This complicates the issue, for sure. I sometimes feel like I'm being harassed, in part, because of my apparent privilege (as a nicely dressed white woman) by men who lack those privileges. I feel like they enjoy making me uncomfortable because they resent me. I'm walking to work; they're hanging out on the street.…

I tip a few bucks. More if the order is large, or if it's one of those tiny places with three tables that are always empty — I always feel bad for the "waiters" in those places because nobody dines in the actual restaurant, so I imagine they're more dependent on tips for carry-out orders.

Exactly. Randomly assign people to have internet access for a year, and then get back to me. Otherwise, this is a perfect example of correlation does not mean causation — you're never going to be able to account for all of the important variables related to having, or not having, internet access.

That sounds difficult and annoying — but the problem isn't really vanity sizing (what they're calling the sizes), but the fact that they've decided that it's not profitable to make clothes in your measurements at all. They're making clothes for the middle of the bell curve, and people on the extremes don't have…

I don't know, I think people who get upset about vanity sizing are way too attached to their dress size number to begin with. It's annoying that I never know my size without trying clothes on — but that's the case even in stores that don't vanity size. You still have to guess and adjust based on the cut of the dress.…

I can't stand that it's considered okay to coerce women into an invasive exam by denying birth control until they do it. If you keep screaming when it hurts, they will write the prescription even if the exam can't be finished, but at minimum you have to come in and be pressured to submit to the pap.

Yes, I'm amazed by how they decided fault here. I can think of two times this past year that a car was stopped in the middle of the highway when I was driving, presumably because it was disabled — it caused a huge traffic backup both times, which is why those incidents were memorable. I have also had to brake suddenly…

I finished the second season at 2 a.m. and the ending made me bawl. Now I'm tired at work and my eyes are still puffy... but it was worth it. What a great show.

Sure, but so are many of the other characters. She's hardly the only selfish, petty person on that show. But people somehow find Piper intolerable while the other characters are so amazing and real.

Yes, I think people are annoyed with her because she is privileged, but her privilege makes her story different — and that's a story worth telling, partly because of the contrast with everyone else. Honestly, I think a lot of people who find Piper "so annoying" have far more in common with Piper than anyone else on…

I haven't been disappointed at all — I've loved the whole season so far (2 episodes to go).

Guests who live in the couple's city are likely bringing that average down. It's difficult to fly across the country, use a taxi or rental car, and book a hotel room for $592. Depending on the location, the cost of getting there can easily be way more than that, especially if you need two plane tickets.

I also think some of it comes from "lesbians won't date me" which gets misinterpreted as oppression. Many lesbians have preferences about the gender identity, gender presentation, and sexual orientation of their partners (just like many other people) — and this is often seen as unfair because lesbians are "supposed…

Yeah, how warped is your thinking on fitness when it takes 15 seasons of people crying, puking, and fainting from starvation before you start to think "You know, this seems kind of unhealthy and mean."

That was cool of you, but it's not the same. Bystanders are more likely to assist after an accident than to confront a stranger who is behaving badly — it's a different type of intervention.

Like I said, I hope so — but I can also see myself freezing, based on my reactions to other shit going down when I was in public. Like someone else posted, the bystander effect is well-documented and very common.

I like to think I would have done something, but I can see myself sitting there with my mouth hanging open. I tend to freeze when something like this happens, and then later I'm upset with myself for not intervening. It's worse in groups / public situations. When something happens in front of 30 people, and nobody…

I've been wondering about whether men get presents on Valentine's Day. I'm a lesbian and we buy each other gifts. But I definitely noticed that I was in line with mostly men at the chocolate shop. There were a few women buying boxes of chocolates with flowers, but maybe they were all lesbians like me.

I recognize the contradiction in my own feelings. This story made me very sad. I don't understand why they refused to give him to another zoo that wanted him. But at the same time, I just had a turkey sandwich for lunch.

Yes, I stayed in a small Italian town where this was the case. I was with a big group of American high school students, and although we were told not to flush the toilet paper, some did it anyway. We had plumbing problems, and the Italians were furious with us — they were like WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU STUPID AMERICANS…
