Because that asshole's laundry is going to magically clean itself while he watches the game? SMH. I hope the wife walked away and did something fun, too, and never goes near the washing machine again.

I can relate to this. When sex becomes a chore to please your partner, it goes from being a shared intimacy to an emotional drain. I was 35 before I met a guy with whom sex was actually easy and fun. It wasn't that he had some kinky moves, it was like he was just instinctively in tune with me and also very comfortable…

BC can totally kill a libido. Obviously, YMMV but when I finally went off of it after being on it for all my sexually active life, I swear it was like my libido suddenly tried to make up for lost time. It was so different, I can't even describe it. Unfortunately, I went off of it because I was going through a divorce…

So what? I'd rather show real women doing real things and being called lesbians by a handful of idiots than insisting on a Barbie standard.

Though I must add, I don't think feminists are trying to make me settle for less - it's the traditional viewpoint that women's orgasm are secondary or nonessential. I think feminism is on the side of women getting what they want, too, whether it's an orgasm or something else. It would be wonderful if it were generally…

Thanks Alan. Your suggestions are useful for later as I try to work my way out of feeling like a failure, but right in the moment it doesn't work. I try to take a deep breath and it's like my diaphragm is frozen. Once I almost hyperventilated (luckily I was on the phone so no one could see my red face!). And focusing…

How do you deal with anxiety while actually in the moment? I get anxious during certain types of professional interactions, for example when when unexpectedly called on for a complicated explanation / advice, especially to people not in my immediate field so can't use technical shorthand. My thinking style doesn't…

Here, I thought I had a unique magical power with my ability to wake up at any time I decide to as I fall asleep, or more precisely 6-9 minutes prior to that. Now I see that it's a known phenomenon, and I'm not special at all. Poo.

Agreed. These articles make me feel weird for wanting an orgasm or selfish for thinking maybe I deserve one as much as the guy. I've given up on casual sex because far too many men act like more than a minute of foreplay is too much (no exaggeration) or, conversely, declare they will make me come no matter what (and…

Great, now I can just see getting on a plane and finding my seat has been downsized by the guy sitting next to me and who got there first. Just what I want, a reason to get into a big fight after the hassle of getting on the plane to begin with.

Don't knock curling. You actually drink during the game, and you can/will inevitably twirl around on your one slippery shoe. Curling is a guaranteed laugh for even the stuffiest of groups.

I am toilet paper. Even guys need TP, not so much the fabric softener. Now shut up because I'm concentrating on HIM!

Actually, it's not even a killed vaccine. It's a recombinant vaccine that only contains one protein from HPV (L1 capsid). There's not way a whole virus can be reconstituted, much less an infectious one.

Also, it can be very difficult to find clinical partners in those countries that adhere to the same standards as the developed world, no matter how diligent the sponsor of the trial (evil pharma or academia) may be. Some countries, such as India, require local clinical trials for authorization, and others are the best…

Agreed. Extra Petite is one of my favorite clothing links (Alterations Needed is another for a more casual petite style) because she emphasizes proper fit, quality and tips for styles that work for her. In many corporate/firm/STEM environments, feminine touches are actually slightly rebellious.

This woman's weeping angel costume wins Halloween.

Michonne, too. Darryl keeps living because he's too stubborn to die, but Michonne watches and figures shit out better than anyone.

A thousand times this. Oh, the sulking I have had to deal with when I have told boyfriends that they must let me wake up on my own. Seriously, why do they feel entitled to wake me up for their fun times?? If I'm awake already, ok, but I cannot stand being groped when I'm asleep and helpless. I wake up defensive and…

In college I lost weight and all of a sudden a whole different group started noticing me. I got invited to rush sororities, the cute guys started asking me out, etc. I was/am still happily an introverted science nerd with little in common with most of the cool crowd, and the guys in particular thought I was snobby. I…

Just wanted to say thank you for this article, and especially thanks for all the great comments about women getting shit done and fuck being deferential and "nice". In the past 2 days I've had to correct a German lawyer in detail, kill a deal higher ups wanted done, tell one colleague to back off and tell another…
