Oops! It's actually a screenshot from the "About Barnard" video — hence my confusion. Change coming up. Read more

Also, to be fair, some people were speculating they'd give it to Johnson Sirleaf on her own. So it's not like they pulled three random ladies out of a hat — she was clearly already a contender, even if Karman and Gbowee were added later. (And yes, I've seen Karman's win described as a message of support for the Arab… Read more

Sounds great! Just to be clear, though, Chico Bag also folds up into itself. The little pouch is attached. Oh and also I use the word "fold" loosely — you can just stuff it in there. Read more

For what it's worth, my hair is very thick and it doesn't weigh it down at all. Read more

I keep making that mistake! Should be fixed momentarily. The irony is I've actually been to Redding but I've never set foot in Reading. Read more

It's definitely important, and the study authors acknowledge that themselves in the study writeup. They know more research is needed. Read more

Sorry about the menthol, everybody. Sometimes voice recognition makes a bizarro error and I don't catch it. Should be all better now. Read more

Ha, that is the silliest voice rec typo I've made in a while. Should be fixed momentarily. Read more

Definitely open to people of all genders in US and Canada. Need to check about farther overseas. Read more

It can totally be old! As long as you wrote it yourself. Read more

Maybe try a Jameson and soda with some lemon and plenty of ice sometime when you're feeling strong-stomached? This is my favorite drink ever. Read more

I have, and I know. And I think it's funny. Read more

To be clear, I actually think Kellogg did a fine job with her write-up — it's really the photo and caption that are the problem. And I'm not sure how things work at the LA Times, but she may not have been responsible for those. Read more

Voice rec typos are certainly weird-looking. Should be fixed now! Read more

That's an error. Fixed — should show up momentarily. Read more

Yes it is :) Read more

Actually I had the NY graph slightly wrong — the age of consent is 17 and so that should read "under 17" not "17 or younger." Should be fixed momentarily. Read more

@voteforme: I think it's a common misconception that Wikipedia is useless as a research tool. Should Wikipedia ever be your only source for something important? No. But it can be a great repository of links to more reliable sources, and it's pointed me to a ton of useful stuff, from scientific studies in real journals… Read more

Thanks for doing this! Do you have any thoughts on how we can help young women own their sexuality and emphasize how they feel rather than how they look? Sometimes the response to hypersexualization of girls is to promote a one-size-fits-all idea of female sexuality (and often one that shames women who want sex… Read more

@lisas: Why would it freak us out? Why would I think it would necessarily freak me out? Is that really your first reaction to reading that women believe they're having sex earlier than they otherwise would have? So what? Read more
