My five-year-old knows that when people grow up they can have surgery to change from man to woman or woman to man. It’s not a very difficult concept to grasp. I know that sexuality and gender is something that really freaks out a lot of adults and confuses some who were raised with very strong gender binary rules.…

For eating steak how it should be cooked? You’re a well-done eater, aren’t you? My parents are like that. My mom is convinced we’ll “get sick” or “get worms” if steak isn’t well done. That’s not really much of an issue, you know. Ah well, I’ve been telling my mom that for over a decade and it hasn’t sunk in yet!

When I was a teen I wanted a hearse so bad. I wanted it black with purple interior and those purple under-lights. I haven’t been to a Goth club since before I had my 2yr old, but I still think I might do that if the opportunity ever arises.

This is about the most perfect description of the GOP “fiscal conservative” crap, ever.

Yeah, it is hard to understand- and I have had people cheat on me. I was never mad at the other person- just at my partners. They were the ones who were breaking our relationship parameters. Without the one actively cheating- the “homewrecker” (or whatever, I think that term is misplaced), would have exactly 0 impact…

I would not laugh at my kid if this happened to them. Mostly because this happened to me once when I was around 6 or so in my house. I was climbing the counters to get a cup or whatever and jumped down into a fresh pile our dog at the time left in the kitchen while I was up there. I immediately threw up all over the…

Could I really rock those hairstyles? Like if I straight-up admitted I was white while I did it? I don’t want to appropriate, but I have tried other hair styles of white people and it would be really cool to have that look I think. I just never went about even researching it because I thought it might be…

I had started clicking through and got confused so I guess I was wrong about what the ranking was vs. the numbers. Though while “ranking” was incorrect, it still works out to be 63 countries ahead of us in terms of lower maternal mortality ratio.

Even if there is nothing proving it is good for you, it’s not bad for you- and there is something to be said for the placebo effect. I think a good portion of the women who have researched this particular option, including me, have done it while looking for a prevention or some minor help against PPD. I didn’t have…

From your link, United States is 28th in ranking. The UK is tied for 8th with 4 other countries. The US is behind 64 other countries on that chart- many multiple ties for place.

Never heard of her. She sounds like one of the Dixie Chicks. The one who sang Lullaby.

“It’s a cool 60 degrees in New York City right now...”

Fuck off. It’s been dancing around and kissing 90 with 75+ humidity here since March 12.

I’m 5’1”. I weigh 185. Size 14 are slightly big on me, I can take my jeans off/put them on without unbuttoning them. 12s are a bit too small and give me muffin top. When I’m 160, I can wear 10. If I were 5’5”+, I could definitely fit into a 6-8 at 160lbs.

Huh. I’m not willing to endanger my children for any adult’s feelings.

Children should have their own seat- and if they’re young enough, a carseat buckled into that seat.

Add me to the list of people who thought this was old hat as a teen in the 90s. I used to wear a collar and the majority of my friends did as well- boys and girls. A lot of the girls used to put their boyfriends on leashes, and one guy leashed his girlfriend.

You are wrong. Not all kids need them, but when they do they really do.

+1 not true. You don’t lose your right to your art if you put it online. You give the social media platform you use the right to use it- but they do not own it.

Am I late? I think I’m late. Background, my mom grew up poor, 7 kids in a 3br house, alcoholic physically abusive father and sick mother- taking care of 5 siblings as eldest girl and taking the brunt of father’s wrath, lived on her own at 16, fighter/scrapper from way back, now living the good life of suburban…

I’ve explained the Kinsey scale so many times. 2s (and 4s) unite! :::highfive:::

I actually think that the scale is more of a sliding scale, but people really like categories and I think the Kinsey scale is a lot easier for most people to really understand. I find it a very helpful tool in explaining things when the…
