Feminism, I believe, is shitting all over tons of women so that you can build up one specific woman.

The thing is, there are so many different types of parents raising kids who have ASD, and the ones who aren’t crazy don’t get any press. This woman is not some sort of sympathetic face for how hard it is to raise kids with disabilities, she is an outlier who weighed the risks against the benefits and made a poor…
This is an outsider’s take, which makes sense.

I wish there were a button I could hit where a swarm of females come out of nowhere and beat his ass. That’s how that video should have ended.
As I said before, it’s just straight up dystopian and unbelievable. I’m sorry, I hope your parents are doing better financially now.
I’ve spent the last two years as a sahm (not by choice). Lemme tell you. This shit IS emotional labor. I am constantly putting on a “good face” for the well being of my kiddo and my husband. For his family and for my kids teachers. Always the smiling, happy, ready to please mom of ____ and wife of _____. By the…
“ In the past few years, the concept of emotional labor has gone mainstream on social media and in articles that revive and expand the idea, with the term moving out of the workplace and insidiously into our homes.”
Yes, that sometimes happens with words in a language. A word that started with a particular definition…
At work, you get paid for your emotional labor. In a relationship, you get paid in reciprocation. Any kind of labor CAN be a joy. If you’re dreading it, there’s an imbalance in the relationship.
It sounds like the original term might have been more precise if it were “emotional capitalism,” because that makes it clear that it refers to the emotional labor that is performed for money. The terminology wasn’t right from the beginning and it makes a lot more sense in its broad application now. The idea that you…

Mordin may not be my favourite Mass Effect character, but he has the best moment in the entire trilogy.
Nonsense. Melania knows how to raise children. After all, the greatest principle in Melania’s life is that she may not harm, nor allow by inaction to come to harm, a human being. The second-greatest principle in Melania’s life is that she must obey all orders given to her by a human being, unless such orders would…
FANPERSONS: Comic book movies don’t need to be callous, effects-laden spectacles made in a factory to print money for the studios! They can be artistic! They can be dramas, with as much to say about the human condition as any Oscar bait film! They should be considered seriously in the cultural conversation!
How lucky her motorcycle crashed during the golden hour.
A lot of it could be overcompensation for not having a girl/mini-me to get mani/pedis with or dress in matching outfits with. Gender disappointment is real!
You forgot to add, consumer culture and the obligatory accoutrement to go with your identifier and hashtag. Off to Etsy for cutesy matching t-shirts for the whole family, etc.
It’s times like this I’m glad that the doctor’s put down the wrong gender on the birth certificate for me. As a trans man, yes, it took years to pick through the psychological hurts and walls developed by being forced into a ‘girl’s role’ growing up in the deep south (like... A) gendered roles suck anyway, and B)…

“I think of as the unfortunate spawn of Guy Fieri fucking a school bus.” Dude:
Every time this discussion happens, the superb WaPo article is mentioned, and like clockwork there is a subset of commenters who think their brains are just simply wired better that the rest of us.
Agreed. She just took professional organizing to the masses. Most people can’t afford to hire a professional organizer but lots of people have access to the internet. Kondo’s detractors are just mad they didn’t think of it first.
