My daughter’s mantra is “I know”. When a teenager starts in on how I don’t know shit I explain I knew lots of things - then I had kids and lost all my brain cells.

I feel sort of bummy if I go out and don't wear makeup. Not that I look ugly, just that my face doesn't match my clothes/hair/wherever it is I'm going. That being said, I pretty much always do my make up the same. The only difference is that I might do slightly more eye shadow than usual or a cat eye if I'm trying to…

I wear makeup every day (not schlubby at home days, obvs) and I did not previously believe myself to be unusual in that, and yet somehow this whole series has been populated by women who wear almost no makeup on the regular. I feel like I must be a unicorn. But since I had no idea that I was alone in makeup wearing,…

Is that the new fad diet? Getting all your exercise by keeping your clothing in your living room so you have to walk the extra feet, followed by some morning kitchen-adjacent ironing.

My toddler, younger than this boy, can tie a knot, lock a door, twist a chapstick, and use a remote control. I do not believe there is a way to keep a gun in a house safe from a child without it literally being in a safe, and even then the risk outweighs any possible benefit.

My favorite sort of feature on Jezebel - odd tales of women throughout history. Always followed by what such a story implies about a woman's role in society. This one was particularly engaging. Bravo, Lyz of the cool name with the very cool spelling.

More rape apologists...and with a dash of victim shaming to boot.

"I don't want to believe her because I hope she wasn't raped" is a bullshit bitch-slap to victims disguised as sympathy. Fuck off with that nonsense.

There's dumb trolling, and then there's dumb rape apologist trolling.

Hello there, I´m from Argentina, my mother, one of my aunts and a cousin had parcticipated in several pageants and won prizes, so most of the things I know are from their stories.
Usually even the smallest town has such contests, they´re held for traditional festivities, my cousin for example was crowned as one of the…

Okay correct if I'm wrong but the Miss America pageant is the largest is the US largest scholarship program for woman or am I thinking of another pageant? If it is the case, why was that Bikini part still part of it anyway, what does that have to do with getting into college/university (are they the same in the US or…

Tweaking is for meth addicts...ditch that shit! No amount of "no swimsuits and it's all about rewarding a talented, accomplished, well-spoken woman who just so happens to be mind-bogglingly beautiful" is going to make it better until you take beauty out of it entirely. The reward for being beautiful and looking your…

You just dropped your pen? Eurgh, you have no idea. I take my own pen to work, and someone stole it. That's right. I had to use a spare pen, that did not have all four colours that my own pen did. It did not have a special grippy holder bit. And when I had to count & check the drugs, I had no red pen with which to do…

I totally understand how Madonna feels. I dropped my pen today and was a little sore from yesterday's workout. Picking it up involved an ordeal the likes of which nobody can truly understand (especially not men, who are scientifically proven to be shitty at empathy). I now understand what it's like to be the victim of…

Except she happens to be right. Ariana Grande performs like a stupid pre-teen whore.

No. There are many, many ways to become undocumented in the United States. Even for those who cross the border, it is neither "easy" nor "free." First of all, the majority of current undocumented migrants did not enter without status. When visa holders overstay visas are then, from an administrative perspective, are…
