Pheobe Gloeckner, a woman whose comic about her own sexual abuse was once confiscated as "child pornography" wrote an amazing, complicated and hard to read book based on her own diaries, expanded and fictionalized, called "Diary of a Teenage Girl."

A fan once told Gloeckner that she wished "Diary of a Teenage Girl"…

Texas should stick to the classics that teach lessons of valor and hetero-normative sexuality. Like the Iliad, where Achilles avenges the death of his lover Patroclus.

It's especially not fair since women continue to make 77 cents for every dollar a man makes for the same job / same work.

Laura's employer sounds like a great place to work.

In other news, it sounds like Brian got a little of Laura to go. Just ... not the part that he wanted. OOPS.

I think I replied to the wrong comment, sorry! Anyway, Blue Apron is a meal delivery service of sorts; they send you only exactly the amount if each ingredient that you need, and a recipe, and you make the meal yourself. No leftovers! And it's super delicious.

Crap, free health care and grocery delivery. Why don't you guys just change the name of the country to Paradise and be done with it? (That last was green from envy.)

I really want to try Grocery Gateway because I love Longo's (HEAVEN) but I have another grocer a minute away from my house, so I can't justify it.

concealing an out of wedlock fetal death? That's a pretty specific crime.

And just because you don't like the hack, doesn't mean it shouldn't be shared. "Salsa fresca" is tasty, and it isn't just limited to tacos or tortilla chips. Think inside the box (grater).

Yeah I already replied to C.A. that it should have said not JUST legumes. All beans are part of the legume family but not all legumes are beans.

Oh I agree - I still hold it as the most disappointing movie ever. I think the only reason it had any success was because of the build up and that after people saw they realized they had been hoodwinked and just didn't want to admit it. That movie just really pisses me off.

Teaching Consent. I found this article really helpful as we have a white man on the way (due in November). Oh, and this one, too.

Oh wow, that makes sense. I didn't catch it at the time because I was around 9 years old when I read the first book, so I didn't consider that. I assumed professional/business partner lol. And I haven't read it in recent years. Nice catch!

Was jacking up his phone bill part of the turn-on?

This is not personal, but it's as good a time as any to bring up how much I hate the "I can't get too upset about this" or "I can't muster that much rage over this" comments on stories about women's personal experiences. As though another woman's experience has to be measured and qualified by your specific…

If you mean a hairy gay man, no.

Worked in the food industry in Vancouver (BC)- it's definitely all prawns. I've been landlocked ever since, so I don't really know what the deal is in my part of the US.

Canadian here, all the bigger ones are referred to as prawns everywhere I've been/lived too. The tiny curly ones get called shrimp (the ones on cheap, commercial pizza.)

So, let me get this straight, Reddit.
