My mother had her first child (my oldest sister) several weeks before my grandmother gave birth to her last child. But wait, there's more! My oldest sister had her first child only ONE WEEK before my youngest brother was born.

Proposal planners? This guy did a really stupid thing, sure. But these "proposal planners" do really stupid things EVERY fucking day. I think they're the real villains here.

I'm learning how to embroider and would be an epic project.

I encountered a really dumb secret shopper when I worked at Barnes and Noble. She gave me the wrong title and didn't have the author's name so of course I couldn't find it. Luckily for me, she also got MY name wrong, so I never got in trouble, but when our manager brought it up I immediately knew it was me. She messed…

I didn't know about ANY of this. I DESPERATELY wanted an American Girl doll when I was a kid, but my parents could never afford one. I might cry because my heart is broken and my dreams will never come true.

My usual response is to pull my Jabba the Hut face (forced double chin, lots of gross lip licking). Their expression turns from smug dude bro to horrified in about two seconds. It's pretty much my favorite thing, ever.

Your comment comes across though you are distracting from the real issue at hand (clue: it rhymes with schmisogyny). Like, "Oh, this isn't a problem with ALL men. This is just a problem with black men. I'M not part of the problem. " It may be a convenient wall to hide behind, but it doesn't make it right. Let this…

You might want to read up on gender theory before you criticize other people's intelligence or education. Because this is exactly how gender behavior is learned. And you look ignorant.

"Yes, I agree, I just don't like the attitude that men must wait for some sort of signal. By that rational some people would never meet....what if the girl is shy but would like to be approached? "

It's frustrating when I see trolls out of the grays. I have been working hard all year (list two burner keys) and am still in the grays. Boo.

If street harassment generally only occurs in the context of men harassing women, how is it not about gender? Sure, individually, these guys are most certainly assholes, but they all are also male. You're missing the bigger picture here.

Eye rape?

Last year I dressed as Lady Godiva. It was awesome. It wasn't a sexy costume, I was full clothed (nude body suit, nude tights, riding boots, a long red wig and a stick horse named Philip). I even won a costume contest but everyone wrote in "naked girl" on their ballots because no one knew who I was. By the end of…

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Cornelius didn't match his profile either (i.e choking women).

Here's my sweet lil' cherrier Percy.

I am unsure of where in Bulgaria he was exactly. Sorry I don't have more info!

We all have compulsions. But learning how to control those compulsions is part of being human. I actually have OCD, so I am no stranger to compulsions at all. By your logic, all criminals should be set free. Again, as humans, we are compelled to do certain things, but a person who unable to control these feelings…

Most 14 year olds know that it's wrong to kill people. Your argument that he was a child and should be given leeway would only hold up if it was accidental or heat of the moment. This was a premeditated act. He knew it was wrong. He planned it out (brought gun to school) and did it any way. Mental illness only gets…

Former Mormon here. Some of the scariest stories I've ever heard were from returned missionaries. I remember one recounted by a man who had served in Bulgaria. He and his companion were going door to door without much luck. Then they knocked on the door of a woman who seemed VERY eager to have them come inside. They…
