Kate Winslet in some movie had the best fake aussie accent I've ever heard. Pretty much dead on. Aside from that though, you're right. People can't replicate the AU accent and they shouldn't try MY EARS MY EARS

I went to a specialist skin cancer clinic a few months ago to get all my moles checked. The derm told me that moles do change naturally over time, and it's (usually) not a problem — moles age like everything else on your body. The problem moles tend to be ones that change RAPIDLY, so visible changes over the course of…

I always wanted one of those. I never got one and hence my childhood was a wasteland of disappointment and broken dreams.

No, actually, it is the WHOLE point. Men will go to extraordinary lengths to prey on women (remember the guy who camped out in a septic tank as reported here not long ago?).No one with half a brain cell disputes this. If there is an loophole which predatory men can exploit, which allows them to more easily prey on…

There's no shortage of predatory men in the world, mentally ill or not.

Did you read my original comment about Christopher Hambrook? It is NOT a baseless concern. A predatory man (who already had a history of sexual assault, including against a 5 year old girl) falsely claimed a trans identity in order to prey on vulnerable women.

"There is not other legal precedent for denying a group of people a right based on a handful of examples where people of that group were bad"

Clothes are kinda different from a restaurant, because you don't have to eat out - you can make your own food at home. In contrast, most people cannot make their own clothes, and people need to wear something. I'm not plus sized, but even I struggle to find nice loathes that fit me right. I know it must be much worse…

Yeah. I read this part:

I don't know. In Duggar's case it's possible her resistance stems from both her conservative christian-based intolerance (which should be called out for the bullshit it is), AND a genuine concern for child safety. People are complex like that.

One thing I hate is how it's really hard to find reasonably priced skinnies which aren't jeggings. I like my jeans to feel like jeans, but most chain store "jeans" are made of incredibly flimsy fabric these days. Even a few years ago it seemed there were more options in stores like H&M, zara etc. Now all they carry is…

It's not a theoretical threat. It's already happened.

Commiserations :(

Same with Australia.

I have started smoking again. And damn straight I am blaming him (when I don't hear from him for days I drown my sorrows with a pack of malboroughs). Yea, I really have to put an end to this nonsense.

Ugh. I have the exact same thing going on. I get pissed off with his non response, delete the thread, delete his number out of my fucking phone, even, and then magically he reappears. It's so frustrating. I know for my own mental health I should excise him from my life completely, but "I just can't quit you", etc.

when I was a teen my family had a cat that was very protective of me. When my first boyfriend visited, the cat would plant himself on the armrest of the chair my boyfriend was sitting in, and just STARE at him, with big creepy staring cat eyes, like "don't try no funny business, boy". He never did this with any other…

Thanks so much for your bravery in speaking about this stuff.

No, sex is indeed binary. Sex is only a meaningful biological classification in respect to reproductive role, and there are two of those - the sperm-maker, and the egg-maker/gestator/lactator). Individual bodies are not binary, because a tiny minority of people are intersex, but they do not belong to a sex unto…

If you're going to write about gross stuff (which I have no problem with, in theory) why can't it at least be relevant to women? Less semen-related stories and more stories about vaginal discharge for fucks sake.
