I’m looking at her arms, and envying her muscle tone.

She looks great, but even if it wasn’t a flattering picture of her I wouldn’t care because I wouldn’t expect people to look their best all the time

And she should be able to enjoy herself without being spied on all the time.

As almost always when there is a headline that is a question, the answer is “no.”

That is just infuriating. I’m not even an OBGYN, but I do understand their reticence to give up their careers, their income, even their lives, challenging this horrible law. Facing 99 years in jail, leaving my family destitute, my kid fatherless, I suspect I would do the same. Actually, I would hope I would have the ability to relocate, but that is not always an option, even for folks who are not exactly financially limited. Being pregnant in TX is a very, very bad idea at this point in time.

I clicked through and yeah, barf indeed, but the headline fooled me. I thought she was being rude as in haughty – like a princess.
But no, it’s instead that she doesn’t make eye contact with waitstaff because that’s the man’s job. Not “her” man’s job; she belongs to him, but that doesn’t go the other way. So, a princess in the sense that she recommends using wiles coded as feminine-submissive to get a rich guy to lavish you with riches befitting royalty.
Anyway, ugh either way.

As somebody who spent a while working in retail, which as a service industry is fairly close kin to food service, I can’t imagine being rude to waitstaff. They’re fellow people doing their best in a really hard role and they deserve kindness and consideration as much as anybody else, no matter what gendered (or non-gendered) playbook you wanna go by.
Even when I was younger I didn’t have much patience for old-fashioned gender roles, and I’ve got much less for that now. Sure, a healthy relationship has a certain amount of give-and-take, but I make my own choices and I’m capable of ordering my own food, even paying for it myself in the early stages of dating to make sure there are no unwarranted expectations. Later on it’s fine to go with “I’ll get our lunch if you’ll pick up what we need for dinner,” negotiating when money’s tight, all that stuff. It’s nice to be pampered sometimes, I’ll freely admit that, but I can’t conceive of demanding it 24/7 or giving up my agency completely to anyone. It’s not who I am. If that makes me difficult, or less attractive, so be it. 
Anybody who wants that in a partner won’t be happy with me anyway, better to find out early on to avoid too much grief.
As mentioned in the article, it’s doubly foolish to be rude or dismissive of the people who are handling the food you’re about to eat…

Secondhand Jenga?? Ugh, they suck.
Herman’s Ornamental Hermits is the band that still rocks my hermitage.

I need to be reminded of the garage band one of my kids was in. Probably an obscure name, right?

Oh my God that would be the best themed tribute act ever.
