It’s not their place to ‘discipline’ the mother. She’s an adult and is free to irritate school administrators.

The commonality of denying girls an education over clothing doesn’t make it any less wrong.

I had a job that involved mandatory 9-5 hours plus 2-3 evening meetings (usually an hour from home) and Saturday work. I burned out, I burned out to the point I had to smoke weed to fall asleep because I was so stressed about the next day. I ate microwave meals and fast food 75% of my evenings and I got unhealthy. Now…

That is one of the most rigidly specific enforcements of extreme conformity you could probably beat a child over the head with while denying her her rightful education without being tried for war crimes. What the fuck even.

I totally agree. Part of me thinks this is why Bernie Sanders is popular. He favors how the Europeans run things, and believes the US should mirror certain policies that have served European citizens well. Since the financial crisis, I feel employers have gone overboard in squeezing production out of employees to…

Actually, we need to separate “work-life balance” from parenthood, or motherhood, so that it applies to everyone. Nobody should be working 60 hours every week, regardless of parental status. We need to make it clear that parents aren’t asking for special treatment when they want to leave the office at 5. Everyone…

Just a suggestion: it would be interesting if Jezebel did a piece on multi-level marketing, which as far as I can see exploits women’s desire to be both successful entrepeneurs and sexy stay-at-home moms. Personally, I think women are being victimized by the idea that a successful woman must 1) run her own company, 2)…

We’re also removed from the multi-generational living that used to exist in our culture. Living near retired parents who can help out is just not the norm anymore. Being isolated from reliable family makes it that much harder to have a work/life balance. I had to start my own business to be able to do it, and…

With you right up to

Ha, I never read that. I have so much ew when they have scenes in bed together mainly because that is such a messed-up relationship. Then again, I’m not sure any healthy relationships exist on this show.

I loved Olivia’s “Dude, you owe her/this is the least you could do”

Evil queens never have happy endings!

It’s SHITTY that he’s suggesting that her ONLY work has been to smile and wave. They should have quit the marriage a while ago (before the baby), but his speech just now made me think even less of him as a person.

Why does Olivia have to keep explaining to Fitz what his responsibilities are as a husband and President of the United States?

I’m not a fan of her shows (I don’t like the dialogue and all the characters speak in the same way) BUT I really love the fact that she casts not only a diverse group of characters in terms of race, but also a diverse group of women in terms of age, body type, life experience, etc. Christina Yang is probably one of…

I’ve been saying it for years. If republicans actually bothered to pay attention to what he said, they’d realize they hate Jesus. He IS a communist who hates people who make money off of their faith. He also says prayer and faith should be a very private thing and that no one else should know about your faith. All he…

For such a “devout”Christian family, they sure have a gluttonous desire for fame.

He f’d his presidential campaign up running with Palin. She terrified the in-betweeners. I always swayed left but I don’t hate McCain and he is certainly not the worst candidate the Republicans have put forth over the past 30 years. While I don’t always agree with him, I don’t think he would have been a horrible…

A Muslim president would no more turn government control to sharia law than Catholic JFK turned it over to the pope—as many feared. Grow up, people. Besides, with the lack of autonomy to women, the Rs are the ones pushing for sharia-style.

God, so true. It kills me though to see all the anti-PP memes swirling, I feel like if rational people disseminate infographics like this it may help stem the tide. These are low-information groups, giving them some facts can’t hurt.
