What's really upsetting about this story is that it's happening at the same time as reproductive rights restrictions. So: Don't have an abortion, don't have access to birth control, but once you have that kid, child care? You're on your own.
Is she really that popular, because I've never heard of herbivore.
I connect with this image on more of an emotional level though. Like in the same way I did when I was working as a nanny for this one family. They had a two year old boy with big blue eyes who was absolutely wonderful but would constantly beg me to pick him up ("Uppy! UPPY!!"). It always reminded me of someone when he…
LOL! I had the same MIL prior to my divorce. I know, I KNOW, I ruined America, AND my child's life by becoming a single mom. *sigh*
I'm pretty sure EveJay is male. He may or may not wear pearls, privately.
At least his Second Amendment rights are still intact. Because that's what's important these days.
My insurance plan from work includes a number of free visits to an employee counseling service for just this kind of thing. When you're pregnant the decision to stay home, go back to work, or figure out a part-time combo deal is a Major Life Decision you have to make and it can be really stressful for some people.…
Yeeeessss! There is this false dichotomy that you either work or stay at home, leaving little options for a hybrid of the two. The real dream is a flexible job where you get sufficient time at home. It's our social policy that draws a line in the sand. We either work to pay a caretaker or do it ourselves. Child care…
I was about to comment and say "Oh my gosh what bad moms, socialization is so important so daycare is necessary..." until I realized I'd be joining in the shaming. Reverse-shaming. :(
And then 33 years later he was brutally murdered. Way to go, Mary, you fuck up.
It's all about insecurity at the end of the day. Cruise around the comments section of any MRA blog and you see a bunch of insecure, whiney trolls, who can't get women. Basically they NEED women to be financially dependent upon them to secure "partnership." In their minds, a partner simply means guaranteed sex for…
A couple of weeks ago I was speaking to a fellow attorney who had absolutely no understanding of how a progressive income tax works. He honestly thought that if you went up a tax bracket that you make less money in total because they would then tax your entire income at the higher rate.
"What do kids learn? They learn from what they see at home."
Ew. Ew. Ew. The visual! It burns! <wanders off to find the brain bleach>
*throws change in tiger's cup, keeps walking*
I shit you not, the day I posted an article/personal comments on my Facebook regarding the Hobby Lobby decision, I received a full page message from a 20-year-old acquaintance about how I should be thankful that people are "finally sticking up for Christians" and that it's only ok for her to start birth control…
I really like this quote. It demands a giant [Citation needed] after it. "Hey look we just did a study, availability of contraception leads to lower unintended pregnancies and abortions, and lower spending on government programs" and they respond with: "No... no... studies show, exactly opposite of that! Yea, that's…
Yep. I was called a slut by an acquaintance for using BC in my long term, committed, monogamous relationship. I was like uh...sorry I value my and my partner's careers and other life plans? My bad?
Riiiiight, let's spend more time worrying about institutions that get $700 million bailouts when they screw up. Ffs. You seem not to understand what maternity leave is. It's a few weeks or months, after which you go back to your job, which is being held for you.
