I'm not sure why we need to talk about men, in this instance. There is a significant difference between talking about something that *maybe* a small percentage of men experience *intermittently* in the course of their lives and that they likely hide or play down because it is understood to be a-typical — and writing…

Oh my god, sobs. Full body sobs.

I hate, hate, hate that song so much that it has actually caused me to hate this Trainor person. In general I dislike the New England prep look, which could explain why the video also makes me want to hit something. I think what really did it for me was seeing another video of hers and thinking they had just dubbed…

I agree with your point that where you are trained has a huge impact on your future opportunities. And I also agree with an earlier comment that pointed out that you really can't work without an advanced degree. I don't necessarily think that we need to be out recruiting young people, though I will note that the…

Little late to the game on this one, but I'm a trained sociocultural anthropologist and I work on violence and religious extremism. I am getting calls left and right from various governments to help them figure out what the hell is going on in places like Kenya and Syria. Sociocultural 'soft' anthropology is critical…

I moved abroad a few years ago, and now I'm in a civil partnership with a French man. We are both terrified of the idea of moving back to the US. The last time we went for a visit, my partner was nearly debilitated, any time we were in public, by the notion that anyone in the space around him could have a concealed…

This. I have had numerous, NUMEROUS Ohioans try to feed me this dog kibble. Each one of them tells me to stop being a snob, which is rich, because I'm from Utah. Every single time I've capitulated I've felt like my teeth were wearing a sweater, because the fat and preservatives wrap themselves around my molars. I've…

I also want to add that Effy was Katniss in my head before the movies were cast, so the whole thing worked really well for me, visually.

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO LOVED FREDDIE! This man is the pinnacle of perfection to me.

When I was single, love for 'The Fountain Head" was pretty much at the top of my list.

You are not alone. Something about her whole persona gives me the willies.

This is my favorite sad day pick me up. It's a video of a baby elephant trying to be brave. It will lead you to a million other baby elephant photos, which is also pretty much the best thing ever. I might be biased, because I think elephants make everything better. Then again, this little guy did later snot all over…

Ha! I am not terribly excited by either, to be honest, but biscuits do have a kind of homey, seasonal appeal. I assume that's sort of the appeal of Yorkshire puddings for most Brits as well. Biscuits aren't eggy, which I prefer, but I honestly think it's a total toss up. I am not just being diplomatic.

I agree, I mean more in the way that they are used, I guess? As in a baked bread-y item that is eaten with savory dishes like stews and roasts. But I agree they are more like our popovers in taste and consistency. That said, scones are not really like biscuits at all in taste I find so I'm short another option.

I just came here to say that. I live in the UK now but am originally american. Yorkshire pudding is the closest thing to an American biscuit, though they are more eggy, like german pancakes, whereas american biscuits are dense on the inside.

What if being high made Sarah Palin frighteningly well spoken and intelligent - kind of in the 'expect the opposite' sense? Would we be surprisingly pleased or frightened? Discuss.

Oh that they want people to keep their appendages. There are a lot of things that stick out behind a coffee bar - both rings and bracelets can get caught. I've just started wearing an engagement ring and the number of times I've yanked it on something accidentally already convinces me that I'm going to loose the…

I did mean *Dodai* but either my icicle fingers did not cooperate or autocorrect is scheming against me again. I suspect the latter...

1) YES, I WILL COME, THANK YOU FOR INVITING ME and 2) I want you to be more of like, a Lisa Frank style Uterus, but otherwise I'm happy to endorse you on LinkedIn for this as needed.

I've always been a lurker over on io9 and I like edutainment articles in general, so that could be what I like about some of the new stories, too. I guess I'm saying the jury is still out, but stories like this one give me hope?
