It might be that making a lot of babies is not the point. If you have a small area to live in, or a limit of food or safety, it would be much better to have a lot of adults caring for a smaller number of children.

I agree. Very well said. I'll have to think about this one.

The record shouldn't matter. We really don't have some magic permanent record that follows us around our whole lives. It might get passed around that school district, but it shouldn't negatively affect the rest of her life at all.

Lucy Lui's dress was far and away my favorite. She gets points for risk taking too.

I guess I never really thought about it that hard, because it was sex and you weren't supposed to think about it.

Nope! I was told that I would 'fit together with my husband in a special way after marriage.' So, considering I was already growing strange new parts no one talked about, I saw nothing wrong with the idea that I would grow another new part only after marriage. This new part, I assumed, would be for making babies. Obvi.

I think it's important to note that this was in a response to a question that was basically "Why don't you have a huge ego?" With that considered the answer makes more sense. It's almost as if context matters to quotes.

Some women make more than some men so equality! Logic! Balloons!

And so many of them end up winning because of it! Oh wait no. The other thing.

Mouse for sure. Also I had pet mice and they are pretty smart. However, like cats, they use their knowledge for evil and can't be bothered to please humans.

I recently got engaged. Now my ads are forever wedding dress shops and spanx. Spanx as far as the eye can see.

Oh good it wasn't just me!

It seems sad to limit men to a singular positive adjective. Isn't that a kind of misandry? Shame.

My mother's dog was a puppy mill mom. She sits sideways because she couldn't sit like a normal dog for years. The wire of the bottom of the cage wouldn't allow it. Now she's happy and healthy, but she still sits like that.

How many 'nice guys' does it take to screw in a light bulb? None. They'll just compliment it and then get angry when it won't screw.

Except that it IS about being masculine. The whole thing. That's what it says. And it specifically defines it as not-female.

I don't understand it either.

You monster.

Well said. I feel completely the same way.

I thought the ancient Lord Tully sort of arranged it though. Maybe that was insinuated and not stated though. *pushes glasses back on nose*
