Well, *I* vote that all the White House interns get to throw unwrapped tampons at everyone who supports this bill every time they open their stupid mouths and it was UNANIMOUS.

Yeah, exactly. And that was the case before the recent IUD push as well. I’m 30 and single and have been on the Pill for half my life, and I take it every day, and I always have. And despite all the anecdotal evidence to the contrary, I have never gotten pregnant despite having a LOT of condomless sex (nobody’s…

To say nothing of the fact that the overall percentage of IUD use is so low, there’s no need to mourn the accidental pregnancy because it continues to happen regularly.

He certainly would not do the former (I don’t have a landline, so he would be rendering me unreachable by phone to my mother/his wife, a situation which would be more unpleasant for him than for me) but I have been thinking about the latter. Individual plans really are more much more expensive, though; it’s…

I find his work revolting. Hopping from trending issue to trending issue is a pretty clear signal that he’s interested in raising awareness about his artwork, not that he’s passionate about any particular topic. If he really wanted to make a difference, why not donate his talents to a campaign run by a reputable…

I think it’s just a way of taking care of us. My parents know they don’t have to, but they like to. It would obviously be simpler for everyone if they just didn’t, but as long as they insist, I suppose the best I can do is reward their care and concern with elaborate signaling to let them know their parental wisdom is…

You sound like you know what you’re talking about. So I must ask your insight on the biggest dad dilemma: what should I get him for Christmas?? Last year he asked for a bunch of tiny metal parts for his motorcycle. It was...less than fulfilling for all of us.

Well, I know that! That’s why I started paying for it in the first place! I admit it was my fault for forgetting (for a while) but that was not the response I expected when I DID remember and called to try and fix it!

I had the weirdest fight with my dad about the family plan a few months ago. He called and announced that it had been three months since I sent him a check for my portion of our data (admittedly, I am bad about remembering, since I don’t get the bill, but should have sent up calendar reminder, etc) and as such, I was…

I grew up in the NYC suburbs as well, and my parents paid for my college tuition in full. However, they asked me not to get an on-campus job of the burger-flipping variety mainly because they felt it was a waste of my time and their money to spend hours of the precious few years I had to build the foundation of my…

Exactly! Unreasonable perfection is one of the standards we’re fighting against! No point in shaking off the patriarchy just to police each other like hawks. If you like lingerie and looking pretty to the opposite sex, that’s great, do it up. It’s the chocolate cake of the human experience—delicious, totally…

Yeah, really. If you’re going to truss yourself up, you may as well make the most of it. Like, I’m not convinced that taking sexy nude photos (even of a less-than-supermodel-y body) is like, a super-feminist act. It’s not advancing the agenda, really—this is about as subversive as it gets. But it doesn’t have to be!…

It’s OKAY to want to look hot in your naked picture. Even if that means donning some traditionally feminine accouterments like heels.

I guess it has to be. But like, this is Pirelli! They definitely retouch, and they are pretty accustomed to dealing with breasts. How did someone miss this?! Also, who makes textured boob tape, bc I’ve never seen it.

I mean, if someone put tasselled pasties on me, I would make a point of facing front, PERSONALLY. They’re not that comfortable. But, maybe!

Yes! Left boob! I don’t know!! I used to assist a stylist, I’ve seen just about every backless boob support on the planet, and I’ve never seen one that was...textured in that way.

So, I mean, this is amazing. Love all of this. But I have been trying to figure out what this random hairy boob fringe is ALL MORNING, as it is clearly not her hair. Someone plz help.

I’m single as could be and turning 30 next week, so this has definitely been on my mind. For me, it’s come down to a question of finances—I could probably do it paid for by some savings bonds/money that was given to me when I was a kid, but I couldn’t pay for it out of my salary. And that leads me to believe that I…

They do go together! Although in the song, it’s implied she’s a stripper (“Man I swear I love her how she work the damn pole”) the actual subject of the song was not a stripper, she was a consumer, as addressed in this interview with Billboard:

That is beautifully written, thank you for sharing. It is amazing how the world simply keeps turning, isn’t it?
