EXACTLY! Thank you, you expressed this better and more clearly than I did.

And yet, it never goes the opposite way, right? Men can never be given a traditionally women's name, because it would be seen as shameful or weak. And all the once masculine names that have now become feminine are nevermore used for men, because they've been ... contaminated? ruined? by the new feminine association.…

Except that they're not actually getting gender neutral, so much as it's okay for girls to have traditionally boy names. If they'd had a boy, there's no way in hell they would have named him Isabelle Wyatt. Because it's okay for women to have masculine associations, but for men to do the reverse is still seen as weak.

Goddammit, that's his character's name? I was going to name my son that!

Getting? As if it hasn't already been for a very long time?

good sex is a powerful motivator.

I once waited outside a locked dorm room door while the resident of said dorm room scaled the side if the building to enter his second floor window. He opened the door, started kissing me before I was even in the room, and very quickly I noticed the breeze... and the blood. In his eagerness, he'd smashed the window…

I love to drive and I'm addicted to LDRs (commitmentphobe? Who, me?), so yes, I have frequently driven five hours in the middle of the night at the drop of a hat for some nookie. I have also, more than once, left a date with one guy to spend the night with another guy. And the first time I ever hooked up with my…

If one believes in science, then one must understand that science is far from figuring everything out. So to believe in science but still have faith in that middle ground isn't crazy, it's reasonable, humble, and intellectually curious.

ohh, Sebastian Staaaaan.....,

Isn't Cap a known virgin; isn't that part of his issues? And according to Outlander, they very much so went down in the 1940s (if we can cross-reference our lore).

I mean, George Clooney was already Batman once, after all. And this treatment for the character is definitely way better than the one he already played.

I had always heard that "86" was a term dating back to Prohibition, referring to the now-defunct Chumley's speakeasy at 86 Bedford Street in New York. If the cops were coming for a bust, the bartenders would send all the customers out from the multiple secret/side/back entrances, as the cops would be coming to the…

Oh, they work amazingly well. It's kind of creepy how smart they are. but, they were invented by one of my fraternity brothers, so I tend to lean more towards proud and away from creeped out.

Just get a Roomba. Robot housekeepers are the shit. Very Jetsons.

Interesting. I just refer to my three interchangeable penises as "fuckbuddies." Then again, mine are animate.

Mark's partner is a very patient man.

I just can't believe he wore a watch to his wedding. Did he have somewhere else he had to be later?

But even if they can't find a body, why are they assuming she ran off willingly, instead of having been kidnapped? (And it's been six weeks, not six months.)

I just don't understand why Dougal didn't marry her himself. They were setting up a marriage of convenience, she even thought at first that she was going to have to marry Dougal. If Dougal had feelings for her, then why didn't he marry her instead of assigning Jamie as stunt husband? And does this have anything to do…
