Not exactly the same, but similar to Elena and Lila, I had a female friendship (from the ages of 12-18) that was big and tumultuous, bordering on toxic and fully informed my development as a person. We had high highs and dark lows; she would go after the boys who I was interested in and we were endlessly jealous of…

While I agree with a lot of what you wrote, I really have to take issue with your last paragraph. If you work with Alzheimer’s and dementia patients, you know that they have degenerative brain diseases and a comparison to mental health issues is not useful or relevant. Just because a person becomes violent, sexually…

Can we please ignore these idiots? They were even reported on in Canadian news and all they are is a distraction looking to suck attention away from today’s demonstration of feminist solidarity and reinforce the agenda that seeks to legislate control over women’s bodies.

Yes! Thank you! I was trying to remember what this movie was called throughout this whole article. Definitely a childhood favourite :)

Slaves, so hot right now.

Not even... drop out hahaha. All of my pals who went to UofO hate it too.

Thank you, Ottawa University Student Federation, for giving me another reason to love to hate Ottawa U.

Fellow Canadian here, I don’t know about the legality of it, but every retail job I had made me sign a contract that would allow for my termination if I discussed wages with co-workers.

I watched the closing ceremonies live and the mic toss and skipping off stage didn’t read like a tantrum at all. But I guess everyone loves a villain.

An almost identical situation happened at my high school. He left his second wife (who he met when he was HER teacher) for a student he had clearly been, at the very least, grooming throughout high school when she turned 18. Not only is he back teaching at the same high school, he received an award from the mayor for…

Completely anecdotal, but I've been on and off the birth control pill multiple times and know that around month 3 of being on the pill I start to experience digestive issues that resemble IBS. I mean, it ends up really helping me not get pregnant because I don't want to bring the guy I'm making out with home with me…

I've always fantasized about sending my uterus on a nice beach vacation where it can sip on mojitos and get a nice tan until I decide that I desire its services. In the mean time, no periods or pregnancy scares for me!

Mark Shrayber, not only is he the Hunter S. Thompson of Jezebel, he's the only writer on the internet who can produce posts this long about things I genuinely don't give a shit about, multiple times, and get me to read through until the end.

It's more complicated with children because it depends on who lives in town and what the relationship with the parent was like. Plus, some families have only daughters or only sons. Generally speaking, you're more likely to see daughters who participate in care, but I haven't noticed anything about birth order. The…

Working in healthcare, I'm always shocked when I witness a husband/male partner putting in the same amount of caregiving that the average wife/female partner does. It's not unusual for a wife to have a little notebook with notes from all doctor's visits/consults/hospitalizations and a print-outs of all prescriptions…

I'm on 10mg (with traditional dosing I would have been on at least 80mg) a day and my skin is on somewhat dry and my knees were crunchy for the first two months, but otherwise no side effects. I have had acne on my face and back for the last 12 years and it's the first thing to really work. I don't know what will…

I'm on my last month of a low dose accutane treatment and it's completely changed my skin. I don't spend endless amounts of time picking at my skin and covering up pimples with make up. Not to mention, I'm no longer greasy as hell. It's the first thing to ever really work for me. So if it's ever brought up as an…

There may have been an incident of someone tattooing their own name on their thigh... soooo it's upsidedown from everyone else's perpective, and poorly done.

I lived in a party house with a bunch of dudes who decided to buy a tattoo gun off of Amazon one night. The gun would be busted out regularly at 3am and I witnessed some pretty terrible tattoos, but no one was enough of an asshole to think a dick tattoo or a slur would be a good idea.

All the cooler-than-me alternative girls I know did this, like, 2 years ago. U R BEHIND THE CURVE, SEATTLE.
