I love the thought of these ladies cutting loose!

Grand juries nearly always do what the prosecutor wants them to.

It’s given me a range of ages, from 46-64, none of them within more than five years of my actual age. I’m not impressed with either its accuracy or its precision.

No. The point of a football team is to play football. The point of a choir is to sing music. The point of a frat is to form a group. Frats do other things, but that’s the reason they exist. Everything else they do is a means of justifying that.

As if “black and white twins” stories weren’t bad enough to begin with....

Could be worse: it could’ve said “the perfect beer for removing ‘no’ from her vocabulary...”

Oh, it has a point. The point is to create an “us” and a “them.”

I don’t wear heels.

I understand that reaction, and in the sane situation I might have done the same thing.

It seems like you’re expecting him not to have any feelings about what happened, which I think is unfair. If I were him, I would feel frustrated and confused and used. Maybe there are some nuances of his behavior that aren’t coming through here, but just going by what you’ve written it doesn’t seem like his reaction…

My husband and I knew we were having a girl (according to both karyotype and ultrasound, and at nine she still agrees with her assigned gender), but we didn’t tell anybody. Her fetal name was “Newton,” so a lot of people assumed we were having a boy. That wasn’t our intention in choosing the moniker, but it was fun…

She didn’t block his name on Twitter, the block was something added for Jezebel. FWIW, the account of the asshole who sent the message appears to be a shell.

Well, I like to look, too. Now I’m trying to figure out why I’m comfortable with covertly admiring someone attractive, looking at pictures, fantasizing privately, etc., but not with active involvement in some sort of fake flirtation. It’s not just anxiety about being ridiculed, although that’s part of it.

This is being overhyped. From the Engadget article:

I can’t say what’s happening inside the mind of the man who’s flirting with a waitress, but I think most waitresses would say that pretending to enjoy the attention and flirting back will get you bigger tips. If all he cares about is looking at her, why bother to flirt at all? The point of flirting is…

That, too.

It’s not that I have a moral objection. It’s just that for me the idea that the lust object is only there because he’s being paid kills any enjoyment I might get out of it. I think this is pretty common with women: being desired is a large part of the turn-on, possibly even essential. And I’m middle-aged and was never…

Because, generally speaking, men are better at believing that the hot young object of their lust actually enjoys and appreciates the attention of a bunch of strangers they’re being paid to entertain. That’s my guess, anyway.

At 11 weeks, a fetus is less than two inches long. Just in case you were wondering.

And when you put your opinion out there, people have a right to say what they think of it. Don’t get all bent out of shape.
