I can’t shop at Anthropologie for a variety of reasons, but the most important is that I am an anthropologist, and I’m offended that they’ve co-opted my life’s work into a misspelled brand for wealthy women who have the time and money to deliberately make themselves look like they have neither.

Yep, it is working, so her insane shitshow is just going to get worse. Thankfully there are lots of people calling her out, though, so hopefully that helps some.

But, see, it’s not even that she’s pointing out the obvious; she’s pointing out random shit that she MAKES UP out of her scientifically illiterate head. I shit you not, she once wrote that saying “Hitler” and “Satan” to water causes it to form crystals in response to negative thoughts, and that microwaving your food…

So. I was 20 when I got married, husband was 23. We were both virgins. We had been together since I was 15. He was the only boyfriend I had ever had. We had never even made out. The extent of our physical relationship was dry kisses hello and goodbye. Turns out he was trying like mad to be straight, and even though I…

If no one else has suggested it, I recommend the fantastic book “The Unpersuadables” by Will Storr. He tackles Morgellons along with several other topics and discusses why people cannot be dissuaded of their beliefs. Other topics include young earth creationism, homeopathy, and Holocaust denial. One of the best books…

You’d probably enjoy reading the fantastic book “The Unpersuadables” by Will Storr. He tackles Morgellons along with several other topics and discusses why people cannot be dissuaded of their beliefs. Other topics include young earth creationism, homeopathy, and Holocaust denial. One of the best books I’ve read.

“Empowerment marketing is no substitute for clothing worth buying.” This is true of so many marketing campaigns, whatever the product may be. I remember going to a Red Robin for the first time years ago and reading the comment card that came with the check. The first thing they asked was “How fun was your experience…

What’s a Huyandai? Is it a toy version of a Hyundai, or one of those knock-offs that tries to rob the name of the real thing (Freebok sneakers, anyone)? Is it the name of the TPIR model’s soul? Is it the sound said soul made as it shriveled into the abyss?

I tell every female friend that she is cute/beautiful/adorable/hot whatever any time she posts a selfie. I see those comments on so many other women's pictures - sexy, ooh la la, gorge, etc... but I never get those comments on my photos. It must feel good so I do it for my friends. We have to support each other that…

I am terrible at picking people up and thus have never done it successfully. My idea of flirting used to be telling guys that I'm an atheist and challenging them to tell me what they thought about religion/god. Now in my mid-forties, divorced after a marriage that lasted from age 21 to age 22, and victim of several…

Thanks for the replies. Never having worked in the food industry I had no idea about signing no social media agreements et al. I don't think the obfuscation detracts from the stories at all, and in fact, some of the funnier descriptions make the stories even better.

Curious: many of these stories elide the name of the restaurant and instead use generic descriptors like "chain restaurant specializing in seafood." Is there really a good reason to do this? As in, are people afraid that Red Lobster is going to come after them for libel or something?

Thank you for your wonderful, right on response. I wouldn't have been able to articulate it even though I knew there were good reasons why the question, itself, is flawed. Thanks for putting it into words I didn't have.

What in the actual fuck. "Everyone made mistakes that night"?!? Those men did not "make mistakes" - they committed a crime!!! It's not an "oops, my bad" situation when you are sexually assaulting someone! Jesus Christ.

I have curly hair. It's in a pixie now, but when it's long it's a mess of ringlets. It's very fine and tangles easily when it's long, but I. Love. It. Now that it's short it still tries to become ringlets, and I. Still. Love. It. WTF you talking about, Dove?

I cannot read Brandi Glanville's name without thinking about the glans. I just can't. She might as well be named Brandi Part-of-a-penis-ville.

Lots of comments wondering how on earth this woman could not know she was pregnant - or at least suspect something was wrong. I know, it's hard to comprehend! But much also depends on individual backgrounds. My dad was a probation officer, and he once made my sister and me read a case report about a local doctor who…

I took a ride in an abandoned shopping cart in the park next to my apartment in college. I jumped in and my roommate started pushing the cart. It was fun until he got up to full speed and headed for the sidewalk. I told him not to go for the sidewalk but he didn't listen. I held on for dear life but when the front…

Call this a quibble, but I think it's kind of... I don't know; misleading? Odd? To say in parts of the article that this is Claire Huxtable talking. Claire Huxtable is a fictional character. Let's put the onus where it belongs - squarely on Phylicia Rashad, real-life person. Don't make the mistake of conflating the…

You're still up and running at a random Indian reservation in California! :)
