You have more support from SW Utah. There are plenty of mormon and non-mormons alike who recognize that a woman can be a feminist, live within the church and work to change it. Ignore those who tell you otherwise and listen to those who respect you for your personal choice. I can build my critique of the church in…

You believe all the teachings of your bible? There may be parts that you raise your eyebrows to, but the overall message may be what you are there for.

To those of you saying that Kelly (and by extension all Mormon feminists) should just leave the church, please know how hurtful that is for us to hear—and we hear it from both sides: "faithful" members of the church who tell us to go somewhere else if we want to see change within the church, and from people on the…

To clarify one thing, the LDS church has fundamentalist beliefs (like its ideas about abortion and pre-marital sex) but it is not the same as FLDS, its fundamentalist offshoot.

I think after Mormonism's been around longer it will be easier to be a Mormon with progressive beliefs. I actually think they've made a little progress in my lifetime... for example, they're keeping their homophobia a lot quieter than they used to. (I think, after Romney's campaign, they figured out that…

Do you have kids? I'm just wondering — I don't, but this doesn't strike me as an inability to say no and I'm curious if you are speaking from a certain experience. Isn't part of the point of saying 'no' that you can say 'yes' to reasonable requests? And isn't part of being human and having a life that sometimes you…

UGH thank you! One of the girls in our book club INSISTED we read this last month and it was so so so bad. I like young adult lit. There are plenty of young adult books that I have read for the first time as an adult and loved. This was not one. This was like Jodi Picoult all over again. With an extra side of…

I cringed just watching the trailer! Hated the book - this whole "teenagers who talk like super witty, quirky adults" genre makes me roll my eyes soooooo hard, especially when combined with the whole overused cancer narrative.

Am I the only one NOT interested in seeing this? I read the book. I thought it was a pile of pretentious, cosmic level quoted bullshit without an OUNCE of real and honest. I cant imagine that dialogue being translated onto live action and not be laughably cheesy.

Serious question: what does "all their music is playlists" imply? Like, is it about order, because they have arranged their songs into playlists? Or is it somebody else's playlists because they're not cool enough to explore bands? Or..? This totally threw me off and made me feel like there's some piece of knowledge…

"I will never let my darling have processed foods, and we will frolic in the fresh airy meadows for six hours each day, and read classic children's stories for an hour each evening" said pregnant-me. Toddler-mom-me says, "Hot dog bread is totally a thing, here play with mama's phone while she finds the corkscrew."

Yeah, the accused is from L.A. I don't think there's any one geographic area that's got an exclusive on creeps.

The LDS church has many issues regarding women, and this is related to none of them.

I don't know...is it really that "indie" though? I mean, it's being marketed to death and pretty much all my fb friends are simply DYING to see this movie because they, like, totes lurrve the book omgee the best thing EVAH! I guess I am cynical because I thought the book was already overhyped (the dialogue was…

Okay well... teach them about menstruation if you must. But don't you DARE tell them what goes on in the girls' bathroom. If they find out about the cotton candy machines, they will whine *SO* much....

Can we talk about how cute Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez's acceptance speech was?

"Adele Dazim." Nailed it, Travolta.

Remember the first season, when Uncle Jesse's last name was Cochran?

I thought Samuel L Jackson went a bit overboard tbh. It felt like he found a get-out-of-jail-free card to be a dickhead in that moment, and he milked it.
