What, work like cooking their dinner, doing their laundry, and cleaning their house? Oh wait, she's the one doing all of that, according to her post. Maybe if her husband wants sex he could try taking care of his own laundry and dinner sometimes — or even, gasp, hers! There's no evidence that he's doing any work in

I was a virgin (in the hetero traditional sense) well into my 20s, for somewhat complicated reasons involving religion, fear of pregnancy/abortion, discomfort with being physically close to people, and a messy college breakup. It was a pretty tiny part of my identity and day-to-day life, except that I could always win

Given that I am an adult and still can't even fit into the A at Victoria's Secret, that makes me irrationally sad. It's not even a real size A and I'm still too flat! Boo.

Whenever I fit into the size zero at a store like J. Crew, I wonder what the women I know who are genuinely tiny do ... get everything tailored? It's insane that sizes have drifted up so much but it's good to fit as many sizes of your consumers as possible (adding larger sizes would be even better!).

Not a stalker, I swear...

I couldn't have done it without this incredibly educational article!

Erin's. Will he/she be sent by post?

I don't. Hopefully they aren't a criminal or bigot, and the other stuff I'd rather find out over coffee or a nice glass of wine. But the Internet has convinced me I am wildly naive for not Googling beforehand and probably deserve to be killed by a psycho.

Love the generalizations. My boyfriend has gone to quite a few pricey destination bachelor parties and spent significant amounts on tuxes and suits for several as well. I would put my foot down if I were expected to spend four days in Vegas because a friend was getting married. Our friend groups have different customs

It's still sexist because a lot of women's professional attire is designed to be sleeveless...

It seems like the write-up keeps mentioning prostate exams, but I'm not sure where that came from because it doesn't seem to be mentioned in any of the screenshots of the Tinder conversations. It looks like just generic reminders to get a yearly health checkup, geared toward men.

I am one of the biggest proponents of sunscreen I know, and I don't reapply throughout the day unless I'm spending a significant amount of time outside. I don't see how this is remotely practical for most people. Does anyone actually reapply throughout the day as they sit in their cubicles on a cloudy day during which

I knew a Kael in high school, years ago.

Yeah, I think any Catholic is likely to know several men who left the seminary, if not the priesthood, to marry. I personally have known at least four men who were in the seminary before they fell in love and chose not to become a priest. No wonder fewer and fewer men are even considering the priesthood these days.

It's a reference to the star of the previous Bachelor season, Juan Pablo. Andi was a contestant on his season before becoming disillusioned with him and basically storming off the show, calling him a narcissist. So no, it's not random.

I know many white men who have those attitudes as well. I think this article does a great job of showing how the way Asian men are specifically oppressed plays into certain attitudes they may develop towards women, but most Asian men I know personally are progressive, thoughtful people. I know plenty of Asian women as

It doesn't sound harsh. My dad was a single parent through my teens, and he made decent money (enough that I never had to worry), but I didn't get an "allowance" in college. He very generously paid his portion of the tuition and for my housing/food fees, which was more than many parents could afford or would do, and

Having been a later-in-life virgin who is now a dirty sex-haver, this is bullshit. I feel "normal" and unashamed now, whereas before I was always afraid of being called out as a prude, frigid, or withholding. I was afraid to date because I thought no man would want to deal with my virginity (except for misogynistic

She is both. And agreed.

That happened to a friend once. A family stopped by their table at a restaurant to ... um ... praise them for adopting someone of her sister's race (both adopted, from different countries) and to sing the praises of how well adoptees from this country always behaved and performed in school. "But never adopt a kid from
