Nailed it. I found the article really offensive to both sexes; it paints women like desperate lonely cat ladies who are constantly worrying about the state of their Baby Boxes, and men as skirt-chasing dolts who only equate a woman's worth to the date on her birth certificate.

While I love Philip Seymour Hoffman's work and am not a huge fan of Drake, I thought Questlove's response (basically noting that African-Americans don't end up on the Rolling Stone cover much at all and Drake was right to be excited about it) was really interesting.

Yeah, this whole idea that women should withhold sex so that men are forced into marrying them if they want to get laid (because why else would a man ever want to commit to a relationship, amirite?) is fucked up and pretty insulting to both men and women. It sounds like one of those shitty PUA tactics where they're…

I would go husband hunting, but hunting licenses have been really hard to get ever since the local husband population was decimated by chick flicks and demancaveification.

Lorde~ the other day, dude took me to get frozen yogurt (I only eat that shit once a year, and I just had to have it in subzero weather). So I'm kind of dancing around him trying to shove a mouthful of it near his face, and he's swatting it away while he's smoking, and a Lorde song is finishing up over the outdoor…

Oh, and also rest assured that he WILL have that quad nailed by the next Olympics. No doubt in my mind.

I'm so, so sorry to hear about your friend. Losing someone to suicide is a special kind of hell. I'm glad you have a therapist to talk to. Be good to yourself. Grief is so draining. It helps to get plenty of sleep and practice good self-care.

I am sorry for your pain. I know it feels like you will never be happy again but in time the pain will be less. It won't happen quickly but one day you will wake up and realize things don't suck so bad anymore. Hang in there.

BURN IT ALL TO THE GROUND.

Ugh yes. The freeze out is more likely to make me want to pull an Anya-from-Buffy than make me want anything to do with a guy. After you've left school (or graduated from university, for the late bloomers), there is no excuse. It's just plain rude.

i wish i could give you all of mine.

WHY DO I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH JENNY MCCARTHY ON A THING HELP

Honey. I am so sorry.

Not judging here, but this is concerning as it's not healthy for you— emotionally and physically. It seems to be further isolating you, and preventing you from having connections with other people. It also seems like he is taking advantage of you in a way. He knows you're vulnerable as you've been isolated for a long…

I feel exactly the same. For some reason it's just so disappointing that people I otherwise admire will happily work with him.

I am dying waiting for PhD admissions results. I don't know how I am going to make it and wait three more weeks. It isn't a big deal when I am busy, but my work has been terribly boring over the past couple weeks and I literally keep refreshing GradCafe, even though I know my schools do not release anything before…

Please, please do not think I am judging you, because I am not. This relationship sounds very unhealthy, though. He is your father. If he wants to help you out with school loans or whatever, great, but it should come with no strings attached. The fact that you feel you "owe" him for helping you out is not right.
