I'm into them IF I'm involved with and into the guy, and we've established that kind of dynamic. But I'm not the slightest bit interested in some stranger's junk.

I don't know...I'd be cool with Scenario 3 sometimes. It would depend on whether there was a precedent for that sort of thing in the relationship, though.

How is a pair of anatomical panties a "mixed message"? These aren't marketed to straight men.

Imagine how many uterus panties you could buy with THAT!

It's not the fact that pink power tools exist that's the problem. It's the idea behind them, that women won't/don't use power tools UNLESS they're offered in pink. It's condescending marketing.

Except that many novels actually DO teach you things, just not in the same way as, say, a textbook.

Sometimes I even wear makeup WHILE reading...!

Eh...I've seen jokes on articles about violence against women here, too. There are always people who make light of terrible situations, no matter what those situations are.

YES. I was going to post this. Or if you insist on Michiganian (which is WRONG), it's spelled like I just spelled it, not like whatever abomination appears up there.

Actually, in this case, it's a reference to another story that was posted recently.

Oh, I do remember that magazine. I think my aunt had a subscription and passed it on to my mother.

I liked it, too! It was simple and pretty.

Yeah, I'm not even a fan and could maybe name one of her songs, but I like her.

I agree. Given how perfect women are supposed to look (especially in something like a pageant) being so open about what judges might call an imperfection is a big step.

The guy you responded to has been trolling Jez for a few days, now, by the way.

I was wondering the same thing. If she's had her entire large intestine removed, it would have to be an ileostomy, but if she's only had a resection, colostomy is possible.

Yup. But because she's a woman, she's obligated to be available sexually, I guess. *eyeroll*

Exactly. A guy who does that kind of thing is not exactly a turn-on for most women.

Agreed. It sounds like he's not really being much of a partner.

I have nothing clever to add, just that I completely agree.

I wish I could star this comment more than once.
