Ha!

Don't expect the Furminator to solve this problem completely! My old roommate used one on her two longhaired cats daily, and we still have a solid inch of fur on the couch at any given time.

I'm surprised to hear you say that! I agree that many women do not have equal rights because of intersecting causes that include their ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, and color of their skin—which is why I tried to be careful to mention only those rights that I felt had been positively progressed for…

Man, this is an awesome question. I don't know how helpful I'm going to be because I don't love oral, so I hope other people give advice beyond "just play around and enjoy each other." (It sounds like you've definitely been there and done that—which, on top of you not faking it just to make him feel better, deserves…

I only just discovered that flavored vodkas existed! Are the flavors meant to mask the taste of the vodka or just provide a little interest to people who want to try out different things?

Oh shit.

So I have a job that I absolutely believe helps people in my community and my country. And if I quit, it's pretty much certain that no one would step in to do it.

Maybe caffeine-free? Because I had the same initial reaction. 100 bags a day of caffeinated tea would be comparable to 60 Red Bulls a day. Holy shit! (Or is my math off?)

Sorry, I should have said the average mannequin size! But I'm surprised that you never came across any that were shockingly thin, considering that the average mannequin would, if she were alive, not have the body fat percentage to be able to menstruate. Even considering that they come in different sizes, that speaks…

Women with the proportions of the average mannequin would have a body fat percentage that would render them unable to menstruate. That's not just "significantly smaller than the average."

This is a great perspective to bring, and I agree wholeheartedly that the second wave was way too entrenched in the lives of white wealthy women. But we're talking the fight for reproductive rights, Title IV, coed universities, changes to custody and divorce laws, establishment of battered women's shelters, etc., etc.

That's actually just as messed up as the usual store mannequin. Isn't the smallest size at Lane Bryant and all those a 14? How is that different from putting a size zero mannequin in a regular clothing store?

Exactly.

...Am I wrong in thinking that most designer jeans come with a 36" inseam? Doesn't that mean that everyone 5'8" and under—four inches taller than the average American woman—needs to get them shortened?

No, they're saying the proportions seen on mannequins—like those seen in Barbie dolls and photoshopped magazine images—are artificial and cannot exist in human women. I've seen mannequins that have 14-inch waists. These are measurements that do not exist among human women.

No—as opposed to the proportions that are only seen on mannequins and Barbie dolls, which adult human women do not possess. The average mannequin would have a body fat percentage only seen on pre-pubescent girls.
