You can put your work colleagues on a "Work" list and your real friends on a "Real Friends" list and you can set each individual status you post to be visible to just your real friends, or just your work friends, or to everyone. That's what I do. My wider circle of Acquaintances gets the "happy holidays" or "here's…

That's crazy. I don't really see how demanding an FB password and full access to the account is any different than demanding access to a personal e-mail account or the messages on a person's phone. If they choose to make parts of the profile publicly accessible, okay. But if your content's not public and is in fact…

"Another doctor described a horrifying scenario where she was forced to watch a woman bleed to death after her request to intervene in the pregnancy was declined on the grounds that fetal heartbeat was still present."

In fairness, Paris herself said this about the (IIRC) then-34-year-old Zeta Graff: "She is old and should stay home with her child instead of being at night clubs with young people." So by her own ageist yardstick she should be like, retiring from society by now.

For women in the early weeks of pregnancy - the "fuzzy dot" stage - the abortion might well be a medical abortion, i.e. a pill or shot. So it's not invasive at all, it just triggers what is essentially a very heavy period. To give you some context, a 5-week embryo could fit on your thumbnail. At six to seven weeks the…

What's hilarious/sad is that I think there's like two abortion clinics in this entire state.

Incidentally, the same guy who tried to pass that "ban the eating of fetuses" bill has introduced a bill attempting to end Oklahoma's recognition of the U.S. Supreme Court's authority and ban the Court from reviewing Oklahoma laws. He wants Oklahoma to have its own in-state committee to decide if bills are…

Some guy on Gawker seriously just asked if it's really that big of a deal for women to have things inserted in their vaginas, because they put things in there all the time and it's not like it's always sexual.

This is why I like pinup, too, and why I originally got into burlesque (aside from a love of all things bright and sparkly). So much of what's out there with women being "sexy" seems so joyless and contrived. In most of the Maxim-style shots the women appear either brain-dead or snarling. Pinup modeling and burlesque…

Courtney, for the love of God, if you're going to just blatantly let your bra straps show when you're in tube tops and off-the-shoulder dresses, just COMMIT and let your bra straps show. Don't cop out with the clear plastic kind (whose clear plasticness does not render them invisible). Match the bra strap color to…

Co-fucking-signed. I prefer bare for the way that it feels to the touch, because it's more comfortable for me as a very active athlete, and because I like the way it looks. I don't wax because men want it that way, and I'm not going to grow it out because men want it that way. Also, I can assure you that regardless of…

That subset of the Supernatural fandom is fucking insane. In addition to their ardent desire for in-show incest, there's also a disturbingly vocal contingent who INSIST that Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles are in love and carrying on a years-long secret affair in real life, and that if you do not believe this it's…

I don't see how it matters to the question of bodily integrity. If someone needs a kidney, I make a decision about whether or not to donate. If an egg gets fertilized and needs to stay in my uterus for eight-plus months to develop the ability to survive independently, I make a decision about whether or not it stays…

Anti-choicers will always respond to this argument with the fact that the precious baby is innocent and blessed by Jesus, and the pregnant woman is a dirty whore who chose to "open her legs" and "knew what would happen" and "needs to accept the consequences," therefore baby > woman and a woman loses all rights once a…

Yeah, you suck, Oklahoma. Signed, an OKC resident.

I love it too. Plus the fact that it sheds everywhere and then proceeds to kind of pollinate itself around, so even once you get home and take five showers, you will still be finding it in your hair and on your car seats and all around, even in places you swear the glitter never had a chance to go. A friend of mine…

I didn't think men referring to women as "skirts" was a real thing outside of like, old crime novels or stuff written by Frank Miller. Live and learn.

I actually just saw it this weekend; I held up through the whole thing and then cried like a baby when her colleague started reading her The Runaway Bunny. Emma Thompson really was brilliant.

Demi Moore's hair is SO SHINY. I'm fascinated and a little envious.

My best guess is that she thinks that all the sperm come out in the first ejaculation and his stores are then depleted, so that if they have sex again in the same short period of time he'll be shooting blanks. I'm pretty sure I've encountered this misconception before. Yay abstinence-only education!
