Glad you’re with us! Being able to revise an assumption based on new information is an unfortunately rare skill these days. In that spirit, I highly encourage you to read this:

That’s a good husband right there. That sense of humor is worth at least 3 pygmy goats.

I would be inclined to agree with you, but that’s you & me inferring something that isn’t on these cards or in their post. The two things that make me feel its really #allaboutthemen are (1) the post is written from the male perspective talking about women (“them”), which means the voice saying “generalizing men isn’t…

Sansa can absolutely go to Winterfell and not be raped. The writers are in complete control of Ramsay and the unfolding events at Winterfell. They control both the character development and the pace. So there were two viable options:

So what you’re saying is that Richard Gere has been offered 10 starring roles since he turned 40, and Maggie Gyllenhaal can’t even get a part as a love interest at 37?

I once thought as you do. Then a wedding planner told me the bouquet is really to give you something to do with your hands while you’re walking down the aisle so you don’t make a fool of yourself. Then I tried to imagine myself walking down the aisle with everyone watching and not knowing what to do with my hands.

WHY DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE STARS?

I’d much prefer Jezebel save its $10k bounties for quests like this. (Instead of unmentionable stupid things they have tried to bounty in the past.)

*why must it be an either/or, tho? Manufacturers, just make everything.

I’m just gonna straight-up complain for a minute. Spoilers.

God, I wish I could say something that would just magically rewire your brain into a self-love machine and pump out self-love hormones every minute of every day.

Startups can be risky too. I just googled “percentage startup bankrupt” and the results were not encouraging—something like 90% failed within 4 years. You should look into the company and the industry carefully, and compare your notes against what you can find out from the Internet. Some stuff to consider:

As Zabella said, if you feel you have no filter with him, then let him know how you felt receiving those texts. Keep it brief, but let him know that (a) while sometimes people say stupid things while they’re drunk, his texts made you deeply uncomfortable because being drunk isn’t an excuse for some things, and this is…

I don’t drink and I haven’t had sex yet. The former is forever, the latter has a big YET because it’s definitely something I’d like to do, but only with the right guy, and I haven’t met any of them yet. I’ve stopped telling people both of these things; I stopped years ago. Not because I was ashamed, but because it’s…

At least he didn’t call her “the female”.

It is not possible for a sext to be grimmer than that. Not possible. You win/lose.

“Expanding Leadership Opportunities for Buddhist Women—Which Way Forward?”

Yep, my first thought was that if I ever became pregnant and knew I wanted to abort, I wouldn’t even try in this country. I would book myself a nice 2-week vacation, get the procedure done somewhere else, and look into real estate, because I would never want to come back.

Right now the “fetus feels pain” idea is more or less scientific speculation, and that’s the angle pro-choicers take when arguing against using it as a benchmark. If you try to offer pain relief for the fetus, you’re basically legitimizing a bunk argument.

Requiring people to report crimes committed against them is...just...it’s so the opposite of non-intrusive government I don’t know where to begin. You can’t legitimately believe in small government and support that kind of mandate unless you also honestly believe that young women are fundamentally incapable of making…
