As someone who qualified for a Perkins loan through FAFSA ("low-interest federal student loans for undergraduate and graduate students with exceptional financial need.") I seriously do not find this offensive, but actually kind of cute and clever.

And makes such intiutive sense. If you are someone who is highly oriented toward eating steak, you will report lower distress and higher thriving after eating steak. If, however, you are a vegetarian, you are likely to feel upset and / or queasy.

I had a one-night-stand 23 years ago. We're now happily married and have two kids. Casual sex ftw.

Same here. I'm not enough of a people person for that. I don't even want to hang out with most people platonically, never mind sleep with them. *crawls back under rock*

I've seen numerous women from India (within India and also Indian-American women) saying they think porn has something to do with what's going on over there. Anecdotal, but I wonder why they're not asked to write about their opinions and experiences for popular sites that often share women's opinions and experiences...

Because i have never heard of a single survivor of the industry, ever, who walked away from it without serious psychological issues and ptsd, not to mention the physical trauma.

I find it rather sad that some young women are under the impression that being 'slutty' is a great empowering thing to be celebrated. Because from my experiences around these young ladies, many have ended up heartbroken and distrustful of men after a string of bad experiences—that they were equal partners in.
Sigh. I…

Everyone is blowing this is off as some weird fetish-y thing and missing Mark's larger point: this is becoming normal. Let me repeat that again: hardcore, extreme and often dangerous sexual acts, overwhelmingly involving women, are becoming more and more normalized. Things that should be seasoned fetishes and…

Actual verbatim gchat conversation that happened at 3:30 AM EST:

I know that Reagan has been a name for hundreds of years but if someone named their kid Reagan post 1980 I'm going to assume they're an asshole.

It's such a comical word. PIZZLE. It sounds specifically like one that's urinating. (Sorry.)

ME TOO! It was the weirdest thing, because you don't notice how weird the "normal" experience is until you go away from it for awhile and then come back. You expect it at Random State College, but I always assumed that it would be a different story at a place like Amherst. I always think of that when reading those…

It's interesting how some dead president names are "for girls" and some "for boys." Like Jackson, Harrison, Carter are for boys. Taylor is kind of unisex, I guess. I suppose those could have already been names, too, but I think of past presidents when I hear them.

Aw it's cute. I think that Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard's baby girl is named Lincoln as well. Am I making that up?

Because old people are the worst. So are poor people, like remember when she made fun of the girl who dressed like her for prom, and all the other people calling them broke ass bitches? Yeah. Rihanna is the best.

she is not toned. no definition on her. now that tlc pic someone posted downthread...

My mom just started watching Breaking Bad and she calls me to tell me about it all the time now. She LOVES Jesse and feels bad that she laughed when the guy got the ATM smashed on his head. She wants to watch the episodes faster but my dad says only two per night. It's basically the cutest thing that's ever happened,…

Re: TLC and Rihanna, just another example of the generational divide when it comes to women and open displays of sexuality.

I would like to add not enough bra sizes for women that are small busted, large bust, small framed, and large framed.
