OMG that guy looks exactly like my mischievous cousin Jake. I wouldn’t put it past him to do something like this..... Time to go catch up and see what he's up to...

Please please please please! Would watch the shit out of that.

Someone's been bingeing Bojack Horseman and wants to usher in the new age of Hollywoo.

Oh! Thank you thank you! It's maybe a bit silly but you 100% made my week! :)

Well, both secretions in question are highly valued in the perfume industry and have been for centuries. It’s such a tiny amount, my thought is that it makes a sorbet that has a slight musk/sexy kind of scent, in an unplaceable way. You can still buy musk candy in France, my husband is fond of them though I generally…

I count chatrooms, things like yahoo games (lol), icq, message boards. I got Facebook in college when it was just a few universities, for the sole purpose of stalking party people and bragging about being wild myself (hah how times change). It’s profound, the sudden new ways we could connect with depraved strangers, I…

Exactly. My older late 30s friends make Seinfeld cracks and I politely try to laugh, but my younger friends watch/have watched the same things I did at their age/now.

....the point of her piece is to show she had flawed expectations, no good roadmap, and how that played out and her moving/growing past it...

Yep. I’m 31 and consider myself the oldest side of the millenials, because social media/internet was a huge part of my coming of age years. Got dialup when I was 14. I know that remembering dialup makes me a relative old-timer, but my young adulthood was also dramatically influenced and shaped by the dawning of…

Hahaha yes and those “gonna leave me hanging??” Dudes are usually the same ones who roll over and snooze after cumming without a thought of reciprocation.

I think you read the setup and missed the epiphany.

It’s the ones who like “being treated like women” who are squawking the loudest, you know it.

Exactly!

Cycle back to the only story her mother told her about men- the immense betrayal of discovering her bf masturbating to playboy... And their subsequent breakup.

But when you are that tougher girl and you see the other girls loving being treated that way, you do feel very superior.

Rude in a heartless adolescent way. I think she showed that, and her understanding that it was part of the problem. No one, however saintly they become in later life, no one gets through teen years without visiting some rude stupidity on at least one *someone*.

An excellent podcast came out on this last year. http://www.stufftheydontwantyoutoknow.com/podcasts/what-… and yep probably long haul truckers/predatory types who recognize easy prey... :-(

Thank you, and agreed. I’m an American, I was a freshman in college and was struck by a car. True, I was jaywalking, but it laid me out and I had to go to hospital for scans etc. they gave me good pain meds and sent me away after three hours. The bill was $21,000. I had no insurance and was at school on scholarships.…

Ding ding ding!

I agree, very slightly, with your main thesis but the way you write makes it sound like you just beat the snot out of your kid and feel guilty about it. You talk like my own mom. Also, the writer of the essay is a man, so, thereyago.
