I think it’s very easy to believe that this wife bonus is a thing. The author describes a community of no more than 150 women in what, at most a square mile? 150 women whose gross family income is probably 10 times what the most highly paid person that comments regularly on Jezebel makes. How do any of us have any…

Seriously, you don’t want to hear a crying child on a plane, wear some sound isolating head phones.
As for the seat kicking. That only annoys me when the parents dont even make an attempt to have their child to not do that. If the parents are trying, there is not much you can do. Children are children. (My last flight…
Wait, women are the tomatoes and men are the lettuce? So men are the bland, featureless filler that makes up most of the salad, while women are the tasty stuff that I actually want?
Temptress!
Completely asinine. You can go to work wearing fentanyl patches, taking two 10mg Percocet every 4-6 hours, and be on Xanax and no one bats an eye. Medical marijuana? Even if it isn’t affecting your work performance and has been cleared, it sucks to be you! It makes me paranoid because I have debilitating GI issues…
At the request of Lucille Booth’s favorite breakfast, here’s a reply I made downthread, to counter the WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY arguments:
Ok, I’ll go to Mecca. But I need to convert first, right? And I need a companion with a sack of balls between their legs, because that sack of balls keeps me protected. Protected from other carriers of sacks of balls. It sounds hard, I think I’d rather stay put and staple my eyes out.
This is not a sexual activity, this is a psychological activity. If this is puppy-play (and it probably is), a lot of the time it’s not seriously sexual at all. Part of the POINT of it is that it’s innocent; you’re pretending to be something totally innocent and free.
Are you stupid or illiterate?
We traded nice things for “the right to work” and cellphones that take pics and play music. That’s why.
it’s also a very flattering narrative: “ I was able to pull myself up by my own bootstraps, and it was because of my awesomeness and hard work ect etc.” Therefore those who can’t, can’t because they must be lazy or weak or have some other character flaw.
Yes, what is this world coming to when employees can refuse service to customers simply based on their own religious beliefs? I’m assuming, of course, that next he’s going to go after the pharmacists and pharmacy techs who refuse to supply customers with birth control and Plan B. Right? Riiiiight?
Paul is better on this than most Democrats, especially HRC.
What a great way of completely missing the point and making this article about a stupid girl and a stupid kid and not shedding any light on the horrific situation in which immigrants from Africa find themselves when trying to cross to Europe. This is a story about a little boy and his father desperately trying to make…
I think it’s much more likely in response to the HUGE NYTimes expose on nail salons and labor practices that happened yesterday and today. It’s totally relevant to what people are talking about right now, and I for one found the story really interesting and was glad Pictorial published it. In fact, a good friend…
I mean, I agree with the general thesis but I will also say that since so much of our popular culture is geared towards that age range, when things become popular among young people, they tend to have an impact on the wider culture. So since so much of the music and pop culture business was focused on appealing to…
Note, however, that any environmental savings dishwashers have from the water is offset by the environmental damage done by the electricity and the pollution necessary to create some of the components.
...of the 234 women recently rescued by the Nigerian army after being abducted by Boko Haram last year, a staggering number of them—214—are pregnant.
What we’ll never hear about on the news though is the REAL problem in America: camera-on-camera crime.
