@EsmereldaFitzmonster: I was definitely relieved when Rory didn't end up with Logan—besides the fact that he's a completely worthless tool, I was always distressed at the way she seemed to become WEAKER as she got older. Seriously: watch the first two seasons, when she's routinely kicking ass and taking names, and

Please let's do this every day.

@sympathyforthedevil: Hmmm...I know I would do kinky things FOR cheese. Does that count?

Why can't girls be trusted to think up questions for the spirit world on their own? Or is it we can't be trusted to think up sufficiently stereotypical and gendered questions?

@GatsbysLover: I love this assumption, too. The bachelor party my fiance's friend had involved getting trashed, going to a minor league baseball game, and throwing out the first pitch. He didn't want strippers? His nearest and dearest friends in the world didn't give him shit—they just gave him a party he might ENJOY

@clevernamehere: Right? If you hate marriage, don't fucking propose. And you know these guys proposed, because all their buddies would laugh at them if they accepted a proposal from their feminist, Mom-wannabe girlfriends.

@Oceanic: What does taking someone's name have to do with the kinds of "gender" roles that involve pregnancy? That's a SEX role. It requires a UTERUS. One partner taking another's name doesn't require a damn thing. And if we're going to start arguing things this way, shouldn't MINE get to be the family name since I

@oh.geez.: Well, I was trying to draw a line between abuse that might constitute "sexual stimulation" (rape) and abuse that might not (GIVING oral sex).

@BeckySharper: I haven't read the actual study, but I hope "sexual abuse" is defined more precisely. There's a difference—in terms of the kind of physical trauma that seems to be referred to here—between being repeatedly raped at a young age and, say, being compelled to perform oral sex.

@Kenyakarma: I did. Admittedly, I was 17, and there was definite goofy awkwardness that comes with not knowing wtf you're doing, but still: funtimes. BC + nice boys/girls = funtimes.

Preach. I have had exactly one boyfriend (/fiance) for the past seven years. My only boyfriend, and only the second boy I've ever kissed (the stats are about the same for him). Why? Because it's worked for us. People—often near strangers—hear this and have no problem telling me to my face that I should "run

@Princess Leela: I work in the department of an educational publisher that works with school districts when they want to purchase large goods/services (which can get complicated when you're paying for things with government money). In this capacity, it has been my experience that FLORIDA DOES EVERYTHING WRONG.

@mmj200: And does one slipup mean your monogamous relationship has FAILED? Isn't that like saying that spelling quiz you flunked in third grade negates your entire 13 years of schooling? It ignores the thousands of other successes had throughout the relationship.

@Your Screenplay Sucks: But even that seems nonsensical. Lots of people have OPEN marriages: all the benefits of marriage, none of the monogamy, none of the LYING. Monogamy's never been an enormous deal to me—I've always practiced it but have no inherent need for it—but dishonesty IS. It's never cool to deceive

@missteenwordpower is your sexy Ms. Magoo.: Although: while I go perhaps absurdly out of my way to respect the privacy of people I know, I totes eavesdrop on people in public places, and generally have trouble turning my ambient-listening off. When it's at a restaurant and the people at the next table are on a first

Wait, isn't listening to what's being said around you—when it's not being said TO you—eavesdropping by definition?

@jemandtheholograms: One wonders. Wouldn't the country be equally "cleansed" if you just killed them?

@envirodesigner: Right? What kind of "states' rights" do we have when we get shut down by f-ing Utah?
