It is visceral to me, as a woman. Rape is so brutally traumatizing, I hate it when people use it to back up a their own petty opinions about how other people relax on a forum. If you hate rape, and I do, then you wouldn't bandy it about carelessly in a trivial topic like this thread is doing.

What is the difference you see? I would be very interested to see you unpack that.

This is one of those complete myths that everybody thinks is true.

A patty of extra lean ground beef and a HUGE pile of roasted broccoli topped with lemon zest and a bit of parmesan.

6 weeks was about the time I fully realized that my husband was all I wanted. I was fully prepared to never marry. I had no real interest in getting married. I loved being alone and single as much if not more than being coupled. I have always cherished solitude. So, yeah, not only was 6 weeks enough time to convince me I…

Autism. There is no cure. I'm semi serious. It's a syndrome so you need to have a lot of different traits and habits together to be autistic. But this is one. It may be more extreme for us than what people are talking about, here. I am autistic and I once went three years having chipotle, bean chili for lunch every day.…

I've gotten Marilyn Monroe, Sarah Jessica Parker, Wynona Ryder, Tina Yothers and the poster girl for the Nazi party. I've also been told I reminded somebody of Holly Hunter but more in demeanor than looks.

And I am saying that comparing by weight isn't telling or informative. Pound for pound, my dog has a higher IQ than I do. That's an extreme example but you must get my point.

This isn't about healthy vs. processed, then. This is about calories dense food vs. calorie sparse food.

Why would you compare by weight? Wouldn't it make more sense to compare by calories? I don't know if that makes a difference. I'm just saying it's not a very fair comparison, doing it by weight.

My husband and I both work from home for our own business. I am up early and he sleeps most of the day and stays up late to be up for the London business hours. We needed to go to the DMV to get our registration sorted. He refused to let me go alone because it's boring and unpleasant. He stayed up all night and to go with…

I generally like "Dames". Or "Wimmins". But not if you are speaking because people might think you are saying "Womens" which is offensive or "Women" which is insulting. In a business setting, I'd prefer to be referred to as "Femonitron" or the plural "Femonitronia" because it conveys a certain professionalism.

It was a joke. Relax.

I am with you. My husband even puts the toilet seat down, too. It's been ten years, I forget how nice that is. Seriously, the worst thing about my husband is his mortality.

I am not entirely convinced you have a handle on why you are being called a bigot.

The implication of that word is that people who hate homosexuality are homosexual, themselves. The expression of hatred for gays and lesbians is actually a desperate attempt to cover up their own desires, of which they are terrified. While clearly not true across the board, there was a study that did find that the more…

I am currently reading Until I find You by John Irving and A Canticle For Leibowitz by Walter M Miller. Next up is Haroun by Salman Rushdie.

I just find, personally, that things seem to go a liiiiiiiittle bit easier for me than they do for my friends who are not white. There are just some things that aren't problematic for me but can be problematic for people with more melanin. Just seems that way. To me.

I can't help but notice that you are white.

If you can't afford to spay or neuter your pet, you can't afford a pet.

Nobody has the right to use another person's body in order to live. What situation are you thinking of that you think that right exists?

You have to expect some people are going to be terrible. That doesn't make me lose respect for the race. It's when people gather together and, in an organized, calm and well thought out fashion, do everything they can to do oppress other people that I wonder if this planet isn't better off without human beings. The…

My second toe is longer. My husband's second to is not longer than his first but it is connected to his third toe all the way up to the nail. Our dog is the head of the household.

I don't log my protein shake because it's only about 8 calories. :wink:

GWEN always the hottest ****'n girl in school with both personality and T & A (tits and *kitten*)think this was true of me for a minute sweetest, nicest girl you will ever meet. cries when watching movies or when anyone gets hurt. Brilliant smile and bubbly personality. Is unaware of just how beautiful she really is.…

I think I look amazing right now. I STILL don't think I look amazing in dressing rooms, though. At our age? No, ma'am. I dress with my eyes down then leave the room to look at myself in the mirror in the store.

BMI can't be bargained with. BMI can't be reasoned with. BMI doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

You just revoked the Joker's man card. That ain't right.

I also find those shows terribly motivating which I find odd. It doesn't make sense on paper that I would be motivated seeing a person struggling with morbid obesity when I'm just trying to get these last ten lbs off but I just really, really am.
