This isn't chick-lit at all, but it's fun: the Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde.

I am about to acquire two adorable guinea pigs due to fortuitous events!

Wait, how did you do this??! I love them!

Goddamn it. All someone has to do is say the words "werewolf bar mitzvah" and I will have that song stuck in my head for the next month and a half.

On a slightly-related-slightly-unrelated note: how do y'all pronounce clitoris? CLIToris or clitORis, as Gottfried does? Because the latter makes me think of dinosaurs. You know, a stegosaurus, a brontosaurus, a clitoris...

I am going to use this opportunity to give a big shout-out to cap sleeves.

God. people are so negative. Let me re-phrase this for y'all:

Republicans are trying to appeal to their base, I guess... It's never been a partisan issue to get this bill passed before.

The self-reflection isn't who I'm concerned about. It's the MRAs etc who will look at this and be like, "THOSE CRAZY GODDAMN FEMINISTS!"

I agree that I would rather have a pro-woman man than an anti-woman woman in Congress, but I agree with the OP in thinking that having more women in Congress makes a huge difference, even if a chunk of them disagree with me on most things. E. g. in the Senate, no women (even republicans) voted down the non-weaksauce…

That would actually be a horrible title, because the Violence Against Women Act as it currently stands is pretty great. So that would be very confusing. I guess she could have said HR4970, but most people don't know what that is. Instead of "weaksauce" she could have said "watered-down", I guess, but I think this…

Basically, the republicans in the House passed a roleback of the Violence Against Women Act that eliminated certain protections, especially for disadvantaged sections of the population. For example, right now, if you get citizenship based on marrying a US citizen, if you report the abuse, they will notify your abusive…

I am apparently in the minority, but this site actually makes me really uncomfortable. Maybe we don't make a website about how much people fighting for equality suck...?

I took a nutrition class this semester, and one component was a presentation on a controversy in nutrition of our choice. Most of the presentations (including mine) focused on a really negative things. But my two favorites were the one on coffee and the one on green tea because the presenters just kinda concluded,…

Totally different perspective from the other comments responding to you:

I live in Washington. I have only gotten one ticket and it was a few years ago, so maybe the ticket did say that and I was just being dumb... but the cop didn't explain that to me and I certainly thought I was admitting guilt by signing it. In fact, I didn't know that signing it was not admitting guilt until I read…

...except that one of those is horribly dangerous and could result in the death of her fetus, and one is not...?

Dude, not everyone gets a lot of tickets. I didn't know that signing a ticket wasn't an admission of guilt until like ten minutes ago when I started reading this article.
