by cringing? I meant "this is a feminist blog, right? then why the fuck would they use the word "pussy" to describe a woman's uterus - rude and not even anatomically correct!" I just really hate the word "pussy" though. So skeezy.

Thank you. "Pussy" in a headline especially made me cringe. I think this woman is doing something really awesome for others!

Oh how I wish this were the policy at my work.

I loved Anne of Green Gables as a kid, read the books multiple times, and when I read the heading of this article I knew immediately what you were talking about, even though I'd never thought to put it in those terms before. This is an excellent article, maybe my favorite you've ever written (and that's saying a lot…

Well, it's clear that I need to re-read it, then.

Yes. Very, very sexist.

I love the taste of s'mores! If the chocolate is rock hard they aren't as good, though, for sure. I usually put them near the fire until they're a little soft before adding the marshmallow.

yeah. it's flavored like kool-aid. If you made your own with juice, it would probably be less gross, although I've never tried it.

There is seriously a vinegar pie? That sounds SOOOOO gross. And I'm with you on Jell-O. Jell-O is basically one of the grossest things ever.

...you could very well be right about this. I'd boycott them if I ever read them to begin with.

I agree. Not cool at all. They should have just fessed up.

I don't believe for a second that was a miscommunication, but it's good to see that public outcry might force them to change their terrible policy.

That's some seriously impressive acting!

hahahahahaha. wow that is amazing.

the lit GRE is really hard! I was freaking out when I was taking it too.

Your sarcasm is showing!
