Amen. The best toy I've ever used was a recommendation / present from a straight man.

Who's there?! Why yes, it's Tone Argument!

Pic won't show but since it's 99.9% likely to be Janelle looking ~flawless~ I also give it a wholehearted YAAAASSSSSSS!

Janelle is a Cover Girl spokeswoman. And she is flawless.

They were on Austin City Limits, too — I remember catching it randomly on PBS and squealing so loud my parents yelled at me.

This was "Our Song" for me and a certain someone back in high school! It brings back such memories.

I saw Cibo Matto when I was like 16-17 and it was THE. BEST. EVER. So much enthusiasm and a really chill crowd.

I'm sorry you have to deal with this. Your story is heartbreaking and the truth that refutes people who think "some people just love going to the doctor to get attention paid to them." Best wishes from an internet stranger.

That's terrible. I'm sorry you and your dad went through that.

Also a useful argument when Michigan's legislation decides that you need special insurance for ANY abortion at all. Even if you've got a stone baby inside you.

Not just abdominal pain; research shows that doctors are less likely to take a female patients' complaints of any type of pain as seriously as a male patients'.

Just to clarify — the Hyde Amendment only applies to PPACA/Obamacare through a "gentlemens' agreement" between Obama and Rep. Stupak — the Hyde amendment language was never actually written into the bill.

It is common for most insurance plans, including those listed on the state and federal exchanges to cover therapeutic abortion (i.e. cases in which abortion is medically recommended to protect the health of the mother). There are several private programs which also provide coverage for elective abortion which are…

That is a huge pet peeve of mine too (not just here, all covers).

I agree. It's awkward to be stuck between being really legitimately offended at something but not wanting to make a scene/be perceived as "aggressive" (ugh), so hopefully this makes those frustrations visible in a way that people can understand.

Funny, I have a soft spot for "Mallory..." ;)

LaComtesse with the wisdom once again :) The only thing I'd add to this list is "profession names:" Baker, Hunter, Cooper, Fletcher, Archer, Mason. C'mon, you're naming a Real Life Human, not populating a D&D campaign!

You're not truly a "man of character" until you've spent 3,000 words masturbating furiously and impotently into the ether about how vile women are.

So much of this article operates out of the assumption that the lover is male — do lesbian women also "expect" non-orgasmic sex? Without the male orgasm as a premature "finish line" wouldn't the expectation change?
