Wow, this is oddly close-to-home. My grandfather was a jazz guitarist and had some very valuable guitars. It was all he left of value to my grandmother, so we’re buying them from her to keep them in the family. My partner plays so I’m getting the best one, but my dad said that if we get married he wants me to get a…

As Devonna said, some of us are projecting, but only because it feels so familiar to us. He’s using a Nparent playbook for this wedding and many of us have been through it. As for the heart attack... show me the receipts. I’ll still believe it was a stunt, but at this point, I don’t believe a word from him or anyone…

The ultimate narcissistic supply. And not just a country, but a royal family. The ultra-elite and powerful wanting him. I really hope she goes full no contact after this. It’s possible that the royal family is the one that insisted she invite him because of the optics of it, and she has no intention of being in…

If you keep your name you’ll save like $500 in new ID’s, about 20 hours of headache, and no one will ever mistakenly call you by an old name. I will NEVER change my name again, because it is a GIANT pain in the ass. Fuck the feminist reasons. I mean they are valid, but it’s honestly just a giant headache and I’d…

He’s a right-wing troll ready to show his buddies on some subreddit how the ‘libruls’ are crazy because they agreed with this nonsense. Jokes on him.

No, she is a psychopath. Full stop. Her race or nationality have nothing to do with that. To say that it does is to do a disservice to the millions and millions of law-abiding immigrants in this country trying hard to make a good life.

Bingo. It’s gotta be all about him, right? At least as long as he can make it all about him.

It’s not flashy, but a lifetime of put-downs, chronic neglect where it matters, and boundary crossings is just as damaging as the occasional punch, if not more so. It’s a constant mental wearing down that is impossible not to buy into. It caused me to seek out men who did the same, because I viewed the constant…

Criticism is NOT caring when talking about clothing or hair choices - mundane choices that don’t harm anyone. Not even for good mothers. I’m shocked that a therapist would make a statement like that. If your mother deflects and denies when you call her out on her bullshit that is called gaslighting, and it’s a very…

Not-So-Fun fact: beagles are used for testing because of their sweet disposition. They tend to continue to be well-behaved, loving animals even when abused and to allow a human to inflict pain on them again and again, without turning on the human.

We probably don’t disagree too much, if at all, on the idea that we work too much, as a culture. However, I personally live for my work, it’s a huge source of enjoyment for me and that’s my choice. I’m a damn lucky bitch to enjoy my job so much. Why should I have to choose between giving up a huge source of enjoyment…

Look, not every job would this be OK, but there’s no reason for some, especially women who have closed door offices, and frankly, there’s no reason she shouldn’t be able to, since she’s only there for a short period and she can leave once the vote is done. I’ll be able to because my job has a strong social component…

BINGO. If your husband had a tumor removed, no one would give him shit, no one would talk about how his career has been interrupted, no one would give him a side eye. Employers would make a plan, adjust, and then welcome him back with a goddamn party.

And yet no man is presumed to have their career interrupted because they have a child. Why is that? This is bullshit. Sexist bullshit.

Honestly, I categorically reject the idea that a single person who takes an eight week medical break is somehow contributing so much less to any company that it interrupts business. A good employer with the employee will plan for this, so that the track of its employee continues uninterrupted  If the company is unable…

My husband will be taking the same amount of parental leave as me. Dollars to donuts, he won’t be penalized the way I normally would be. Why is a two month break considered a crazy idea? It’s eight fucking weeks.

Men do. Why can’t I? My husband will be taking the same amount of parental leave as me.

This comment thread is depressing as fuck.

Because she can’t take maternity leave. This was pretty clear in the article.

I’m so sick of the automatic response of all American (liberal, conservative, libertarian, or Satanist) to be that because other women/people/whatever have it harder then this woman/person/whatever then they should just deal. The article is pretty clear why this is unacceptable.
