Why is this happening in California rather than in New York? Whatever. Just bring out some new episodes.

Susie is the reason to watch the 2nd season. Agree that Midge and her parents’ stories were not that compelling.

Oh man, I love this show and I loved the 2nd season. While I do agree with you that Midge is a complete pain in the ass, I can’t agree with your stance on the program.

Have ya heard about this Mrs. Maisel promo in LA? They say it’s a gas. But seriously, folks, if things in Santa Monica were this bad all the time, I’d swim out past the breakers and watch the world die. Well, mainly watch Joel die, am I right? Cheating bastard. I’d feed him to the sharks, but even the sharks have…

That’s a serious whoops, commute was most certainly hindered today by this but I figured it was school letting out. Love the show btw!

Considering that marriage was pretty much inescapable at the time once you got into it, I think Amy was also pretty smart for going with the devil she knew over the one she didn’t. Laurie might not be the brightest bulb, but he does genuinely love her family, seems willing to accept her criticisms of his character and…

Yes. Thank you! I am neither #teamBhaer nor #teamLaurie for Jo, but I always think it is a tragedy when she lets Bhaer convince her that she should give up writing stories her way, and instead write them his way. It sucks.

I always found her to be a lot less hypocritical than her sisters, because let’s be honest, the ONLY reason they are able to act the way they do and not be total pariahs is that they are from a respectable (if now impoverished) family. If they were more firmly lower class, Jo running around with the boys wouldn’t be…

This is AWESOME.

Seriously. The Marches/Alcotts were a lot of very good things (abolitionists!), but they also come across as just horribly self-righteous and self-important. You can hardly blame Amy for wanting to get away from her buzz-kill relatives every now and then.

Thank you for writing this. I love Little Women as a book but I needed this today mostly because my boyfriend tried me the other night by insisting that makeup artists, hairdressers, and interior designers have no use in the world and are vapid and “contribute to patriarchy” (interior design oppresses women???).…

I, too, have grown to appreciate Amy more and more as I get older. We are meant to feel bad for Jo when Amy gets to go to Paris- but honestly Jo had always been kind of nasty to her Aunt and just assumed that she would get to go to Europe anyway, despite her attitude. Amy is the only one with the good sense to keep on…

Team Amy all the way! I loved this piece. All Amy wanted was a few nice dresses, some pickled limes, and a different nose than the one she was born with. I have such a soft spot for Little Women, but the older I get the more I get annoyed with Alcott’s dismissal of Amy. Amy had a talent for friendship, something Jo…

I feel like I understand LW a lot better now, having learned a bit about Alcott. All of her disdain of feminine things, all of her euphoria over having some free time to write... I think a lot of it makes sense when you figure in the abject poverty her family lived in, how her father’s Thoreau-like philosophy landed…

“As I did this, I heard a strange sound, much like burbling. I looked up. He was urinating in an arc into his own mouth and gargling on it.”

Yeah- this is pretty disgusting and why I stay away from all parenting crap on the internet. I’m the mom of three mostly grown boys and they each are pretty damn far from this. I guess if you’re the type of person to tag your social media posts with #boymom, then you’re going to be the kind of parent who works real…

I’m a mom of a six month old boy, but I’m not a #boymom. Not only do I not have time to read mommy blogs or get into mom culture, but it seems very limiting for mothers to build their outward identity around motherhood. I mean, yeah, I spend like 80% of my time when not working or sleeping with my baby, but at least I…

Yikes.

I’m the mom of two young boys and I actively dislike the whole #boymom culture. My boys are not defined by their gender and I am not defined by their gender either. Yes, there are a lot of fart jokes and muddy feet, but there is also long hair and painted fingernails. Trucks riding in doll strollers. Plush dinosaurs…

I just railed against this “Boy Mom” tag yesterday, I have an 8 month son my goal should be the same as any other parent, raise your kid to as best you can to not be an asshole. This should be the goal of any parent regardless of gender. (I know this sentiment is a little different than what the article discusses on…
