@MelissaMahoney: Loving your bringing the facts.

@introverted_innovator: It's not working right now, but should be back up soon. Spare yourself the horror of the books (everyone) and just read along with Mark Reads Twilight (and all the other books): [markreadstwilight.buzznet.com]
@ericacartman: There's a good chance those things are already banned. I know in The Netherlands things like ski masks aren't supposed to be worn in public. Which is why it confuses me that The Netherlands, too, keeps bringing up laws like this. If covering your face in public is against the law, then face veils are…
@Dallifornia: As far as I know, nuns don't veil their faces.
@GoodBadNotEvil: I wish I could feel this way. It's different when you're in the actual country. If Spain wins, I will be CRUSHED, even if afterward I'll be able to be more objective.
Now please add the "The audience erupted in "huge applause". " thing to the Daily Beast quote.
Supporting The Netherlands, I see. Wise lady.
At least it looks like these people are actually having happy periods.
@roodles: But the reasons are also where we have to find the solutions. You cannot make these things stop happening without making the people who do them stop seeing certain things as "reasons." You can't just ignore them.
@An Army Of Juan: Though these types of crimes are perhaps more prevalent in Middle Eastern cultures today, basically any culture which in essence is a shame culture is open to the perpetration of such acts. As such, it's not uncommon to find references to honor-like killings in medieval British literature, for…
@wooden_shoes: I actually don't have the distaste for the word secretary that some people have, but that's just... Jesus.
On the one hand, this is absolutely hilarious to me because I have dealt with these kinds of secretaries before as an office manager.
@KiddyKat: I love buying tampons, ice cream, chocolate, and red wine. It makes me feel deliciously stereotypical and usually results in understanding smiles from the cashier.
@Kivrin: Besides, I honestly never know my jeans size so I always grab like 4 sizes and try them on. I told this to a sales lady once and she was appalled.
@Samanthrax: You're a better woman than I am. I actually take off whatever didn't fit, get dressed in my regular clothes, put my shoes back on, fix my hair, grab my bag, and only THEN go out and find the right size.
@lucyjae: Ugh, shoes. My shoes are crazy wide and "high," which means that I can pretty much only buy specially made shoes or have to go one size up and then toss them after a year because my feet just won't hang on to them. Shoe shopping is just... Ugh. And NO LADY I DON'T WANT YOU TO HELP ME GET AWAY I WORKED IN A…
Until I found my favourite bra shop, lingerie shops were the WORST. I'm booby, and I can't help that regular chain stores don't really carry my size. But I couldn't shop at plus size stores either, because the rest of my body isn't plus size. So I'd always ask the ladies at the lingerie shop to measure me and bring me…
