Having read the linked article, I think what is critical - and missing - here is a discussion of the connection between one's felt gender identity and then the absorption of the social markers of that identity. It's not necessarily biological that a girl is going to want to play with dolls and a boy will want to play…

I call bullshit on her biology point. It is ridiculous to think that different behaviour displayed by kids is 'natural', given the huge amount of cultural influence they've been exposed to, even as toddlers. There are some interesting studies trying to find ways to bypass this problem, but for the most part those are…

Gender identity doe not dictate how that identity is expressed. So:

I'lll take my trophy now...............

you missed that they won. that an enormous corporation like McDonald's was held accountable. it may have been a small cash prize, but the important aspect was the outcome.

This can apply to men in some situations too. A torn white shirt on an attractive white guy? Adam Levine. On an unattractive guy of another race? Homeless murdering drug dealer.

I think this all also hinges on being conventionally attractive, for women at least. It's the elephant in the room — if you're going to look funky, you have to also look polished in some way.

Brazil. Specifically the Ministry of Data Acquisition.

To be fair, boob size seems to be something that a lot of women fret over for no reason. Most men seem to think that all boobs are good boobs and not care about size much.

Thanks for sharing this great article on Jezebel! I hope the conversation is not majorly hacked by women with large breasts.

I've always been small-breasted too, and never wanted them to be bigger. People tried to bully me about it in high school/college but gave up when they realized that I honestly thought that small boobs were a good thing. I like having small boobs and not being able to find bras that aren't designed to make them look…

So: an instrument of sexual oppression, not torture (just because women "chose" to wear them and encouraged others to wear them doesn't mean that they weren't living in a male-dominated social context that rewarded that choice — cf. any issue of Cosmopolitan today). Okay, then.

How about they axe it and just turn Geek Love into the mini-series it deserves to be.

Re LW3:

Speaking of "Mad Men", before she married, Betty was not only a bilingual fashion model who lived on her own in Rome for a while, but also had a degree In anthropology. Think of that the next time you see a rerun of Bets defrosting the freezer and putting in new shelf paper while slugging red wine.

Someone at Rolling Stone is confused about how to spell "dawg" and it's very off-putting in context.

did you seriously just write that? 'if he doesn't go down on you, he may be gay'? on jezebel? dude, if he doesn't go down on you, maybe he just doesn't want to. moreover, even if he fucks you, he still may still be gay. are you seriously saying that i, as a male, can reasonably expect that all the girls i've been with…

When I was in high school, I had one of those plastic clear backpacks (hello nineties!) and one day, I had a tampon, in its wrapper, in this backpack just jammed in their with all the other junk. And I got pulled into the freaking principles office because of this to talk about how I was in appropriately creeping out…

"So, I suggest nature over nurture, and I'm an asshole? PFFFFT."

I don't know if this could be considered good or bad advice because I am not married and my moral compass doesn't always point North.
Personally I would not tell your husband as you didn't actually cheat and then I would delete this other man from your life. Do not contact him or allow him anyway to contact you and…
