Yup. I can’t feel any difference when I squirt and didn’t even know it happened the first time until my partner said, “holy shit, you’re a squirter!” My partners have historically enjoyed it way more than I have since for me it basically just feels like a normal, pretty good orgasm. I’ve never encountered a woman who…

Hair dye help please! I have flaming ginger hair that I’m planning to dye purple for burning man, but I don’t want to bleach it because my real hair is so darn puuurdy. I did a test strip and it came out pretty dark, and I’m a little worried it won’t look great without bleach. I’m going to use Manic Panic and would…

Pretty sure the Aurora shooter came in through the emergency exit. Checking purses isn’t going to stop someone with a semi automatic weapon. This is as stupid as making people take their shoes off in airports and is clearly aimed more at giving people peace of mind than at actually preventing murder.

I was raped during my time at a different prep school and didn’t know enough to identify it as rape until years later. The sex ed I had gotten was so lacking that I literally didn’t even know what constituted rape. It doesn’t excuse what my rapist did, but I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t have identified it as rape either.

They’re supposed to be under strict supervision, but there’s only so much that can be done. The teachers who live in the dorms have other commitments like teaching and coaching and the dorms are frequently left unsupervised throughout the day. Everyone knows how to break coed and everyone knows the spots around campus…

It’s because people love being cynical and it’s a super easy stat to remember and throw around. Plus it makes everyone feel better about themselves—if you’re still married you’re beating the odds, and if you’re divorced it’s no big deal because the odds were against you anyway.

I agree on the entitlement issue and the fact that weddings aren’t the most important day of anyone’s life (pretty sure that conception, birth, meeting your partner, having children, etc., rank higher than a symbolic commitment ceremony). BUT, the 50 % stat is total bunk and most people actually do only have one…

Feathers in general are strongly discouraged at Burning Man. Whoever was in charge of this either doesn’t know what they’re doing, or is intentionally catering to idiot burners.

“Stir fry,” which really just means whatever sad veggies I have in my fridge chopped up, cooked, and seasoned with some cumin, maybe over some quinoa if I’m feeling really ambitious.

No, but adolescent brains lack the maturity to fully understand the consequences of behaviors, and these girls also evidently couldn’t fully differentiate fantasy and reality given that they believed they were carrying out the murder for a mythical being. There’s a reason children aren’t allowed to do things like…

Yes, because all the details of this case scream adult level cognitive processes/judgement.

Nah actual science confirms this. The idea that women are the ones who fall hard and fast and beg men to stay is a total myth. Men have been shown to fall in love much faster and stay in love long after the woman has fallen out of love. Women are usually the ones to end relationships.

I have that same one, and her postcards that I like to color and mail to people. Even the postcards take me a couple hours each! They’re all so pretttyyy though, I just couldn’t resist.

I lucked out too and got along well with all the dads I worked for. I can’t imagine how awful it would be to work for a skeeze ball who’s always making passes or blatantly checking you out or something. Sometimes I’d stay late and hang out to chat with the moms or both parents together, but I always felt like it would…

Oh yeah I didn’t mean to say that women are less upset if a man cheats with a less attractive woman, but rather that women don’t get jealous/worried that their husband will cheat with someone he knows who’s less attractive. I’m not actually sure which is more upsetting—being cheated on with a less attractive or more…

Ew, that wins the award for creepiest pick up line. I had forgotten about a dad I didn’t really work for—the parents weren’t together and he just dropped the kid off a few mornings a week. He once said something along the lines of “I bet you’ve been very naughty too.” VOM.

Yeah I hate the phrasing here, but it’s actually pretty common for men to “cheat down,” meaning they go for a less attractive, less successful woman. Women generally do the opposite when they cheat. I think women oftem times consider themselves in the clear so long as the woman their husband is spending time with is…

Any other nannies always painfully aware of the “hot nanny” stereotype and the unspoken awkward dynamic with dads that comes with that? None of the dads I ever worked for were even remotely creepy, but I still always felt like I had to be extra careful and avoid being too friendly.

Hah I have a black friend who’s sorta sheltered and a bit younger than I am who saw an artsy photo I modeled in for a photographer friend in which I was topless, and she was absolutely bewildered by my super pink nipples (uber ginger, so everything about me is pale), saying something along the lines of “I can’t even…

That alias is amazing.
