As a Brit, I have 2 things to say:

1: Your political system is WAY fucked up.

2: You need to get on this socialised healthcare shit ASAP. It is GREAT. You are going to LOVE IT.

Jesus, why are the options 'cheat' or 'leave'? What about 'work on your marital problems together'? The problem here is a commodity, consumer-based culture: a marriage is just a product, and like all products, it's supposed to make you happy; if it doesn't, you either quit using it or get a new one. But that is such a…

You really fucking scared me for a second. I thought I just hadn't heard the news about Mr. Firth.

It's a clearly attention seeking video about how this poor soul had a job for less than 2 years (!) where she shit talk her boss-I'm not seeing the amazing in it, I guess.

Dirty Dancing is a prime example, for me, of how good movies that happen to be about and/or marketed to women are often devalued as chick flicks. Sure, it's a dance movie with a romance, but it also possess a sharp-edged takedown of Rand bros, involves a non-judgmental abortion plot (that can be read as a reflection…

I don't give Natalie Portman enough credit, I see. I love the point she's making about feminist characters—and that Dirty Dancing is her favorite movie, not something pretentious. You're alright, Natalie.

GoT nerd speaking here... actually Cersei's sex column would be horribly depressing. The only sex she's every enjoyed having is with Jaime, and that's only because she feels he's literally "her other half".

She thinks of all of her other sexual encounters as being either traumatic or boring - something she does only…

And there's absolutely nothing wrong with struggling a bit with the complex feelings that arise when you're confronted with what your privilege really means. The important thing is that you talk about it with grace and compassion. (:

Fellow med student here.
Being a doctor is a HUGE part of my identity that requires so much dedication that I can't imagine having a partner who wasn't completely on board.
When someone talks about not wanting to date a woman because she is a doctor, I hear "I won't date a woman who doesn't laugh at my racist…

I swear half the reason I married the guy I did was because he actually likes that I'm better at a lot of "manly" stuff than he is. I'd mostly dated women when I was younger and got used to that at least not being a problem in the relationship, and when I started dating some guys too I was shocked at how many were…

Doesn't seem to bother this guy. I'm sure his wealth and royal bloodline helps soothe any injured manly pride, though.

Definitely not TMI! Thanks a lot for this, as I have been considering trying cups for YEARS but with a relatively massive upfront cost, it has been difficult to make the leap into the unknown. I tried the recycled organic tampons, and the stinky-leaky reusable pads, and after losing mega bucks on those attempts, I was…

I've been using a MoonCup now for about three months now (3 total periods). I just moved to a place where tampons are not readily available, and maxi pads and I have a very tumultuous history, so I thought what the hell. I'd been wanting to try it, and this gave me a good push.

My local CVS and Walgreens just started carrying softcups and I am so glad. I would never have just bought a menstrual cup without trying a cheaper option like this first, especially since some woman with tilted uterus's do have pain with them, but it's sooooo much more comfortable then a pad or tampon, especially at…

A little OT, but homeless shelters really appreciate it when ppl donate pads and tampons. Poor women often have to resort to makeshift pads of toilet paper from Macdonalds and the like. As if it didn't suck enough to be poor and homeless... Anyway, if you give things to homeless shelters and women's shelters, consider…

I know every time I go to buy tampons they are shamelessly shilling those stupid plastic ones. I don't want the plastic ones, and yet they have them in many more varieties and package sizes, and I have to hunt around for the one regular box, and it's always available only as a giant 64-pack. What, like they're…

If you are a cat person I recommend having at least one black cat at some point in your life. Maybe it's a self-fulfilling prophecy, but every black cat that I've had has been absolutely sweet and loving and I need data to find out if it's an actual "black cat thing."

I secretly love the couples on the bus...especially when one rests his/her head on their partner's shoulder. It makes my day. I'm not fond of groping but the little things are pretty adorable.

Anybody ever pull out a tampon and have it swing against the forward wall, leaving a stream of blood and chunks that you have to clean up? Now that's when "you really have to look at and interact with your fluid."
