It’s like Tig Notaro’s joke about how her boobs were mad at her for making fun of how small they were, so one day they decided to kill her.

Yeah, she sounds like she probs has issues, but that tweet is fucking FIRE. It’s like 10 years of pro-choice rhetoric wrapped up in 140 characters.

I think its ok to be skeptical though - I mean, as Jia mentions, this is a woman who also wrote a think piece in which she diagnosed a female CEO with Aspergers.

I went to a mediation while miscarrying (and was yelled at by a senior partner for something that was not under my control). I am a bit torn about her tweet though. I think it’s good that some people are public about miscarriage — because it’s so common, but you would never know that.

She gets some for me. People want more transparency from the lives of women who lean in. They got it. It is awful and heartbreaking, but this the reality. Also, the light that she shed on abortion was brilliant given how many restrictions are placed on them even when it comes to the health of the mother. She was in a…

The Nicki thing is awesome. These people were trolling pictures of her brother’s wedding. F*ck them.

ehhh. I read it as a censure on the notion that women must do and be everything all at once. So for me it was cray badass. She is showing us the best/worst case scenario of the superhuman supermom.

I don’t know - I mean, I don’t think its right to dictate how someone emotionally deals with this kind of situation. Many people aren’t emotionally devastated when they lose an unwanted pregnancy. I know I wasn’t.

I think its along the lines of reclaiming a narrative. Miscarriages and abortions are considered taboo subjects, and there is a prescripted and expected response to them (quiet despair) that doesn’t resonate with many women who have been through them. For some people, a miscarriage is a relief. And many women can…

That is horrifyingly funny. The kind of joke that steals the breath from your throat and punches you in the solar plexus. Jesus.

Exactly. I don’t care how much you love your work. Your work doesn’t love you. If you can’t think of some things you’d rather be doing with your family and friends, you probably need therapy.

THAT TWEET IS GENUINELY HILARIOUS I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THEY ARE HATING ON IT LIKE HOW CAN YOU HATE ON THIS

Dude, I think Jezebel might have helped me actually start to like Trunk. I just read, for the first time, that blog post you linked to- and I thought the tone of the Jez article was awful. The very first comment by Erin was so shitty, as were so many subsequent ones. I think Penelope Trunk is a crazy person with…

I have minimal interest in their lives, but I 100% back their “famous for being famous” schtick. They are good for something. There is an obvious appetite among consumers for this level of voyeurism into personal lives. It used to be fed solely by stories about celebrities (actors/athletes) and socialites. Actors in…

Nicki you’re on totally different levels than these bitter girls. Understand that.

As I have said in another topic on Jez about the Kardashian’s, it makes me love them more.

What Nicki did was childish and inappropriate and wrong and yet it ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTS some small, hidden, fiendish part of my soul. Humans are fucked up, man.

I’m perfectly ok with Nikki reposting pictures of people who insult her. Why? Because if you can’t handle heat, maybe you should quit poking fire. You morons.

Turnabout is fair play, people. Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it.

Not gonna lie, I would troll right back too. It may not be right, but fuck it, you get sick of taking the high road especially when people are so brazenly (and hypocritically) insulting towards you.
