Incorrect. Our rights as outlined in our Constitution and the laws of this nation are founded on the principles of the Age of Enlightenment. Our entire government is in principle and practice. It's illegal to assault me because your right to punch me in the face ends where my right not to be hit begins, at the tip…

Even if abortion were about philosophy rather than politics (it's really not), one person's opinion about how I should live my life would still be irrelevant. Someone's personal beliefs about whether or not I should be able to drink alcohol, bare my head, live outside of my father's home, drive a car, have premarital…
Going to have to disagree with you.
My initial reaction to the chicken pox vax was "whatever," because chicken pox truly was nothing in my childhood. I'd never heard of major complications. I've still never encountered anyone with serious complications, but my boyfriend has chicken pox scars all over one side of his face. I think he's handsome and…
In the interest of giving you the benefit of the doubt, I took an informal survey of a statistically insignificant sample of scientists, asking them under what circumstances they would read the term "average" in a scientific publication and assume it could potentially mean "median:"
You are using the word "average" as a catch-all term for measures of central tendency. Maybe that's something you learned on Wikipedia or Ask Jeeves, but I use biostatistics nearly every day in the course of my doctoral research, and the word "average" is only ever used by scientists to refer to the arithmetic mean. …
There's only one appropriate answer to that question: "This is not a police state, ergo there is no curfew. Also, fuck you."
That's amazing. Definitely going to keep my eyes open.
Thank you SO much. I really appreciate you taking the time to get that to me.
I'll never understand though I wish I could. I used to experience gendered activities with unabashed joy, but since learning of trans individuals and their fight for respect and acceptance, now I feel guilt and shame that other women, trans women, might not be able to enjoy them in the same way. Or that perhaps…
If there's an economical laser option out there, I'd be overwhelmingly interested, assuming it wouldn't be any trouble for you to get the info. I don't want to put you out. Honestly, I buy razor blades in bulk from Costco and use Barbasol for shaving cream (because who smells people's legs), so it'd be really hard…
I really appreciate the advice. I've tried both in the past, though. Because both require a minimum of growth to be effective, the in between days are painful and not worth it. Shaving from ankle to hip every single day is a nuisance, but my poor brother who also has dark, coarse hair, has to spend even more time…
I'm sure you're right. I still think it's awesome that some women can choose to forgo the constant shaving. It really consumes like 50% of shower time. Go you guys! But it's not in the cards for me.
Well I guess I'm a cavewoman. :P My razor and I will just have to stay best buddies.
I don't know what other folks do, but as someone who walks to work, I wear apres ski boots over my slacks or tights that come nearly to the knee. Then I change into flats at work. It keeps the salt and dirty city snow off of me. That said, my 5 year old boots are pretty gross.
It's awesome you have a system that works for you. :) That said, what's your secret for that not being uncomfortable? I find it excruciating to wear tights with hair on my legs. It pulls. Even jeggings are painful after a few days without a razor. Is there a better way to put them on so it doesn't hurt all day?
I beg your pardon? Mean, median, and mode are vastly different statistics. Average and mean are synonyms. That is usually learned at age 11. If you're struggling with that as an adult, you really have no business attempting to read or interpret data. I do think it's "anti-intellectual" to call someone…
I think it's really about the type of surgery, how dramatic the surgery is, the extent of surgery (having one procedure versus being Heidi Montag), and whether there was actually any indication for surgery (though some would argue there never is). For example, I had a subtle, tasteful nose job as a teen that left my…
I have a life partner who loves my tits. So nothing anyone else says, ever, means anything to me. but thanks!!!
