My mother is a breast cancer survivor and despises the pink ribbon campaign. Like many breast cancer survivors, she wears a t shirt that says "Fuck awareness. Find a cure". She hates the way the breast cancer awareness campaigns focus on the breasts, not the women attached to them. Save the tatas. Save second base.…

Or a tautology.

It's called the glass cliff. Companies that are on the verge of collapse look for CEOs that are the exact opposite of their last CEO, the one that made all the bad decisions. Often that means they pick a woman.

I think so too! Cock is wider sounding word. If you ever learn the Irish language (don't) you learn that there are two types of vowels, fat ones and thin ones. The fat ones are a, o and u, and the thin ones are e and i. Maybe learning Irish as a child made me favour the word cock...

So, everybody who has a penis or is attracted to people with penises: In your erotic romance (or bedroom encounters, whatever), do you favour the word dick or cock? Or something else entirely?

I feel the same way, and I feel not entitled to complain about it as I'm told I'm "so lucky to have that problem". I recently started an office job and I spent all today in a foul mood because the crotch of my tailored trousers is hanging just above my knees because the waist of the pants WON'T SIT ON MY WAIST. I'm…

Yup. Xanax, Zyprexa, Zyban, Zimovane...

It's not true. Guinness won't help you lift a tractor, either.

One of the great things about being an American, is knowing that you can be a big dick and that the world has to deal with it.

Sounds like Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder. Is it worse in the wintertime, by any chance? Some people I know with DSPD have found relief with tryptophan, melatonin or valerian, while a more hardcore solution is a low dose of a tricyclic antidepressant to get you off to sleep faster.

Pigs also have the intelligence of a three year old child and the capacity to feel love and optimism, if they are raised in nurturing environments...

Not serious question - why do people work for fast food franchises when they know the workers are treated like shit?

I was an atheist from the age of seven, brought up in a Catholic household. I told my parents when I was 12 and they treated it as a rebellious teenage stage I was going through. I refused to go to church, though they were very unhappy with me for it. 15 years later, we just don't talk about it. I go home for…

There are plenty of Irish Protestants, and there aren't many Catholics in the Republic of Ireland who share your prejudice.

It's like the Irish "go away to fuck", i.e. fuck off. In Ireland, "fuck off" is also used as a way of saying "seriously?" or "that's unbelievable!" I said it to my mother this morning. We're a sweary folk.

You fundamentally don't understand psychology, if you conflate it with psychoanalysis. It's like confusing science and scientology. It sounds like what you're saying is the scientific method is culturally independent which may indeed be true. However, the scientific method is not conducted in a vacuum. You would do…

My mother refers to me meeting friends as hooking up. For example: "I'm so glad that you're hooking up with more of your friends since the break up, you seem to be hooking up with someone almost every night!" No matter how many times I explain what that means, she keeps using the phrase.

Science is immune to cultural biases

This is psychiatry, not psychology.

Science, particularly social and psychological science, is not immune to existing cultural biases.
