Agreed. The answer was totally predictable. Do people even write in for real advice? I think this person just wanted reassurance from people who had done it and were still functional. (Of course, whether Cat Marnell fits that description is arguable.)

And, rather hilariously, the one about gay hotspots.

I am deeply offended by your turtle-centrism. How dare you.

Ahaha...excellent Wurtzel parody. You hit the Phair Four: obnoxious, funny, mean and true.

The thing about Stanger's types of gender stereotypes is that they're sexist. And I don't mean against women.

Another possibility is that she's been distorting things to suit her clientele for so long that she can't stop. She has bought into her own con.

Cats carry pasteurella in their mouths, and it's toxic for most of us. I know this from having spent a night in the ER after a bad cat bite (overbred cat attacked me in lieu of neighbour's cat when I tried to hold it off). It's not just bunnies.

Sometimes very tall men pee sitting down so they don't splash everywhere. It's actually kind of sweet and considerate.

Are you an anthropologist? Why are you watching Pot Psychology?

The bit you elided from that Ben Affleck quote was the sentence where he said something like, "my wife also prefers working." They posted the full quote on Gawker. But nice try.

Boo on Canada (my home) for the Wes Bentley thing. We need to distinguish between people who were once arrested for possession, and those who have a record of intent to sell. Bentley was an addict, but he worked hard to recover and get his life back. I don't see how he or any other recovered addict is a threat to…

I dig the gauntlets.

I am not sure how "inclusive" they are being with the older woman. Putting her right at the end makes her seem a bit like a punchline.

At this point last year, here in Montreal, I stopped a bunch of white university students who were cavorting down the street in headdresses and warpaint to ask what they were doing. "Iniations," they told me. "The theme is 'tribes'."

I think it's better to err on the side of being too generous than too severe. Unfortunately, the civilized responses often get drowned out by a bunch of exchanged tirades. I have been guilty of participating in this - it's hard not to have a purely emotional response sometimes.

I'm a little concerned that Jessica Simpson's baby might be underweight. I hear she's given up breastmilk.

He grabbed her by the forearm, and held on to it until she punched him. Have you ever been forcefully grabbed by the forearm by an individual built larger and heavier than you? I have, both as a child and an adult, and I can tell you with confidence that it can be bruising and is always threatening. Anyone who…

Even if this has been true for you, what are you going to do about it? It doesn't change the fact that there are many men of any race, culture, nationality, whatever, out there who are decent, kind human beings. To start making generalizations is not going to stop bad behaviour among assholes, but it will harm the…

I know, it annoys me that they say half her face is black, and half is calico.

Um, Moss was ostensibly fired for other reasons.
