I am o e of those women who makes stinks. I truly can’t conceive of being any other way. I know I’m an extreme outlier, but I agree with you that society on the whole would be improved with stink-making.

Maybe this will help, maybe it won’t, but I get cystic acne and I’m 33. I have very pale, fine-pored but oily and sensitive skin. If I do these things, I don’t get it:

I don’t believe her. Her comments sound very of her generation, and Ive heard exactly the same spiel from older women I *know* were raped/assaulted themselves. This is what was hammered into them from their earliest years; it’s been the chorus for 85 of her 90 or so years.

So... “special” in trump speak means “cockroach,” doesn’t it? Women, brown people, so special....

I don’t disagree with you but I’m pretty sure Melanias pre-presidential career was being Trumps wife. When was her last modeling spread or escort call?

Oh people still go on about Kate’s hair and she crashes sites all the time with her own and both children’s sartorial choices. Maybe she’s not been as public because her pregnancies are hard and having several small children will do that to a woman for a short time. I dont think this is a patriarchy thing.

No

I think the queen has been around long enough to accept that the heart wants what it wants. From her uncle who abdicated toher sister to her own son (not to mention various minor royals), trying to stop marriages like this *doesnt* work and throws the monarchy in chaos. Windsors are concerned with staying the…

I don’t get massages because even when it’s a woman twice my age and I’m only half naked, I still feel violated by the process. I hate being touched by strangers. This just adds so much weight to my “nope” column.

Heh, yours was the comment I didn’t write. :) i went more subtle hehe.

I go by the gossip. Sure, it’s gossip, but so often it proves correct. Ive always read that Kim treats her staff and underlings well and with consideration and dignity, I have a harder time believing she’s an ego-maniac fame whore calculating bitch than that she’s a genuinely decent person. I mean she probably has a…

Yep. That was really well done, she kept her mouth shut without being sanctimonious or winking about it. For me, I started to like her when she was shit tweeting about trump etc. and she’s been piling on gold stars from me since then. I actually got up my husband the other day for talking smack about her, he was…

I really get the sense that this is Kim, especially after her robbery last year. It shifted her paradigm. I hope to see more of this from her, it would give me unending joy if Kim K turned out to be the fiercest advocate for powerless women and men in our generation. She could do so so much with her power and platform…

We live in a big country house with extra rooms, and friends often come visit from the city for a quiet weekend. They always bring wine, at the very least. Neither of us drinks it, but I’m always grateful. It keeps, so I have a dozen or more collected bottles there that I either cook with or regift. Or if the weekend…

I don’t even consider myself “a certain age”(is 33 that age, idk?) but I agree with you. My best friend is currently focused on her next goal- marriage and a family. Which is fine but she’s not even getting to second dates with most of these guys, her choice. But it bums her out, and I’m beginning to think partly bc…

I get what you’re saying and LOVE your crazy story. But- in this case there was a pattern of abusive behaviour from him leading up to this. And Reeva had just started work on helping abused women... I always wondered if that was her starting to figure out what was going on in her relationship. Sometimes it takes a…

Ding ding ding ding.

I have pretty much decided the people who weigh in with this comment on these types of threads are simply justifying their thought lives to themselves, at the very least. Outing themselves at the worst.

We th his pattern of conduct, I wouldn’t be surprised if he stalked her that whole time. Not a whit. Probably thought it was romantic. Barf.

God yes. I got Facebook in college, but it was only open to a few colleges then and there was no feed. I often think I must have been among the very last generation of young adults not to have every single fuckup and bad choice plastered all over the place for the world to see and judge. So. Fucking. Grateful. The…
