I saw someone say she looks like a Gelfling now, and... I can’t un-see the comparison.

Imma let you finish. Wait, no I'm not; I have a penis.

Does anybody have good, healthy, positive associations with growing up in a religious family? I feel a solidarity with other people who grew up Catholic, but for the most part we are talking shit about how messed up it was. I'm not saying that every Catholic is terrible, it really needs to be something you choose as…

YES. this happened to me with the first few relationships i was in. i found it happened as i started to have emotional problems within the relationship. but the pattern did break eventually!

Hmm. My relationships have been... varied. If they lasted longer than a couple months (or even a few dates, sometimes) I saw something really worth fighting for. Maybe sometimes I see something in the relationship that the other person doesn't, because I've been the dumpee more than I've been the dumper. Or maybe…

I've got a question for the crowd. I've gone on a couple dates with this guy - he's cute, very smart, emotionally intelligent, kind, respectful, funny, etc. and really interesting and fun to hang out with. I'm very attracted to him intellectually. And I've had a lot of fun on our couple dates.

No kidding.

The entitlement in telling another woman what to do with her eyebrows. I just — not to be obnoxious about it, but this is how women enact and enforce the patriarchy on one another.

Nobody else knows the camel thing! My friend and I joke about how it's shit job that gets pegged on some hapless underling 'Oh hey Josh, we're gonna go cross a desert. Can you go put the pebbles in the camels? Thanks.' or 'Josh, we need more camels, can you go get those pebbles out of those camels? Great.'

The secret of medicine is we have no idea how half this shit works

At the dick doctor it's the opposite, like, "Here we're going to tell you everything in great detail because you have a man-brain and can understand everything and if something goes wrong with your junk IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD and also maybe you can even teach us some ways to improve this medical procedure."

That is almost literally what my doctor said when I got mine, "We don't really know how it works but it sure does work well!" Then he went on to tell me about how ancient Egyptians would put rocks in camel vagina to keep them from getting pregnant on long dessert treks. He's a fucking lunatic and I love him.

Instead of outright saying "I'm a lesbian," in the future I will just say "I'm more casual than ever." It's basically the same.

My mother is OBSESSED with the Blessing of the Animals. She would bring all of our cats, fish, birds, pet lizards—everything. I visited her one year in Florida with my dog (who is now in doggie heaven) and I swear y'all she was more concerned about getting the dog to church than she was about me. Like "WHATEVER BECKY…

That was it! Yeah my mom used to take that rat everywhere with her. It's funny she HATED it when I first got it but when I was at college she fell in love with her. My mom would take her to the post office and all around town on her errands. There is picture of her in our local paper at church with the rat during the…

I believe it was Tina Fey who said: "Helen Mirren is not proof that there are parts for older women, Helen Mirren is proof that there are parts for Helen Mirren."

Totally agree. I've seen women who put aside careers in order to support their husband and family in what was agreed was a group/team effort, oftentimes involving multiple overseas moves for his advancement up the ladder (can't exactly build your career when that's happening) and then when the dude runs off with a…

OMG MARK THIS HEADLINE SPOILER ALERT, PLEASE???!!?? UGH thanks jerk, you just ruined Christmas for me!

This is sad for everyone involved, but this is what religious folks want. They would rather gay people marry the opposite sex and live in misery because they're not attracted to their partner than accept them for who they are and approve of them having sex with/dating/marrying same sex people.

Let me be super clear about this: I think everyone should be allow to love whomever they want and be a religious person. I don't think that religious sect of any kind should discriminate against gay people. With that being said, I understand how and why a person might decide they want to live within their communities…
