Had that experience in a college dorm. The floor was coed with one big bathroom with stalled toilets and a bunch of individual shower stalls with curtains. And shockingly enough, a bunch of 18 year old boys turned out to have a few bad apples who were NOT always respectful of naked girls taking a shower just a few…

I have a marble countertop and spent 2 years freaking out about every stain. Then a guy at the tile shop told me that in Europe, they know marble will eventually stain and they’re fine with it, it becomes part of the look. I’m more relaxed now.

What a foxy picture of Amelia. She really just radiated charisma, didn’t she?

Domestic violence shelters often need graveyard shift volunteers. Also look into groups that help domestic violence victims, trafficked women and others get back on their feet through training, clothing, jobs, etc. Sometimes it takes digging to find these places but they’re out there. I was literacy volunteer with a…

That’s so sad. Obviously he meant well but he missed the mark.

I referred to that as the myth they’re buying into, not the reality.

Regarding the “lied to” bit - I find a lot of men buy into the idea of the mid-thirties power flip. That the reason they’re not dating beautiful women in their 20's is because hot women all date older successful men - and that once they’re a little older and successful themselves, they’ll have all kinds of dating…

One way I’ve turned into an old fart: constantly wanting to tell my younger friends about the great actors and movies that somehow didn’t stay well-known. I was talking about Raul Julia and Kiss of the Spider-Woman the other day and the reaction was: Who?

She was also recently profiled in the Paris Review. She definitely is being rediscovered.

There’s a middle ground - telling all kids they can play with barbies or whatever they want and it doesn’t say a thing about their gender. Not saying your kid isn’t trans but it’s kind of weird that twice now you’ve mentioned shaming children over their toy choices as the alternative.

The pictures aren’t great, but the point holds that some pussies have bigger inner labia that protrude no matter what, and some don’t.

My response to my (all too many) “progressive” friends wringing their hands over the right-wing using this to be racist is, “Probably some people will do that, which is all the more reason for us to offer a constructive response that shows how to advocate for women.”

Found this article interesting; apparently Stockholm had some similar attacks last summer and the press stayed quiet about them too.

Maybe they’re told to do that to keep the pace moving? Dunno.

Her “Sit down, you naughty people” was the best part of the night so far.

I think because she contacted him for a job. Otherwise I don’t see an issue here. It sounds like she initiated the flirting -the bedroom floor joke - and it’s entirely possible she had a crush on him and contacted him using a job as an excuse. I know most people will see her as a pure-minded innocent and him as a…

My gynecologist said the same to me. Said it wasn’t just fertility treatments - that she’s seen a dramatic rise in women in their 40’s getting knocked up naturally in the last decade and that she makes a point to warn women who don’t want children that they can still be fertile.

There are a lot of episodes you can safely skip. Google around and you’ll find lists. Some of the conspiracy-based ones get redundant fast and the monster-of-the-week episodes are either really good (like Humbug and Small Potatoes) or bland / pointless like the astronaut one. Other episodes like the Cigarette Smoking…

“Wowtvoffer” is the BEST url ever. There is nothing I don’t love about this. Kris Jenner is the most American TV character who has ever lived. When the aliens come to our burned-out planet centuries from now, they’ll find a statue of her on the White House lawn.

I realize that. My point is that a man who thinks a woman’s smile is an invitation isn’t going to put that together most likely, which puts women in service jobs at risk.
