I doubt he'd consider it assault if it happened to an adult woman. This man breaks my heart every time he opens his mouth.

It was more along the lines of "slavery is just not that cool—hey, poor guy or new immigrant guy, here's a musket!"

I'll try the magnesium and feverfew, thanks.

The best shape I've ever been in was the years I was in graduate school. If I felt like an idea was "stuck," I'd hit the gym and be thinking clearly again within the hour. Also, I was broke-ass broke and the gym membership was a perq of being a student and was the only entertainment I could afford. I called it the…

So what do you do when not being able to exercise anymore is breaking your heart? I used to be really active (had even worked part time as a trainer) but about a year ago I started feeling terrible and every attempt at exercise, whether cardio or resistance or even yoga leaves me with a migraine and in bed for two…

I think what I like most about this collection is that you can see it looking great on a wide variety of body types.

Ooh, can I be a bridesmaid? You obviously have great taste, so I wouldn't have to dread the bridesmaid's dress!

Though not the point of her project, I think it would have been hilarious if she had included a picture of herself as Cindy Sherman. Because.

Ooh! Good to know! I will have to google titer tests and their meaning now though.

I rescued a little feral kitten a couple of summers ago on 3rd Avenue in midtown—it was just hopping around trying to get at something on the other side of a Duane Reade window. Long story short, I had to get rabies shots. Totally worth it.

Except then the owner would think, OMG! What a cute idea! Concentration Camp yoga!

To be fair, maybe they meant *this* ghetto:

You may not notice it because you don't engage in it yourself. My brother doubted my claims of harassment in our neighborhood so I told him to walk across the street from me while we passed a (sigh—stereotype alert!) construction site and he got to hear all of the things that they were shouting at me. Here's the…

I have a cousin who used to be an OB/GYN. We were flipping through channels and came across "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant." I asked her if she ever encountered anything like that (she had been practicing in the rural south). She said it wasn't that uncommon for a young woman (13-15) to give birth and insist up down…

Writer4003, here's your mistake. Forget using the example of a woman following a man around saying these things. The example that works is ask them to imagine a man following them around saying these things. A man who is a good 20% bigger than they are. Now it's a group of men doing that. And several times in the…

I posted elsewhere in this thread, but the other day when somebody told me to smile, I just dead-eyed him and told him to do ten push-ups. He looked very confused and I walked away.

My new weapon is confusion. A couple of days ago, a total stranger told me to smile. I dead-eyed him and told him to do ten push-ups. He had no response.

But yeah, that video is a very satisfying revenge fantasy—not unlike the second half of Deathproof. I love how the same men who are afraid the government is going…

He must have gone to the Ted Hope school of producing.

It's possible to accomplish things outside of a formal job. Example: "Congratulations on finishing that 10k," or "Your photos always capture the moment perfectly," or (insert thing that friend does or is proud of).

My most expensive footwear is (are?) my athletic shoes for any given sport because quality in that arena (ha!) is really important. Even so, I've never gone above $150. I commute in comfortable flats and have three pairs of heels to choose from under my desk at work which are all well under $100 because frankly, I…
