“Then, I realized that women love presents like dogs love treats. Just as an unfriendly dog wouldn’t deny a tasty treat, any beautiful girl can be bribed into giving you a first date.”

OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IS HOW HE SIGNED HIS EMAIL. Please tell me you responded.

it's just you

yup same EXACT situation here. Small hooded eyes, and would kill for all the eyelid space my sister has to play with fun makeup looks.

You responded thoughtfully so I will return the courtesy. This particular article has a specific focus, on the Old Order Mennonites in Bolivia who were being terrorized. The larger scope was how dangerous an ultra insular society, cut off from all contact with other society, can be. This is not about the dangers of…

You read an article about the systematic rape of hundreds of women and children in a community DEFINED by its religion, and your take away is "why aren't we criticizing the Muslims too?" Ffs.

WE ARE MAD ABOUT THE SYSTEMATIC RAPE OF DISENFRANCHISED WOMEN AND CHILDREN, not about THEIR CLOTHES. OBVIOUSLY.

Very interesting counterpoint.

My husband did convert as a formality- he is/was basically an atheist and I think converting without meaning it really bothered him. I don't think he liked the idea of lying to a holy man. But it meant a lot to my parents, and it took a huge psychological weight off their shoulders. Basically he converted, we had a…

Okay you are not me. American, no rabbits, only one kid. I just don't find a huge number of muslim women married to non-muslims and I love it! I love that you own it also! :)

are you me? we have many things in common :)

I literally laughed out loud when I read your comment. AWESOME

I alternated between being weirded out when he moved, to freaking out when he didn't move all that much. Babies - they be acting craycray in there :)

Me too me too! We just had the little guy four months ago and we are now adjusted to me being back at work and Mr. Denapsu being a SAHD. I will say though, the EMOTIONAL transition for me was probably the worst - it really challenges your identity (or at least my identity) to not be the primary caregiver. I am so…

I have THE EXACT SAME THOUGHTS!!!!

Yes it totally freaks me out. I am CONSTANTLY worried about the temperature in my kid's room (he's almost four months). Or worried about air circulation. Like stay up at night worried about it!!

During my pregnancy, a very thin male doctor asked me my pre-pregnancy weight IN FRONT OF MY HUSBAND AND MOTHER. I was horrified and made them go outside to tell him (yes I am a child regarding these matters but I would rather die than have my husband know the actual number). Keep in mind, he was asking because if I…

holy shit. I can't believe that experience, I am SO SORRY YOU HAD TO DEAL WITH THAT.

thank you for highlighting this wonderful organization!

Yes, this is exactly right.
