Do they seriously think making some BC available OTC will really get them off the hook? Many many women have contraindications for the most common types of birth control pills. Making birth control available without a prescription will in all likelihood just make it harder for these women to get birth control at all…

I definitely need to seek out more of her stuff. I LOVE Boom Clap. I could listen to that song on repeat ALL DAY.

my boy with the day-glo orange and robin's egg blue shoes is glad of this recent trend as well

I did this a bit with my boys, as a way of differentiating things in much the way your boys use it. So, Megabyte always got the red stuff and Kilobyte always got the green. (Because Mario is red and Luigi is green. Totally where those colors came from.) It worked pretty well for a while, and it was, as you say, a…

YES. This. Totally.

It's really interesting to see just how individual kids will react to those social cues. I was one of those "I HATE PINK!!" girls, and for very similar reasons to what you've described. I couldn't have told you my favorite color when I was five, but could sure tell you which color I didn't like.

What IS valuable about observing children is that you can see how early we push girls toward a feminine ideal and boys toward a masculine one, and how guilty we all are of confirmation bias that whatever girls do directly after we push them toward doing it, is suddenly proof of their innate nature. Same with boys.

I have little doubt that he does this. He seems like the kind of dad who would be a bit goofy with the stuff his kids like, and just be encouraged by their embarrassment.

oh, so pretty!

Share pic? Sadly, I have too much hourglass going on to carry something like this off.

In fact, I DID know that. But I never had you figured for a Doors fan.

LOVE THIS. LOVE. Sadly, it would not love my body....

French Horn is included in Brass.

Each permanently clamped shut vagina loses him 3 Touched Vagina (TM) points. But there's a lot of paperwork involved.

You get that hot sousaphone, baby. I'll throw in a flugelhorn for 1/2 price.

Girl bass players are in a completely different category. We are specifically referring to bass players with penises here, as per the original article. Also,

I'm allowed to make fun of bass players. My brother played the bass. ;)

Lute counts the same as guitar, but only at LARP events or renfaire.

Songs count if performed on guitar, but not piano. (Look, nobody can be held responsible for the pure sexual power of a man playing the piano, ok? Spontaneous piano-playing ups the Vaginas Touched Through Music count to incalculable levels.) Violin counts, but not viola. Also, cello, but not bass. Bass never…

Harridan!
