Thank you! I am so disappointed that Jezebel is feeding these flames. I remember when this site had a slight feminist bent but that is so long gone. Yeah, lets all mock a young woman who dared to get drunk and act kinda dumb in her early 20s, and chatter on about how hilarious/tragic it is that she dare to have…

Yikes, that does not sound female friendly! I am glad I work in social service where that shit would get you fired STAT. You sound tough; I would definitely feel both annoyed and threatnened that a man felt that it was okay to touch my ass in any context. I mean, to me, that has surpassed microaggression territory to…

The Mutter is worth full price. Heh.

It's an amazing museum of medical anomolies in Philly.

Wow, you better be living a seriously ethical and green life to be so judgemental. She's "an asshole" for having a third child? And for trying to be as enviornmentally friendly as possible within that structure? We live in a deeply flawed society, everyone is at least a little hypocritical, including (I am willing to…

Yes! My icon is tough again!

My hair is pretty fine, but more wavy (until I put the stuff in...then BAM!). Yeah, I think you might have gotten it—Deva Curl seems like it makes hair more curly, and maybe if your hair is already super curly it doesn't seem so great.

Oh man, that is rough! I am sorry that was your experience. I do feel really lucky that my dad and I have had time to make amends and forge our weird but good relationship. Had he passed away even a few years ago, we wouldn't have had that.

I don't know, what I am getting from people's responses to this piece is that the Oscars are totally pointless, and taste is subjective. I don't know if Meryl "deserved" to win, because I don't really know what "deserve" means in this context. I think that Meryl is an amazing actress, but I also think that the Academy…

Lindy on Jezebel?!!?! It's like my two fave written things combined!

I think a lot of people at least found the Help really problematic. I think the performances were awesome, but definitely found it patronizing and at least a little dumb.

So it's racist to assert that there might still be racism in our society? I don't follow.

I agree! Very grumpo vibe today.

Yeah, social networking can definitely get ugly!

No no, I agree that it is glorious, but I still see it as the more passive aggressive solution. You just vanish, where I see defriending as more of an active statement. I guess it's just a matter of interpretation. Heh.

Really? I find blocking more passive aggressive. When you block, the person doesn't really know what happened. Maybe you just deleted your account or something. Defriending is like "Oh yeah, I still am here, we're just not friends." For the record, I have done both.

Now I am 31, so it's not like I am still some starry eyed teen. I disagree and since it was my own experience, I think I would know better than you on this particular point.

Ooooh, exciting! I have always wanted to go there. I lived in NYC my whole freaking life and never went. Maybe next time I am home for a visit. I would love to be surrounded by other curlies! Curlies who don't straighten all the damn time!

Well, I guess everyone's hair is different. But I have seriously never heard anyone else not like Deva Curl. I guess nothing is perfect for everyone, but it is great for a lot of folks. They are pricey, but I find that their stuff lasts a really long time and a little goes a long way. Sorry if I sound like I am in a…

Oh man, that Modern Family scene made me tear up. When my dad found out I lost my virginity, he took me out to dinner (to lull me into a false sense of ease maybe? I could never figure it out), called me a slut in public (loudly), tried to force me to press charges against the guy (I was 15 and he was a lot older.…
