I loved their stuff as a teen. Once I got a part time job I ordered stuff from their catalog only to find out that it looked great on the waifish models, but not so cute on my boobs & belly-having self. Poo.

I appreciate this article and appreciate my parents, my dad especially, for being that "if she doesn't want to deal with you, leave her the fuck alone" person. But still, as an adult woman who was called a bitch more than she cared for, I "soften" my resolve and found myself seriously bending my emotional radar in an…

Not to hijack this article (which is great btw), but can we talk about mouth kissers for a moment? Why do grown adults who are not direct family members feel the need to kiss me on the lips? We have an adult family friend who gives me a giant smack (and sometimes lingers) every time we see him at parties/holidays,…

I come from an ethnic family, with lots of enforced touching, lots of enforced kissing of older people, lots of enforced kisses, and that's why I didn't object when my neighbor, and, on a separate occasion, his son,put their hands all over my private areas before I was even five. All because I was taught I'm supposed…

Her daughter isn't avoiding touch. Her daughter is touching on her terms. That sounds healthy to me.

But will you use punctuation?

I think it's okay to have a preference for dicks that are not small and further I don't really give a rat's what your penis thinks about small boobs or the fact that this was posted on Jez and there is no counterpart about gaping vaginas. Women are told by everyone and their mother both directly and indirectly that…

Life lessons for everyone on earth.

I am beyond sick and tired of hearing SAHMs complain about their long resume of "chef, maid, chauffeur and bookkeeper all rolled into one!"

I have enjoyed working for men. I have enjoyed working for women.

It's more depressing that you never saw the "resting bitch face" meme.

Party pooper.

I just think that the fact we live in a time when two female showrunners are even in a place to be butting heads about this topic as it pertains to their wildly successful tv shows, is a pretty cool thing.

I wrote a letter to the premier once when I was in 16 about a particularly high-profile homelessness issue in my city and used all sorts of fancy words like "Keynesian economic theory". I got a personalized letter response from him addressing each of my points, a meeting with my MLA (our local representative), and an…

It would have been much better if she'd kept her mouth shut and let karma redesign the catalog. — Satya Nadella

Yeah, it could sound like that if you ignore the fact that I had just mentioned my precipitous labour in the preceding sentence. Or if you don't know what precipitous labour is. It's fast. And I have so much Braxton hicks that the first time it took me a good third of my dilating hour to realize I was in labour.…

How on earth does my comment suggest that in any way??? My first birth was intended to be a natural hospital birth with a midwife. We had to use the vacuum at the last minute to avoid a section. I have complicated deliveries because of a uterine problem and my first daughter had IUGR and was getting no oxygen during…

I had an epidural and formula fed my kids. BOOM.

My birthing plan? Whatever gets the kid out of my damn body.

My experience with my second was exactly the same. She was breech, my first labour had been precipitous and that freaked me out. I didn't want to be birthing a breech baby at home alone with my 2 year old. So I chose the c-section. The anticipation was wonderful - like all the Christmas Eve's in existence rolled up…
