I feel the same way about work.

My ex-husband and I NEVER fought. Clearly a sign that things were not right! Even when I could tell deep down he didn't agree or didn't want to do things a certain way, he would agree or claim to want to do things my way. He was a doormat who turned into a passive aggressive miserable person who hid away in front of…

Shelley Long was the hooker in Night Shift. Rebecca De Mornay was in Risky Business. I know this, because like you, I'm forty.

A related article on Feministing about SNL's lack of Latino actors playing Latino characters, which I was just reading: http://feministing.com/2013/11/05/snl…

Hopefully this doesn't turn into too big of a ranty tangent, but I'd like to say what I find most bothersome about the discussion of this law (both on Jez and elsewhere) and sexting in general, which is that it's just bizarre to me that so many people put on their 1955 hat and act like exchanging some nudity with…

This is all sickening but it's the "act like a slut, you'll get treated like a slut" comment that really gets to me. Because as far as I can tell, the only thing this woman is "guilty" of is existing in public. Which is this whole fucked up thing in a nutshell - if you're a woman, it doesn't matter what you do or…

"The attitude of "oh, well, you put yourself out there; get used to rape threats, then" is regressive, harmful and silencing."

Sonofaseacook, there's a name for this?!! Everyone's always just telling me I'm a miserable bitch. Hallelujah, I've been diagnosed!

"I was going to stay out of this section for that very reason but seeing a post from you usually means some possible conversation at least."

I do think another factor here is that for the most part (from personal experience), men and women have different definitions of "clean."

And they played a part in deciding their fates when they stayed alive in the basement, and when they fought every chance they had to get out and when they finally caught someone's attention and made it out alive. I was completely disgusted when she implied all these actions hadn't been them deciding their fates.

I carry a gun every day, and I fly regularly with my firearm in checked baggage so I'm familiar enough with this particular situation to say that this woman is not being a safe gun owner if she can honestly say that she got all the way to the airport security checkpoint without once being mindful of her belongings. …

Again, you fail to miss the point. The argument here is that the label of feminism is irrelevant. All women, and to take that further anyone being marginalized, such as minorities or the LGBT community, should always keep fighting for true equality. She is specifically saying that the argument over what feminism is…

Short answer is that you can't challenge a law on constitutional grounds based upon any argument that the law could anything. It has to actually do the thing you're afraid of; there has to be a violation for there to be a challenge.

I have zero issues with pet gifts. Zero.

I read somewhere about the "village" of "it takes a village" and when we were babies (or before that) people had a village they could count on of extended families and close friends. So the raising of the child would fall not only onto the parents but the grandparents, the aunts, the cousins, the siblings…

And a huge part of the problem I think is that people associate dark with scary and ugly.

1. Kathy Bates is a goddamn national treasure. SHE GETS WHAT SHE WANTS

I've never bought anything from them, but Gap's offshoot Athleta carries quite a few plus sized options that go up to 2x. I have Gap running pants that I love, and that haven't worn or rolled or lost stretch yet (and I have some serious upper thigh rub going on), and I wear that specific pair two or three times a…
