Also, for the record? This question showed up in my inbox 81 times. So that's fun.

I do, and that is something that has developed over time. It's not like I never trust men (I do and have), and it's not even that I automatically distrust all men (I don't). But if we're talking about "men" in the most general sense of the word, then it would be correct to say I don't easily trust them.
I'm not sure what you want me to elaborate on. The reasons why? Most would be covered in that article. A lot of it is in the interest of self-preservation.
It may not be fair or appear to be fair, but all the things that lead me here aren't exactly fair either. -
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!

No, not really. I've seen a couple pay per views, and that's about it.

Um, what?
I leave him with his clothes and towel. Because I'm not an ass. :) -
Thanks, I suppose, but my current avatar trumps all photos of myself.

That's kind of insulting, don't you think? Like people can't be smart and live in Ohio? Do you know me and know where I've lived and what I've seen of the world? Perhaps I choose to live in Ohio. Maybe the only thing keeping me here is that I (gasp) like it?
And yeah, I know I'm not ugly. But thanks? -

I think it's up to the person who wants it or is thinking about it to decide if it's the right thing for them. I don't particularly care, for instance, for breast implants, mainly because I think many cases involve conforming a woman's body to meet men's standards, and that makes me sad. (As in "your body is beautiful already, you don't need to change it and I wish you believed that" sad, not as in "breast implants themselves make me sad." If that makes sense.) I suspect there aren't nearly as many men out there getting plastic surgery to conform to women's standards. There are some, of course. But my guess is it's highly disproportionate.
That said, I do sympathize with people who are uncomfortable with their bodies in general or with one part of their body. If they think plastic surgery is necessary, then by all means, that's their body and they should do want they need/want with it. I do think anyone considering it should know the risks and all that -- it's usually serious surgery, and shouldn't be done on a whim.
*I hope it's understood I'm talking about "elective" plastic surgery. There are countless plastic surgeries as a result of injury, disease, etc., which I would not necessarily call "elective." -
Both! But not at the same time. Add liquor to this list as well, I drink that too. But none of them often. I'm trying to remember the last time I had an alcoholic beverage ... and I think it was more than a month ago, at dinner at a Japanese restaurant. Had a bottle of Kirin Light. And it was goooood.

OF COURSE I DO. What kind of question is that?!

Um, no? Although my feminism is no secret, I don't go up to people, whether they've been in my life since I was 5 or I met them 5 minutes ago, and say "Hey, I'm a feminist. FYI." (That could be fun though!) And it wasn't like I woke up one day and realized I was a feminist. It was a process that started loooong ago, and the more I educated myself, the more I realized how feminist I am, and why. (That is still an ongoing process, by the way.)
This isn't to say everyone likes it or even cares, or that it doesn't create some awkward situations. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the reason a couple people I used to talk to on a regular basis no longer talk to me. Which would be sad, if that's the case, but I don't what I could do about that. I am who I am and I believe what I believe. No doubt it's going to rub some people the wrong way. I wish they'd stick around and hear me out, but I can't force people to do that. -
Why is either "fatiguing"? I don't know that I'd use that word at all. It's kind of presumptive for you, the question asker, to use it, in fact.
Both can be tiresome -- as in "I can't believe I STILL have to talk about this/point that out/explain something." Living feminism is, for me, mostly second nature at this point in my life. Talking about it is often frustrating. I constantly feel like I'm repeating myself, and because of that I'm constantly trying to find news ways to express what I'm trying to say. And then I'm still not sure I'm being heard or understood. I want to scream, often, "how do you not GET IT?"
But those kinds of frustrations are nothing compared to what so many women deal with on a daily basis. In the end, I don't really care about the frustration. It's worth it if just one more person understands even one aspect of what feminists are trying to accomplish. -
No, I don't think that's what he's doing. (Although it could be. Who knows what goes through his mind).
I think his problem is that he can't see past his religion. He's selfish and self-important. The very idea that he thinks HIS religious views are a reason to hold up a bill that affects people of every religion, and those who don't believe in any religion, across this entire country is pure selfishness. He may think he's acting on behalf of his constituents, and I can't say if he is or isn't -- I don't know what his constituents think about the health care bill, but they are the ones who elected him -- but all he cares about, in this case, is HIS religious beliefs. -
... my favorite.
... what I'm always trying to create.
... something I wish everyone had more of. -

Hmm. I'm fond of Ohio, but I don't know if we're in love. Location-wise, it's decent enough. You can drive to many places in 12 hours or less, and I appreciate that. No real complaints people-wise, though I wish the state weren't so Republican at times. (OK, most of the time.) The hot humid summers can suck. That said, I've lived in the state most of my life, and even moved back here after leaving it for a number of years. So I must like it well enough. :)

It's like you're asking which hair on my head is my favorite. There are so many to choose!
I will say I have read an AWFUL lot of books by both Joyce Carol Oates and Stephen King. I own more books by Oates than I do any other author, by far. She ranks among my top 5 favorites. So does Michael Chabon and Barbara Kingsolver. And I love Judy Blume and Beverly Cleary. And so many more that it physically pains me to answer this without listing every author I've ever considered to be my favorite... -
We're not 100 percent sure (no vet weigh-in yet), but our best estimate is 18 or 19 pounds. Estimate achieved by standing on the scale alone, and then while holding him. :)

Probably Chris Jericho. That's my answer today, at least.

Feminist and politically liberal. Probably in that order.
