You are working on the assumption that women read more fiction than men, which is true. But those statistics are about the usage of online platforms (in that case platforms such as audible) and in those men in their early 20s are the majority and they are offered/click on thrillers that are based on sexual violence…

Interesting to know, thanks! Is there any specific reason they start with the year besides the filing? (That's true, I should do that with my stuff too)

Really though? Why then do I know (not personally of course) so many somewhat "washed up" famous people whose careers have seen better days who seem to be financially extremely well off?

They had no idea what a tampon is?? Where they children? I suppose a seven year old wouldn't know that.

Yes, we rarely stop to think that those nice "cultured" ceremonies actually fueled the slave trade and expoitation. They still do.

Stanley Park it was. I lost my heart to Vancouver there when I had lush trees behind me in a beautiful huge public park, the sea wall with the beautiful ocean, a skyline of the city AND mountains in the back in front of me (a spectacular view) and walked past a natural sea water swimming pool free of charge that was…

No, I didn't. I got a bunch of "because" and people who didn't get the question.

Speak for yourself. Watching sex scenes when I'm watching tv with my father is the worst. No such luck.

It doesn't matter that it was just the question why.

No, apparently not. Although I am annoyed a tiny bit because, really, people?

Well, my simple question why that custim was the way it is was answered with non-answer about how that was the way it is. Since that isn't the way it is for a whole lot of other people who don't see that as a logical explanation...

Women also don't do it because we have been instructed from toddlerhood on that it is not "ladylike" and that we should not take up that much space in the world.

Exactly. You have to convert. It doesn't come naturally. Language does. But numbers seem to put a stop in brain processes if they operate with different systems since culture is constructed on linguistic concepts. There are some fascinating studies about linguistic concepts of time.

I prefer cups. I think it's much easier and practical.

I was always getting out at the front door :) I know I wasn't supposed to but I was the only one at my stop.

Yes. But I wasn't taking that bus.

Hahaha...that's funny.

Except that the UK then adopted the other system.

That's hilarious that you had that kind of miscommunication as a British person!

But I suppose since he has a penis he concluded that his argument was superior and made total sense!
