Often being with a man means, for douchey catcallers, that the woman is that guy's territory and they stay quiet. Blech.

A group of men waving it at a specific woman stuck in her car in a traffic jam? Yeah, that's something that would be scary.

How are you being nice if you are doing something that fulfills you but is unwelcome, as evidenced by the fact that women don't respond? It also was, in grandma's day, polite for children to never speak until spoken to, and the man was the head of the household. I'm not clinging to those "good manners" either.

To simplify it, if you don't know someone, don't compliment them. That takes much (certainly not all) of the guesswork away.

It seems like you aren't interested in how the other people feel, or the fact that some people (not you) use innocuous compliments to start a conversation and connection, and often ignoring them is what people do to avoid taking the risk. Sure, you seem like a Nice Guy, but why should women have to assume everyone is…

If you don't train your dog, it will continue behavior that it likes (such as barking). Some dogs looooove to bark. Without intervention, they will bark all day long. Yes, yelling is counter-production. BUT Yelling at it to stop is not the only possible answer. When my dog kept barking when told quietly and clearly to…

I haven't seen the Girls one, so I have no POV on that—I do wish one of the Sex and the City ladies had had one during the time of the show—-but Carrie and Samantha talked openly in that episode about having them and that being the right choice at the time.

Our cat pretty much hid for the first two years with our kid—now he emerges occasionally while she is awake and ghosts around the house. As soon as she's asleep he comes out and needs love.

I'm worried that somehow I already have purchased jewelry that's been through someone :(

Somebody's jealous that they didn't think of this idea!

So—-is that a picture of your thesis? And is it a poop sculpture?

Thank you! I will absolutely try it like that!

How on earth does one make quinoa right? Every time I've tried—because I believe people like you! It's been sooooo awful. How do you do it?!

Mmmm...sacrilicious.

Does your mother want to adopt a woman in her 30s? I'm asking for a friend...

I had an elective C-section due to severe panic attacks related to labor. Since it's much more predictable than labor, I could handle the idea of surgery while the idea of labor was just impossible for me. While there was some recovery, often times the people who have awful recoveries after C-sections are really…

One of those has already died—but I suspect resurrection...

To quote a billboard I once saw while driving through a rural rural rural area of the South, "Worship on Sunday is the mark of the Beast."

"Chinky Winky" makes me picture a gay Asian Teletubby.

One aspect of why bc should be covered that no one (that I saw—apologies if I'm wrong!) pointed out that, as birth control is, at this point, only medication for women, and the health costs (as well as financial legally unless you go to court for child support. Obviously with a partner that isn't a douche this isn't…
