OK. You make a good point.

You are absolutely 100% correct.

Oh, it's even worse than you think. She's got one of those sexy, strappy harnesses. That, with the permanent eyeliner and how she's always wiggling her booty sends a pretty clear message.

I'm 46, and I am not bitter or unsympathetic, and no, I don't think you should be grateful.

And yet nobody's even bothered to approach the core question of "What business is it of yours?"

Pajama pants are more comfortable, cheaper, and allow for a better range of motion than regular pants or jeans.

Oh, the allergies! My house is just not a good place for people with allergies. I've tried and I just can't make it safe for the allergy-prone. We have dogs and cats blowing their coats all over the place here.

I am aware of the difference. I'm saying that your comment was classist.

Go ahead and say classism. That's what it is. It's a sexist, classist double standard by which women who have the time, energy, money, and inclination to get dressed up every time they leave the house are held up as a model for all women.

My first exposure to Jezebel was shortly after it was bought by Gawker, there was a story on another Gawker property about two young girls, a thirteen year old and her older sister, who had been surreptitiously filmed in their bathroom by a Geek Squad employee, and who were suing as a result.

Thank you! I was scrolling down the comments worried that I'd be literally a day late and figuratively a dollar short trying to explain Arduino and Lilypad.

And that is entirely understandable, as the media coverage has been incredibly hostile and…

Here's one site that includes a lot of different schematics:

VOIP switching equipment normally doesn't support pulse dialing. (In fact, I'm pretty sure most modern systems have phased out pulse support.)

They're not. The children are allowed to tell people the baby's sex if they want to.

The parents are not telling the child what to do or not to do. They're just not telling other people his or her sex, thus encouraging others (adults in particular) to relate to Storm without gender expectations.

I use half and half baking soda and cornstarch, with a few drops of tea tree oil and other essential oils for scent, in a spice bottle with a shaker.

The masculine form of mistress is master, and when used in that sense, it is explicitly male. Steward, waiter, author, and other similar occupational terms are not.

It's been a while since I've read her books, but this is exactly the type of thing they address in some detail. If you're really interested in the subject, that would be a good place to start.
