Nope, happens to me too!

I got a cramp just reading that.

I've never lived in India, and I have a question I bet someone here can answer: It says this law affects all but two states. Which two states are excluded, and why? I do know geography, and the basics of what languages are spoken where, etc. but I do not know why two states would be exempt from this.

That's interesting! I started having sex at fourteen, but I lived in Germany for a year when I was 15 and I don't think I ever knew the age of consent was so low. The kids at my school weren't any sluttier than American kids, in fact they were less so. They were just better kids in general. I felt like such a…

Nah, they'll just cut that class and go play cards or something. I wouldn't have minded, anyway. Let the straight girls have an extra hour of BS, would've been my attitude.

I wish there were some king of field guide to same-sex relationships explaining which women not to date! My experience as a bi teenager was that guys were easy to read because I'd grown up watching movies and reading books about straight couples, so had an expectation of what a "good" guy is like. My first few…

South Beach will miss her. Such a sharp lady.

I had a physical reaction when I looked at that, like a fight-or-flight adrenaline response or something. Sooo disturbing.

I used the suppositories when I was a teenager because I could get them at the drugstore, and they worked for me. I never had the side effects ampersands and MichellePar did, but I was always paranoid about the reported low rate of effectiveness. When I went to college I switched to the Pill and that's when I ended up…

Yeah, I really wanna get a look at that shirt.

I got mine on amazon, and it was a "fulfilled by amazon" seller so it was in my mailbox 2 days later. Search "Seki blackhead remover". I just got it like a month ago.

Yeah, all the obnoxious shit she says pretty much gets a pass from me based on the merit of her past work. I think she just trolls a lot now, or at least that's what I choose to believe because then I can laugh at it. And I could never hate her.

A good number of these comments just seem to be promoting the idea that these women are in the Middle East and therefore ignorant and oppressed, and it makes my skin crawl. Your mother may be an example of someone who prefers female healthcare providers for religious reasons, but across the female population as a…

I posted this further up, but this is the Seki blackhead remover and it is $12 on Amazon. Note the spoon-shaped ends.

The problem with the Sephora tool is that the loops are open on one end, so when you push down, the skin just moves to the open side instead of neatly ejecting the blackhead. So you end up pushing harder and hurting yourself. Very frustrating.

Ugh. You just made me realize how lucky I was to grow up in a big city with a fancy sliding-scale clinic for LGBTQ youth, complete with giant popcorn bowls full of free flavored condoms and dental dams on every flat surface. I can't imagine how degrading and rage-inducing it must be for queer teenage girls to have to…

Radiologists read mammograms, they don't perform them. That is way below their pay grade. Other than that, I think you mean well, but it's kind of condescending. These are grown women. Having another stranger present to witness you being touched by a man isn't going to make you feel any better about being touched by a…

You are entitled to hire whatever attorney you want. It is not "in poor taste" to hire one lawyer over another. You are in fact entitled to hire whatever fill-in-the-blank you want, because you are the one paying for the service. If you are uncomfortable asking for what you want when hiring a doctor/lawyer/mammography…

Why does it matter why they feel uncomfortable? It's not strange for a woman - anywhere! - to prefer to receive health care from other women. It's not Evil Muslim Oppression™ making them feel this way for some esoteric reason Westerners will never understand.

The UAE is not as conservative as Saudi Arabia or Egypt. Some public places will expect more modesty, but you can more or less wear what you want. Of course you will see religious Muslim women wearing traditional modest attire and head covering, but there are also women who are dressed like they just got done dancing…
