  • Ugh

    Can we please stop using the word "chick" to refer to women? Even if it is someone who is texting your husband in the middle of the night.

  • noxious

    Hey AKASmith, she said the farts were noxious, vegetables while they can make people gassy, they generally aren't the cause of the toxic odor....I have yet to meat a vegetarian or vegan that has a problem with noxious farting, (and I'm a vegetarian myself)...the smell is most likely from excessive dairy or meat intake...to the person who wrote in this letter - I would suggest you have a casual conversation with your friend about eating MORE fruits and vegetables and cutting out dairy and meat. If you guys go out to lunch or stop before work for breakfast, stay away from the bagels with cream cheese, half and half in the coffee etc. Go for plain tea or coffee (no milk) salads, fruit etc. More often than not farts are a product of diet, and can be changed with diet. Usually when someone around me farts and I can't stand the smell I exclaim quite loudly, "Good God! What have you been eating?! Whaddaya have a dead rotting animal in there"

  • yes, yr right about being pregnant

    That anon post was from me, and me an my insensitivity forgot to consider pregnant women in my comment, as one poster pointed out, even when not showing the need to pee happens much more frequently when you're pregnant. So, Yes, very true. I guess also there's many women who also take their young children into the bathroom with them - although I've noticed some men's bathrooms with changing tables and these types of accommodations, mens rooms still have a far ways to go to go to catch up with this little inequality. I wonder how the fathers who have their young children with them feel about that.

  • Why not segregate the groper pervs instead?

    Hey ♀♀♂♀♀!, are you one of those woman-haters that got a user name here just so you could post your venomous bile so you can instigate and harass others? How old are you? Oh wait, were you banned and then forced to sign up again and the moderators here just haven't gotten around to banning you again? You won't change your misogynist ways...which is why maybe we should be considering separating you and your ilk from the rest of society. Because its people like you who are the precise reason why some woman would express interest in being "segregated" from idiot gropers, thats right I'm calling you an idiot groper and equating you with these public perverts who don't know how to behave like a human being...How 'bout instead of punishing all of womanhood for the stupidity of a few, we tattoo any gropers, harassers, and the like on their forehead so we can easily recognize them and stay away, we could go further and make separate buses, trains, bathrooms, waiting rooms etc, especially for these idiots, safely away from the rest of us and the 95% of men who don't grope women. Keep it up Mr. *&%-$#@*, what I think of when I see idiot men like yourself expressing themselves thusly with racist and sexist comments is that this world is moving toward a more inclusive and equal society, and you won't be getting away with it for much longer, image a groper on a subway who all of a sudden is confronted with the ire of not only the woman, but the people all around her who don't want society poisoned by that type of behavior, I'm sure there have been many men who have already been beaten to a bloody pulp for their inappropriate behavior by boyfriends and fathers, but personally if it were me, and someone groped me on the train, I'd take out my taser gun or mace which I purchased for this exact reason and give that guy a piece of my mind, I'd be pretty fun to watch him squirm, and every time he tried to get back up I'd tase him or mace him again, it's not that I hate men, it's just that I hate men who would grope women or otherwise harass them, my husband hates them equally for reflecting badly on all of manhood and the general dis respectfulness they show, if he were with me however and I were groped by some perv guy on the bus, that guy would be spending the next couple of days in the hospital and possibly a full body cast.
