A friend of mine admits she casually drops that she is single and childless in interviews. She assumes most hiring managers are dying to know that but are forbidden from asking. I think it's a dirty tactic; she claims she's just playing the game. Plus, she's admitted she hates that mothers drop the kid excuse for…

Let me get this straight... My guess based on following you on Twitter and reading your articles here are that you are grossly offended by intolerance.

That was in an article about a girl with a type of cancer. It's been a while since I read it, but the notion of having another kid to provide marrow for their sick daughter was so horrendous that I remember that part very vividly. No matter how good they treat their son, he is going to grow up and realize the main…

There are over 100,000 kids in the foster care system in the US waiting to be adopted. I hardly feel like that's "very few children."

I agree about IVF, and I say that as a woman with pcos who may not be able to have kids. My husbands lesbian stepsister is having a baby through IVF and it makes me so angry they spent tens of thousands on a baby that won't even look like them or have their genetics when there are so many kids needing to be adopted.

Same. You are already dropping a shit ton of money for those procedures, so why not take the money and adopt a child that is already here? Trust that your genes are not that fucking special that the world would collapse if you didn't have a biological kid.

I find the IVF/surrogacy industry utterly repulsive overall.

Feel free to stop reading.

Differences in local law enforcement and good ol' racism, no doubt, come into play.

wait so a women let's her daughter play at the park while she's at work and gets arrested and taken to jail..... And this idiot is asleep while a three year old drives a car into the side of a house and gets a citation!!!???

This is seriously why I don't have kids.

I'm sorry, I know this is a serious, but a diaper-wearing baby fleeing from a Jeep? That imagine alone made me laughed so hard I almost choked on my hot cheese popcorn.

Please refer to the first sentence I wrote. Variety is important and it SHOULD exist, even in mannequins. There should, in an ideal world, be equal representation so everyone is happy and feels good about their body.

Oh please, it's not about hurting feelings, it's about equal representation. Nobody's saying there shouldn't be thin mannequins or that they should be taken away, they're saying that there needs to be more than just thin mannequins, because there are more than just thin people. Only a portion of the population or…

The answer is certainly not to remove all the thin mannequins, that's for sure. More variety, a wider range of sizes, different shapes, hell, different heights, that would be fantastic.

Huh?

I totally agree that stores should have a variety of mannequin shapes and sizes on display. the one bone I have to pick here (see what I did there?) is that it is completely unnecessary to remove all thin mannequins from stores for fear of hurting the feelings of the "non-thin". Thin girls don't want to be body…

complain complain complain. twitter's #1 use nowadays

It's like someone read Old Yeller and then said "Make this shit an Ad."

You are a cat aren't you?
