Yep, I don't get the Thighs thing either. How about ripped abs and glorious hair, or really nice biceps and shoulders?

It sounds awfully tiring to be a man. Always having to guard your virility from attack by clever Halloween cupcake ideas and inspirational quotes.

I just hate-read a bunch of awful misogynist comments on a "satirical" article about how women who like men's things only do it for the attention (i.e., loving football or metal, because obvi girls don't really like these things, and we all only want the male attention, neverfuckingmind the fact that NOT and also gay…

I second all of this.

Maybe not stinkeye, but you definitely get stared at. I went to a Korean spa (they really are lovely places, btw) and when I got a scrub I felt like the woman was trying to scrub my tattoos off. I'm surprised they were still there afterwards. The ink was literally raised from my skin, like the day I got it. Anyway, I…

Oops! You're right. D'oh.

This is why it's great that D*Con always falls around the same time as that big sports game thing that plays downtown. One year, it was on the exact same weekend, and seeing the looks of absolute horror and confusion on a bunch of Clemson fans was the best.

I had a huge crush on Raphael as a kid. So I sort of love this gif :)

Ugh, so sorry you had to go through that as a child. Your story kind of reminds me of Pan's Labyrinth; isn't the main storyline how the girl in the movie created this fantasy world to mentally shield herself from an abusive home life? I think a lot of people missed this part of the movie because I remember some…

Lol. I was just going to comment that it's hilarious he hosted the messiest show on TV for years and then turns out to be severely OCD.

Yep.

That's pretty great. I enjoyed the read :)

I've wondered if some of the "baby blues" (not PPD) comes from our society's tendency to view motherhood with rose-colored glasses combined with the reality of how much hard work it is to raise a child.

Frickin' narcs with scratch n' sniff cards are the worst, man.

My mom's table furniture is speckled with tiny dots from years of Bunco games.

like-minded soul, I see? ;*

I haven't either and frankly I don't feel like I'm missing much. I have a chip on my shoulder towards things that put a spotlight on the "typical college/post-college experience" that involves privilege and having parents to support you.

I'm white and I feel the same way. I don't want to watch a bunch of spoiled whiny white girls any more than you do. Especially growing up from a blue-collar family with no "Daddy" to call when I needed money.

YES. I about cried having to use one near the Ladies Market in Hong Kong. There was no soap or toilet paper, so I ran across the street to a convenience store to buy tissues and hand sanitizer that I carried in there with me. The Chinese women probably thought I was a dumbass.
