I agree with you that Americans seem to be behind when it comes to skincare. Recently I started learning more about Korean beauty products and I’ve tried a couple out (including the double cleansing method), and my skin looks so much better than it ever has.

Yes, she is human.

I dunno man. My partner is preeettty good in bed but it’s like there’s a disconnect between my lady bits and my brain. I want to enjoy what he’s doing but my libido is such a fickle, fickle thing. I wish there was a viagara-like substance to help me along.

That being said, I also completely agree with alllll of your…

Oprah sounds really awesome, though, so that’s good.

I’m a female. I like sports. But it seems like everyday I hear a story about how trivialized women are in sports, in sports “relationships", and now, even broadcasting. dammit.

Pam, what.

Jenna Fischer just broke my heart.

Heaven forbid a woman’s arm press against her torso, lending the appearance of having flesh. Appearing in true corporeal form is sooooo 20th century.

Why is it the woman’s job to ensure a man stand up for a child?

I was thinking this might seem functional, if evil, in the text. I looked, and it is not. There aren’t any exceptions. What happens when the father of the child is “Matt who I met at the club,” and that’s all the mother knows, and she doesn’t have any relatives who are willing to financially vouch for the child? Or…

The weird thing is all this racist fervor is kicking in at a time when crime rates are dropping, pregnancy rates are dropping, affirmative action has disappeared, taxes are low, welfare rolls have disappeared - yet black people are still being scapegoated. Rural white Americans - it is not our fault your lives suck.…

So, if you get raped by a stranger, don’t abort the baby because that’s bad, but we won’t acknowledge its existence when it’s born, either.

the cost of living has risen since then, and it’s safe to conclude that salaries have risen along with it.

No this is the doll;

In a long-term relationship, where the people aren’t in their 20s anymore, they have jobs, maybe kids. Twice a week is realistic.

In a long term relationship? Definitely.

Thank you so much for sharing your story.

I appreciate your willingness to write a story that reflects deep ambivalence.

I appreciate your willingness to write a story that reflects deep ambivalence. I think there isn’t enough of that anymore (everything is always strident and polarized) but you did a great job sitting with the murkiness of what this all means about Bowie’s legacy.

Maybe it’s just me, but I never looked at a Barbie doll and thought “I want to be that skinny with big boobs and a small butt.” Ever. I was a skinny, scrawny kid who grew up to be a curvy, big-boobed girl with an ass and hips. I don’t look back at my Barbie as some sort of “figure” I needed to achieve. I was just…
