This SERIOUSLY needs to come out of the greys. I came here to comment and couldn't find the right words, so thank you for expressing exactly what I was feeling. This is an insanely triggering article for an unhealthy practice*.

Okay, this might be unpopular, and I understand if you ignore it. But I really dislike this post. Like, a lot.

I got married a year ago, and at the time I found there to be quite a bit of anti-wedding bias on the Jezebel editorial staff; a good deal of the wedding-related posts were mocking traditions or, worse,…

I remember friends asking me if I was going on a diet after I got engaged. I said "nope" and I deliberately chose a nice, structured dress in which I felt comfortable eating. Do not regret.

I really think it all depends on how well your baby can hold their liquor.

"I save bread!"

I have had the same experience. We have been married not quite two years now, and I keep wondering when we are going to get to this fables "hard" part. Perhaps it was because we were a little older when we got married? (31 & 35) Is it because he has been married before, even if it was for less than a year? Maybe it…

"'How could I have married someone who's so bad with money?' 'Why did I marry someone who I can't rely on to attend family functions with me?' 'What possessed me to marry someone who is a habitual nose-picker?!?'"

women hating women for their personal choices. nothing is more anti-feminist than that.

Shit.

Also worth considering: divorce is expensive. There are probably quite a few people who have small rings and small weddings that simply can't afford, financially, to live separately and/or to pay for a divorce process.

Maybe they find that over time, whatever was causing unhappiness in their marriage passes, or…

As an attorney who deals with random people at least through third parties, I'm going to try to translate stupid. When she says she "didn't understand" the plea deal, she means she didn't like it and didn't understand WHY she had to do it. She was whining to her lawyer about why she shouldn't have to do or pay…

are you for real? not caring is completely understandable. having gone through life literally not knowing there was more than one way to cook an egg is BAFFLING. the thing that is baffling is HE DIDN'T KNOW OTHER WAYS EXISTED, not that he didn't know how to do it himself.

not caring how they're done and not knowing multiple ways TO COOK EGGS are completely different.

PREACH. So many of my friends seem to make their mothering decisions based entirely on a mix of guilt and fear and not based on what they want/think is best for the kid. I have not had that problem so far, which leads to awkward conversations like:

if men "can't control themselves" then shouldn't they be put on a leash?

We've always used the proper terms with our kiddo (I'm a biologist, I'm not going to call it a wee-wee or a hoo-haa or whatever). She was then told by other kids she was saying "bad words." Her teacher started to tell her not to say those and she proudly said "My mommy says those are the right words and not to use…

I had a really problematic pregnancy. When I delivered, I tore. Forward. This is apparently kind of rare, but I split up the middle toward my clitoris. I cannot explain how painful that was.

My best friend is a 5'3" tiny woman, and she runs all the time. Once she was alone and a dude on his bike smacked her ass. So she shoved him off his bike and yelled, "THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR NOT WEARING A HELMET, ASSHOLE!!!" and then ran off.

I mean exactly what I said. You asked what can white people do right, and I suggested that they could make urban policies that prevent the problems associated with gentrification. The main problem is that they are pushing low-income people out of their homes. Urban policies that could help prevent that include…

This woman has been photoshopped. I can tell.
