I break "sex" in the office into three categories:
1. Men or women fighting over who is the alpha sex god of their own gender. Think shoulder pad gals and buffed dudes.
2. The battle of the sexes – Man vs Woman.
3. The battle for the sex – some people need to get it on, and there's competition between the players.

Mix these three together and you have (love) life in the office.

[...] I recently discovered Lululemon and their stranglehold on yoga pants fashion (thanks to Penelope Trunk for mentioning them). I found a picture online, but sadly, the page didn't mention the style. [...]

You might want to add "having a miscarriage" to this list.

it was a broad consensus that the world was flat… *rolls her eyes*

i for one was raped in a parking garage years ago and since i started running, i refuse to run in the dark. the one time i was out running past sunset, i couldn't stop looking behind me. even in the daylight i turn my mp3 player off if i see anybody in the vicinity or on the sidewalk in front of or behind me. it's just common sense.

in all truth, a guy who's going to rape a woman while she's out in public will do it for many reasons, some unpredictable. once he puts his mind to it, it doesn't matter what she's wearing or how her hair is styled. mine was in a pompadour when i was attacked, but i still wear a pompadour sometimes. take it easy, people.

Don't worry, Larry. Not many readers actually trust PT.

Well, PT never lets facts get in the way of a story. Look at her biographies.

It's been said before, but I can't go without reiterating: That ponytail thing is bullshit. Especially since most rapes are not perpetrated by strangers at all. I'm horrified someone that is obviously trusted and respected by a number of people would post this.

While I am new reading this blog, your (and others) comments tell me that Ms. Trunk produces or spews more material without actually verifying it.

Kind of like throwing 100 darts at a dart board, she is bound to get a bullseye just due to numbers but also might hit the wall next to the board sometimes too…

Penelope,
How should a guy wear his hear if he wants to get attacked at night by some of those women joggers. I've seen them and a lot of them have great asses.
