Are you the one who declares the sexuality of fictional characters? Plenty of women who are GAYGAYGAYGAY as you so eloquently put it have had relationships with men before.

Even in law school this point is *whoosh*. Sure, you have to take the same sexual harassment and assault course to enroll as everyone else, but in substantive criminal law classes the discussion of rape is still extremely dated. Some courses include auxiliary material that’s more recent and explores concepts like…

To each their own. I can understand that worry. I made the point I did because a lot of new parents, almost always moms, seem to resent their loss of shower/shit time. I’m just making the point that it doesn’t make you a bad parent to start enforcing boundaries earlier. The chances of something like that happening are…

.....wwwoooooowwwww. I have no words. You are truly dedicated to your sexist anecdotes for someone who has never been in the situation we’re discussing.

I got some news this week that confirmed what I already knew, but struck me down regardless. I’ve had essentially untreated PCOS (if you don’t count at-home care or natural remedies bc no insurance) for many years, and around 2011 I had an ovarian torsion. I found out last week that my left ovary is essentially a mass…

I’m not a parent and I was really disturbed by this, as well as the fact that he never seemed to think “hey, maybe this isn’t a good idea” during the long-ass process of setting the “prank” up.

No, you’re right, fuck this guy. You don’t play pranks about things like that.

My family’s lakehouse is out in the middle of nowhere, and the property is approved for ATV use. The HOA sends out fearful notices about twice a year about people going over the speed limit, too-young kids operating too-big vehicles, too many people on an ATV, etc. Nothing really changes. The HOA really tries to warn…

SO OK THAT STORY ABOUT THE MOTHER NEEDS HER DINNER VERY VERY....VERY....HOT AN BURNS HER GODDAMNED FINGERPRINTS OFF IS SOME MOMMY DEAREST HEATHEN SHIT

Now if only they made a shade for us ghost toned people :*)

*re-reads the last few sentences*

I’m afraid of this happening with my best friend. I’ve talked to a mutual friend about it, who feels it even harder than I do, because whenever she gets a boyfriend it’s ALL SHE TALKS ABOUT and unless we’re willing to take them as an item, the friendship might as well not exist. I really hope she winds up with someone…

Once the wedding ring is on, it’s like an unspoken thing with so many straight men that they reduce their female friends to acquaintance status unless the friend is also attached and the new wife is okay with being couples’ friends. It puts both women in a rough place, because you also don’t want to mess with your…

One of my friends just got bangs as a result of a terrible breakup with a guy who hated bangs. She looks really good with them.

You bring up the right questions. If these had not been events where property was damaged and people could be seen by those not at the party, there wouldn’t be an issue and the authorities would be way out of line. If they hadn’t charged entry, it would have changed the case a LOT. However, it’s impossible to ignore…

I’ll probably get flamed for this, as has been the custom lately, but I’m with her. If you’re easily offended or know the book is going to cover a sensitive subject for you (like rape), don’t buy it. It’s not that hard. She’s saying if you only want to read the book to criticize her, don’t waste your time. It gets…

By the rules of the school, which they sign an agreement to keep, they have to wait until evening when ALL activities are done. Of course, kids don’t get the nuances of all that and just see two authority figures saying different things. I’m loving the hyper defensive parents responding to this, even the ones being so…

It’s the screen itself, I’m not familiar with the papergray model though so it might use the same lighting as the paperwhite (not the same as blue light on smartphones/tablets/computer screens). What’s on the screen, and the psychological effect, is secondary, although I’ll say firsthand that even the best students…

See, this is the situation I see a lot more often that is being blissfully ignored here. If your kid is screaming in a restaurant or running up and down grocery aisles because you’re zoned out on the phone, you need to wake the fuck up.

Yeah, even I, the apparent smartphone hating jackass in this conversation, had to do a double take at the word “practice”. My parents never stayed for practice, why would they? My mom always made it abundantly clear that her time wasn’t mine for the taking whenever I felt like it.
