I have a friend with an unusual first name who uses “Erik” (with a “k”) as his ordering name.
Lisa?
Today, there is no single name as generic as Mary and John were 100 years ago, because it’s not just rank (which is most popular), but frequency (how many children with than name per X number of births) that matters. The most popular names of 100 years ago were about four or five times as commonly used as the most…
Lots of men are attracted to women who don’t fit the standard of the moment. They just can’t admit it. Either they deny it or they find another overt excuse for being attracted to a non-ideal woman. Idealized female beauty standards are much more about status than simple physical attraction.
But I think there’s less of a social penalty for women professing an attraction to a man of non-ideal-according-to-the-standards-of-the-moment body type than there is for men.
If, as Jia claims, this piece is satire, then I’m going to have to rethink my assessment of 90% of the articles posted on Jezebel.

The majority of women who have abortions already have at least one child, and many are married. See http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/fb_induce…
The problem is that there are a lot of faux-serious pieces on this site that employ a similar tone as a way of deflecting criticism over a sincerely-held opinion.
Perfect delivery.
Yeah, that’s true. I was more or less joking. Maria Hill is such a colorless character (at least in the movies, I don’t know the comics), I wish they would develop her more instead of using her to fill plot holes and be the interface between movies and tv.
Mamie's email is almost as bloated as a summer blockbuster.
So, in case you folks aren’t joking about the fic, you can find almost any pairing you want here: http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Marvel%20…
The problem is that there aren’t enough good female characters to generate really creative femslash possibilities. Wanda/Maria, maybe?
Sure it is. It’s anything you want!
It didn’t strike me as racist. But her response is really dumb! People should know by now that in cases like this you don’t get defensive, you say “I can see how people would interpret it that way, although it wasn’t what I was thinking when I posted it. I’m sorry. I’ll take it down.” And then the whole thing blows…
In your feed, the time zone on a tweet is converted to whatever your local time is. So the time stamp of an embedded tweet reflects your time zone, not the sender’s. I’m showing a time stamp of 3:09; I’m in California, so if you’re seeing 6:09 you must be in the eastern time zone.
You may be thinking of the decision not to give his second wife the title of princess. And apparently they’re not planning to call her queen when he becomes king, either. If she had still been of childbearing age when they married they probably would have had a morganatic marriage, which would be moot anyway since he…
