It might be a strong instinct for you, for for many other women it's just not there. My mother dumped me with my grandparents since she couldn't stand babies/cats, and I was raised there until I was potty-trained and stopped crying for attention. My grandfather fed (me formula) and burped me, and my grandmother helped…

I spent babyhood with grandparents, and grandfather was the one who fed me at night with formula because my mom hated babies/children/cats. If he were gay and I had two gay grandfathers, he'd still probably be the one who fed me, because he liked taking care of other people and can actually wake up to loud noises. It…

Um, if your cello's under the dining room table, are you resting your feet on it :(

And a jar of Nutella.

They're only doing it because it works on you. Basically, you're dog-whipped.

I would actually donate to a 'get the hell out of there while you still can' fund as well.

OMG CNN, the Onion isn't a how-to guide!

I can't decide which was more cute: the little lambie or the little French girl.

And then fight charges of murder! The systems works great!

I'm always a little leery about girls/women who claim to only get along with male friends.

It didn't sound like you were justifying rape. Rape's part of war and chaos, and it certainly sounds like India's experiencing great changes.

Yeah, but it fails to be even a little erotic. It's like having a woman barf over and over again, right into my eyes.

Why did you read the entire thing? Are you secretly a masochist?

I read a random page and actually felt bile rise. That's never happened before, not even with Twilight.

I'm so glad I read this comment before hitting play. Do people still use 'chinaman' these days? Is that why the majority of comments are favourable?

Writing doesn't have to be 'literature' to be entertaining and educational — I learned to enjoy reading from Jezebel. I honestly didn't care to crack open a book my whole life unless I had to for school. 50 Shades, however, seriously pisses me off. It's neither entertaining nor educational, and it's spreading…
