Also if you think about it the character *was* dressed appropriately for her work situation and was *trying* to buy clothing that would be appropriate for the social situations she found herself in.

I'm 1000% sure that obsession with "modesty" breeds teenagers' obsession with "skanky" clothing. And I don't mean that in a reverse psychology "they're just rebelling" kind of way. I mean that the idea that women should cover up is rooted in the same belief as the idea that women should show off their bodies. They…

I cannot wait for Yes Please! I loved Bossypants and Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, and I've been looking forward to another female comedic memoir. Fingers crossed Amy Poelher narrates the audiobook!

Can we do this every month? I love book recommends!

I'm reading a lot of bashing of her choices, and I feel compelled to express: We do not know the whole story about her decisions, so I don't think it's fair to jump to conclusions. Further, every single one of us has changed our appearance to fit in our social niche. Whether it's clothes, hair, tattoos, piercings, or…

That was beautiful.

For years, everyone in the world has misunderstood Kristen Stewart's compressed emotional range. They thought it meant she was a limited actress; it means nothing of the kind. She is John Wayne being forced to play the Maureen O'Hara character. Give her a rail to lean against during a sunset, a military jacket, a…

Probably because it's easier to think that women's vaginas get stretched out from "overuse" or dem bebbehs ruining the playground for teh menz. The fact that we have little computers in our pockets and drive cars that don't use gasoline but still believe in stretched pussies in 2014 is frankly amazing. When will…

Nope, you are not the only one...vaginas get engorged with blood when you're turned on, just like a cock, so if you're not really into it or getting into it too early, your vag isn't engorged with blood, and feels "looser", which is really isn't.

I'll forgive you if you put the top 10 most insufferable quotes online once you've finished it!

I actually know a lot of deeply religious people who support reproductive rights and struggle with reconciling their faith and their political/social beliefs. I think they are absolutely capable of intelligent discourse and have witnessed it many times.

We've always used the proper terms with our kiddo (I'm a biologist, I'm not going to call it a wee-wee or a hoo-haa or whatever). She was then told by other kids she was saying "bad words." Her teacher started to tell her not to say those and she proudly said "My mommy says those are the right words and not to use…

Is their position that because you're married to a man that you cease being attracted to women? Or, are they saying unless you're sleeping with both sexes at the same time then you aren't bisexual? I don't understand how your not having sex with a woman would make you any less bisexual. Just because you're with one…

Me too, but that's because I'm a photon.

My university, for some unfathomable reason, will accept MC, Discover, AmEx but NOT Visa. This is a giant university with over 50,000 students.

I have to be at work at 7:30. That is too damn early to eat anything. So I eat at my desk around 10:00 am. On the weekends I like to go out for breakfast, why? Because it's the cheapest meal to eat out. Also I like to cook once I am awake, but before that it is nice to have someone do it for me.

Here's a thought: maybe men do remember a heap of stuff, but not the stuff that (some) women want them to remember. My husband can remember entire runs-of-play in rugby games, down to who kicked what penalty, who was sent off, who should have been sent off, what blood injuries occurred, and what he drank during the…

MRA'ing really isn't my bag, but I know where the argument for this originally came from. When people were looking at issues of how society was oppressive to women, some came back and looked at how a lot of the little things influenced the status of men. Things like machismo and vixation on virility steered men…

Pretty sure calling a woman (I assume) you disagree with on the internet "sweetheart" is evidence you are a misogynist troll.

I don't think so. That definition up there speaks to sex equality specifically, which humanism's definition isn't rooted in:
