My husband and I always opt for the "couple's massage" (aka the "enhanced pat down" for people who opt out of body scanners, which are bullshit).

My husband does this too! Or he did, until I showed him where everything went. Now he just puts in on the counter nearest and says, "I don't like putting it away."

Uh...when did Daisies start dressing like superman? Is that a standard thing now?

Liz: Look, in Cleveland, I'm a model!

True story: I was an insanely jealous type, and thought it was just me, until I met my husband for whom establishing and reinforcing trust was a primary commitment. I initially found it strange that he continually pointed out that he "was not going anywhere" and I had "nothing to worry about" or that he thought my…

Rummaging for loose change in his bag only to find a collection of Polaroids, each featuring a different nude, post-coital, female "friend."

You are reinforcing the very idea you seem to think you're criticizing.

It's this kind of bullshit cynicism that makes everyday folks feel like they don't belong in public institutions like museums, which only reinforces conservative notions of culture and ultimately undermines trust (and funding) in public institutions.

The cast should be all men, because Ghostbusters.

BAM!

Love this series.

I watched the video before reading the article and when she said, "I am disgusted by how much you have copied my husband" I thought, "She's married to Michael Buble?"

I don't actually think we disagree all that much. I'm essentially carving a distinction between two kinds of motivations for rape. The first, "because I want to" the second "because I want to punish you." I agree this is about power and about violence, apologies if that wasn't clearer.

There was nothing sexual here other than the organs. In choosing to rape this women rather than beat her (or…

OMG, yes! I forgot to include the time when I broke down in the mall b/c the site of a person eating alone was just.too.much.

The time when Depo was the hot new thing on the market, and my gyno forgot to tell me that it isn't recommended for people who have depression before she stuck my ass with 1 years worth of estrogen (back in the day it was an annual affair).

First thought: This kind of makes sense, kids often rebel against the strong archetypes of their parents. (no small source of terror for me)

Please give us the deets on that towel/rug.

True story: The first time I visited Minneapolis, I asked the lady at the Hertz rental counter if there was a regional cuisine I should try while in town. She said, "Oh, yeah we're big into hot dish!" Sounds intriguing!

Real talk: As a grown person, do you kiss your parents on the mouth?
