Reminds me of the recent study that says that if women speak about 30% of the time, men will remember it as the women dominating the conversation.

Trying to catch up on your internetting after 18 months inside? Congrats on re-entering society, LE. 

Well, I found that when the iud strings were cut shorter, they jabbed my partner, leaving long scratches on his penis, especially in certain positions. He got “gun-shy” every time we had sex. So I got that iud removed, and put in another one. The doctor recommended I leave the strings full length and just “wrap” them…

How can they claim this is the perfect body when it isn’t covered with lustrous, soft fur?

1 towel = 1 use! Yes! I buy super cheap, super thin, somewhat small towels from IKEA. I use them once and throw them in the hamper. One week worth of towels is a small load in the washer. Totally worth it. Plus, because I wash them separately from my clothes, I can throw in a little bleach to keep them super white.…

I swear they’ve (corporate overlords) have made everything sweet now. Ketchup? sweet. Chinese food? sweet. Salad dressing? sweet.

Indian food for when I’m sick. Hot, hot Indian food.

I’ve always loved ULG since I was a child and first read A Wizard Of Earthsea. I’ve reread the Earthsea Series from time to time as an adult. I read Tehanu when I was in my 20's, and I thought it was ok - kinda lacking in the magic department compared to the first three novels. And then I read Tehanu again, in my…

It’s impossible to tell these people anything; just look at how many people in the comments don’t understand. (I’m not talking about the people who are clearly joking around!)

Silver, unlike china, still has good market value. Take the silver.

But to take a beautiful old house and get rid of a formal dining room? Sacrilege. Also, I am a bad woman, apparently—but Do. Not. Paint. Good. Woodwork.

I can’t tell you how many gorgeous old homes I’ve seen where the outside is perfectly maintained but the inside has been gutted to the point where it’s not even recognizable as an old home anymore. I don’t get it.

My mother used Hubbard Squashes for her Pumpkin Pies. Much better flavor and texture than regular pumpkin.

Tomato Face was the greatest troll Gawker ever had. I used to laugh so hard I would cry when he would get people rolling.

I don’t understand what moral framework you’re talking about. I’ve read your reply a couple of times, but I’m not understanding what you mean.

True, but by your own analogy, you are comparing a woman hanging out with a guy she trusts, a friend, to wandering around an unsafe neighborhood late at night. Doesn’t that strike you as a terrible indictment of men? Even trusted men can’t be trusted?

It’s actually super difficult for me to believe that the most common reported rape scenario is someone regretting sex in the morning and deciding to call it rape. My own experience from listening to my female friends is that they err on the side of caution when calling anything rape - even when it’s clearly rape.

I think that the phrase, “too drunk to give consent” means that the person isn’t saying “yes”; they’re not saying anything at all, they’re just passively “there”. If the person doesn’t seem to know what’s going on, or is passed out, or doesn’t even seem to know what’s happening from moment to moment, then they are too…

Instead of going in first his first kiss when he is older is he supposed to ask first? That sort of ruins the romance no?

So, if a guy goes out with a bunch of dudes, gets drunk and stays over at his friend’s place, he should expect to wake up to his guy friend trying to blow him? or trying to undress him? or trying to sodomize him? Because that’s how guys are, right?
