This is true sometimes, although I don't remember this outrage when Michael Phelps was on the cover of Time in a speedo. I always thought that the most controversial aspect of the Levine photo was that it's obviously a woman's hands covering his junk.

I will, as I feel that Mozilla failed to live up to its ethos in this case, but still is the closest thing to having an ethos of freedom. The other browsers are made by large companies, while FF is a non-profit committed to the open source movement. Google, while giving lip service to Open Source, has really taken it…

You've got a great point. Women shouldn't do anything provocative for fear of social repercussions of her children.

All right let's cast:

Well you heard incorrectly. Most schools Panhels have very strict rules about recruitment. It's supposed to be treated like a job interview. The bland colors and standard clothing is there as a training lesson for a real life professional job interview. It's a bit antiquated with the way workplaces are now, but at one…

I just had words with someone - a dude Gen X counseling psychologist, no less - who described the husband's half of the housework as "helping".

tbh, that's really low on my list of priorities. First because it's already Ok for women in our society to lack ambition. Second because I've never really seen feminists in real life take issue with SAHMs, even if that is one of the more popular myths about feminism. In fact, I've read quite a few feminist scholars…

"But realistically for the foreseeable future, girls bear the consequences of too early sex much more than boys and girls need to be taught that too."

YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH THE QUEEN IS A NATIONAL TREASURE!!

Good point! (Especially because I started having sex at 14, which a lot of people consider too young, and I don't regret it.) I guess what I was trying to say is that, if I had a daughter, I wouldn't want her to think her body and sexuality were the most important things she had to offer. I wouldn't want her to start…

That is maybe what you meant to say but its not:

That is what concerns you about this? That's what you find appalling?

Feinberg sounds like a totally righteous babe, and I salute hir amazing chutzpah. But good god, communist regimes have a terrible, evil, unspeakable track record when it comes to supporting and protecting the rights of trans folk. The lucky ones spent a lifetime rotting in a Siberian gulag or Qinghai re-education…

First, fuck Muse.

None of what you just said invalidates what Taylor was saying.

Well, as an actual romance novelist, I have no problem with that. Bring on the mpreg romance novels! I just find it interesting that in the whole scope of the mpreg community, according to Lyric's interview above, there is virtually no attention given to abortion or other heavier issues surrounding pregnancy. How…

Women get to have a life experience that men do not: they can carry a child within them that they will eventually birth. They get to bond with their unborn child and form attachments far earlier than men do with their children. Jealousy is not the emotion here; it's envy. Pregnancy is pure magic to me, and I envy…

There have been a lot of great comments here, and reading them made me think back on my wedding/disordered eating experience. At first I was just going to share about the amazing food at the Ritz Carlton New Orleans, but I feel like I need the setup, now. (Apologies, this is kind of long.)

Getting married in three months. This is how I broke my diet: I wrote down an elaborate month-by-month "slowly easing into it" diet that was "absolutely going to be healthy and smart and in no way eating disorder-y". And then I remembered that just because I'm getting married doesn't mean I need to go back down that…

There really needs to be an ED trigger warning on this post.
