Er, why should WE go buy a grab bag of brands and sizes? If a guy has any previous sexual experience he should know this about himself already, and come to any potential sexual encounter prepared with condoms that fit him. If he doesn't have any available, he should not expect sex. If you're dating a virgin OK, you

Hahaha I was already really enjoying this piece before the dozens of comments from poor beleaguered men and their enormous dicks who are mortally offended by it.

Oh yeah, having your weight and personal life monitored is super glamorous. What the hell is that?

I won't tell them to be offended about being called a stewardess, but I reserve the right to be offended if they characterize the time when they were held to insanely sexist standard as "glamorous".

Eh, but they aren't saying that she's bi, they're saying she's just friends with this lady while implying that the truth is they're together. So basically they're acting like there's something scandalous about being with a woman that requires coverups and euphemisms.

Agreed— Bossypants had me dying with laughter more often (although Amy's "things I learned on mushrooms" definitely had me there), but Yes Please filled me with the warmest of fuzzies and I want to reread it whenever I need comfort and wisdom. The name-dropping accusations strike me as deeply stupid, because she just

Ugh, people are annoying. It's not 'name dropping' to talk about your friends when they happen to be famous. She's even pretty self conscious about it and goes out of her way to make fun of herself for it and it make sure she isn't being self-aggrandizing, just talking about her life. Her book is excellent!

Wait, so is Johnny Depp the Worst? I had vaguely fond feelings about him but if he's actually friends with this idiot I may have to retract them.

"Every morning when I wake up and see my wife. That is the kind of love that I write about in the novels," he said.

I know that you were kidding now, but I'm still offended by your mischaracterization of Klingons. They're all about honor!

Oh my god. I'd always loved him but now I SUPER love him.

In what culture are people expected to yell at a waitress for not providing a dish that they have politely explained is not on the menu? For free?

Haha because sooooooo few people have been willing to say that it wasn't sexist. Other than like, everyone involved in it and large portions of the mainstream media. Us PC assholes must be REALLY INTIMIDATING. You're all so brave to stand up in defense of the patriarchy.

You would think "lazy minded" would apply more to people who cannot possibly comprehend that sexism might be nuanced, and that a person might have good reasons to not like someone and want them fired but those reasons might also be influenced by sexism. It takes all my intellectual bandwidth to comprehend it but I

She saved herself literally two letters by typing 'enuf' instead of should. How is not HARDER to write that way when you write real things all the time and most basic words should be instinctual?

Uuuugh. I wish so bad there was a law that mandated replacing the phrase "I'm being un-PC" with "I'm being an asshole".

It's super weird that I read that story and felt viscerally relieved that she turned out to be a bitch, because otherwise that story would be really, really sad.

Yeah, considering that 30 people showed up that wedding uninvited, it seems to me that the couple sent so many emails because they were aware that they had invited idiots who would show up despite not RSVPing. Why they were friends with so many idiots is the real question, but that doesn't make them assholes.

Well I am sure that flakiness existed before social media, but I don't think anyone has ever sent a paper RSVP that says "maybe".
