Thank you for pointing this out. Once someone shows abrupt shifts in tone and behavior, as a woman you must assume they *might* be dangerous to you. Keeping things polite is a way to try and control a situation that has already shifted.

Hell, my family routinely made fun of my "flat-chest." (The word you're looking for is assholes.) And even though I asked my mother for one of those training bras because I was the only girl in gym wearing an undershirt, she refused saying I didn't have anything to support. So, a few years later when my breast…

I loved the fact that, with one exception, she sang the song straight without loading it up with unnecessary runs. It's a difficult song to sing well and I thought she blew it out of the park. And the way she walked the ending up was terrific.

oh, burn...

One of the first books where I really embraced the idea that "I don't have to finish reading this" was the first Thomas Covenant book. Wow, what a tool. I don't mind an unpleasant main character, but damn, there's only so much whining I can take.

Well, it's mainly because there are very few writers who can make a living writing.

The rule in the rottenkitty abode is, "Don't poke the bear." The bear of could is moi and Mr. rkitty after over 25 years of marriage has finally embraced this. Don't poke the bear before it's had food in the morning. Don't poke the bear if you know it hasn't eaten in a while.

I'll bow to your superior knowledge of ALIAS, I stopped watching it in the second season. However, LOST was a self-indulgent clusterfuck, and had more than a few red-herrings and unresolved questions. (And for someone who routinely uses time travel as part of his narratives, has no one ever explained the concept of…

Uhm, you know the pitch was "Gilligan's Island, but you know, with mystery." They've admitted in interviews they had no fucking idea where they were going.

After a second viewing of DollHouse, I changed my mind about it. It is a terrific sci-fi series. And so much more nuanced than most sci-fi shows.

Yeah, ALIAS is not the most annoying show to do all these things. That would go to LOST. Also, a JJ Abrams' shows. I'm seeing a trend.

Well, thank goodness she's not on a national stage where her every moment is documented for the snarking pleasure of an ever-more cynical audience. Yeah, she's a hot mess, but I gotta wonder if this reality show crap isn't exacerbating her condition. The whole thing makes me depressed as shit.

And how did you get to your penis from an article about vaginas? Oh yeah, because no vagina is complete without a penis. Thanks for making this about your dick.

Indeed. It is to puke.

When plastic surgeons refer to small-breasts as "deformed" we've already lost the battle. You're right, the line is in constant motion and as long as we buy into it, we don't get to set the standard.

I love "Scandal." It's a damn fine show — crazy-over-the-top at times, but that's part of what I love about it. I love the fact that the main character is a tough as nails, whip smart, gorgeous woman. And that she's black is just the cherry on top of the awesome sundae. Like the op said, it's a great show from a…

I agree with the previous commenters. If a man looks at your lady bits and says, "Ew" he needs to be shown the door. No two flowers are the same and no two vaginas are the same. Hell, all penises are also different, too. Vive la difference and fuck assholes who would have you maim yourself for their manufactured…

And I'm certain if there were a way to vaccinate without live virus, they would do it. In fact, that's being investigated, but there are many who question the efficacy of such a vaccine.

I just watched a documentary about polio (while I'm getting over pleurisy, because that's how I roll). It was heartbreaking. And even people who had it and weren't crippled, have the chance of developing other problems related to polio later in life. I can't even imagine living in an iron lung the way some…

No, it's really not a bad example. But nice try.
