Not in a snotty way, but — how old are you? Because I remember the entirety of the 80s and 90s being taken up with hand-wringing about why The Young People weren't embracing the label of feminism. Heck, when Lilith Fair was happening, Sarah McLachlan was all over the place explaining that this wasn't a *feminist*…

It just seemed wrong to not look at them—to toss them in like they never existed, like it was easier to pretend they were medical waste, hardly worth a second thought.

When I came out, my mom told me:

I also had a mother like this. I always knew, sometimes deep down and sometimes right on the surface, that we were not all she had thought we would be, and she was deeply unhappy for much of her life. I don't doubt that we had something, or a lot, to do with this. But in all honesty, once I became an adult (maybe…

I totally understand where you're coming from. However, my mother used to tell me the same things, like she would have more money without me, and that me getting sick was an inconvenience to her and that she had to leave her job to have me and had to "start all over again." These are completely legitimate…

I understand why people would feel like they couldn't talk about this. If we're being honest about feelings here, I honestly felt no sympathy for the women above. To be honest, I saved all my sympathy for their children.

does nobody else think that both stories seem off? Even if he is a douche why would he out of no where repeatedly attack a woman for no reason. Like I don't believe it was as saintly as he says and that elevator snap was all the proof I need of his douchedom. Where was everyone at the dance? Like why we're they not…

In my very personal opinion (based on experience, as a child, but an opinion nonetheless), one of the biggest reasons domestic violence is rarely appropriately punished, and one of the biggest reasons women struggle to leave, is that domestic violence is seen as one of those things that is personal and between the…

I don't understand how Brad Pitt forgot to pack a tie to a wedding at his house.

i prefer passive-aggressive power generation. "I GUESS I can give you some electrons, it's not like i was using them or anything"

Activists claimed the naïve teens were being duped into making a propaganda film by adult advisors who had been paid off by pharmaceutical companies.

Canada, the UK, or Australia because of her use of university. Actually, it's "Madeupland," but with a British-influence twist.

Irresponsibility: posting public nude photos online while holding up a piece of paper that anyone with the most basic photoshop skills can make say anything.

If I were a man and some woman piped up with "I'm not a feminist..." I would look her in the eye and say "Excuse me. MEN are talking here" and then ignore her for the rest of the evening.

I think this is the only time I've had penis envy.

Oh, honey. If this doesn't scream "please like me, men! here's my tit!" I don't know what does.

I have a feminist necklace I like to wear. It's made of the severed testicles of every man who ever opened a door for me or told me I look pretty. Chivalry ain't dead, it's just castrated.

I wanted to say something longer or more emphatic. When the in-laws (or, God forbid, my parents) say something about how he won't "let" me do something, I feel the overwhelming need to show everyone that, if I can conceive, carry, and deliver a baby ... allowing him to participate in naming it is a courtesy I'm…
