I don’t think that vacuum exists, and that persistent influence is the reason some sports get divided when they really shouldn’t be. I hope someday women can compete without worrying about harassment or stereotype threat and everyone can agree on playing together.

Biological differences may be a factor, but it’s dangerous to assume it’s a primary one when there’s clearly cultural reasons at play. Koreans dominate certain e-sports, but nobody is suggesting white people have some genetic disadvantage.

That’s a good complaint for the main cluster. For the others, I assumed that having 7 people looking out for you and being able to borrow their knowledge/skills is a quick way to success.

I was ungreyed after a really popular comment that made it near the top of a post - I suspect that the writers only look at the top few comments when they bother looking at any of them. So this sounds pretty cynical, but try to be one of the first people to post on an article and say something you’ll get starred for,…

It depends on whether he’d try to control the decision or not, imo. I dated a guy who definitely did not want me to get an abortion, if the choice came up, and his reasons were understandable. I told him that I still planned to get one if it happened, and that he shouldn’t expect anything else. He made his peace with…

Ehh, I feel like it’s better now, if anything. Remember the defense of the Rolling Stone UVA story or that article about men who use sex toys? Trump is a harder subject to be wrong about.

The officers were not both white.

I liked A Darker Shade of Magic! I thought about recommending it, but the series has a decent bit of romance. Tbh, the book I recommended is a novella, so you could probably read it in one sitting.

No way to do it, as far as I know, but that would be a super useful feature.

Have you read Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan Mcguire? We have a lot of tastes in common, and seems like it’d be right up your alley.

He brings up the erection issues immediately afterward. He’s making a connection, and it’s not clear how recent it is; he said he’s been having the issues awhile.

Oop. Can’t edit, but I meant bad outside of erection issues, not before he started having them.

The letter really wasn’t clear if their sex life was bad before the erection issues - together with his age, I’m kind of surprised the Dr. didn’t talk about what performance anxiety can do to relationships.

I assumed they were at a point where they both expected monogamy, but no one brought up the talk to actually make it official. To me, the letter writer and his gf sounded pretty young.

You’re missing the point. He basically said to not treat women and men differently by assuming women aren’t into games, which is really, really nice for the women who are into them. If that’s something you disagree with - to the point that you have to bring up percentages as if it matters - then of course some people…

The spoiler reviews are the closest thing to his old stuff. :)

Feminism IS about equality. They’re the same thing. 

Was it Topless Robot? The guy who did Fan Fiction Friday is the editor over at io9 now.

You’re definitely not crazy by going with your gut, but a second date may change things. I *almost* didn’t go on a second date with my husband, but my friends made me change my mind. I just hated dating so much that my standards were kind of high to meet; our second date was more active and we talked about deeper…

Chiropractor. Not because I believe in their profession, but guys who exercise all the time don’t match my lifestyle very well.
