I know! When I finished it, I laid it down on the table and said, "Well played, Ms. McLean, well played." And then I went back and re read all the other ones and dammit, I don't normally miss things like that. I'm a librarian, so I have romance paperbacks all over the place from work. Hawkins, Quinn, Milan....have…

This is why I got so pissed off listening to critics of women serving on combat front lines. They would go on about how "what would happen if they were captured? Women would be raped" and I realized that their concern for women wasn't that they would get raped, but the possibility that the enemy might get to enjoy…

That rape frat, unsurprisingly, is a chapter of the same frat George W. Bush belonged to. During the 2000 and 2004 US presidential elections, those guys wore their Bush/Cheney buttons all over our fine Canadian campus. It was.....deeply unsettling.

Eww. Just eww. As a JHS teacher, allow me to be very clear: if a student shows any kind of inappropriate interest (and sometimes they do), YOU BE THE ADULT. You tell them it is not appropriate. You arrange for the two of you to never be alone in the same space. You let your department head/supervisor/administrators…

Contigo Autoseal, hands down.

Lots of people at the office I used to work (engineering/construction firm) at had these. A coworker got me one for Christmas and I officially became a member of the cult for these things.

They're indestructible, mine has survived lots of drops and knocks from roof of a car onto gravel. …

Pandas that want privacy shouldn't do this in front of a camera. Slutty pandas deserves what they get. They are all attention whores anyway.*

Beats, shoots and leaves.

I dunno, I kind of like this one...

As a Canadian, can we please have Stephen Harper top this list?

They grab a mic and announce loudly, SOMEONE HAS PUT A DATE RAPE DRUG IN MY DRINK. LADIES, PLEASE PUT YOUR DRINKS DOWN UNTIL WE FIND THE PERSON WHO IS DOING THIS. BARTENDER, PLEASE LOCK THE DOORS.

It wasn't an intentional confession, but it was a confession. If we lived in a world in which people understood the difference between consent and surrender, anyway.

One day I was sitting on the bus behind a girl with headphones on with a guy started calling her "Blondie," and just generally telling her how he'd like to get to know her. He wasn't particularly crude about it, but it was clear his attention was unwelcome. But he kept trying, and she kept replying in monosyllables…

He was obviously confused with how cats mate. I suppose his penis is barbed like a cat's, as well.

Mmm, probably not, I think the idea is that they're pushing for greater transparency about what type of information is being relayed and by whom in the public school system, particularly as it concerns sex-ed. I don't think the complaint gets dropped simply because the class has been cancelled.

This is sort of…

EVEN IF SHE IS OVULATING! YOU ONLY NEED ONE SPERM. WHAT HAPPENS TO THE REST OF THEM?!

So, I never comment here, but I had to on this one. I study sexual assault on college campuses (I'm doing a PhD in Higher Education Administration with the hopes of working in Student Affairs and helping to create real change). I've just completed an extensive literature review on bystander intervention trainings on…

In early stages of development, all fetuses start out as Republicans. This is why women usually experience nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy.

The Dove commercials that tout body acceptance really worked on me, even though they tend to be a bit cheesy at times. I think it's almost on a subliminal level because I exclusively buy Dove deodorant now, even though I have no real reason why I should prefer Dove over another brand.

Congrats on the job offer!!!
