I disagree with you. Ideally, a child should have the support of their parents before making such a decision. However not all parents are rational or reasonable. As mentioned in my post, my friend’s father was abusive, I have no doubt he would have become physically violent with her had he found out. How is it…

If the cups still fit you can hook one of these into the band.

It’s going to be all the poop/vomit stories that weren’t fit to print, isn’t it?

Because there’s always money in the banana costume.

This is definitely the beginning to a horror movie where Darrell Hammond as the Colonel appears in every photo, right behind you, just before you are murdered by Darrell Hammond as the Colonel.

I occasionally use it as a euphemism for “lesbian.”

You make those cookies?? They are my absolute favorite! A few years ago I was shopping at a big Amish flea market in Lancaster PA and I bought some of these cookies (home made!). On the drive back to the hotel I fell asleep and flipped my car. I managed to save the cookies, picked out the little pieces of glass and…

This episode of Law and Order: SVU just keeps getting better! It started out being about college rape epidemics and it will meander over to cyber crimes, and before you know it the conclusion will be about smuggling gibbons in basketballs.

You know, if you’re going to look down on me and my $10/bottle Louis Jadot Beaujolais-Villages situation, I’m gonna laugh at you because I’m getting pleasantly wasted at a much better price point than you are. The LJB-V (aka “my house wine”) goes excellently with everything, up to and including my budget.

Exactly! I spent two years hooking up with a guy, fooling around, whatever and never did his penis enter my vagina, so technically he doesn’t count for my official number. However, not including him feels off, because we spent two years doing everything else.

Along those lines, is it really a bad thing to prefer a $40k job you love instead of a $100k job you despise? (Or a “lame” job in the words of the article.) I would much rather get paid less and not spend time every Sunday night thinking about how much I’m dreading the next five days, even if I get paid well. Money…

You shouldn’t worry about your lack of experience raising flags, all you have to do is explain the situation. I would totally date a guy who had never had sex, I would obviously ask why and all that jazz, but never having sex is not a strike against you, and ANYONE who uses it as a strike against you is a complete…

Your wife is probably ambivalent because her body is being taken over by an alien life form just as you are reaching some kind of physical peak. She probably doesn't feel very attractive at the moment.

people usually find it gross but I like my oatmeal thick and almost chewy

I worked in a pizza shop when I was 16. When I was hired, the owner was a friendly grandfatherly type, who unfortunately could not afford to keep the franchise going, so it was bought out and run under corporate management. The new manager was the biggest fucking skeezeball. He was 28 or 29, and would make me work…

My first unwanted adult male attention was when I was 8 or 9, from a man who led a Bible study. Nothing ever happened beyond general creepiness and being overly friendly, enough for my little girl brain to say “Okay, this is weird and not normal.” Also probably why I am an atheist.

Reading that first story felt like a punch to the gut. I am so, so, so sorry that happened to you, and I hope that kid thought back on it years later and felt like absolute shit. But maybe that’s just my irrational belief in human decency talking.

I was uncomfortable and I think I was trying to hide or something. I remember feeling obligated to reply and then wanting to leave but not wanting to be rude

Yeah, I guess it’s not just young girls who feel that way. We learn it as young girls, often to our detriment even as we get older.

Ugh, unfortunately the most sexism I’ve experienced was in the home. My parents, hippies though they are, never asked my brothers to help with anything other than dishes, and even then they didn’t have to do them after middle school. It was me and my sister’s job to do all the housework, even well into college: if I…
