UGH i have a (female) friend that does this. she has more recently recognized that it’s gross but still continues to use it occasionally. blarg.

Guys complaining about this always rubbed me the wrong way. Awhile back, I had my daughters at the park during their stay with me for Christmas break (divorced dad here). While pushing my youngest on the swings, another dad next to me decided he wants to chat and opens up with the “So you are on the hook for…

Nothing clamps my vag shut faster then men who use “females” for women. Female is for the doctors office and the bio lab.

What amuses me is that men have so much more freedom than women to just “check out.” Sure, their kids will be distant, but society at large is generally just like, meh. Whatever.

my typical response is: female what, exactly?

That guy is dumb.

That’s not a roommate, that’s a cat. Actually, you are better off evicting him and getting a cat.

Yeah, “childcare is on me.” Uh, no, it’s PARENTING. Does your wife call it childcare when she does it? I’m guessing not!

“My wife is looking out for her own interests for once! I kind of supportthat, I guess! Cookie now, please!”

It reminds me of a guy I knew for most of my childhood. His dad was rarely around, even when he was home. One of those “spend time with my kids only when I want to and on my terms” types. By the time we were in college his folks divorced and it came out that he hated his dad for acting more like an adult roommate than…

But yeah, I don’t like it. It’s minimizing.

It’s so frustrating whenever these clueless dads think they deserve a medal for acting like, you know, a parent.

I do too! For me it’s because my dad, who is a raging and proud misogynist, calls all women gals. 87 year old woman? Gal. 16 year old child in short shorts he’s ogling? Pretty ‘lil gal. Accomplished grown ass women? Mouthy gal.

What a bummer for that dude who has to watch his kids. This is on par with parents who say they are “babysitting”.

i actually think its kind of brilliant. I mean, the title...i won’t buy the book or anything but she created this selfie obsession-how many people can say that they have made such an indelible mark in pop culture?

and at the same time, the genuinely do care about each other (the sisters do) but also let shit get between them- which happens in a shitton of families. the stuff that gets between this family is like...rights to likenesses for multi million dollar games.

like she does what she wants, and she hears everything said about her, and then does that exact thing in such a way that she is completely owning it. i love it. u do u kiki.

Agreed. Look at all these folks freaking out about just reading this article & blaming it on the kardashians.

...it kinda is though. Sorry, Felicia.
