Grab, twist and pull. I remember this line from self-defence training in year seven. Also scraping the heel of your shoe down a shin if you're grabbed from behind.

If menstruation attracts bears, I'm afraid of what a birth would attract. Probably bears with bees in their mouths so every time they roar at you they shoot bees at you. And that doesn't sound safe!

A woman in Hawaii once wanted to give birth among dolphins in an enclosure. It took a whole team of marine biologists to explain why this was a terrible idea (including the main one: the dolphins will eat and/or smother your baby).

Jillin' it is my new favourite phrase. Thank you kind stranger.

I once got a guy on the train who was groping me to hold my stuff so I could put my huge coat between my leg and his crotch. I smiled like a knife, took my stuff back and said "thanks". He went pink and moved away. Normally I'm not that calm or cool but that day I was just like "ugh, really? this train is hot, we're…

SO GOOD.

I think a huge part of it is that people think we live in a post-racial society and that they themselves are self-evidently not racist. ("Of course I can't be racist, I have black friends.") So they think, when they tell racist jokes, they're being cute and edgy instead of racist and racist.

Hello Hank! I know your comments are getting people upset, but I do get what you're asking, and it's not unfair to ask. Not sure if anyone has given you a serious answer yet, but I'm also not sure if you would accept "societal standards" as an answer either. Sometimes, as you know, social constructs require us to…

Put your sign on the wall then, because I am feeling to drink it,

So they would buy a $200 dinner and not even glance at their bill hotel, but they won't leave their server a measly tip?! Those are some low-quality people.

The waxing required in order to wear that thing and not be mistaken for the cover art for Amorica...sweet Jesus. So much waxing.

I am glad to see this happening, because for a long time there has been this very weird, illogical stigma of "shame" attached to victims of sexual abuse.

Here, here! I'm tired of the back pain.

I'm a DD and the only time I feel comfortable going braless is when I'm home. That sucker comes off almost as soon as I get in the door.

I feel the same way. I have been making a habit of only wearing a bra when I go out too. I hate em.

Lets hear it for the ladies who can't buy button up shirts!

Honestly, I think Cleo's story is a little played out. I would think that a great subject for a movie that features a woman ruler who is also completely Egyptian is Hapshepsut. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatshepsu…

She was a total badass and a super effective and clever pharaoh. So effective and threatening, that her…

I didn't bother reading the criteria, because they are meaningless, but New York is one of the gayest cities on earth. If only 5% of New York is gay, and that, to me, seems like a low estimate, that's over 400,000 people just within the five boroughs. About 20% of the residents of my Manhattan apartment building are…
