Fortunately, you’re not married to him!

Ah, I see. Yes, I remember reading that doctors suggest spacing of 2 1/2 years between children to allow a woman’s body to recover from pregnancy before starting another one. If someone is having a kid every 18 month, she’s either an exceptionally robust and healthy woman or running her health in to the ground (which…

That’s not true. Some of the older sons have said they don’t think it’s their jam. The oldest son seems pretty non-committal, though he has a girlfriend now so he’s hopefully he’s giving it more thought. Most of the girls that have talked about it have said they either aren’t sure or don’t want a plural marriage. I…

As depicted on the show, yes, Meri suggested it. If I were to try and read in to their lives, I might think Meri divorcing Kody also gave her an easy out if she decides to pick up and leave. We don’t know of course what the financial arrangements are, who owns the house, etc. so that’s all based on some assumptions.…

Fundmentalist Mormon =/= FLDS. FLDS is one of many fundamentalist sects.

I watch the show. I don’t get the creepy vibe from the husband. I think he’s a bit of a doofus, but largely a likeable doofus who often falls short of meeting his wives emotional needs, and has some silly ideas about sex and intimacy (their hormones go in your mouth!) that don’t seem that far removed to me from others…

I think you’re misunderstanding me. I’m commenting on why polyandry is unusual across human cultures beyond patriarchy.

1 wife, 3 husbands = 1 kid every two years, leaving the husbands with a reduced likelihood of producing offspring since human women typically only produce 1 baby about every two years. So the men in…

This isn’t about legal polygamous marriage though. It’s about the illegality of a married couple living with adults they aren’t related to.

Fundamentalist Mormon =\= FLDS.

That, and practically, one woman with three husbands can only result in one kid every two years. The men in that relationship have a reduced chance of producing offspring, which may account for polyandry being pretty unusual across human cultures.

Military in the US just started allowing twists, so I doubt box braids would have been allowed.

I know how little training is required to teach at a gym.

The company stated it does not have guidelines for employee hair.

They are box braids. There’s nothing unusual about those braids. They just aren’t very common on white girls, which might be why some people think they are unusual.

360 degree feedback is a thing in the workplace. It’s usually done pretty badly though. Truth be told, being on a team (or a team leader) with people who don’t contribute for whom you have no official authority over, and still being responsible for the expected output by senior management is not that unusual in the…

well, for those of us who like to be able to use our legs for the whole class, adding some damn resistance isn’t always the answer. Truth be told, I realized after doing Spin for about a decade and getting back in to riding a real bike that if I lightened up the resistance a bit and moved my legs a bit faster, I…

I agree. I’m cool with metal, but not for Yoga. I need to concentrate when I’m balancing, and metal is too much stimulation. Your objections to yoga are mine too. Creating a peaceful space is nice and all, but Namaste and bows make me cringe. Sort of like ordering a short, tall or grande coffee. What’s wrong with…

yeah, it’s the team members who do the bare minimum at work. Honestly though, sometimes the bare minimum is just showing up to meetings.

My experience in the work world says that in any group, there’s always going to be a couple of folks who don’t pull their weight. It can be a personality issue, or someone’s personal life gets in the way, or it’s just not a real priority to them or their boss.

Me too. When someone yells at me I just yell back. If I wanted a drill instructor I’d be in basic training right now, asshole.
