No. Being proud of her own success - at her career and at not getting pregnant - is not an implied criticism of other women.
Nah brah, those comments will start popping up late 2020 and intensify around 2025
Cue all the “sure it was just discovered moments ago, but why isn’t this material in mass produced products yet” complaints from people who don’t understand how hard this stuff is to do.
I was always shocked that the final 3L semester didn’t have “the Bar Exam” as an elective. I would’ve rather studied that in school than the random course I filled in with that was interesting, but provided no actual value.

I am an Old (Gen X), and my husband and I are the only one of our peers who didn’t get property purchased by parents, cars purchased by parents (in adulthood), or even who still live at their parents’ house.. and yes, we mean, in their 40s. A lot of them had their parents purchase them businesses like franchises or…
Gen X. We get nada.
At the end of law school (which is basically the worst for this sort of shit to start with), a woman who specialized in managing student debt came to speak to us. She explained that we shouldn’t take out a bar loan, because those loans are private. When someone asked how the hell we were supposed to pay for the bar…
WORD. Four tours done, and I'm telling you, the most exciting thing I like to do now is NOTHING. boring and quiet is GOOD, and I'm not nearly as rattled as most of my bros/sis-in-arms...
The enemy of my enemy is my frenemy.
It seems like I’m a minority opinion, but I really liked the ending of Mockingjay. How else could it have ended while staying true to the reality of the whole series? It honestly seemed as optimistic as possible to me. What else could Katniss do, other than survive, tenuously, with the only person who had suffered as…
I’m pretty sure that was the point. War didn’t magically solve these issues, and by the third book it’s abundantly clear that Katniss is suffering some pretty major PTSD. I’m always so surprised at people that were disappointed in Mockingjay, and how everything didn’t come to a neat, happy little resolution. I liked…
I think I must be the only person who appreciated the bleakness of the ending of the books. I remember reading Mockingjay and thinking, “now that is some real-life shit that I’m not used to seeing from YA.”
The series’s entire point is that, for average citizens, war rarely means triumph, it means trauma. You’re not supposed to have the catharsis of a typical war movie—Collins’s entire point is that that shit is an invention of the movies. It’s not supposed to feel “worth it” at the end.

This is as important a story as Deadspin has ever done. My contempt for Hardy, Jones and Goodell is matched only by my admiration for Diana’s epic reporting.
Not to brag or anything, but my dog already has her own REAL fur jacket.
The Xbox One’s integration with cable and satellite boxes is excellent, though it adds nothing at all if you’re a cord cutter.
