WYATT CENAC, YES PLEASE. He's so deadpan. I want him to make fun of me for being a space shot and be completely right about it. Also, I met Aziz Ansari when I lived in L.A in 2008 and he is a very well dressed man and super adorable and made jokes throughout the dinner party we were at without dominating the…
Don't forget Seth Meyers!
Yeh, but I can understand certain ones. Some comedians who I have an undying love for are not necessarily "traditionally attractive". I know a lot of people who would nay-say Louis CK, but dear lord would I DO. WOULD DO. Simon Pegg is no Brad Pitt, but I'd marry the shit out of that guy.
Yeah, I hear you about Ryan. There's that one second when I register him as attractive before recognizing him, but my ladyparts have a way to shut that whole thing down.
I feel so fortunate (especially when I read shit like this) that I found a genuinely good, caring man who is interested in being a proactive feminist but boy does he suffer from Male Cluelessness sometimes. He's definitely needed some ladysplaining on things like street harassment but at least he listens and respects…
You seem to have no difficulty with the concept that many women— who are, presumably, your target audience — DO find overt solicitation of sex offensive. That would be especially true of someone who indicated in her profile that she was interested in dating, but not casual sex, as the subject of this article did.…
Let's say you're shopping for a DVD player online. You're not exactly sure what you want, you're comparing models and prices and learning about what options are available. Suddenly, you start getting popups! Not just popups for DVD players, but discount shoes and travel services and Viagra without a prescription!…
Ugh whatever. I, a woman, have enjoyed casual sex plenty. I do not enjoy being bluntly harassed by men who will not take no for an answer.
Yeah, I think the other thing is, it doesn't go far to create much positive goodwill when a study like this comes out and then parents come charging in to complain about how it portrays them or how unfair it is and that's not their marriage, etc and so forth. Because well, that's not what the study is about. But for…
I like you, Strawberry Tart.
I think you hit the nail on the head right there: we don't view crime as a social problem in the US, really. Every crime is committed by an individual, or individuals, divorced from the larger context, in our (societal) view. So, of course we focus on punishment and totally ignore the negative ramifications for…
Totally, totally totally. Yes.
I'm always baffled when I see people talk about feminism as if it were some kind of Hive Mind. WE ARGUE ALL THE TIME!
Can't everyone just STFU about who is happier with what, and just support each other? Is that too much to ask?
Agreed. I'm a married mom of two, and on a visceral level seeing articles with this tone bothers me. However, people with this point of view are in the minority. The truth is, I've chosen a conventional path, and I'm a part of a dominant group that is generally considered the default. I can't complain.
I'm the only one of my friends with a kid, and it gets pretty damn lonely. However, I quite enjoy the moms here on Jezebel. It's a nice, bad-ass mom forum to participate in.
Sweet, another vague study and shitty headline to get women to start arguing with each other about what makes us happy.
Sorry you feel like this—I have no desire for my own kids but feel only happiness and affection for my friends that do. I kind of hate articles like this—none of us need some stupid study to tell us how we feel about having or not having children.
There's a thriving mom table in the Jezebel cafeteria. We are all awesome. Don't worry.
