This feels a bit like comparing Barbie with Hilary Clinton - both around the same age and female, but that's where the similarities end. It does a disservice Malala and all other campaigning females. Malala isn't awesome because she's compared to Bristol Palin. Malala is awesome full stop.

this article just seems kinda mean. I wouldn't want to be compared to Malala either.

I met my wife on halloween I was dressed as Snape, and she was dressed as Harry Potter. It was love at first sight.

For us, the "about the couple" was purely to give some background for extended relatives who might not have had an opportunity to meet the spouse-to-be. So I guess it wasn't so much "about the couple" as it was "about each half of the couple," I suppose. We just wanted great-aunt Mildred from Wisconsin to feel less…

you met, "became" very good friends, and then very very good friends? (I am not good at this.)

Now I have to tell the story of the time I took advantage of being home alone when I was 11 to belt "I Dreamed a Dream" in my bedroom. When I got to the big note, "So different now from what it seeeeeeeeemed!" my cat ran into my room and bit her way up my arm before sinking her teeth into my neck, vampire style, to…

Reminds me of this Tumblr post, captioned "How do I tell my mom that this "minimalist wooden nativity set" she put up just looks like a forest of dildos"

I suspect the person from the NRA who wrote that piece of copy was not thinking of the victim whose rapist is her husband, boyfriend, co-worker or someone else she knows well. That slogan buys into the "rapist who jumps out of the bushes" myth.

Agreed. Aside from the blatantly racist (and rage-inducing) application of this law and others like it so far, this law is poorly worded, poorly constructed, poorly conceived. It's a sign of a bad law that such an obvious contingency like domestic violence isn't addressed somewhere in it (or in regular self-defense…

Stand your ground doesn't make much sense with intruders, and it also doesn't make any sense here. You can't just kill people.

I am beyond sick and tired of hearing SAHMs complain about their long resume of "chef, maid, chauffeur and bookkeeper all rolled into one!"

I feel the same. It totally looks like a letter my grandparents would send.

I think you're conflating 'targeted to' for 'just for'. I mean, it's like getting upset over labels like shoujo. As a guy when I'm watching something like Sailor Moon, I'm very much aware that Sailor Moon is targeted towards women. That doesn't mean guys are excluded or not allowed to be fans, everyone just…

True. I know of an opposite scenario (woman hitting on man on the subway) that led to marriage. There is a niche for public stranger interaction (though in fairness to Jezebel it's probably not done well very often).

I find the "Only attempt to date women you encounter at bars or through friends." viewpoint on Jez to be a bit much and not practical advice for single people. Hence why I don't say much on these articles.

Can I be candid? I let a guy pick me up on the subway once. Why did I let him? Because he was obviously interested in me, but was polite, deferential, and, when I told him I was going to law school in the fall, answered that he had just graduated law school and was interning at the UN. So- smart and could…

This is SO tone-deaf and hits on ALL the street harassment points I almost think it's a parody—but then again, so many dudes genuinely think like this, that who knows anymore. Perhaps we've hit peak Internet?

The best part of his letter is the disclaimer at the end:

black pearls are also pretty.
