Many times the guns are used against the owners so it could have made it worse. If she had the gun accessible to her near the bed the intruder would have access to it as well as her child. If she had it locked up and he hadn't chose to leave the room she might not have been able to get to it. Once he left the room…

The thing is they are less likely to attack if a man is present. Women are seen as easy targets, and for that reason they are mugged and attacked more. The people committing these crimes often target women because they think they are less likely to fight back, or at least less likely to win the fight. At the same time…

I just love pancakes, and day drinking is nice because sometimes I don't want to be out late.

It's controversial for tv, where almost no characters ever have abortion. They think about, like Miranda in Sex in the City, but choose against it, or end up miscarrying anyway. On top of that late term abortion is very rare in reasons other than health of mother or baby. It could have been more controversial if they…

And this is why my friend had an art exhibit showing dick pics from all the gross men who send them. She does a lot of work that deals with sexism and just outright grossness in our society. Currently she is confronting any man who catcalls or tries to street harass her. Totally dangerous, but it makes me wish I had…

I guess you've never been to pool or beach but that swimsuit is nowhere near scandalous. On top of that, people do not deserve to be harassed for any reason. It's one thing for them to want to check that it's a swimsuit, because it is a health thing since swimsuit are made of a different material and whatnot, but you…

I also think I'm thinking more in general. Honestly both of them sound like douchebags from this who have many more marital problems than just this. I don't want to sleep with a man who would do this in the first place. There is also a difference between nagging for sex and trying to help your partner get in the mood.

I think you have to hold a balance between not forcing something you don't want to do on yourself and respecting the other person's needs. I used to be in a mostly sexless relationship that was horrible, and it did make me feel less sexy and desired. But I'm also in a really healthy relationship now and both our sex…

People do have stressful times that kill sex drive. I've had them before, and have had partners who had as well. Usually they pass when the stress is lightens. The best thing to do is talk about it and work out a healthy way to deal with it for both partners, and try to bring some chemistry back, a sexy date or just…

It is not part of the marital duties. You should be having sex because you want it, and not out of some "duty". I've found often when I force myself to have sex when I don't want it it makes me find the person less sexually attractive in the future. When you are not into having actual sex there are other sexual things…

I know from the sound of this guy I wouldn't want to fuck him either.

I know. I waitressed once in a loud bar/club and completely lost my voice. We share tables there and it was the other waitresses first night, but I basically had her talk to all the tables and I would just drop things off. When customers did ask me things I basically had to mime or just try to speak if they could even…

I want my sister to do my wedding one day. It's one of the few things I'm really set on. My ex hated the idea, but luckily my boyfriend now who talks a lot about marriage with me is happy with it. If it weren't my sister I would want a female Unitarian minister. My sister has thought in the past about becoming a…

I don't want any kids there when I get married. I want it small. I have very little extended family I speak to but my boyfriend does. We decided when we get married one day I get 20 guests and he gets forty. His friends are allowed plus ones, but not his relatives unless they are engaged or married (since his family…

The Burning Man wedding. Happens at Burning Man or a burning man regional burn. I just attended one at the regional burn Firefly, it was beautiful and the event was kind enough to issue the families day passes to see the wedding. They were probably so confused. You had middle aged people in button up dress shirts and…

Interestingly enough most Israelis are culturally but not highly religiously Jewish. I've known Israelis who would have no problem eating bacon, not going to temple, or even believe in God. I'm not Jewish or Israeli but I have nannied for many years for Israeli families in NYC, who come here for their jobs for a few…

My worst was when I moved into an apartment in Williamsburg for a steal price. The downside, the other twenty something girl and I each had the bedrooms but the lease holder was a middle aged black man. I quickly learned that he was a complete slob, as in would put his used dirty dishes back into the fridge with used…

It actually is a brilliant role. And not really that small of a role taking there are only three characters in the play. It just happens to be the smallest of the three, but the mastermind behind all the action. Taking that it is a three person play though it is a large role that does have a lot of performance time in…

It's totally not. I've worked as a weekend live in nanny, and you definitely still get paid. Even if the job were your residence they still have to pay you. Honestly these people were probably really cheap, and now they are suffering the consequences. This is why you suck it up and pay for good reputable childcare if…

This is why I'm so glad I'm with my boyfriend. He does almost all the cooking and cleaning. When I was really stressed out a while back (and before we moved in together) he came over to my apartment and cleaned it while I watched tv, and this was his idea I shit you not. Now that we live together I sometimes come home…
