Ha! Well said. The only way that I can picture hair being a serious issue is if the partner doing the eating is licking at the pubic area indiscriminately and from a distance.

There isn't anything dirty or untidy about untrimmed hair. It may not be your thing, and that's fine, but not everyone shares your opinion. And provided one isn't just licking away indiscriminately and from a distance, the stuff doesn't really get in teeth.

For me at least, the issue isn't with pubic hair but with the ubiquitous expectation that it should be shaven/the strangely common idea that it is unclean for it not to be so. If I lived in a society where shaved was only one of many possible styles, none of which were expected, I would have no beef with brazilians. I…

On myself: yes bush, untrimmed and unshaved. Preference for sexual partners: yes bush, untrimmed and unshaved. Obviously, hypothetical partners's preferences matter more than mine in this regard, since it's their bodies; natural is just a bonus.

And I am now compelled to insert "how are we supposed to be romantically swooned" in as many conversations as possible over the course of the holidays to come.

I'm in Ontario, and I've used "guys" as the vocative form to address a group of people (of whatever gender) for almost 20 years now. It seems fairly common among my peers, but I have heard some older people complain about it. So whatever changed did so a long time ago.

Thanks!

Where is that portrait from/what does it represent?

Our jaws may be twins! I kept mine, and my naturally straight teeth have grown crooked over the course of my twenties.

They are awesome.

I'm one, as are about half of my younger relatives (including a few boys). I never enjoyed the building part at all. The fun was all in the storytelling that came after, and legos tended to fall apart easily when you really got into it; they were a little to small and too delicate to fully carry the story, I guess.…

There is a lot of awesome literature for teens, but I find that it is harder to pick out the ones that they will love. Teenagers often have fairly set tastes, so if your book doesn't fit within those bounds, too bad for everyone involved

Nooooo!

Soft corners, attention to detail, and story-telling oriented, you say?

Awesome comment!

What did you think of the voice work? What kinds of accents did they use for the characters?

I hope that that will be forthcoming.

Meh. People with their faces covered freak me out. Dogs freak me out. People who talk loudly freak me out. People with visible mental illness freak me out. Men out in groups freak me out. Those are my own issues. I don't think that someone's right to participate in public life should be limited to prevent me from…

This decision has nothing to do with citizenship oaths, and everything to do with public posturing. Very few women actually wear the niqab or burqa, and by the time a person is actually taking an oath of citizenship, their identity has been very thoroughly vetted. The swearing itself is purely symbolic: whether we can…
