I'm going to think about this and get back to you. It's something I'm in three minds about, or something, if I'm honest.

I sweat. A lot. And trust me, if I don't use at least some kind of anti-perspirant, people do NOT want to come near me on a mild day. I like the 'bodily function' and 'nature made me' argument as much as the next person - when it comes to showing my milky-white legs, for example - but in this case it'd make me…

Well, if you're arguing that solely from the point of view that women who are not working stay at home because it fits their wants and needs - ergo, out of choice - you're missing the women who need to be working for the money, but are not and are consequently struggling. You're also missing the women who chose to…

But this is not the CC companies' rule. It's the Fed's rule. The companies were and are perfectly happy to let the non-working spouse sign for a creditcard on their own.

It makes sense FOR COLLEGE KIDS. Who are single. To protect them. Not to limit people in a household who can manage (=pay) fine within their own family unit.

Is it? Because as I see it, it's more about necessity than wants. From a simple roof over the head, to independence. I don't see that as very radical at all.

Now THAT's something I'd wanna see.

Agreed x100. Helmets have benefits when riding with higher speeds and in one-sided accidents. But there are also downsides, like reduced visibility.

Make sure your saddle is at the appropriate height. If it's high enough, the front of your skirt will hide anything underneath.

There's a shitload of things you can call a little girl besides 'pretty'. Depending on the circumstances, she can be so...smart! grown-up! strong! flexible! good! hungry! impossible! et cetera ad nauseam.

@Apricot_Poodle: Mmm. Sounds awesome.

@Donovanesque: By the way, I'm honestly doubting whether the old adagium of straight women writing/reading m/m still holds up when examined more closely, especially when it comes to slash (ie, fandom m/m). But that's digressing ;).

@rengreen: I think that, aside from the self-published, there's a lot of e-book only going on in that genre. They don't tend to shell out on covers, I noticed.

@Lobstersurprise: Not exactly romance, in the traditional sense. Though... wow.

@saxylady: Ha! Ditto to the 'slash' search on Google. Expect his head to go 'splodey. The community's been there forever. Not really that quiet anymore, but still either flying under the radar or, when detected, the object of incredulous fascination by mainstream media that refuses to see it's the same damn thing.

I'm excessively amused by your holding up "the Greece of back then" as the example of real democracy. I suppose it's because of that whole 'direct democracy' thing, but considering the vast majority of the population didn't have the vote at all - women, descendants of non-citizens - that didn't count for much.

It's interesting and telling that Wallace first tries to equal what Stewart is doing to what Fox is doing, and then goes on to deride Comedy Central as something that's silly and lightweight and whatever else that Pamela Anderson skit was supposed to show.

@Koekjes: Thanks. You're right - that's still a lot less victims than a regular flu outbreak.

@brotherjo: His name is Coochy?

If you're not sure, put yourself in someone's shoes when it's happening. As what he will do depends entirely on what he will do, there's no script.
