The way this thread is going, you should have called it "Pieces of MenstruEIGHT". Thank you, I'll be here all week. Try the tuna.

Seriously, on the "menstruation=disability" topic, I've heard self-described feminists argue both sides.

A: "You're sexist because you think that menstruation makes women less capable!"
B: "You're sexist because you refuse to recognize how crippling menstruation is!"

It is tempting to say that when the same objective conclusion is interpreted two different ways to reach the same conclusion, there's some begging the question going on, but of course it isn't entirely an objective phenomenon. I think some of that may have to do with the individual woman's experience - I've known some women to describe it as very painful and inconvenient, and others who say they never feel any cramps, bloating, mood changes, etc. at all.

Whoa, I am way off. Sorry, my bad. But wait, what?

Yeah, I realize I lack biological standing to weigh in on this one, but I gotta think that, the initial awkwardness aside, developing breasts isn't exactly perceived by girls as a bad thing. Quite the contrary, in fact, I should think. And hey, what if your girlfriend's dad is hot?

I was poking around here to see if I could find the answer and I'm starting to get a sinking feeling that NSF may be including the, um, social sciences, in its science and engineering figures.

Relevant definition (emphasis added) here:

I'm pretty sure if your erection lasts longer than 2 years you're supposed to see a doctor. At least that's what the good people at Pfizer tell me.

Man, FRICTION. I mean, Jesus Christ with a laser gun, monkeys manage to masturbate. It's *not* something that needs to be taught, at least to guys.

Women...some of them could use a lesson. But not men.

Just for the record, I wanted to point out that I never said breasts were a bad thing.

I did suggest that they could be distracting. There's a difference!

I mean far be it from me to...um...complain. It's not that. But they can be distracting.

Detachable penis, I've heard of. Detachable hands, that's a new one to me. I would have thought they'd have keyed connectors or something.

To be fair to my national policy initiative, only a part of it is educational. The rest is medicinal. If Warren needs two homerooms per day, I'm willing to do that. For the Nation.

This thread really has taken a nose dive, and it really is all Warren's fault.

If it turns into Warren talking about how he discovered himself, I'm gonna go slam my head in a door.

...and no, that isn't meant as a euphemism for anything.

this is what we get for not repudiating the gay agenda in the previous thread!

no no don't you read your santorum?

see we tolerated gay marriages in the previous thread and now we're knee deep in onanism.

and with that i will go take a shower with clorox.

hence the clorox!

I cannot actually envision the positioning that Warren is describing, but then I am really not trying very hard.

I think MK is saying that he is not hot because he eats many Edy's lime bars.

I eat a lot of lime bars.

Well not anymore actually. But I went on a binge a little while ago that was real after-school special fodder.

At some point you have to make a decision. Am I going to be a hot dad? Or will I eat many delicious Edy's lime bars? So far the decision has been pretty easy to make and not just because I am not an ephebophile.

I have to confess that I don't know anything about Edy's lime bars. I have been to a few wine bars.

That would be me...and that's my bad, yo.

Yeah, with Warren you never want to ask unless you're ready to hear the answer.

oh, no one is disputing that, Warren.

Fortunately for me, nothing really squicks me out, so I did spend some time picturing the logistics of what you described...

still pretty weird, killer.

WAY TMI.

I could quite happily have gone several geological epochs without knowing that.

I see 106 guests here! That's a record, isn't it?

Surely they didn't all come just to learn more about Warren's Amazing Reverse Technique, did they?!
