Further proof that everyone who whines about "political correctness" is just saying "When I act like a racist/sexist/homophobic asshole, society doesn't give me its unqualified blessing like it used to."

RT @ecw3mdiv: Women want #equalrights and #equalpay but also want #chivalry. #feminism has caused a lot of confusion

it's the way you spell checkbook in the UK, but then i think you know what she meant :P

A college boyfriend praised the "no makeup" look of two girls on my floor and I was like "Sonnnnn, if you think they don't wear makeup, you get a D- in observational powers."

Do people still balance chequebooks? I write cheques so rarely, and can always check my balance so I don't need to guess or calculate what's been going on...

I've been trying to subtly encourage my male S.O. to wear concealer on his nose. His nose is always "I've had a raging cold all winter long" red. I'm curious as to how he'd look in real life without it. On the other hand, he'll wear eyeliner which is pretty hot.

For some of us, it's just something fun that we do. I can get out the door in ten minutes, much to the amazement of my husband. He goes upstairs and rifles through the laundry for pants and a clean(ish) shirt, and I saunter out of the bathroom, all done up.

Goddammit, CDC, you too?

Lots of makeup = noticeable colors to a guy.

The idea is to turn penis wrappers into a status symbol. Like, "I heard Eric has the new Air LeBron condoms." || "What?! I need to get me some of them."

As usual, the actual science is a bit more interesting. Scientists were actually trying to find out what happens if someone didn't have the TAS1R3 protein (a receptor subunit that helps you taste both "sweet" and "umami") and GNAT3 protein (which is a subunit in the receptor for basic taste). So, doing what science…

She'll absorb it... Real-life Katamari...

I wish that were true.

I just woke up, and I'm a little late to the party, but oh well. Sorry if I make zero sense.

I've had this conversation a few times here in the UK as well, but I think it links really closely to school pride and well...depending on the area, there's shit-all else to do. I grew up in a small southern town and on a Friday night, you were at the local stadium watching football, because there was NOTHING. ELSE.…

There were two series where racism raised it's head. The first was the celebrity issue where a Bollywood star was called Shilpa "Poppadom" and "the indian" and her race/nationality was made the focus of bullying from a group of people within the house. It was ugly and unpleasant to watch. Whilst racism was a factor,…

Bullshit. Don't explain to me what my life experience is based on you not knowing it. It happens all the fucking time and in this case, it's done to women to a disproportionate degree as a form of misogyny. I honestly don't care if you've noticed, since it's done to me and it's pathetic when it happens. When guys do…

That's shit-testing. It's a way for them to feel superior to someone via No True Scotsman. The way that it manifests with the Fake Geek Girl meme, though, is to test on obscure things that the tester knows while additionally rejecting any value placed on other things known, and even sometimes the tester being…

Biyotch, please. The 1% of the time that I'm stunning (as opposed to the rest of the time, when I'm in the closest thing I own to sweatpants that I can still wear to work), I still have more feels about Battlestar Galactica than anyone else in the room. ;)
