I know, right? It's fucked up on so many levels.

Well, I guess it depends on how much time passed between murders. If it was a fairly short period, he'd be classed as a "spree killer".

Well, no, that's not really true. Men of color are just as likely to be serial killers as white men are; however, white men tend to get all the attention for several reasons:

A) They're white and society's racist. If a person of color kills multiple people, it's not as surprising to some people as if a white guy does…

It's okay, I love them, too. Everyone else seems to be going crazy for pumpkin spice whatever, and I'm like, "I don't care. Call me when it's McRib time." I'm not proud of that, but there it is. ;)

We totally didn't- FAR too exhausted. Just sort of collapsed when we got home (yeah, we went home instead of to a hotel or anything). Took care of it the next morning, though.

I'm an atheist who's had an abortion, and I still really don't get your rage, here. This woman had an experience and is writing about that experience. I don't see anything wrong with this, especially if she's doing it as a healthy means of coping with working through some feelings she's having as the result of…

This was absolutely beautiful, and really captured where I was at when I had my abortion. I was in a stable, long-term relationship with my now husband, and was a mom to a toddler. I knew I wanted another child, but also knew that having one at that time would have meant that it- and my already living child- would…

This is basically me with a pumpkin pie.

My first son was born five weeks early, and I wound up having natural childbirth on the side of the highway (yeah, crazy story). By the time we made it to the hospital, I was feeling pretty good. Took two extra strength Tylenol, had a shower, and was walking around and eating lunch within an hour or so.

My second…

I felt it was relevant, and I appreciated your story and how it gave you insight. I didn't get the feeling at all that you were looking for praise. In fact, I'd go as far to say that I'd hate it if you left and didn't ever come back- personally, I'm always happy to see men commenting at Jez who aren't minimizing our…

There's a pretty big difference, though. Men may say the same thing, but are they trained to say it- for their own safety- even if it's not true? "I'm already in a relationship" is certainly used by people of all genders, but there are definite differences in when it's used and how the other person responds to it. …

It works for me about half the time- which is pathetically low, but still a higher success rate (for me) than "I'm not interested," "No, thank you," or even "Seriously, it's not going to happen."

That's why I said it's most likely to work. Which, sadly, is not to say that it works all the time. It works more often than, say, "Thanks, I'm not interested," for example, due to the fact that a lot of men will somewhat respect the idea of a woman being someone else's "property" more than they're respect her right…

I completely agree. I hate that we're trained to say it- but I hate, even more, that that's the one thing that's most likely to work.

I was going to make the exact same comment! I read "womb" and my brain mentally adds "at" every time. That I'm not the only person who does that makes me feel less weird. :)

I'm not the only one!

I remember watching one of the Transformers movies a few years back, and seeing horrible damage done to Petra and the pyramids in Egypt during one of the never-ending action scenes. I was absolutely horrified!

I mean, those movies are pretty terrible to begin with- but the fact that that's…

When my (now) husband and I decided to get married to celebrate our ten-year anniversary, I actually dreaded changing my relationship status because of the attention I knew it would receive (because I didn't figure out until later how to not make relationship statuses show up on newsfeed). Though I'm generally not a…

Color me shocked.

I tend to think of "vagina" as, like, Quebec. There's Montreal, there's Laval, there's Gatineau, and there's Quebec City. When I talk about Quebec, I might be referring to either the city, or the entire province. Linguistically, I think that most people think of it in a fairly similar way. Though I'm well aware…

My youngest thinks it's pronounced "to china".
