Those boots are nice Dodai but for me it's all about the jacket.

I agree with you, but maybe for a different reason. I worked in a prison for almost two years on a "transparency and accountability" project. Basically, whenever something happened in the prison (from missing spoons to murder) my team would have to interview everyone involved.

Ray Rice gets two weeks (initially).

I'm sending this to my cousin. She insists on telling her toddler that her vagina is called her "body" and now the kid is so confused and freaked out when people use body to mean what it actually does that it is sad and potentially extremely dangerous. Not to mention, it is utterly disturbing on many levels to reduce

BAM. All the stars to you today Tracy, all the stars!!

We've always used the proper terms with our kiddo (I'm a biologist, I'm not going to call it a wee-wee or a hoo-haa or whatever). She was then told by other kids she was saying "bad words." Her teacher started to tell her not to say those and she proudly said "My mommy says those are the right words and not to use

It hurts more for lesbians because same-sex relationships (and especially lesbian relationships) are not valued in the same way as straight relationships.

The last time, it was nearly impossible to get the person with the symptoms to the hospital because she

I can't afford to go to the hospital every time I have discomfort in my torso or trouble sleeping.

Not in a snotty way, but — how old are you? Because I remember the entirety of the 80s and 90s being taken up with hand-wringing about why The Young People weren't embracing the label of feminism. Heck, when Lilith Fair was happening, Sarah McLachlan was all over the place explaining that this wasn't a *feminist*

"Stupid lasagna" is a perfect term.

I'm at the point where I star your articles without even reading them. (I did read it after I starred it though). Another great piece. I'm ENDLESSLY amused that this woman is still doubling down on "if you read my piece you would get that it's a compliment." Pro-tip: If the subject of your compliment feels insulted,

Well, I think even completely tiny boobs have some room for an implant, but the sternum is a pretty small area with kind of taut skin. I imagine putting an implant in there would be like having a sports bra type uni-boob, but like under your skin....
