When I was 20, all the people holding casual discourse about their sex lives were men. Now that I'm not 20, no one talks about their sex lives because it's not a public topic. I've swapped stories with two women, both very close friends of mine and generally they're less "here's a detailed account of transpired…

I believe some men are too scared to ask women these questions because they know, deep down in the hairy masculine vault of their very being, that these are some profoundly stupid questions. They fear the women will look at them with a withering stare, sneer slightly and then tell their friends, "hey, you really need…

step 1: write clichés on strips of paper

It is entirely the wrong atmosphere at both Warner and DC for this project to ever happen. Better luck making your own new heroine.

Your friend is wrong. This one is pretty easy to refute, you can just look up her creation. Where it gets murky is that William Moulton Marston did have an unusual relationship where he and his wife also lived with his grad student, Olive and she was an active part of their relationship and family. She also wore…

I feel like this is some weird callback both to Russian war imagery and Alexis Carrington. Granted the red and white layout coupled with the star help push that. Yay typography? She's like a glamorous KGB agent on an 80s Siberian soap opera.

On the one hand: yay they're including many skin tones

"No, no, you don't understand, it was a joke!" If people aren't going to learn how to not be assholes can they at least take classes to learn how to be funny? Even if it's a joke: your joke failed, it was not funny and no one could tell it was a "joke." You are terrible at both civility and humor.

Pfft. Please. Eartha Kitt.

Names were important. My grandfather's parents were refugees from Russia to disputed-Poland-German-border, where my grandfather was born. Though my great grandparents were of German decent and had German names, they gave my grandfather's sister a Russian name (born in Russia) to try to make life easier on her. They…

Depends on your office. My friend's office downtown keeps a fully stocked Mad Men cabinet with fancy bitters and a giant ice chest. Oh to be an animator...

I don't mind having one or two drinks during a work lunch occasionally, but the idea of having a drunken party? With a beer truck? If you can be sent to some not-cool-enough wasteland during lunch because you "did't wear the clothing right," imagine the pressure to "party right." And then having to go work more.

Is it normal to be required to wear brand clothing at the corporate offices where the public never sees you? I ask that seriously, I've never known anyone who has worked in the corporate side of a primarily clothing company.

The paternal side of my family is all German and Polish. Grandmother lost several brothers (one of 20 kids!). One was captured and marched to Siberia, never to be heard from again. Neither of my grandparents talked much about the war, though my grandmother would talk about her service when she was conscripted to…

There is absolutely a difference in texture, consistency and content. That's what happens when you mass produce meat to be cheap, extrude it into dense little pucks and freeze it. There's also significantly more opportunities for contamination in that factory ground meat than in the stuff I get from the butcher.

How much apple is actually in your apple fruit snacks? You can sell one apple or cut it up with fillers and sell 20 processed snacks. Then you can afford to sell the snacks for less because you're selling a lot more product.

I never buy ground meat unless it's from my local co-op. I've got a friend who's always buying those 12 packs of frozen, pre-flatted perfectly puck-shaped patties and swears there's no difference. I think he's delusional. I don't eat meat that often so I'm willing to throw in a few extra bucks to get a really…

If you want to pay $1 for a lb of meat, then yeah, you're going to get a lot of filler. Companies are going to scrape every last ounce of profit out of a carcass and they already know if you're paying $1 for 12 nuggets, you're not picky.

Sorry, didn't hear you, had the kettle on.

Yes and Batman also gets to build an international network of Batmen along with being a campy buffoon, and Iron Man gets to be a drunk loser, Captain America is also about culture shock and Spider-Man spent a lot of time just outright quitting and having no responsibility.
