Also, what if you were adopted and don't know if your biological ancestors were slave-owners, Quakers or what? Or, like so many people in America, one of your ancestors was a slave, and another of your ancestors was a slave owner? Do you pay yourself reparations?

Yeah. That father is really terrible - it is a horrible tragedy.

I . . .actually did not know there were women who did NOT like that. I am too surprised to make any clever comments.

I wonder if the fake email purported to be from a Nigerian prince? "I just need your password, then I will wire you $10MM"

Yeah - or try to get a rich dude's bank password or something.

I work in corporate finance, and I have read a lot of books on management, business development, etc. because they relate to my field. They were all written by men, but I never thought, "well, of COURSE he was able to secure financing for his business - he is rich and has a nanny!" - but that is basically the…

People’s reactions to Lean In are almost more interesting than the book itself. When a male business executive writes a book about his success, no one ever skewers him for failing to write a book that is applicable to every man on the planet.

I will not wear Spanx. I figure if someone does not like the way I look, they can look away.

The whole point of manners is to treat others with respect and dignity.

I am pretty liberal on what I am OK with my kids seeing, but I would feel a little weird walking past that with my grammar-school boys. I am desperately trying to convince them that they have to wear pants in public, and this would just not help me at all.

I feel you. But honestly, those guys would not be worth your time anyway. There are guys out there that think successful women are hot. I have one of them.

Really? I always thought Sean Penn was kinda hot. Plus he seems like he would be very . . energetic. I guess we all have different taste.

I am guessing he was going to volunteer himself to inspect all the lovely little ladies and lads for signs of recent activity. Because he is so, so concerned with (ABOUT!) teenager's naughty bits. In fact, he can think of nothing else!

YES! true.

Most of the kids have a "profile pic" too. I won't let my kid put a picture up. I guess it is a brave new world, but I have read WAY too much science fiction to be comfortable with it ;)

Get this: My 8-year-old is REQUIRED to be on the internet to participate in class discussions on the book they are reading on a social-media type website - yeah, I was shocked too. They post and comment on the posts of others on the book they are reading. I really do not like it. It's this program that only the…

This is SO much better that the "I am sorry if you are sensitive" non-appology. Either really apologize or OWN it. Even if I disagree with the substance, I value sincerity over dissembling.

to "IFIndYourLackOfPantsDisturbing" - best screen name EVER!

Oh wow! I am sorry you were struck by such a series of misfortunes.

Why did the pharmacy not want to provide Plan B? I would love some insight into their thinking.
