my dd will be 4 mo in a week, i'm still shedding a lot. is this normal? how long is the hair loss supposed to last? When did it stop for those of you who have experienced it?

I was really worried about this at first as our kitty is pretty jealous but so far it's been ok. Even though we don't usually cosleep she wouldn't even come on the bed for a month or two after dd was born. She's just starting to again. I...

My nephew is 7. Long story short, a few days ago my sister and I were explaining transexuality/transgender/gender roles to him. I had explained that sometimes people have surgery if they really wanna change sexes. The next day they're at...

I touched on this in my senior thesis (sociology - on public gender based harassment) as an undergrad. I'm forgetting how to spell her name, but Hille Koskela? wrote about the phenomenon, calling it the "fear paradox" since...
