The thing is, young women generally aren't wearing leggings because they're comfortable (though that is a bonus, I'm sure). They're wearing them because, for some reason, they're the uniform at the moment.

Two pieces of advice on that:

I, um... okay. I am a relatively well-trained writer/editor, and I try to be sensitive to racial slurs/political correctness/etc. However, I could've been guilty of this particular apparent faux pas.

I have a theory that women who are currently attached generally find themselves attracted to the opposite of whatever kind of man they're lucky enough to lie next to every night.

WHY in the world would this be posted on Jezebel?! This is exactly the kind of crap that I come here to get away from.

I have a shirt that reads "The book was better" across the chest.

Hey, just because they're married and pregnant doesn't mean that they're happy. You could actually be better off being single. No need for Blaaaaagh.

Yes, yes, YES! Thank you! Finally, someone who shares my opinion on this nonsense!

Oh, thank goodness for you. I HATED the book, too.

I've a feeling that many of the people who actually sign up to be tossed do so for the same kinds of reasons that underprivileged woman become prostitutes.

Ah, see, in the US we would say "scarf" down a burrito.

Obviously.

How exactly does one "scoff" down a burrito lunch?

I actually used to work at one of the Remote Encoding Centers. We only made about $12 an hour (though, admittedly, that was five years or so ago), and we often worked holidays that other postal workers did not. In fact, around Christmas, there was always ridiculous overtime because of all those cards addressed…

See, now, you're just making me swoon even more.

I know, right?

I think it's more subversive, too, but actually, in our case, we just liked my last name better, for a number of reasons, and that was really all it came down to. I think that makes it even more nice, somehow, that it wasn't actually a feminist stand on his part, just... what made the most sense, no big deal.

People still send stuff to my husband with his old last name, but shockingly, when they send stuff to us as a couple, *almost* everybody gets it right, with a few stubborn exceptions.

I am slightly in love with you, Ari Schwartz.
