@philistereo: Oh, and salami and bacon are both cured meats, not raw.

@Muggs Bigglesworth: I don't care how good they make my calves look, high heels alter your bone structure to the point where many women (including me) have to have surgery to correct it. Shoes to women are as much a hot-button love-it-or-hate-it issue as pants.

@maggie_may: I was just thinking, what would all my vegan friends say if I wore this to a party... Where can I buy one??

@BytheSea: And yet, I envy my boyfriend's legs because they are so long and elegant, whereas mine are short and wide and do not taper. And he doesn't even wear shorts in the summer! It's a crime, I tell you.

@mimilove: That's why I read Jezebel; it's cheaper than cable and they summarize all the bad TV into a two-minute clip so you don't end up watching it!

@pastanaut: You're right. These types of ideas don't go away just because they appear not to work - how long did people in the US burn witches before they realized that people and livestock were still getting sick?

Okay, I was laughin' along at this non-internet-savvy article, when I came to this puzzling acronym: "tl;dr"

@philistereo: And by what you don't understand, I mean, don't let your concept of modern patriarchy go wild here.

@bluebears: Um, gotta step in here and say that I'm afraid it does have to do with virginity and fertility. But it's not like everyone sacrificed young women all the time. Men were sacrificed and so were couples, because even before modern society people did know that it took TWO to conceive. And human sacrifice in…

@barb95: I've never seen the show, but I did once meet (and work with!!) the guy who is considered an "inspiration" for the show, meaning the guy with Bones' real job. He was awesome. He told us stories about Johnny Cochran getting up in his face during murder trials.

"the most famous people in the world"

I'm pretty sure SOMEone here in Chicago has tried to market this already.

Is it weird to anyone else that this study was commissioned by Disney/Pixar? Nice publicity stunt, maybe? That said, it still sounds true - one of my favorite memories of being a kid is my mom reading me Oliver Twist and the Little House on the Prairie books.

I, like so many of you, also hate what the Pill does to my brain and don't want to use condoms (with my long term bf).

"chronicles the disconnect in a new documentary"

I hate this separate but equal bullshit. Why do we need a women's version of everything? A beer is a beer is a beer is a beer, goddammit.

@edna_electro: Great interview! thanks for posting the link.

@philtastic: My thoughts exactly!

@Sodypop: Yes! Minus the four years of rain or however long it was.

@hungryhungrycaterpillar: I agree. Would it be better if these women just shut up and stayed celibate because their husbands don't understand that they have needs, like all people?
