These are the best, I too have to run around Boston’s dreaded brick streets and these stay comfortable. Plus not too high.

That might have been my husband, who was annoyingly blessed with the gift of eternal youth. When we were 19 (me) and 21 (him) our doorman for the summer was shocked to learn we were dating and said “I thought he was your little brother or something, he looks like a teenager!” I don't think it spoke well for either of…

Your username and avatar are both awesome. That's all.

This seems like an important correction for the author to make.

I’ve had 3 IUDs now, and I have to say, the insertion after baby 1 and baby 2 were not that much less painful than the first one . . .

i never said I don’t think that’s what people should do. Of course that is ideal. We aren’t taking about best practices for sex, we are talking about what is and isn’t rape/assault. All I was saying is that saying something hurts is not a clear direction to cease all activity and that as much as many people want to…

Agreed, but I think the word “stop” has a unique power and meaning that I did not get the sense was deployed in the situation described. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t sexual assault just because she didn’t say stop, it just shows that the situation is always more complex than the “yes means yes” and “no means no”…

I think “stop, that hurts” is different from “that hurts” in whether it communicates that you want to stop the encounter or action, or whether it communicates something needs to be tweaked in what someone is doing to make it not hurt, but that they can still go ahead.

Simon?

This must be regional, because when I grew up in the Bay Area in the 80s many of the kids I know (my family included) had moms who kept their last name and kids who had the dad’s last name and it was never once an issue.

See my reply above - this is the silliest argument against hyphenating. No one with a hyphenated name has any more trouble deciding what to name their kids than any other couple with different last names.

In what world do people with hyphenated last names then add another name on or give their children three hyphenated last names? That is just a silly straw man people raise to object to hyphenating names. People with hyphenated last names either keep their name, change their name, or hyphenate one of their names with…

It’s randomly one of my 4-year-old’s favorites. There is no accounting for what kids will like. Although this isn’t our cup of tea (or price range), I would like more restaurants with kids menus that venture beyond the mac and cheese/hot dog/chicken nugget offerings.

Sexual misconduct is the umbrella term that covers all forms of sexual harassment at most schools, including sexual assault. At Yale there is no “sexual assault” you can be found responsible for, you are found responsible for violating the policy on sexual misconduct, regardless of whether what you did was flashing…

It’s in the Notorious RBG book, along with tons of other cool pics. Highly recommend the book.

Probably intentional on the part of the plaintiff. If only potential law students didn’t feel compelled to go to the highest ranking school that took them, this could probably really impact Berkeley’s enrollment rates for next year.

But that book already exists . . . http://www.amazon.com/Notorious-RBG-…

One minority prone to being “lactose” looking out for another. :) but really, why isn't Bernie playing up the historical ties between Jews and blacks?

The cookbook that has a full page recipe for A SINGLE ROAST SWEET POTATO?? After I picked up the book and accidentally flipped to that “recipe” I never looked at the rest because, really? A single sweet potato? Roasted? Not even peeled and diced or anything? But maybe the rest of the book is better?

Oh as a lawyer and former clerk I’m aware. I just wish there was a term for it.
