My heart goes out to people with fertility issues. This sounds totally crazy (in a sci-fi sense) and there are innumerable unknowable risks, but that's to a person who was (luckily, thankfully, happily) able to get knocked up the old fashioned way when I wanted to. I can only imagine how much you must have been…

As a women's college alum, this is really terrible. I fully recognize that women's colleges are not for everyone, and even I was surprised when I both chose and loved it, but I truly believe that it's an amazing and perfect option for so many. One fewer is a shame.

During the 111th Congress, in 2010, the House was 9.5% African American (42 people), 5% Hispanic (25 members), 8 members were Asian American or Pacific Islander and 1 was Native American. 77 members of the House were women. For the purpose of this exercise, let's assume none were a minority (not quickly finding that…

Interesting. A friend of a friend who works in advertising said the same was true of the Beyonce photos that we released around the same time. He swore they were "detouched" - that he had worked a shoot with Beyonce before and that she really and truly is nearly flawless in person. He thinks the mild blemishes were…

On the one hand, this is horribly creepy and wrong and suggest moms with what I'd view is, at best, antiquated and narrow hopes about their daughter's futures.

Ah, so it's a housing and not an organizational issue. Interesting. And yes, the college was undoubtedly more certain of its legal footing that way.

Nope, sororities should be subject to the same policy.

I don't disagree that they shouldn't be forced to be co-ed. But, if that's their premise, if their national charter or something requires it and Wesleyan doesn't want any single-sex institutions on their campus, then remove the fraternities.

Two dogs, one husband, I'm preggo. The game is hours of endless fun and window opening.

If they didn't start with the gnudi then each have the burger with shoestring fries, they did Spotted Pig wrong.

Katy Perry, woman who has not previously born children, would almost certainly be months (2 most likely, maybe even 3) from a baby bump if she were in fact, 2 months pregnant.

I want to be as happy as that dog is. He is so psyched to have done a good job!

The exes who potentially regret their decisions just prior to/after proposing to another? I've gotten two (very intoxicated) phone calls from exes when they have just made a decision that tied them to their current spouses - moving or proposing (update: both relationships seemingly going great years later!). Most…

I will miss this show more than pretty much anything else on television. I've been addicted since day 1 - when it wasn't nearly this good - and it gets me every time. Every character. Every on point lampooning of reality. I also loved Amy's book. I guess I'll be an optimist and say I can't wait for what's next!

The 'apology' implies that "regardless of the circumstances" really means "without consideration for the emotional and physical toll on the human required to bring such child into the world and then presumably be wholly responsible for the care and upbringing of such human." So, yeah, notsomuch. Probably should just…

Thanks for this - and please forgive my lack of Marine history,

I think you're over-reading the piece. To quote: "In my experience—and the experience of many, many other women—the vast majority of people who use "females" to refer to women are men who are expressing dislike, no matter how faint, of a group they consider a species."

The only guys I've ever met who use "female" and don't have a purposefully derogatory intent are Marines, because it's part of their usual diction. When I pointed out to my former-Marine husband that the likely history of why it's "female" and not "women" - undoubtedly the relatively recent arrival and unequal…

Solid reference to the Jessie diet-pill episode. Amazing.

I totally hear this. I have to remind myself - when running is hard or my heart is pumping in yoga, that it's a huge blessing that I got pregnant as a healthy and very fit person so I can continue to maintain my fitness during my pregnancy and the fact that things are slower is because my body is doing a lot of work.…
