Yeeeees, this. And really, not cheaper than the additional years of therapy that she would need once she found herself involved with these kinds of guys.

Can't wait for Drudge to pick this up using the headline "CHILDREN JUST LIKE HOMOSEXUAL ADULTS, CLAIMS NYU."

I'm in!

I know—he sounded like he was in over his head and therefore just pulling questions from gossip websites. She handled that part of it really well.

Oh, I feel exactly the same way! And everyone I know who listens to his podcast says the same thing...so if you're weird, we're all weird together.

I really think she was just trying to explain why it was that she chose gestational surrogacy rather than adoption, which is a totally legitimate thing to discuss. But yes, you're right—it started off very awkwardly, almost as if she thinks of adoption as some kind of very long-term babysitting gig.

Ha—I thought this was going to be about her interview on Marc Maron's podcast this week. She said some things about adoption that...I mean, I know what she was going for, but if that interview starts getting quoted, she's going to piss off a lot of adoptive parents.

It's also not at all clear from that teaser whether they were interviewed together—it's possible that they were interviewed at different times, and the writer asked him a few questions about her, her a few questions about him, etc.

By the time kids are older than 4, though, they're out in the world eating food that other people them—if I remember, the Vogue article included a lot of that stuff—birthday parties, school lunches, etc.

Clearly reaping those mental benefits, which are even greater than the physical ones.

Good heavens, Adele, you're not supposed to plunge your hands INTO the boiling water with the bottles.

Landline =/= LAN line. Two different things.

I thought Olivia Wilde was never going to get married again because her vagina gets bored, or something like that?

No matter who you are or what your relationship to Joe Simpson, I think that if you're involved with someone who can say with a straight face that they think Joe Simpson basically means well, then you should end that relationship immediately. I mean, I think it should be a standard profile-building question on dating…

I was wondering the same thing, and trying to figure out how to ask it.

You can certainly still truly love each other, but that may mean that a romantic relationship is not the right thing. "Love" is not a pair of handcuffs one person may use to shut down another person's sexual life.

Likewise (and for the correct use of "begs the question!")

Hm. I think we still disagree pretty profoundly on a number of points, here, but I wonder if, since we've found one point of agreement, we should quit while we're ahead?

If happiness levels are indeed declining, there are any number of events and trends and philosophies that are coincident with that—it's silly to declare a single idea causal, in a whole universe of potential factors, just because that happens to serve your argument right now. I could just as easily say "It's no…

I know; I really can't imagine any convincing argument against its fundamental sexism. Having said that, I don't think that everyone who takes part in the ritual is by definition sexist—I have many friends for whom this was a part of their engagement process, and none of the men in those couples seem to regard their…
