I'm not going to lie; it wouldn't tip the scales if we weren't already at it, but if I was sleeping with him and found shaving soap/ brush/ straight razor in his bathroom and he used them regularly? Definitely sexier than the modern stuff, YUP.

THANK YOU. I'd star this twenty times if I could.

It's so not our business what her surgery was for, though.

This is the thing that kills me right here. I'm out now and I have been since I was a teenager and that was scary enough—- and I'm in my 30s. How much goddamn chutzpah do you got to have to be living together in the 40s? I want to drink with these women.

Dupont Circle is a pretty good/ high- rent area of the District. I find it hard to believe they didn't have cameras the police could have checked for images of the flasher/ masturbator.

I'm just not understanding the love for this series, in print or on the screen, especially in feminist circles. The male protagonist beats and rapes the female lead: doesn't this bother anybody? Citing an older but still relevant article: http://persephonemagazine.com/2013/05/outlan…

I met my husband when we were both in the service. We dated for four years before marrying, but we received intense pressure, especially from higher- ups in our chain, to marry at about the one- year mark. It was bizarre and upsetting and frankly only made us more determined to hold off. Folks really became obsessed…

I have been trying to explain to the men around me that women's live are lived in perpetual violence- the violence of constantly checking our six, the violence of knowing we live in breakable, takeable bodies from as soon as we can understand the concept, the violence of just living in this culture of misogyny- since…

And having a high metabolism can be scary, and upsetting, too. It isn't always "I'm so thin and pretty!" Sometimes it's "I'm eating everything I see because I'm afraid I'll look like Skeletor again, like I did in 2010." (Not to mention the health risks, which are a big deal.)

I'm immunosuppressed and was thinking about issues like that as I read these comments, too. Obviously not Avril's problem or she wouldn't do these gigs, but I wonder how many stars take shit for not touching / allowing physical contact due to undisclosed immunosuppressed status. :(

Yeah, I was kept thinking how much I liked the actions of thinking, truly observant Christians as I read this. I haven't met many Christians who are that educated on or engaged with their faith, but they can be pretty great to come across.

Yeah, but Judaism is inherited through the mother's line, so that doesn't mean much, really. (Not trying to be rude!)

By this point, we should probably just be glad they didn't go with, "Let's roll."

I really appreciated the way you phrased this, Lindy.

I've never seen a Nicholas Sparks, Stephanie Meyer or Nick Hornby movie. (I know those are all the authors, but it's the stories that are offensive, so that's how I track it.) I did read the "Somebody- Somebody Reads Twilight So You Don't Have To" that the Times did online years back, because HILARITY, but otherwise I…

Holy cats what's even HAPPENING, how do you armpit? For fuck's sake get over it, Elle, it's hair.
