I couldn't even post a hospital bill, because the hospital doesn't bill me, it bills my health insurance. I did have a nose surgery just three weeks ago actually and don't even know what it cost, nor do I know what any of the other surgeries I've had in my life cost.

The law for paid sick leave down here in Germany covers six weeks per year. Nationwide of course. If you're sick longer than that, public social security kicks in.

But the thing is, as long as there is demand, there will be a supply. My curiosity is killing me (I would LOVE to see her naked) but until we are in some weird, bi-exploratory naked extravaganza and she willingly undresses before me, I'm not going to view the pictures. You may be a drop in the bucket, but put a…

Funny cause I thought the lesson was more "Mind your business/don't be a shithead"

While I'm not disputing the decidedly Euro-centric representation of features, I do take a little issue with dismissing all of these women as "white" - a lot of them are of mixed-race, and are of a time when intermarrying of wildly disparate family backgrounds for political alliance was the norm.

My son has high functioning autism. I heard him say this recently, to a friend, over Xbox Live-

You break it, you buy it. They broke their relationship with their son, and now they have to deal with the consequences of that. You don't get to be a bigot and then get to duck what you reap from being that way.

Maybe it's too sexy and distracting to the girls?

My partner is 6'4" and a feminist - could I, should I use this study to shame him into doing more of the housework?

I love etiquette and I think it can be very useful in encouraging respectful, considerate behavior - but some traditions just need to die, and this is one of them. Address people the way they want to be addressed! That is etiquette.

To all those vendors:

I promise not to write an excel spreadsheet of all the times you didn't give me the sexin' I want and send it to your work email.

Damnit, Rebecca, he's a man. He already knows all the answers to all the questions. Why should he have to listen to us pesky womenfolk about our own experiences?

especially since a good 15% of these comments have explained why the OC's comment was WRONG AND DUMB

I have no experience with being sexually assaulted like this, but I still feel like I have to say this

I think to some people it's not about "having the right". It's just about "who is going to stop me?".

The more I think about this the angrier I get. What makes a guy think he has the right to (a) grope a woman who is not with him, and (b) beat her for refusing to be groped by him? As a woman and a mother, I have to question where parenting, schooling, individual responsibility, and society went wrong here.
