The actress who plays a young Hillary needs to project intelligence, drive, assertiveness, and a take-no-bullshit-feminism, and she needs to do it effortlessly. I don't see any of the actresses named above doing that; they're all attractive and interesting, and I'm happy to see them in movies, but they tend to…

They are a bit soggy when thawed, and they will spatter a bit when sauteed (because their cell structure has been compromised by freezing, which releases their moisture), but once they're sauteed there's not too much difference between their texture and never-frozen-sauteed onions.

Chop up all of the ones you are afraid will go bad before you can get to them, and then put roughly cup-sized portions in small plastic baggies. Then put the onion-filled mini-bags in a larger freezer bag and freeze. At some point in the future, when you want to saute onions for a soup or pasta, but haven't been to…

My cat used to do that (the sideways puffy-body thing, not the falling part) when she was freaked out by something. It's a defense mechanism meant to terrorize the antagonist by making the cat look much larger, hairier, and fiercer than it actually is.

I'd say: 1. keep deliberating with your fiancee about what works for the two of you; 2. hold doors open for all people, and let women hold doors open for you when appropriate*; 3. stay away from people who jump to conclusions and yell at you when you are doing your best to be a sensitive and polite person.

Exactly. I don't see the point in expressing outrage over anything the man says. He drugged an underage girl so he could have sex with her without having to bother about pesky consent issues. Were you expecting him to be respectful toward females?

Thanks for bringing this to my attention! It sounds great and I'll see if my library has it.

But no so-called "statistics" on how men's number of sex partners correlates with their lifelong lasting relationship chances.

I've seen other people suggest that.

This is actually a pretty good look for her, IMO. She has had a tendency recently to show so much flesh that it just looks off. This dress is sexy but still reasonable, and she looks fantastic in it.

I have read Ayn Rand. I dismiss her work because she writes empty-headed blockbusters that show no understanding of human emotion, characters, or other nuances.

Your gif made me laugh right out loud at the computer.

I knew a guy who told me that sex with his wife during her period was "luscious." EW. EW. EW. I have nothing against sex, nothing against periods, and nothing against putting the two together (under the right circumstances). But hearing the word "luscious" from someone I knew still has me squicked out a decade…

You are so right—that's the main lesson I learned from my experience with The Herpes Man: I ain't doing you until we've both gotten tested. I had always been clean and been with people I had excellent reason to know were clean before the herpes dude, so it had never occurred to me to do the mutual testing thing. Bad…

Jesus, what an asshole.

It's apparently harder to get herpes from a woman, easier to get it from a man. It has to do with who's causing friction and which partner has more delicate/vulnerable mucous membranes. Not that your experience wasn't awful, but perhaps these facts will make you feel more secure about future encounters.

I dated a guy who insisted that my bras were padded because most of them have that very thin lining that prevents nipple-show through—you know, tee-shirt bras.

She could write in a Michael Crichton sort of way, sure. But that's not any kind of writing worth reading. Roth, on the other hand, can write in a literary way. But he is a sexist asshole who thinks nobody besides himself is a worthwhile human being.

I hate that what I'm about to say sounds so Republican/abstinence-only, but this is something people don't understand about condoms (which we used): they don't completely protect you from herpes (because there are non-covered areas that bump together).

HORRIFYING. Yours trumps mine, no contest. Herpes, had I caught it (thank God I didn't), would be an annoyance only. HIV . . . well, death is kind of a bummer.
