I'm almost jealous of Paula Patton— I can only imagine that if you've been married to Robin Thicke, every single moment for the rest of your life when you look around and don't see Robin Thicke will be a beautiful, beautiful moment.

"devise a type of contraception that's equally good for the body and the environment"

As long as they can get Ming-Na Wen in the movie I will be happy with it.

you mean he looks "oriental"

If you'll recall from your teen years, Mulan...

As long as they keep the "Be A Man" song in, then I'm okay with this.

Reminder to casting: there are literally over a billion of us East Asians. JUST FYI.

Shingle is a reactivation of the zoster virus that causes chickenpox. Basically anyone who has gotten chickenpox can then get Shingles. Viruses are more likely to reactivate when your immune system isn't working at 100% (think of getting cold sores when you're sick or stressed), which is why it is much more common in…

I agree that his female counterparts will always have it worse, but I don't really see him saying anything to invalidate their experience. Being constantly objectified kind of sucks for everyone, no matter what your gender is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also I agree with him about the redheads. Love redheads. All redheads.

And I'm like…

these diaries are always so awesome but make me feel like I'm not a Real Female Adult Human because I wear, like, foundation and chapstick.

Co-sign all of this. This piece (and a good part of the discussion) is laden with the idea that weddings are transactional, and that if a guest doesn't "hold up" his/her end of the transaction, their basically spitting on the invitation. That, to me, is a pretty sad reflection of what weddings are becoming in (parts…

I'm seriously embarrassed on behalf of I Thee Dread. This is...not good. I have a lot to say here and I'm biting my tongue so hard it's bleeding.

Whoa there partner. The wedding is not a party the guests pay to go to by way of gifts or cash.

"specific economics aside, no matter what a couple asks for as a wedding gift, you should shut right the hell up and give it to them."

Absolutely. The HoneyFund should be accepted in lieu of a gift. You shouldn't have to do both. You either spend $50 on a fondue set or $50 so they can go cliff diving in Belize. You don't spend $100 so they get the fondue set and cliff diving in Belize. If they expect that, you need to expect better friends. I get…

This is a bit dramatic (I assume intentionally so...).

Since 1958, one of the biggest changes in "conservatism" has been its attitude towards teen sex. If you look at those states where a 14 year old girl could get married in 1958, they were all states that are now Red states: pretty much the old Confederacy. There the rule was that a girl could get married without their…

That's a tad dramatic probably

I was like "literally who," but this video has quadrupled my confidence. Thank you.

I'm just going to leave this here.
