I was planning on getting an IUD until my lady doc told me about Nexplanon. It's a tiny thing — smaller than a matchstick — and it goes under the skin on your inner bicep. Lasts for three years with the same effectiveness as an IUD! I definitely suggest it to any and all ladies with a) small uteruses (that is…

ME TOO! My parents took away my AOL access (lol) in 5th grade because my curious/naive 11-year old self was a bit too friendly with chat room strangers

A really good response someone posted upthread from this Washington Post article:

100% agreed. Most of the anti-vax moms I know are solidly upper middle class SAHPs with too much internet searching time on their hands and an incredibly inflated sense of the importance of their intuition and "spirituality" when it comes to medical decisions.

Oh, no. Please don't let that be true. He is just one of the grossest humans I can think of.

I think it has something to do with how symmetrical her features are — like, mirror image symmetry.

I write for a living. I have received many compliments on my derriere, including from the English man I once hooked up with who said I had a "crackin' arse." Your move, Tom Carson.

Sounds like you found yourself a keeper! My boyfriend grew up in a traditional Mexican-American family where the women rarely (if ever) leave the kitchen during family gatherings — we had a few bumps in our relationship at first, because he had just never seen a family in which the woman wasn't responsible for 100% of…

I've also been told that the "stats" MRAs reference when talking about custody battles also include situations in which the father voluntarily agrees to give the mother full custody (which obviously makes it look like women are always favored, when, honestly, sometimes the dudes just don't want custody at all)

Um. Sure. Bye!

Did you catch any news coverage of the Mexico fans who shut down entire streets (and part of the 5 freeway) in LA with their celebrating on Monday? It was insane, and that was just one game. I know there have been riots for basketball/hockey around here, too, but usually only if they actually win the championship.

The Gary Oldman defense.

I've often thought about how strange it's going to be for this young generation of kids who have never existed without the internet. If somebody's trendily-named child Kai is applying for a job in 21 years, will potential employers be finding pictures from his 2nd birthday that are still on his mom's Facebook? I mean,…

And fuckwits like George Will will tell them that they're "members of a privileged group." :(

He's probably a white dude trolling

These are such important issues! ESPECIALLY potential abuse and getting honest answers from kids — doctors/hospitals could waste valuable time on a misdiagnosis if a kid is too embarrassed to tell them what's actually going on while helicopter mom is hovering over them

That "I tried being nice and she still didn't want to date me" line of reasoning is SO interesting to me for this reason: when a guy doesn't want to date a woman, she is socialized to look inward. "He prefers blondes," "Maybe I'm not outgoing enough for him—" basic message: he's just not that into me. When a woman…

Do you really think that's true? Sounds like the "majority of men" lead some pretty sad, unfulfilling lives, then.

The margin for error when you're trying to smile juuuuust enough seems pretty thin :(

Aaah yes, the Navajo panties incident. That was gross.
