I'm a girl and I'm the same way. I also hate it when my boyfriend doesn't shave; the beard is associated with poor hygiene in my mind for some reason? I hate it, I know we've all been conditioned, but at the end of the day it always feels worth it to shave before putting on a skirt because I just feel more comfortable…

I'm a woman, and I've bought into it too. Same thing as you say there, I *get* it is completely made up yet, I don't feel sexy or attractive with hair.

What's the solution?

Is this like that douche commercial where the guy accidentally uses his wife's vagina wash in the shower and then has to run around pulling tractors and crushing beer cans on his head so he doesn't grow a vagina or whatever? If I forget to shave my legs I might feel kind of grotty but I've never thought, "oh no, I'm…

This is such an interesting topic for me, because, as a man, I am completely consciously aware that culture and societal norms have informed me that women shouldn't have hair on their legs/armpits/whatever. I know this is conditioning. Women should do whatever the fuck they want to do. I know that I'm being played…

Hate me if you must, but I'm kind of liking Katy Perry's hair here. Granted it's not a clear shot, but I do sort of dig it.

That's what the synagogue where I teach did when they showed up. When I was little everyone would freak out if some random teenager drew a swastika in chalk down the block, but when Westboro sauntered up to remind us all that God hates kikes all the kids were told: don't react at all, they're a bunch of dorks who want…

It's niacin. The secret to everything is niacin.

as a learned woman of psychology, i confidently diagnose rob lowe with a moderate to severe case of asshatery - not in the DSM, but a serious condition nonetheless.

I think she's great and figuring out the problems of why a person has trouble with relationships, and I love when she tears into an insecure asshole. Other than that, she's mean.

I don't think these people were Catholics.

This post has been amended to clarify that said rapper has but one Bone to his name.

It's Krayzie BONE. Singular! Geez, Mom.

Gosh, I hope this starts a trend whereby ALL reality shows feature a BTNH episode

The ol' 'It could be worse, so shut up' argument. Ironclad.

Shhhh. It hurts more when you fight it.

not a Catholic Church.

That's not at all what I'm suggesting. I'm saying that it's better to say no than say yes and be resentful about having said yes. And I do think that brides should recognize that it's expensive and a big time commitment, and not everyone is at the point in their lives where it's possible, and if a bridesmaid says no…

If you think middle-class Americans can "afford to get anywhere in the world in a day or less," then I think you have some misconceptions about the financial resources of middle-class Americans and the price of a last minute international airfare.

How about: As a person, I deserve to get what I pay for on time and consistently, and be treated, by the companies I patronize, with basic respect and dignity during the whole experience. If a plane is delayed and that delay makes people miss their connections, reasonable compensation should be offered. If a flight…

Since when do brides or their moms EVER pay for their bridesmaids' gowns? And, believe it or not, it's hard for people to say no when asked to be in a wedding of a good friend. Saying no can make you feel like you aren't being a good friend, so people say yes even if the wedding is going to be a hardship.
