Exactly! She took a risk and did something fun. I read this and think, "How would I feel if someone said something like that about an outfit I took a chance on?" I don't think the fact that she's rich (I have no idea if she's rich), famous (I assume she's famous, though I've never heard of her), or conventionally

And thanks to you for the ad hominem attack, not to mention making assumptions about my gender based on my name!

Thank you for putting so eloquently the vague thoughts that have been simmering in my brain for days now. It really does feel like their are trying to have it both ways. I understand the need to grab eyeballs with celebrity articles (although as someone who has lived in Japan for years and doesn't even have his TV

Thanks for the coherent response. I totally understood that. I'm still not convinced that this is the kind of thing Jezebel should be spending time on, since so many other (really skanky) sites do this 24-7, but what you say makes sense.

So snarking on someone's choices about what to wear or how to style themselves here on Jezebel is not shallow, petty, mean-spirited, pretty much the antithesis of what I understand feminism to be, and exactly what countless other sites do...?

I think she looks fantastic. Is Jezebel really about dissing other women's appearance? Sorry, I thought the site had a somewhat different focus.

I used to think like you about twenty five years ago, but at least I had the sense to not spout off about things I don't know or understand. The whole "all-gender-is-invented-by-society," "blank-slate" approach to feminism is attractive if you're young and idealistic and don't understand how complexly and profoundly

Precisely. It's a photo of two people in love. I was infuriated by everything George W. did as President, but I could appreciate his wry humor when his official White House portrait was dedicated, and the fact that he has a lovely life partner. I am not happy about the spying thing, nor the drone thing, nor a lot of

Did you folks get a load of the shop owner's non-apology in the video? She insists her sales person did the right thing, and chalks it up to "miscommunication." Where's the miscommunication that arises from "I want to see that bag" and "No, you may not see that bag"?

Oh my gorsh! Stork cover blown ahead of schedule! LOL I explained the basics to my own son when he was maybe six or seven, because he asked. He was too young to even think, "Oh, gross!" and my explanation was so scientific-y (yet also warm and fuzzy) that his eyes glazed over. But he never forgot and there was never

And thank you for the serious response. I've never lived in the South, so I can only speculate about the phenomenon you describe, but I wonder if those women giving you the "evil eye" haven't become like that because they get a lot of dirty looks or worse for breastfeeding in public. I suppose it's a different

Now that sounds like a plan. Both the thing about two weeks in Europe with a baby and coursework to be done, and the thing about hiding the truth about reproduction from their child for as long as possible.

It sounds to me as if you are shadow boxing with fictional characters. Where are all these militants who "really put it out there all the time and everywhere"? Because I lived in Manhattan for five years and never saw anything like that. I saw some obnoxious parents(Oi vey!), but I never saw what you seem to be

So you're comparing feeding a baby to adults having sex. How charming. That says a lot about how you see the world.

Wow, everyone is jumping on the original poster, but look at gem buried in the comments. What on god's green earth do teenaged boys have to do with the price of tea in China? I raised a boy (now 21), and when he was very small and we saw some random woman feeding her baby in public and he said something about it, I

What you said.

That is hilarious. And SO much more attention-grabbing than just doing it the way the woman in the video does. And hubby peeking in now and again makes it downright lurid. Your SiL should have her own reality show.

Not to belabor the point, but what do you mean by "modesty" in this context? You keep using the word modesty, I honestly have no idea how that word applies here. Where are all these people who are going to be so offended by the feeding of a baby in the standard homo sapiens manner?

So awesome. There's the whole "modesty" argument out the window.
