Okay; the chambermaid who accused Dominique Strauss-Kahn is a liar. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t rape her. And here’s the upshot: other rape victims – once again – face the “She made it up” crowd, who like to claim that these women asked for it, they wanted it, or it didn’t even happen. Yes, some women lie about being raped, but lots of us (yes, US) didn’t and haven’t and wouldn’t. Actually, most of us don’t even talk about it. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve never liked fake tans. As far as I’m concerned, if you want a tan, your have to work at it. Some people just can’t tan, and that’s fine.

That’s the most sure-fire way – other than counting the rings on your neck – to let people know you’re over 40. Read the rest of this entry »

Really, Anthony, really? Do you really think women get turned on by getting photos of men’s body parts? Come on; as much as men talk about them, they care more about their genitalia than any woman I know – especially we women over 40. We’ve seen ’em – and we don’t care. Read the rest of this entry »

They don’t use them; they don’t give them. Really; how hard is it to flick that little lever on the right side of your steering wheel? But, noooooo.
