She's going to be completely broke if she walks around the corner and stumbles into Spencer's.

Because I've been talking about it for, literally, years, and I'm tired of the topic. I'm not required to discuss it just because someone else is too uninformed — or too laissez-faire to give an actual damn because s/he never had to care about the subject's ramifications and repercussions — to have a clue.

Basically, because this woman is bringing in weird and gross variables (sexual activity of women) into analyzing relationships, she can't say "this is the only variable that matters!" If she's going to get gross and weird and sexist, she's going to have to consider other gross and weird variables in there too. Like…

Naw, I'm saying that, of course, she can get married to a black dude because she has something that is desirable—she's a white person and all the societal goodies that come with that. Perhaps her whiteness is more valuable than premarital sex. Black dudes marry interracially more than black women and I'm guessing it's…

Yeah, there is that.

Living deep in the bible-belt and being a 30-something, vagina-having, marriage-free, childless, world traveling, home owning, sex liking woman with no plans to change any of those things, I get the "why buy the cow" comment quite often.

Ooh, I hope there will be a follow-up parenting guide - something along the lines of Fuck Everybody Else's Children: How to Get the Best for Your Special Snowflake, Regardless of the Cost to Society.

Sorry, I just meant that if we are going to talk about the economics of sex and marriage, perhaps she would like to talk about the "economics" of interracial dating and marriage? I mean, she's a lady with white skin which is viewed as desirable in our culture. I don't even know how you talk about guys having a higher…

It can be a companion piece to my book How Many BJs Does It Take to Change a Light Bulb?

I think the music for the programs should be assigned at random on the day of the competition. Someone gets Philip Glass, someone else gets Gregorian chants, another gets dueling banjos, and some poor bastard winds up with 4'33.

She's stealing mine and Monsieur's book idea—Everything is a Competition and Sex is a Commodity: LaComtesse and Monsieur's Guide to Healthy Relationships

I dreamed a dream of skating pride

I know a couple that run and also volunteer at marathons. This happens enough that the husband has a go-to plan for when a runner poops — you grab all the bottles of water and throwaway towels/shirts/whatever you can find, run alongside the person (if s/he doesn't want to stop) and douse them with water and wipe at…

I grew up in the South, and now I work in the Northeast. God, at least in the South they'll say it to your face.

You're absolutely right. Florida, and "the South" are examples of where the deep seeded structural racism that continues in the present are in our faces, public and open for all to see. Places where the structural racism is not as transparent are worse, because there is no outcry, no outrage, nothing. Where it is…

i just moved from new york city after having lived there for 12 years (brooklyn, specifically), and there was a case a minute of some black kid getting unlawfully searched or shot unarmed or family member/friends/bystanders (also black) being caught up in the police violence and being killed. the difference is that…

Ugh. Gimme a break.

It COULD otherwise be a wacky situation where the kid's mom had hooked up with both guys in the same time frame, and she was never sure which of them was the father, and then the mom died and the kid moved in with both possible dads and had wacky adventures.

I call shenanigans because in this day and age NO ONE properly RSVPs for a kids party. Homophobic rant or no.
