I'm fine as long as I don't think about it. That's why I can't watch the tv show. I'm gonna try and take a leaf from your book tho!

Yeah. I feel like he's a third of the way in at best.

I am so with you on this. I started reading the books because I thought it was a trilogy and when I got through the first three to find there were more, I was over the moon... until I finished all of them and the waiting began. I can't bring myself to watch the tv show cos every time I do it just makes me really…

And yet, topless models giving their 'insights' on daily news topics are perfectly acceptable in easily accessed newspapers http://nomorepage3.org/

Um. What does how many of them and how much booze there was have to do with anything? I'm from the good old UK where we're allowed to drink from 18 years old and went to many unsupervised parties where we got absolutely off our faces on alcohol. Didn't witness any gang rapes as a result. It's true that alcohol lowers…

I worked in a bar/restaurant with an assistant manager who hated people - no lie, she HATED people, all people: old, young, parents, couples, families just all of them. This meant that she was regularly extremely rude and unwelcoming to customers and it was often awkward and embarrassing for the rest of the staff.

Nice. I think I"m gonna enjoy that comparison far more in future.

This reads more like a list of 'things that, if I manage to do them, will make me feel a little bit like I'm managing not to let the side down.'

I get told I look like her too. And have the same reaction! I've also been told I look like childkiller-enabler Maxine Carr (British woman who gave a false alibi for her murderous boyfriend and had to be given a new identity when she was released from jail) - yay!

Oh my days! That's Robin Wright in The Princess Bride?? Wow. I've never been particularly interested in her either way, but that was before I realised she's in my favourite ever film! Oh and she's great as Claire Underwood.

These restaurants aren't for women, they're at women.

I get sent dick pics and I never have the heart to give my honest reaction (which is normally a lot of laughter or and exclamation of 'ew'). This is in a 'relationship' where sexting is one of our methods of communication so it's not creepy or unexpected that I would receive them. I think he thinks I like them and…

Love the comic strip

Thanks for a detailed and helpful response. I will do a little more research and probably take her up on the vaccine offer if my next smear is clear. I believe the thinking in the UK is that once you have been exposed to the virus it is too late to vaccinate so it is not offered as standard. I am glad that it is…

In the UK, they only give the HPV vaccine to teenage girls and once you've had sex you're on your own. Having had 2 abnormal smears and 2 colposocopies and removals of cells in the past 3 years, I'm pretty concerned about my cervical health. I recently moved to Central America and have had a clear smear. My doctor…

Loved him in Hook. Sad sad news

I was a teenager of the 90s and it never occurred to me as an issue until I was swimming - probably aged 17 - and a boy told me to 'sort out' my bikini line. At the time, I was mostly annoyed with him for looking, but it set me on that path. I've wavered over the years from keeping it trim and tidy and letting it grow…

I don't remember feeling like that. I remember being kind of in awe of it, but just accepted it. I started shaving my legs at about 13 cos I was mocked by someone at school for it and my younger bro started copying me doing it. I remember my mum saying that I was fine to do it, but to do it in private cos he shouldn't…

I'm as open as I dare to be with them (in a Catholic School setting) to try and counter this stuff as much as I can, but it does feel like a losing battle. I just want them to question the choices they're making rather than just accepting it as obligatory.

The boys felt the same way (about girls with hair). It's a whole different debate, I know, but I can't help but think that some of it comes from the fact that so much of their ''sex education'' comes from online porn: as one 14 year old boy patiently explained to me: ''Miss, why would I have posters of girls on my…
