty people in my life beacuse…

Yes!!!! Also, inevitably, a sexy smores outfit.

I had assumed that the theme was camp as in summer camp. And I am disappointed to learn that it’s not.

I don’t see how it could happen (yet) but I think she’s the one.  Cearly, she’s the only one who has the actual political and administrative skills to be a great queen.  She’d also be a great hand, but why should she be stuck advising an idiot?  

Can help you explain why?

Me too!  I just want to drink tea in parlors and make cutting remarks :)

Not to mention that Oprah would have brought an incredible audience watching just to see her.  I mean, how many people under 60 watch 60 minutes now?   It was the sort of thing I would watch with my parents in the 80s but haven’t seen since.  

Also sending love, sleepyrainbows.   

Yeah, I probably went too far with my earlier statement.  I went to a girls’ camp and a women’s college and both were pretty edenic compared to my co-ed middle and high school.  But one point I would make is that your complaints: being picked on for looks/clothes/lack of boyfriend are all things that matter in a…

In my experience, mean girl behavior really only happens when girls/women don’t have any other outlets to exercise power and ambition.  

Very different world but I am a long-time horseback rider. My old trainer was incredibly talented and a wonderful teacher, but she told me once that she had given up teaching adult men. She said they would never listen to directions, and because of the nature of the sport, it was just too dangerous. She teach some…

I assume it is like a colorful bird showing off his feathers in hopes he will impress a potential mate.
