The teachers thing kills me. There's a law that requires teachers to report shit like this. My mind is blown by that.

I don't understand how this would even have been legal? I'm probably wrong (any legal jezzies know better?), but aren't registered sex offenders usually forbidden from being with a certain distance from minors?

THREE teachers who didn't mention anything when their student told them about this horrific abuse. That to me is sickening.

This may even be why he is now retired. There was a case in my city where through a tragic set of missteps (that were actually not all the judge's fault), a child in foster care was allowed to spend a holiday with his mother, who had a history of mental illness and child abuse. The social worker was late submitting…

I grew up thinking that, as a girl, I had to be smart or pretty. They couldn't possibly exist within the same human being.

I grew up thinking that, as a girl, I could be right or I could be well-liked. I could be strong or I could be lovable. That if I wanted to date, I couldn't want a career. (And the GroupThinkers…

As the mother of two boys, I see Tangled and now this new movie as a marketing ploy by Disney to market to both boys and girls instead of being "all princesses all the time." I didn't read anything darker or anti-feminist into it, but OK. My oldest son loves lots of Disney movies but it's hard to market clothes and…

We had a new guy start working in our office and it quickly became apparent he was interested in me because he would creepily hang out at my desk and try to chit chat in Spanish, which he thought was fun because no one else in the office spoke Spanish. It wasn't. It was weird. He would ask me about my hair and if I…

That he was a heterosexual.

Also, the hole that eventually forms in EVERY SINGLE PAIR OF JEANS I'VE EVER OWNED from my thighs rubbing together. I have so many pairs of "painting pants" now...

This times infinity! I wish I hadn't wasted so much of my twenties wishing that my stomach was flatter or my thighs were thinner or my arms were more toned. Looking at pictures of myself back then, they were fine! I like looking presentable, but I no longer give too many shits if I'm "fuckable". And it turns out…

I have always had disproportionately huge thighs, no matter what my weight (I'm a smallish person, and before I quit smoking I weighed between 98-103 pounds, on average). I have never, ever had a thigh gap.

Little known problems of having a thigh gap:

Here's some food for thought, though. I'm playing devil's advocate here, because I happen to agree with Dodai.

Good, good... the public grows weary of all these little, naked pop stars and redirects its attention to the entertainer we OUGHT to be seeing everywhere:

Nope, slow-fade is not acceptable. Healthy communication means being upfront with the other person in the relationship, instead of deliberately obfuscating your intentions and then throwing a hissy-fit when they don't have superhuman mind-reading powers and figure out that you mean the exact opposite of what you said.…

This is the casualty of the shutdown that makes me the saddest — even beyond angry, just sad. For many of these children the only meal, or the only healthy meal, they receive all day is at Head Start. Many will go hungry. It's just heartbreaking.

So weird; I wore this same outfit as Rihanna today at work. Everyone's going 'OMG are doing this in honor of Rihanna's new video?" and I was all 'What? No, the church bazaar is tonight and I just didn't want to have to go change after work. ' Watching the video now I feel a little upset, because my shoes were filled…

This sounds like exactly what they wanted. They shut down the government to try to STOP PEOPLE FROM HAVING ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE. They are already actively pushing people to early deaths. They've established that as their MO, so reports of people starving or dying from cancer or dying in the wilderness seems pretty…

I love these over the top sexy-everything costumes. I was at a halloween party a couple years ago with a sexy crayon. Just wtf.

I really don't understand the engagement ring hatred on jezebel. Am I missing something?
