My BBC news app woke me up at 4 am with this, and I was so annoyed until I actually read it and then I fell back asleep with a great big smile on my face.

No, but that is one example of when I found being convinced/asked for affirmative and enthusiastic consent sexy. I didn't say anyone else had to find it sexy

There was something simultaneously aggressive yet sweet about it that hit the perfect balance.

So my ex used to do this thing where he would wake up and want to have sex and he would nuzzle into me and start kissing my neck and then when I would actually wake up and get into it he would whisper into my ear "Can I fuck you?" and it was SO GODDAMN SEXY.

The same thing that is wrong with parents who e-mail their 17-year-old's teacher to complain about failing test grades when their child spends the class sleeping/talking to his friends.

This ^^^

Or at least let you enter measurements and then you can compare to different brands

So this girl I know from high school is married to a guy with three kids, one in middle school (she's 25) and she has her own and she is literally CONSTANTLY posting shit about them with #blessed and CONSTANTLY posting pics of her and her husband and how happy they are AND she uses it to sell some essential oils crap…

Actually, at some schools, it is like that. Talk to any sorority (or really, undergrad) at a major southern state school and they'll tell you that the only way to get ahead at those schools is going Greek. Or to anyone who's a legacy with pushy parents. A lot of people do walk away, but a lot of people can't.

The only argument I've ever heard in favor of dressing well is that, occasionally, if someone's going to get bumped up to first class, being nicely dressed can help you be that person.

That's always been my experience. I hate my ex's ex because "she's awful and blahblahblah" and and then we break up and I run into her and I'm like, "Oh, you're great, he's an idiot, let's hang out!"

I'm not entirely sure what a duvet is. And why would you have not sheets? Does one just sleep on their mattress? I'm extremely confused.

If I might make a suggestion?
Tuck the bottom foot or so of the sheet, as well as the end of the bed. Let the rest of the sides fly free. Best of both worlds, in my humble opinion.

One of the most insightful things I ever read about sexism in nerd culture is that the reason men go on and on about "fake geek girls" is that if they admitted that women actually like the same things they do, then they would have to admit that they are alone because they're shitty misogynistic asshats, not because…

One of my favorite books has a line about a divorced woman deciding whether to revert to her maiden name, or keep her married name, and it goes something along the lines of "What kind of a choice is it for a woman- deciding between her husband or her father's name?"

A guy in college once told me that he was unsure of our relationship because he didn't like to date "girls who are as smart as me." I laughed in his face and said "Oh, sweetie. You weren't dating someone as smart as you. You were dating someone much smarter than you are. Now you're not dating anyone."

OH MY GOD HER POSTURE. Everything she wears would look 100% better if she would stop slouching or slumping or whatever it is she's doing that makes her look so schluppy.

I agree with the first half, but not the second. I teach high school and it's extraordinarily easy to police dress code without unnecessarily singling out students. Ask a student to stay for a moment after class, tell them their skirt is too short or their shirt isn't uniform or they need different shoes and send them…

My guy friends are always amazed by the shit I pull out of my purse (books, sunglasses, first aid supplies, make-up, tampons, pens, tiny bottles of liquor, a pack of birthday candles, an extra pair of socks... the list goes on and on.)

That one is the least weird to me, because at least we know the justification behind it.
