Oh, I totally remember that. Thanks for the link.

THIS. It makes me nuts. I'm a surfer and started following Roxy (a girls and women's surf brand) on Instagram. Even they feature their athletes — competitive surfers — lounging on a beach not active in the waves. Surfing as a sport has a lot of issues - I came to it late (in my 30s) and the localism is the first…

As a Wellesley girl who knows not a person who married a Harvard (or MIT) guy they met during college, I beg to differ. Those women certainly existed, but I suspect they were the 1%. There's a lot of traditional femininity preached though (the archetypal "Wendy Wellesley" definitely marries the Harvard guy she met…

Don't tell Princeton Mom - but I got married in at 34! To someone I met in my 30s! I know that sounds completely fantastical, but it happened at least once in recorded history. To me. Also, I have what I consider to be an awesome career. And a lot of fun in my 20s.

College may be a great place to meet people but I'm a straight woman who went to a women's college, so meeting my mate at college never once occurred to me (or about 85% of my classmates, maybe more).

Since I won't read the book or watch her segments, I don't understand why the options are painted as "land him by graduation" or "start looking for a husband at 35." There's 13-14 years of awesome in there. What's one to do then? Just work and sleep around specifically not looking for a husband? Or does she frown…

So the woman in Starbucks this morning in a cotton mini dress, no tights, Chuck Taylors and a down coat is on trend? Got it.

Thanks for being better informed than I. Then, fair enough, strike the whole pile of garbage. We don't need laws to inform women who are pregnant that they are pregnant with a embryo or fetus that at some point in later time could be a sentient human. We got that. If we don't, then we have doctors. We don't need…

"Of course because everything is always three steps forward and two steps back (or more like three steps forward and two steps still stuck in 1950), Wright did not strike down the portion of the law that requires doctors to check for a heartbeat."

From my first post:

I proposed a different first step than this woman in the story. One rape threat is too many but I think the particular reaction here is disproportionate as a first step. I think a more pragmatic, step by step approach is reasonable. Maybe that would get nowhere and there would need to be escalation. I just don't…

Talk about a lose lose. "Doxxing" is despicable in my mind — in particular to the degree here (parents names? pictures of your house?) as are rape threats of any kind. And, both violate Tumblr's terms. But, "he did it first" is a level of argument folks usually outgrow by age 7 or so. And, the scope of retribution…

While the cost of our wedding and my ring would be a nice nugget towards a down payment, and could be invested to grow into a down payment for something we would want to live in down the road, we're New Yorkers, we refuse to buy a studio apartment and therefore, rather have the ring and the amazing wedding than enough…

Hey, Girls —- film a show about my neighborhood all you want, but how about using sets, not shooing on location, and thereby getting these damn bus tours, tourists, and other similar undesirables out of the neighborhood I moved to to ensure there would never be tourists? Send them back to Times Square. Thx.

I have to imagine it's really hard to pass a law that properly and narrowly criminalizes the creepy aspect while addressing what this is: taking a photo of a fully clothed person in a public space. It's certainly creepy, and gross, and I don't want anyone trying to get panty pictures of me, but what's the specificity…

You could get boots into them. But the springs that have been holding the tension settings for 25 years are probably shot, meaning there's no way they'd work well (if at all). Good start to a rock star themed ski chalet though.

I don't even think that perceived weakness is a problem, so it doesn't need to be solved for. My point was more along the lines of "there's plenty to lambast Sarah Palin about why pick one of the things she's said that's actually true?".

UGH. Don't make me do this.

See, yes. I live in a major metro and even my small hometown was only 20 minutes from a medium sized city and an hour from world-class medical care. I can certainly imagine where the risk/benefit analysis, given the factors you've described, tips the other way. But, living in a large city, I know plenty of…

"Take control of their deliveries" by putting themselves in a position to be removed from immediately available emergency medical care? I am not a parent but this just strikes me as such a significant risk to take. "Birthing centers" are often next door to/very near hospitals, as I understand it, so perhaps lowering…
