He strikes me as the kind of guy who would have the E’s backwards unintentionally.

Has he tried holding a bake sale yet?

He’s really going after that Pity Vote demographic. This poor schmuck needs to be taken for a car ride to the country and let out in a nice field so he can run around as the car heads home without him.

bless his heart

Paul Ryan’s entire life is an example of “for me, but not thee.”

like i know he has to maintain a residence in wisconsin in order to be eligible to run for congress

I’m sorry, should they be expected to mix with the plebes?

can your children not sit on a goddamn airplane to DC like what

like i won’t fault a parent for wanting be home with their family every weekend

It’s interesting how unwilling people on Jezebel are to take things at face value in some situations, and how willing they are in others.

Thank you - I was wondering if I was crazy and just completely missing part of my childhood - “stop acting ugly” was applied equally to girls and boys, with the implication that shitty behavior made you unpleasant to be around. I even remember explicit statements that “ugly” behavior would always trump physical…

I use it on both sexes in my classroom in the context of “stop being ugly in my classroom.” I say that instead of screaming “stop saying mean shit in my classroom just for the sake of being mean you little asshole.” No lie, that’s what I feel like saying sometimes. 8th graders and freshmen just go out of their way to…

I don’t see a need to make it gendered, but if you’re a crafty person who enjoys that kind of thing, what’s the harm in making it cute?

My husband calls me “spicy” when I show any attitude, and it makes me want to light fire in his ass and ask him how spicy that is.

NO! I am going to cross-stitch that, frame it, and hang it in the corner. I am my own damn Etsy.

So, I was at a conference last month where Chelsea Clinton was a keynote speaker and was interviewed on stage. In the interview, she said that one of the best things her parents did for her growing up was to encourage her to express her point of view - but they always asked her to back up what she said with evidence.…

This brings up another trend that I hate. Men are referred to as men, but women are referred to as ladies. (At least we are starting to get away from being called girls). Fuck that. There is a gendered behavior expectation in “ladies” while men simply get to be. It implies that we will are proper and demure, and it…

At my house, we had to STAND in the corner. These kids today. Even while being punished it’s all about entitlement and an Etsyfied existence.

I think what annoys me more is the materialism behind the idea of purchasing an extra little chair just for time-outs. Man, people have too much disposable income/space to store shit.

I’m struggling a bit now with how to get Lil CatChick to be courteous and respectful (her 10 yr old attitude is ON POINT) without at all squelching her ability to stand up for herself, speak her mind, or argue her case. I had none of these skills growing up and I still suffer from it in my 40s. In fact, I’d rather her…
