Seriously. What, exactly, is this exercise doing to help him "understand" polar bears better? Because it looks like pointless antagonism of that animal just so he can feel like some kind of badass. Meanwhile, she actually has to survive out there, and doesn't even get a steak for her trouble.

Right? Like, no guy could REALLY be into any different kinds of bodies, or prioritize personality/talent. If you can't do the 2,000 daily leg lifts it takes to get Cosmo-approved thighs, then please stay at home and quit slutting it up and cock-blocking us 10's! /sarcasm

Yeah, most people are only that vicious when they're projecting their own self-hate onto someone else. Maybe Lena Dunham is everything (or a few important things) that Stasi once wanted to be but was told (by the size-obsessed industry? by her size-obsessed self?) she couldn't be. Sucks that Linda Stasi is perhaps…

I thought the same thing. Doesn't look like she learned much about intellectual property, capitalism, journalism, or written communication when she was earning that Harvard degree.

If winterizing/dryness are happening with my skin, I find nothing is more glorious than putting Burt's Bees Hand Salve all over my feet, knees, elbows, and hands, and socks on the feet/longish pj's.

Never underestimate the power of seamed stockings, a garter belt, and a silky babydoll. Odds are, your boyfriend mainly wants to look at you naked, so make sure you can efficiently get out of whatever you buy, or have sex while wearing it. I got a lot of mileage out of a pair of Dita Von Teese stockings for several…

I agree, having an interest beyond pure profit would make it a bit more palatable, to me anyway. Honestly, I think if my grandmother had had the opportunity to go "Look at how much the entire country loves my grandbabies!" with merchandise, she definitely would have done it.

Which is why I said "offended Brits." I doubt everyone in the country is worried about this. If you used "shrieking harpy Americans" in reference to those who agree with Ann Coulter, I would have no problem with that. :)

Hey offended Brits, I have one thing to say to you—Princess Diana Commemorative Plates. Go ahead and be all *terribly put out* about this baby swag all you want, but some of us were judging the shit out of tasteless Royal-themed consumer goods YEARS ago. Don't hate on Mrs. Middleton for capitalizing on people's…

Anxiety can be very serious if it persists for a long time. Your heart, blood pressure, cholesterol—all can be negatively affected by persistent, elevated stress levels. That's to say nothing of the depression that often accompanies anxiety. It's worth trying a few appointments with a therapist to at least try to…

Hurt how? Like osteo pain/bruises on your heel, or like blisters? My first thoughts are to get different boot socks and/or some work boot inserts. If the problem is blistering on the heels, try a strip of duct tape over the skin that normally gets irritated. My hiking boots normally give me blisters on day three…

Have you considered investing in a clothing steamer? I don't own one, but the people I know who do cannot shut up about their superiority over irons. And they are way forgiving of lack of skill.

I felt that same way until I fell so in love/admiration with Tammi Taylor that my love for Coach was too great a betrayal against her for my soul to bear.

Texas (and Tim Riggins) forever!

Set small, attainable goals for yourself, progressing throughout the year, and reward yourself periodically. Don't tell your friends until it's reward time. "Do you want to go get pedicures next week? I met my New Year's goals!"

Right, but those are indirect, and we require the same types of indirect actions to men. My point (which I think you already get) was that we (as in "The People"/our legal system) do not require or mandate blood donation, organ donation, or any other such direct use of humans' bodies or body parts for the…

Yepper. That's why it's in quotes, along with "anti-murder." Because if you're against murder, you are against war, the death penalty, and a shitload of other problems in our country that have nothing to do with gestation and the completion thereof.

How it is unclear escapes me too, but the comments section indicates widespread confusion, between ideas like "personally pro-life" and "anti-murder." Just insane. How someone can say with a straight face that the law should be such that any woman anywhere can be forced to use her body to sustain a physically…

THIS. I've known some Nice Guys. The fact is, they could appreciate and engage with women who are interested in them, but then they would have to appreciate and engage with women in whom they are not interested. So whereas I apparently have to justify myself for not fucking whatever was available or at least…

THIS. For the most part. Every Nice Guy I've ever known who bitched and moaned about not being able to get laid/get a girlfriend was actually ignoring or dismissing some girl who was interested in him. It's one thing to go through a Nice Guy phase in high school/college when you don't know what you want/what you're…
