Had herpes and didn't tell me until AFTER we'd had sex.

He used half the bottle masturbating, and planned to use the rest to butt-sex you.

My ex-husband.

I read Emma's piece a while back, and while there are aspects of the Juggish life that repel me—STOP TELLING ME TO SHOW YOU MY TITS—all the same, I got the impression that many of these people feel discarded by society and are banding together to find community and belonging. I can both empathize with and respect…

Yes, exactly. I find unexpected hugs from behind supremely annoying. While sex is great and general physical affection is great, DO NOT SUDDENLY COMPROMISE MY ABILITY TO MOVE without even giving me a clue that it's about to happen. It feels controlling (even when it's not meant that way). I really, really like…

Something I've wondered about with the new system: couldn't someone make a pleasant response to a non-grey comment, solely because they wanted the original poster to give them a star? Then once this person had a star, they could begin trolling.

Not necessarily. Professions cease to exist when they are no longer culturally or technologically viable. Alchemy, anyone?

You sound pretty great to me. I hope you find a wonderful woman who appreciates your honesty, fairness, and authenticity.

This is what I look like when I'm in a GOOD mood.

Isn't there already a profession for this? You know, the oldest one?

I've read and heard other interviews with her about this movie, and elsewhere she says more explicitly what I think she may be trying to convey here: she says that because he's older than she is, he had a different perspective on her generation than she does. She says that he saw people her age more generously than…

That's not all he's doing. The parts of his essay where he does that, I have no problem with. The parts of his essay where he talks to women as though they need to be reminded not to be lemmings, that I have a problem with.

What bothers me about the CNN piece isn't the factual information, which I agree some people will find useful, if they are not already medically aware. What bothers me is the condescension. He writes that when women learn the news about Jolie,

I did read the comments, and they seem to assume that women are not invested enough in their own health, or smart enough, to take a significant interest in their own medical decisions. Each and every surgery I've ever had, or important medical test I've undergone, is one that I have researched on my own. I do not…

But Anna! You don't understand! Women are too stupid to make these decisions on their own!

Except his teeth, which are wildly, over-the-top bleached-white. And which stand out ridiculously against that pervasive backdrop of yellow.

I honestly don't understand anybody being grossed out by any aspect of the human body. Yes, some bodies are more attractive than others, and some parts of the body are more bacterially-laden than others (I know I plan to die without ever having licked somebody's asshole). But I can't make any sense of somebody…

Teal vinca!

Not only did Henrietta Lacks not know, but this happens to many of us on a regular basis. If you have surgery, a blood draw, or any other medical procedure that removes some component of your body, there is a reasonable chance that your "discarded" body parts end up being used by medical researchers . . . and all of…
