"2 steps forward, 2 centuries back, lately" Yes, THIS, this exactly! ):

I totally agree, especially about it being an "unnecessary affliction". I think it's even worse that right now it's not considered a valid disorder at all. Read up on priapism and find that medical science has not only a host of treatments, but a list of documented causes. But when it's a vagina that suffers, we get…

Just a side note, the article mentions that suffers of PGAD seem to present Torlov cysts in much greater ratios than the general population, but it does NOT mention it as cause or contributing factor. The cysts might in fact be merely a symptom or a side effect, as the cause is unknown.

When "Physics" is used in the singular form, yes. In plural form, no.

I kinda agree with FTF that expecting a guy to change his name will likely encounter resistance, mainly because (from my limited experience) guys aren't brought up to even consider these kinds of things. The only guys I know who were open to changing their names to their partners' were guys who had previously…

Oh yeah, sure, goats always win. At least until you start having flashbacks of that time you were at the petting zoo when you were ten and your grandpa sent you into the pen with a bottle to feed the baby goats and they must have been hungry because they were crowding all around you and did I mention you were small…

Umm... hi, grown woman here. Neither 14 (nor 'teen' at all) nor college, binge drinker or otherwise. My panties all have things printed all over them, from words like "fierce" to unicorns and rainbows, adorable zombies, crowns, hearts, stars... and other stuff. Because I like wearing fun undies. No one can see them,…

Math! Oh, god, no! We all know that math is a gateway subject. It leads to all kinds of science, even engineering and computers!

If you want an example of (obvious) age discrimination, I have one from my last job interview. A little background: I'm about thirty, but I look young (I had an older gentleman at a party last week ask me if I was graduating this year, and what colleges was I looking at). I'm a teacher, have a Master's, have years of…

I did a little experimentation over the last few weeks since I've been using a lot of white and yellow onions for cooking, and putting the onions in the freezer for about 15 minutes fore cutting helps a LOT more than putting them in the fridge. With the freezer batch, cutting the onions was almost pleasant! I also…

So I kind of didn't understand these stories at first, because I'm 5'2 and dress casual even when I'm business-ing and while I experience some occasional got-bumped-into type rudeness, nothing at this level (and I travel frequently). So I turn to my mom to explain this and express my "?" and she says, "When you walk…

Look, you're just going to have to be tough with him. Tell him that he can't continue to be a lazy, milk-sucking bum. It might hurt, but you're doing it out of love!!

Since when do yearbooks have addresses? I moved around a lot as a child, and have a ton of yearbooks, and not a single one is anything other than a picture book with names in it. No addresses, no phone numbers, unless someone wrote it in their themselves when signing the yearbook. Also, how is a stranger going to get…

Actually, the separation of "work" and "home" as different spheres for women began in the early modern period, not the industrial. And BeTrollin is partially correct in connecting ancient times with an increase on rape, in that there were fewer laws to prevent men from raping, and many situations where a woman would…

a) You made me laugh out loud

Yeah, definitely. When I was in college, my dorm didn't have AC in the rooms, only in the lounges. So up until mid-September, the lounges were always occupied by sleeping girls, and then again from spring to finals.

I thought that the disturbing part about the moved body was possible foul play? Like, someone put her there after she was dead?

She said that she has only started to identify as asexual for a year and that she hasn't dated in a year.

"in the wrong"? Um, no. She made a choice, she was up front and honest and unlike Jimb043, she wasn't being mean-spirited. No, she was not "in the wrong", you are just a judgmental idiot. And yes, I read your other comment and Katie's response. You made a ton of assumptions about her and basically come off as creepy…
