Mean Girls reference...I love it!

I heart you :)

Confession time! When I got accepted to grad school, I decided to drive myself all the way to NJ. You know, enjoy a soul-searching, find-yourself kind of road trip like in the movies. I got so stressed out that my period came early during the night and I woke up in a hotel bed covered in blood from the waist down. …

I had already met him and gone on a date. We continued to talk online because it was an easy way to communicate late at night. I understand the point you made, but even if I had never met him, how is someone else's dishonesty my fault? Why would it be my just dues to have to learn a lesson when he should have been…

Kind of related story...

I was 24 and felt like it would NEVER happen for me....but you what? It did! I started to talk to people more, went on a few dates, and when it felt right, I did it. Not all of my experiences were exactly pretty, but they helped make me who I am. I eventually found the love of my life and now we are engaged to be…

@Princess Adora aka She-ra: I am so sorry to hear that your friend was raped but I am glad that she has a good friend like you to help her through this experience.

I am pro-choice, have the greatest empathy for rape victims, and absolutely believe that women should be in control of their own bodies including the termination of unwanted pregnancies. But I cringe every time I hear that a woman wants to abort her fetus simply because she…

I had a college professor (white male in his late 30s) announce to a classroom of women-only students at a women's college that Condi wasn't a real woman because she never married or had children. He asserted that a woman did not have the full experience of being a woman unless she was a wife or mother. To hear…

I just got engaged last night and let me tell you, blue Avatar men will not be included in the decor list!

@Penny: Right on!

I am close with my brother and we went down to Disney World for a vacation, just the two of us, a few years ago. Needless to say, we walked onto the Magical Express bus and the bus captain loudly congratulated us on being on our honeymoon. We murmured that we are brother and sister and instead of saying anything to…
