I love that!

A vacuuming emu! I want one!!

You are probably right. Yao Ming had to come from somewhere.

To be fair (and I say this as a daunting, towering, cheese-fed 5'5" Chinese-American), how many Asian women could you find that are the requisite 5'10" tall? I am on the short side in the U.S., but positively brobdingnagian in China!

That is revolting! I love it! :)

A beautiful heirloom tomato, with all of its lumps and wonky color blotches, with the caption, "Lose weight with this strange fruit!"

That's not a strange fruit! It's a perfectly delicious heirloom tomato!

I don't see them any more, but I used to get an ad for "Number One Tip of a Flat Belly!"

I've met a LOT of people worldwide, thanks—living and working in both the Silicon Valley and in small-town Alaska will do that to ya. I just had some curiosity based on my antecdotal observations.

"You end up with people being held up to extraordinary and highly-specific standards solely on the basis of their race, without any regard to where their individual preferences or talents may lie."

Yeah. I've always looked askance when people point out how "smart" and "hardworking" Asians are supposed to be. I know it's a compliment, but to paint all of one culture with one brush is racism, even if it's positive racism instead of negative.

I'm absolutely positive that mine are out of style somehow—they're probably too long or too short or have the wrong width lapels or the wrong number of buttons. Oh well! :) We'll just call them "vintage".

This article confused me because I'm not clear on what had supposedly replaced skirt suits. Pants suits? No suits? Just the informality of the times?

Good point! I have a sampling bias. Probably true of other immigrant groups as well. I'm a second generation Chinese-American, and hear a lot about how "smart" and "hard-working" we Chinese are supposed to be. But we, too, have a sampling bias with immigration.

Engineers in jeans FTW!

Can someone please explain to me why you hear so many horror stories about treatment of women and girls in India, and yet among the Indian immigrants I know in America, the woman are so kick-ass (completing PhDs in STEM fields, excelling in their careers, etc, etc)? I can't think of a single other culture that has…

Why are we talking about what men like in a discussion about women's health?

I don't think girls who dress provocatively are more at risk for sexual violence. On the contrary, girls who have low self-esteem, and thus carry themselves like victims, are more at risk for sexual violence. Ironically, they often dress very modestly. It's all part of victimhood.

I grew up with a purebred Chihuahua. This was in the days before Paris Hilton made them into an accessory and they started breeding them ever smaller and stupider. Ours was from original Mexican lines and was tough as nails—ten pounds of shiny fur over rippling muscles. She was true to stereotype and barked savagely…

My mom discouraged me from getting a master's degree by the same reasoning as this dude. She said that increasing my earning potential would reduce my pool of potential mates, since—of course—men have to earn more than their partners.
