I guess I'm struggling with the fact that after reading this, well, horrifying story about FGM, your first comment was calling out the use of the term 'gypsy,' which, I agree is problematic, but pales vastly in comparison to last paragraph, where a little girl was describing the prospect of having her vagina _cut open…

Cool story, Troll.

I totally thought that until I saw that she was a victim of childhood abuse. Now I'm leaning more toward "has a lot of internalized guilt and anger at her abuser that she projects onto her students."

Go for it! Carrie's short hairstyle was timeless and super flattering (i.e., not the Rachel).

Exactly! She got everything she never knew she always wanted. It seemed like a truly happy ending for her

So glad I'm not the only one - I liked Charlotte (enen though she was kind of sometimes, she always seemed genuine and loyal), and found Carrie to be incredibly self-absorbed.

I'd _love_ an ex-boyfriend run-down shirt like this. The resplendent shirt is nowhere near as glamorous. It would be filled with names like "Co-worker from Taco Bell" & "Guy at that party freshman year," & "Ill-Advised Young Republican Hook-Up" & "Oh, yeah, uh... Shit.... What's His Name?..."

Exactly. I'm probably just cranky and cynical, but I don't for a moment believe that if this law went into effect, they wouldn't start using it to jail consenting adults. Especially gay consenting adults. SMH.

"... he could have walked away and gone home..."

Yup, nothing puts me in the mood for love like the crushing feeling of obligation.

Makes sense. There's evidently a 'blonde idiot' quota and Hasslebeck just left.

Letter writers #1 and #2 - your 'friends' have revealed themselves to be assholes. Feel free to ghost on them with a clear conscience.

Genuinely curious - can I ask what your opinion is as to why those subreddits are so intolerant and unaccepting? Is it a problem with the way they're set up or moderated? Or something else?

"The only thing that should be all up in your vagina is us!"

What? Can't she take a compliment?! Allow me to mansplain to you how flattered I would be to find myself covered in the biohazardous fluids of perfect strangers! This is why you're single, Jezzies!

Oh, I've heard Quaker weddings are awesome! Congrats to you both!

You're totally doing it right. The Prince Consort and I had big traditional weddings to our first spouses (spice?).

Not going to lie. Watched this last night with with the little resplendent bastards. It was AMAZEBALLS.

I assume that "There's no tougher job than being a mom" is just the sanitized, socially acceptable way of saying "Goddamn, sometimes being a mom is just fucking shitty and sucks major dick."
