Why would I take science into consideration if I know how I feel? Science may tell me that studies show that licorice is tasty (or unpalatable), but it's my freaking mouth, and my responses.

I don't think subversion is always a 180 flip. I'd contend that most -isms aren't a simply reversible transformation. What's in this to subvert talks about a different story.

Which original?

*My* takeaway was "shit, that is HOT." So I'm glad they did it, because I like women in pant suits (and sequined evening dresses) and men in glittery thongs. I can get my cowboy/ninja fix somewhere else.

You want place names to start making sense now? I wish you a great return of investment on that one, but why should a numbered item not have an article? Do we have that rule written down somewhere, and is it one of those English rules that no one breaks ever? You know, like...that other rule that's 100% consistent…

Cute equivalence, but also pretty useless.

And maybe my natural causes will be that naturally I can't live with my heart over there and my lungs over there. Don't worry if you will die (since you shall) and think not on on how (who gets it right anyway?) and just live until no more is left.

I don't know if I was any of that—I had bullheaded in spades, and that was the explanation for about everything...until at least my mid twenties.

The way you phrase that makes it sound like "female" and "playing D&D" were your criteria, and just the whiff of that broad a brush would have sent me running screaming (except I could find no one of any gender to play D&D with—who knows what I'd have done to keep a good DM...KIDDING). That was seriously a paranoia…

Your search for "tinker toy prosthetic leg" returns zero results.

Sometimes Legos in the vents save the world.

Women aren't attractive in the same way as women. Which is to say—some men don't find those splayed, awkward, and impractical female drawings attractive, and some women find overtly sexualised presentations of men attractive.

I have been pretty good about the dates in tagging my music, but a lot of it isn't starred yet. I'm pretty tightly decade focussed (oh, eighties, why hast thou forsaken me???), so I have two main categories of smart playlists: for just listening—any decade from the 60s to now, with four or five stars, or for actually…

I think I'd have been frustrated if "something" had happened in New York and I didn't know what it was—because that way I can't judge if his freakouts are reasonable or not, and since they were such a big part of the movie, I felt Avengers was a more important prequel than IM2, which was largely unimportant other than…

I wonder what the projected audience for the movie is of people who are not familiar with The Avengers. Of course, they want every ass in a seat they can get, but I do think they're assuming that people who stay past the credits at least remember last year's record-breaking movie.

How could you possibly have any clue? I can just as simply say "this girl has probably observed her mother using the restroom and notices the relationship between the two, and she would personally see it as acceptable (for girls) to pee sitting down."

I have never met a person with a penis that can't pee sitting down. You can't? Maybe you could ask around...

So in the good old days kids could be let ride around outside more but were also watched more? I'm not understanding?

I thought the good old days were the days when kids rode their bikes unsupervised around the town limits until sunset. When were they being watched?

The fact that he still did it matters too—the stronger statement about not reducing women to the secondary sexual characteristic is to not do it. We know what it looks like, we can just nod and move on to being positive.
