That's what I got out of this. Mountain Dew for kids= not awesome. The real shittiness of this news is that schools are scrounging for cheap, quick-fix solutions to improve test scores any way they can.

"But of course it's obviously because five-year-old boys are disproportionately working in STEM jobs and haven't opted for the 'mommy track.'"
I did for about a year ($3 a week) when I was nine, and then my parents realized they were giving me $12 a month and they discontinued it immediately.
I've been having an imaginary love affair with Elizabeth Warren for about two years now. I love Hillary but part of me is definitely bummed that if she runs, Warren won't...
Ugh. Matthew McConaughey looks like he would be so bad... Could you imagine that sweaty body on top of you, and then hearing him whisper in your ear, "all right, all right, all right." Bleugh.
Right, I get that. I was being facetious.
Yeah, I really got into the last three seasons, but before the premier of this season, I was kind of questioning whether I really wanted to get caught up in the mire again. I love the depth and evolution of the characters, the development of the storyline, and the twists and turns, but Jesus, does EVERY episode have…
Oh, fuck...
That made me lawl so damned hard...
This sounds like a sitcom I would definitely watch. I picture an opening theme (I'm trying to think of something other than the "Small Wonder" theme song and I CAN'T) in which Grandma Hillary gives Kim Jong Un a birthday card and he opens it up and takes out a five dollar bill. Then he smiles and hugs Hillary while…
For reals. We need to have like, the exact same commercial, but have it end with a Hallmark announcer saying "so how do you thank Mom for all that sleep-deprived, mentally and socially isolating labor? You could protest for equal pay legislation and subsidized childcare, or you can pick up a greeting card at the gas…
How do you figure? Because the natural assumption is that all SAHPs come from comfortable white suburban families? Only 5% of married stay-at-home mothers had family incomes exceeding $75K a year. http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2014/04/08/aft…
No, dear. Grossing $45K means you take home $30K.
My favorite part: "coincidence? I think not."
Ohhh, interesting. I wouldn't have guessed at all that Italy would allow abortion, just considering its ties to the Vatican. I just figured it was probably on the same page as Ireland and the more conservative countries of Latin America. Thanks for looking it up!
Well I'm glad you pointed that out! The "also" makes your "I've never understood why so many moms out there are in constant need of approval" remark so much less obnoxious now. PHEW!
It's bullshit, but not for the reasons you point out. Quit needlessly fanning the flames of the mommy wars.
Ugh. The corporate faux concern over the plight of mothers is as bullshitty as pink washing. It's a lame ass cheer for inequality and social policies that force women to bear the larger load of childrearing without any social support, like subsidized childcare, universal healthcare, or equal pay laws. Everyone seems…
Oof. I knew that if I just scrolled down far enough in the comments, I was going to see this. And I was like "Faithm, just stop scrolling now," but I couldn't...
