If this were the reverse .... if a 16-year old boy got black-out drunk and was beaten up and anally raped by a group of large strong guys he thought were his friends, would the world say it was his fault and he should have known better ?

This isn't hugely surprising ... for most adults, it's been a long long time since they had to deal with any of that stuff. I got a near perfect SAT math score, I minored in math in college and I work in IT, but I am no longer able to help my 13 year old nieces with math homework. I also don't recall anything about…

I don't drive, so I don't get this one. But, I have problems with paper cutters (the fear I will be overcome with the urge to chop off my fingers) and small nail scissors (the fear I will be overcome with the urge to stick it in my eyeball. I don't have the actual URGE to do these things, but the fear that I will…

I block ALL that shit - ads, sponsored stories, games, etc.

I gotta say, a makeup mirror is a useful thing. I got a super shiny chrome mirror-finish case for my iphone, and it is really useful for lipstick fixing and making sure no gunk in teeth.

Next, he needs to learn how to make "the bun" when his little girl takes ballet in a few years. Took my sister months to learn how to do it on her kids. It's apparently quite the cause for stress.

I'm a Jewish girl and I ADORE Easter. All that lovely candy! Cadbury Eggs! Silly hats! Spring! No holiday-specific music!

Congratulations to the soda and corn syrup industries for successfully convincing people that having to refill their cup in order to consume more chemicals and liquid than will fit in one's stomach is a blow against freedom.

I want to block any message on OKCupid that talks about my feet.

You'll be fine on the stairs, just very very slow. By the time you get to the top, you'll be tired and need to rest, but it won't hurt you to go up and down. It's a good idea to have a friend stay with you the first night or two just for comfort and make sure nothing goes wrong, but you'll be fine on your own.

Hystersisters isn't creepy cancer support. It's a good spot to ask questions and vent.

I'm almost exactly two years ahead of you on this ... I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer on February 16 2011 and had a hysterectomy on April 11th.

I'm a child of the 80s. "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel is the most romantic song ever.

I'm a huge Manolo fan. As heels go, they are very comfortable and so very pretty.

I have a whole bunch of the fancy shoes. I've had some of them for 10 years and they are in perfect condition. I don't wear them on the street if I'm walking far or if there is rain or slush or whatever, but they hold up great.

I have my mother's GREEN mink coat from the early 70s. It is mint green mink in a chevron pattern with brighter green suede in between the chevrons. The thing is stunning. I'd wear it more often if I could come up with the right occasion

I have my mother's mink stole and it is BEAUTIFUL. I would wear it if I could just figure out an outfit/season for it.

Find a local non-profit that does something you are interested in, perhaps something international (anything really, an international film festival, an international aid group, etc). Call them up and volunteer to help out.

I am one of those foot-revolted sorts. Many years ago, I had an unfortunate toe injury.

Taylor Momsen is gonna love this collection
