"If Your Boyfriend Tells You Your Vagina is Repulsive (He is Probably in Want of a Boyfriend of His Own)."

Anyone who thinks Muslim women/women who grew up in a Muslim culture aren't interested in sex clearly hasn't met any Muslim women...

One weird thing I noticed, specifically in the Middle East, was how comfortable strange men felt aggressively pressing me for gay sex.

My best guess is that they figured as a foreigner I

I'm a little tired of seeing the griping on here about, "Oh, how nice that she has that option as a rich person."

I'm bummed out that, once again, we're framing being a decent partner and father not as mandatory, but as optional and a special present that men who like to go above and beyond do. I dislike the jewelry less, because at least that's an actual present instead of an inequitable relationship.

Oh, for the days of inter-school rivalry and hijinx on the Strand/Kingsway.

Look, nice lady I've never met: what you want(ed) is not what I want(ed).

I want to work. A lot. Like ... I'm working adjacent to my field right now, but not in it, and I feel really bad about myself.

I really wish people understood why so many Chechens are here, so that the reporters would ask such ass-stupid questions.

These are the times that it would be nice to be able to just smash.

@becca_martie does raise some important sociological points re: the lame behavior of goddamn boners.

I had encephalitis as a result of the pertussis vaccine. I tell you this not to give you fodder for your anxieties, but so that you understand that when I say vaccines are safe, that you don't think I am dismissing you out of hand. I still get vaccinated against everything (except pertussis). Why? Because I understand
