Here's the flip side of that argument, and one that's always baffled me. People go on and on (and on and on and on) about the obesity crisis and how people who are overweight need to get up off their fat asses and eat healthy and exercise. This is me! I'm one of those fatasses who's trying to eat healthy and exercise,…

This could be the beginning of a fun game: Preserve blog post or excerpt from a gay romance novel? You decide!

Consumer Reports would quibble with you about that, at least when it comes to nail polish.

Blackstreet! Yes.

Let's get some ladies up in here.

True, but business partnerships dissolve all the time for reasons that don't go that far beyond, "I can't stand to look at your stupid face anymore." Business partnerships and romantic partnerships aren't really all that different.

I hear you on this. I moved from an area where everyone friends with the person standing in line behind them at the grocery store to an area where talking to strangers is something you just do. not. do. I can't (and don't want to) shake the habit of talking to strangers and I've found that if I'm respectful and quick…

Here's the thing: Street harassers aren't telling women they look good. What they're really saying is, "I have more power than you do, whether I recognize it or not, and I'm going to exercise it by saying something sexualized and inappropriate to you." There's a world of difference between, "Hey, I like your shirt!"…

I agree with you here. I keep coming back to country because of all the genres I listen to, it's country that seems most relatable. It's not perfect, but it's the best I can find.

I don't really understand the anger in this article. Country, like other genres of music, is a game artists have to play if they want to be heard. Steve Grand wrote a gay country love song but because he's not backed by a label, it's not really getting heard.

For me, because it seems out of sync with the situation. I don't generally expect to see an adult's underwear outside of sexual situations or specific types of performances. As I said, if that shirt were worn with a sports bra or something that provided more coverage, I wouldn't think twice about it. But it feels…

You're right, the fact that I find it impractical is irrelevant to whether it should be allowed. The question you asked, however, was why it bothered people, and I think the impracticality of is part of what bothers people. It's been mentioned several times in different threads on this post already.

I haven't seen it on my campus, but it could certainly be something I see a lot of in the fall. It would skeeve me a little bit, though; I don't want to see someone's most recent Vickie's purchase. When it's a sports bra or something with more coverage I don't mind, but a lingerie-style bra just feels like it crosses…

I lived in a brutally hot town a few years back and one dude at the farmer's market rocked kilts and long skirts exclusively. He was literally the coolest dude there and I was consistently surprised that none of the other guys hopped on his beskirted bandwagon. I can't imagine suffering in heat like that when they…

I don't think I'm all that conservative, but I don't think something like this is appropriate dress for being out and about. It'd be a great swimsuit cover up, but I wouldn't expect to see this while I'm grocery shopping.

I think for one, because we have to look at someone's underwear. In revealing or tight clothes, we don't have do that, and we've generally agreed as a society that looking at the entirety of one's underwear while one is wearing clothes is inappropriate. Your bra strap? Your slip hem? The waist of your boxers? No…

I'm not even really a fan of The Hiddleston, but that commercial was quite nice. Then again, there's just something about British men in nice cars. Anyone else remember the Clive Owen BMW short films?

Sure. Good luck figuring it out!

Are you sure they're not showing up? Sometimes mine take about 10 minutes to manifest themselves, and sometimes they're all out of place in the conversation thread for a few minutes after that before they sort themselves out.

So for one, the inclusion of Danny Trejo immediately makes things more awesome. But for two, what really struck me was how cool it was to see a band that's primarily White make a video significantly featuring characters of color. Granted, I haven't watched a lot of music videos lately (the last time I was conversant…
