But if you would just smiiiiiillllleeee! (haha j/k).

In a way I feel like we should all feel this way and stop worrying what others think.

Yes! I immediately thought of this! :)

That all makes complete sense. Sounds like you made a good decision for yourself :)

Interesting... when you mentioned nipple clamps I imagined someone with those car jumper cables attached to each boob. Not what you probably meant, I know.

Me too. For now I'll have to settle with my steampunk version.

You said if you put something foreign in your breasts, they're fake. I'm putting something foreign in my uterus, ergo it would be fake too.

That's hilarious/really sad. What's his plan for this? How is he going to teach?

Yes! My Mom and I always talk about how when we're PMSing and get really really mad, we cry and then people are all, "Oh, the woman is crying. What a fragile creature." when in reality I'm so angry I want to tear someone's throat open with my teeth but the rage eeks out in tears instead.

Which is a shame since I really enjoyed reading domino while it lasted.

Yep yep. Speaking as a white girl on behalf of other white folks, I think sometimes we just don't know how to address racial bias and respond in an appropriate way, even when you mean well. It's like the Lampanelli article; the white responses ranged from "why be offended? it's just a word" to "OMG no one should use…

''...it is my belief that quality and good journalism appeal to all of us regardless of our specific ethnic origins."

I believe a "fuck you" in motion is more poetically effective than a static "fuck you."

I haven't seen her show (no TV) but I have seen a few of her interviews and I can't stand her either. I'm disappointed with how she's been given this large audience and chooses to portray my generation as only comprised of white straight idiot privileged childwomen.
