No, I have wonderful coworkers of both genders that make my work day much more bearable. However, the fact that I am not sexually available has never been a secret and if you can't come to terms with that or at the very least keep your feelings buried deep down and far away then yes leave me alone. I don't come to…

There's something about this article that just absolutely rubs me the wrong way. I don't know if its the fact that I've been sexually harassed at work for almost a year now and the man has only gotten a light slap on the wrists or if this article seems to pander to bros on a site that specifies that its for women in…

Isn't that the painful truth? I cut my hair barely twice a year now because now that I've actually found someone who can cut curly hair I can barely afford the cut! Though, once I did find that magical unicorn that knows how to cut curly hair I will never go to another person. She makes me so preeeetty and loads this…

Speaking of mortified, I just noticed the egregious usage of "you're" instead of "your". I promise I speak English good.

Based on your comment maybe we should spend more time teaching women empathy instead of toughness.

This is a fantastic explanation and one that I hope both Lindy and the commentariat read. I'm not a POC but I do come from one of the communities that you describe. Tyler Perry's jokes aren't made for people outside of these communities, regardless of race. That's why so many critiques are hard to take seriously, they…

Ahhhh!! This makes me so happy to hear! I have tickets for June and I'm SO READY! I heard a rumor they wanted to play some lesser known stuff, like songs from Tusk. Is that true? I want to be as prepared as possible.

Georgia Mennonites are the best! My dad is a dairy nutritionist and would do some consulting for some Mennonites in Middle Georgia and they often sent him home with all kinds of breads and pastries. Heavenly.

When a person can't make an arguement without namecalling or saying someone's behavior is "assholish" it does warrant telling a commenter to relax. Insinuating that a person might be a sociopath because they don't share your opinion is obnoxious and honestly a pisspoor argument. I can't understand why someone…

Dude, maybe relax a bit. Its pretty apparent that msrobertplant isn't saying that we shouldn't be horrified and devastated about the loss of those children. She is saying that maybe we should remember the teachers and administrators that died while trying to save those lives. Most other Newtown memorials seem to be…

Hey, go to groupthink.kinja.com. That's the new Groupthink and it seems to be enjoying a bit more activity than usual! One plus for Kinja. ;)

That's something I've actually been a little concerned about. I'm going on 3 years now and I know that doctors don't like you to be on it much longer than that for the exact reason you stated. However, my mom was on it for about 20 years and suffered no bone density loss. I'm sure that she's the exception instead of…

I'm not sure if you'd be interested in the BC shot (Depo Provera) but it has been a godsend for me. Apparently my cervix is too small for an IUD and the shot has eliminated my periods and I only have to worry about getting one dose every 3 months. I have heard very mixed reviews about the shot as well but I can only…

From my experience (and I can only speak from my experience) I've found that younger men in the South really want to be perceived as the dominant, head of the household type. Age is less of a factor as long as their girlfriend is properly submissive. This tends to correlate strongly with how religious the man is. I…

Ahh I hope I didn't come across as defensive! After I posted I thought I should put an ETA to say that I'm from the Deep South and this probably (or definitely) has something to do with finding men that are interested in a partner they consider an equal.

I'm 24 and in a relationship with a 30 year old. I get the occasional jokes from my friends about only dating "ancient men" as my last boyfriend was 5 years older but nothing in the way of disapproval. I've known what I've wanted out of life careerwise since I was 12 (I realized this makes me the minority and a bit of…

The 4-6 year olds that I coach had their first little league soccer game today! I don't think we won (we try not to emphasize score at that age) but thankfully almost every child scored a goal and all consider themselves to have had a very successful day! There was much high fiving, lots of cheering, and I even got…

Grey's Anatomy handles both abortion and miscarriage (with subsequent fertility issues afterwards) quite well in my opinion. The abortion decision and the effect it had on the couple was a very thorough story arc. I think it all started around last season.

It is what you eat when you're a billionaire who has made eradicating global hunger your life's goal. It looks like he's trying to make a meatless option look more palatable to our more carnivorous tastes. Unfortunately it doesn't look like one of the more palatable meatless options.

Yeah, all of these counties have really small high schools. My graduating class had 400 students and we had a much, much higher number of Hispanic kids. Asian, not so much.
