Most men know what their ‘perfect girlfriend’ would look like, but physical traits and personality preferences are usually different depending on where you live in the US.

The results showed that the ‘average’ girlfriend had shoulder-length, middle-parted, light brown hair, blue eyes, a natural makeup look and a streetwear style.

Trump Isn’t Merely Unhinged – The Atlantic

admin

With apologies to a certain newspaper’s slogan, many of Donald Trump’s most dangerous statements hide in the plain light of day.

The problem is not that they don’t get reported on—they do—but even so, they are easy to tune out, perhaps because he’s been saying outlandish things for so long that people simply can’t bring themselves to parse the new ones; or perhaps because they’ve become accustomed, or at least numb, to his utterances; or perhaps because they don’t want

When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Diana Greene Foster made a painful prediction: She estimated that one in four women who wanted an abortion wouldn’t be able to get one.

And she was well aware of what this statistic meant. She’d

The Abortion Backlash Reaches Ohio

admin

Officially, abortion had nothing to do with the constitutional amendment that Ohio voters rejected today. The word appeared nowhere on the ballot, and no abortion laws will change as a result of the outcome.

‘Be Mine’ Shows the Trump Era Through Frank Bascombe’s Eyes

admin

Half a century ago, at the 1974 Adelaide Festival of Arts, in South Australia, John Updike delivered a muscular manifesto: “We must write where we stand,” he said. “An imitation of the life we know, however narrow, is our only ground.” His call for accurate and specific witness, for a realism dedicated to the here and now, was surely in part an apology for the repeat appearances of Harry “Rabbit” Angstrom, the former high-school-basketball star Updike called his “ticket to
