I tend towards the theoretical, which makes me a bad resource for empirical studies. I do know that thinking about the ways in which the structure of society (in terms of material resources, labor and power) effects human biology was of particular interest for some radical feminists around the turn of the 20th…

I struggle with these kinds of questions constantly (mother who moved to the rural south and adopted the viewpoints of the area). While the situations are different, we're both tackling the same thing: willful ignorance. The first step to overcoming this disposition is the most difficult: A person has to be willing…

This article is too hard on anus waxing.

"If it takes someone more than 20 years to notice how to properly use "it's," then that's not a learning curve I'm comfortable with."

All of those are beautiful, thank you!
