Posting about your accomplishments will never get you as many likes as a sexy selfie will.

The problem with what you're doing is you're not generalizing, you're redefining. Instead of defining selfie as, well, its definition, you're defining it as "an alarmingly addictive trend...for public scrutiny." If Erin wanted to talk about that, she would talk about that. But instead, she talked about all selfies. I…

The higher levels of wrestling like the seventh-grade middle school wrestling team?

Liars exist outside of Facebook too you know. None of my friend lie on their Facebooks, so I would argue that's an issue with the friends you choose, not Facebook.

People don't create personas on Facebook for bragging. People create personas because you don't give your neuroses and flaws to a stranger when you first meet them, just like you don't post them online on the profile you add acquaintances on. I don't go up to someone I just met, make my ugliest face, and tell them I…

That reminds me of the one friend that posts endless selfies on my Facebook - she's transgender and as her transition continues on she feels more and more like herself and the amazing boost of self-confidence that comes from coming into a body that matches her mind causes her to take lots of selfies. And that's not a…

Pictures are supposed to commemorate an event, milestones, and memories in order to share them and be able to reflect on them years later.

15 girls. 2 are black. This is 13%. The school itself is 10.5% black.

As soon as I saw the description of grudges, I linked it not to depression but to my personal issues with crying which made way more sense to me with the description. I've been told before that crying is "emotional manipulation", that I can't cry in an argument because the other person feels too bad, had family and…

Keep in mind that the only marriages studied were long-term marriages - assuming people are getting married as early as possible (18-20) and staying together for at least 10 years to consider it long-term, the people studied at the very latest were born in the early 80s. In 10 years I think this study would prove very…

Or they misunderstand the problem, which is two sides of the same coin. To the man, the problem is "woman is mad", when the real problem is "man left dishes in sink after agreeing to do them and they grew mold, therefore woman is mad."

I think you missed the part where the biggest point of a baby shower is to provide the new mom with the things that add up when you have a baby, like diapers, clothing, strollers, etc.

I think you're making a bit of a logical leap from "men should go to baby showers" to "month-long extravaganzas". While you made clear that in that particular case the size couldn't be avoided, in the vast majority of cases the size can be controlled, with or without men - honestly, if I got pregnant tomorrow I can't…

I dress for other women because other women will notice it, because they have the experience to know what to look for since they dress themselves in women's clothing. I'm constantly noting other women's clothing, but I could not care less what Boyrax or the men around me wear. Boyrax is the same way - he won't even…

I seem to see a trend in most of these things - the thing that "men hate" according to whatever trend piece always seems to be the thing that everyone who's been on both sides of the equation notice that men love way more. For example, the post on how men love long hair filled with people noting that men ignore them…

You are not physically mandated to go, no. Just like you are not physically mandated to go to an awkward family dinner when you visit home, but you do so because it's the polite thing to do. Just like you are not physically mandated to write a thank you note to everyone that gives you wedding presents, but you do so…

If you're benefiting from the gifts being given, then you should attend. As an equal parent with the mother of the child, you will in fact benefit from gifts that make childcare less expensive and difficult.

This seems more philosophical than Kanye/Obama related.

I have mixed feelings. On one hand, I feel like publicly calling someone you're friends with a jackass is a real dick move. If my friend is being a jackass, I pull them aside so I don't embarrass them in front of people. But on the other hand, his action was completely public as well, so it's hard.
