In addition to everything you said, it also literally makes no sense, since we are talking about places with stalls, right? Is the sink area an inherently more vulnerable area than anywhere else (outside of transwomen being harassed for just being there)? Has that been explained?

But he also harassed people. That’s not protected speech, right?

I’d guess that Jez readers are angrier than most about injustice. I am also angrier than 50 %

Agree with the airport, but my tshirt didn't work for milking; I think it was just as confusing as the Babette since it was in the third person!

My sister collected Harry Potter books from around the world, and SHOCKER, not all of the Harrys looked like the one on the original book. And the Harry of the movies didn’t look like the one on the cover of the books. It’s so strange to me that people think that characters as defined by the secondary media…

<3 We can hang out here! I didn’t pack enough t-shirts, so I wore the “Written Pyramids’ Getting Married Shirt” to breakfast several days in a row the week after our wedding (like a mini moon? With sheva brachot (dinner parties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheva_Bra…)) and my friend (the sister of the one who made…

For my wedding (there’s this performance/inside joke part) my friend made shirts that said “Babette Ate Oatmeal” “faux poes foes” “Rory’s going to Yale” and “Written Pyramids is getting married” it was AMAZING

This HAS to be satire. Right? Right????

Dear Republicans,

I ALSO STILL HAVE RHINOKEY, but as a small action figure and I have no idea how I acquired it. Rhinokey and Bumblelion have just been in my bedroom for as long as I can remember. (Yes, they are in my grown-up apartment too).

Molly, the American Girl Doll. My mom didn’t let me get her until I was eight, and I totally looked down on my sisters who got theirs when they were younger (both had Samantha) since they obviously didn’t appreciate them as much.

This whole thing cracks me up. A sister of my close friend only had sibs as bridesmaids (again, see above, I apparently don’t know what a bridesmaid is actually supposed to do) and gave out pins that said “inner circle” to the girls that would have been bridesmaids if she had had a larger wedding party and had wanted…

Yeah, I also didn’t choose dresses for my sisters and sisters-in-law. I chose a color that I figured would be easy (navy), but I fully expect to be a bridesmaid only once more—at my sister’s wedding (one got married 4 months before me) because my friends don’t have non-family bridesmaid anymore because it’s annoying…

Yeah, I am starting to think that according to all of this I didn’t have a “bridal party” either and tat we just reshape the titles “bridesmaid” and “groomsman” for the positions we DO have

Agree. Include all!

It’s so funny to me that I JUST finished planning a wedding and all of this is completely new to me. My uncle walked my grandmother down the aisle, and was it was just listed in the program as part of the processional as [name] Grandmother of the bride escorted by [name] uncle of the bride. No other ushers, no guest…

Ah, so that explains a lot: relatives can’t be witnesses at Jewish weddings, so mainly they are in the wedding party by walking down the aisle, wearing the color, and standing behind the bride during the veiling ceremony. It sucks but there are even fewer roles for women, so if I didn’t do toasts my sisters wouldn’t…

Yup. Still wouldn’t matter. My friend is the oldest of 11; they are certainly not all that close but they all walk down the aisle at each other’s weddings, the women (and girls, since some of them are still really young) in matching dresses, the boys with matching ties etc. I feel like I’m beign really dense, it’s…

I need to get to more non-Jewish weddings! My sister and I were talking about this before my wedding, how she thought it was strange that people kept asking her if she was a bridesmaid. Except in super religious weddings, the family all walks down, and (even in really religious weddings I thing) the bride and groom…

OK, so can you explain to me what “in the wedding, but not a bridesmaid” means? Like a witness? I guess it’s more confusing to me because of patriarchy in my religion there aren’t really roles for women beyond walking down the aisle and standing in proximity of the chuppah... so some of my husband’s friends had other…
