Who knew all it took to get tenure at Harvard was a working knowledge of female anatomy, thongs, and bacteria?!

I think you've hit the nail on the head. Or the troll on the nose. Or whatever.

There's fecal bacteria everywhere. If you leave you toothbrush in the bathroom, I guarantee you there is fecal bacteria on it. Contact with fecal bacteria is unavoidable, and not necessarily dangerous.

Yessss. Also I managed to like rip the lace off of them in like 2 wears. Either they are very flimsy or I am underwearing wrong.

RIGHT? Of all the styles of underwear, these are by far the worst. I feel like maybe I said something nasty about their sister in a past life, the way they come at me.

You are a special unicorn, I think. My extremely scientific polling of my friends showed that all of them had the same problems I do with this style. So, I say take your ass out to lunch and thank it for not being a panty-gobbler, because many of us do not have that luxury!

Agreed. Maybe my ass is just odd or something, but it seems like pretty much any pair of undies I wear ends up wedged in there, so the one with the least fabric (thong/g-string) is far and away the most comfortable. Do other people's underwear not move?

Um, I am a lady, and I wear thongs, and I work in healthcare, so yes, I do actually understand all of those things. No one's asscheeks are covered in poo. And if they were, it would be their pants, not their thongs that were getting covered in shit. Even if you wipe perfectly, there will always be fecal bacteria in…

I'm sorry, but have you ever worn a pair of those? And/or is your ass magical? Because I I bought a couple foolishly thinking they were the perfect middle ground between thongs and non-thongs. OH THE WEDGIES THEY WROUGHT.

Between this and your other comment, I am concerned that you do not understand (a) how female anatomy works, (b) how thong underwear works and/or (c) how bacteria works.

I am with you. I wear a big ole pair of granny panties to bed, but they're practically shorts they're so big. When I am wearing actual clothes, I VASTLY prefer a thong. I have tried every fucking style of 'normal' underwear on the planet, and I jsut end up with a wedgie. A thong kind of just nestles in there and…

You are a visionary.

Aww, you just made mine! Yay for Jezebel connections! This obviously something I care about, so thanks so much for donating!!

Hey, crazypants people on the #HobbyLobby hashtag—THIS is why it matters that women have a broad range of contraceptive options. No, it doesn't fucking matter that there "are still 14 birth control options" available to Hobby Lobby employees. If there is only one that works for a woman, she fucking NEEDS that one.

Those people are stupid! The best BC is whatever BC works for you and that you'll use. Send this link to them next time they're judgmental. Their tax dollars (via USAID) are helping to fund development of this baby: http://www.path.org/projects/silcs…

You're actually kind of cutting edge! A bunch of money is being put into developing a new diaphragm that is one-size fits most and might be able to be combined with a microbicide to prevent HIV transmission. So you're basically ahead of the curve!

Oh fuck off.

Is there a biography of her you'd recommend? I've read articles about her/her wikipedia page, but any reccs for something more in-depth?

I don't know, I think property damage, assault, peeing in public, saying racist things, mistreating animals, and being an all-around asswipe are pretty abbhorrent. If we're setting the bar at "isn't a rapist" I think we're setting it a little too low.

You guys, it doesn't matter if he's terrible! He could be so much MORE terrible, so let's throw him a parade for staying just this side of a felony!
