My boyfriend cried last night. I think it was the first time in our two and a half years together I've seen him cry.

@SarahMC: Well-played.
@sybann: My thought, exactly.
I have seen both Jemaine and Bret walking around my neighborhood.
@SarahMC: I'm with you. Also, in general, I think it is wrong to teach children intolerant views, and right to teach them tolerance of others. So if I teach my kids what I believe, I am doing the right thing, while forcing bigotry on children is wrong.
Begins slow clap for Jill Filipovic.
I arrived at my polling location this morning to find we had been relocated because of a problem with equipment. The line at the new place reached almost around the block. Then, when I got inside, I learned that, as I had suspected, the Board of Elections had not received my change of address form, so I had to fill…
"New research claims that there is a direct correlation between the number of places to buy alcohol in a neighborhood and the amount of male on female domestic violence in that neighborhood."
@KittenFluff: Also my close friend who has a trust fund and a rich lawyer husband emails me every day about stuff she's planning to buy. I make twice as much money as her and I have to think twice before buying anything.
@SarahMC: No, I have nothing but positive associations with your boyfriend, from what you've said about him in the past. Plus I think everything he has said is fair. I wouldn't want to have joint finances with my boyfriend at this point because of my debt; I don't want my credit to affect his.
@SarahMC: I am in a similar relationship. What is worse is that I make more money than my boyfriend, but he is just better with it than I am.

And I worked for the local rape crisis center, which also took calls about sexual harassment. I realize the plural of anecdote isn't facts, but overall I…
She must have been really wasted. That's the only explanation I can think of.
@rollergirl76: Wow, I really want to see that.
@morninggloria: I didn't see your comment before adding my own below. That was where my mind went, too. I love Susan Faludi.
I remember reading a section in Backlash about how Fatal Attraction started out as what was supposed to be a film with a feminist message and then turned into a story about a crazy woman. I wish I had the book with me because I cannot remember the details.
This is why the Girls cannot break up. Bridget would have put together a much better costume for Kendra.
@Dodai: No way — you look like you're in your late 20s!
Sending nothing but good thoughts Niki's way. She's had a lot of shit thrown at her over the years... her sister's death, narrowly surviving a car accident, etc.
I was thinking earlier that something similar could totally happen with JuicyCampus. The type of shit they are saying on that site could definitely lead someone to commit suicide.
