Just get a third cat, name it superego, and it'll keep them both in line.

I have to say I was disappointed to scroll down and see that the figures are "educational" and "inspirational". I always felt let down as a kid when toys had educational messages tacked on, I found it bossy and boring and condescending. Characters who are good all the time are bland. How about a ninja/thief who has

I think that's a safe bet.

Yep, it was essentially operator error on my part, as far as she was concerned.

Ugh, the awkward jerk = brilliant (aka Dr. House syndrome), another cultural trope that only seems to apply to white men.

I've always felt lucky that my husband and I both appreciate a comfortably messy home. I'd hate to have the cleaning fight over and over, like some couples do.

OMG I KNOW!!! How psycho is that attitude? And then to follow through and victimize an innocent young woman just to get your rage out? Sick, sick, sick.

Society has taught him that she's supposed to do all that stuff, she has to, or she's a bad mommy. He doesn't give her credit for what she does because he's learned that what she does is the bare minimum. Daddy, on the other hand, is considered a golden god just for showing up for dinner on time, and making it to

I really think my problems with my mother in law are based largely on the fact that her mother in law dominated her, and she was looking forward to doing the same to her future daughter in law. She is SO pissed off that I won't follow the rules and get in line.

Oh you didn't know my mother, she was an expert shit-giver, she gave everybody shit. The funny thing is, she considered herself an ardent feminist and raised me to be one, but then she would pull shit like this. I'm still mystified by it.

Oh I love that video SO much, I'm having a pavlovian tearing response just looking at that picture.

Women traditionally do the repetitive, crappy, gross work, while men do the fun work, often outside.

Oh I know, and the blame so often comes from older women, sad to say. It has an element of shit rolls downhill - "I had to do all that crap! Who are you to refuse?!?".

No, if that's true I'm glad to know it. I'm sorry Mr. Lion! I was misinformed.

And I can stare vacantly into space without worrying about accidental eye contact.

Oh man seriously. I'm always intrigued by how angry MRA's are made by the phrase "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle" It just drives them bananas, like nothing else. It's like any hint that they might not be the best, most important, most powerful person in the room is an egregious insult. Many custody

I definitely run into that. I'm not a good housekeeper and I don't care. There's only so much of my life I am willing to devote to cleaning. This seems so minor to me, but the judgment I get from family is HUGE and very personal - and my house is not gross, it's just dusty and messy, and I let the dishes sit

It pretty much describes daily life for women everywhere, I'd say. It reminds me of a pride of lions - the males lounge in the shade while the lionesses care for the cubs and bring in the game, but somehow, he always eats first. It makes me wonder how much sexism is straight up instinct.

I think of sunglasses as soul shields. Sunglasses and headphones get me through my days in the city.

Notice that, as always, the women are expected to do concrete tasks that will be noticed if they are not done. The men get away with lofty and elusive goals like "shaping minds", things they can easily claim credit for whether they do them or not, and no one will dare to gainsay them. It reminds me of my feeling about
