As a divorcee who never really wanted to get married in the first place, I happily clicked on the article title looking for an ally in my life goal of separate households within walking distance of the person I love but who has no claim to my tax return. I read his first point, rolled my eyes and shut down that…

Even as a kid I thought boys should get the dad's last name and girls should get the mom's so there would be both a patriarchy and a matriarchy. It made no sense to eight year old me why that wasn't a thing.

I have been incredibly lucky and have, for the most part, had very kickass women as bosses. My first ever male boss was gay (not that sexual orientation erases sexism, but there’s a bit more of an underdog understanding there). My biggest complaint about sexism in the workplace was when my husband (now ex) had a much…

I legit did this at the age of 9. My mom took me to the eye doctor because I was complaining about my eyes hurting. What she didn't know (and the doctor asked in a way that got a correct answer) is that I was reading one Nancy Drew book every night. Sadly, I didn't need glasses. I also remember being fascinated by…

Creepy! I just opened my e-mail thinking "Wait...do I hate April Fool's so much I just blocked that e-mail from my memory?" At first it wasn't there, then it magically appeared. Scary! I think the real April Fool's is that Gmail can now read my thoughts and send me appropriate content.

Doesn't this law not go into effect until July 1st? So between now and then wedding pizza for all?

I always tell people who have never seen me in person that "I have the type of looks that it takes movement to appreciate." I'm more 3D pretty than 2D pretty, if that makes sense. And I don't mean that in an "I'm not photogenic" or "I have a great personality so I don't need looks" way. Just that I'm pretty in a…

My mom insists that I was planned, my dad insists I wasn’t...and I believe both of them. The way my mom tells it, I get the idea she had some very naive fairy tale ideas about motherhood: “I just wanted to experience unconditional love.” She also waxes poetical about how she wanted a “cute little Mexican girl” so I…

When I was in high school my mom got pregnant twice and it left me more "Oh god, no! I'm NEVER doing that!!!" than "Wow, cool. I want to be pregnant too!"

My guess is that it won't fit, but I've had a lifetime of disappointment with bathing suit tops to the point that if it isn't cup-sized, I know it won't fit. I don't want to dash your hopes and dreams because it's cute and unlike seemingly all Modcloth bathing suits, it doesn't tie around the neck. But why can't all…

We must be the same person.

The art of knowing how much or how little to give a shit so you don't get too disappointed if it all goes south.

A VISIBLE UNDERSHIRT, PEOPLE. Do you really want a president who's never heard of v-necks?

I have this problem with myself. I keep slightly-used tissues with the idea that they haven't fulfilled their maximum use. But really I am done with them and they pile up. So I have to repeat the mantra "A kleenex is a single-use item" lest I become overrun with gently used tissues.

I kept wondering who Tara was and what she did to upset the leader of the free world.

My independent study of Mirena says yes. I lost my health insurance shortly before mine needed to be replaced. I didn't start bleeding again until right around the 7 year mark, and while sexually active the whole time, I also didn't get pregnant. I got it replaced 2.5 years after it technically should have been and…

Hmmm...I always thought the official date the Republican Party went off the rails was 1980.

I need those slippers! I need them even more if they are real shoes and not slippers!

"the gang members just handed the infant to Remigio and sped off without her" I'm assuming the parents found the baby in the yard with their roommate before she ran off to visit the fiance.

I don't know about any of these babies, but "boyfriend" clothing in my book has always meant "shirts that will be too tight over your boobs and make you look lumpy" and "pants that won't make it past the thighs." These babies must be dating toddlers or something.
