I didn't know there was a sequel! I really liked the first one:
"I'm a nerd too"
"Too?"

What is that from? He looks just like Flint Lockwood from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

I'm feeling so much more at peace with my happy-but-underachieving life since reading Tracy's article from Friday: http://jezebel.com/some-ladies-ju…
Thank you Tracy.

"However, another part of me feels like Wonder Woman deserves the same type of typical superhero film that most every iconic man-hero has gotten."

Not to separate out - to include. What I'm saying is that I think one reason people might prefer the word woman to female in some contexts is that it is more inclusive (i.e. it includes all adults who identify as being women). I don't think in ordinary life there are people (except arseholes who wouldn't identify a…

I have kids, but I have several voluntarily childless friends. I think their reasons for not wanting kids are far more rational than my reasons for wanting them. Neither of us would dream of trading places with the other, but I don't think either of us has any problem understanding why some of us want kids and some…

Thank you so much for articulating what I really didn't have the energy to say.

Could it be partly because of the distinction between gender and sex? If I am using the terminology correctly, Georgina Beyer, for instance, was a woman politician but not, strictly speaking, a female politician since she was born male.
I wouldn't guess this as the reason this started, but maybe it's a good reason for…

Under the sub-heading of kids: If you were to get pregnant under what circumstances would each of you want to terminate the pregnancy? What would you do if you wanted kids but weren't able to have them or weren't able to have them without help (i.e. would you go to great lengths to get babies - donor gametes, adoption…

My only advice is to hire a wedding dress. I was surprised to find out they still fit it to you so it can still be just right. Besides being half the price of buying, it means you don't have to worry about cleaning or storing it.

And to think that suggesting he might be gay constitutes a criticism!

This one time, at band camp......

I wasn't a child in America, but the animated movie of The Phantom Tollbooth did make its way to me and my sister in New Zealand. It was kind of awful in that it was probably 20 years old by the time we saw it and it felt very dated and a bit too obviously educational - but something about it stuck, so I still get…

I'm having a good old cry over this. I'm looking at my little girls - one of whom is about to start school. She is not only allowed, but required to go to school for at least the next 11 years, where she will be taught mostly by other educated women. We didn't do anything to deserve this good fortune.
It just makes me…

I think you are probably right. My husband also says it makes you feel dreadfully sick, rather than just sore. But the original commentator said you'd be fine if kicked in the groin (as a woman) and it was that that personal experience tells me is false! I suspect a woman getting kicked in the groin is not as bad as a…

"Very thankful for my chiropractor @DrJeffMalucci throughout this pregnancy!!!!! this is my 2nd time this week seeing him ��"

Right. But it's the fact that there are masses of nerve endings in there that makes it so bad, so being kneed in the clitoris, I reckon has a similar effect. The problem with balls I suppose, is that they are prominent.

She perhaps held back a bit in the hope of getting nieces and nephews out of you one day. I was kneed, rather than kicked in the groin by a girl who wished me ill. It was.... bad.

Oh Lordy, my vulva is clenching in support. Whoa...

But we didn't know about testosterone or even semen in the 15th century. Why did they talk about balls in that way back then, do you know? (Genuinely curious - in case my tone is unclear)
