If I recall, Jimmy Kimmel said "we're pregnant" before Mila went on her rant.

There is a distinct difference between being invested in your partner's pregnancy and trying to co-opt it. Saying "we're pregnant" is in the latter category.

Agreed.

Fuck yes. Goddamn. Just...everything in this article. Yes.

OkCupid does have a reporting system for photos (nudes are against the rules), fake profiles, etc, which is moderated by actual human beings.

And it's bullshit, anyway, because women don't even have to be on a dating site to get unsolicited dick pics. They just have to be female and online.

Exactly! Too often, the default setting, where women are concerned, is thought to be set at "yes" until/unless she says "no". But that's not the truth of it. Default is "no" until consent is given.

Unsolicited dick pics are the internet equivalent of a public flasher. It's a dick we didn't ask for and ABSOLUTELY didn't want, but were shown simply because the guy feels entitled to do so, based on our gender. So, if you consider women who have been flashed in the park/bus/subway/etc to be victims, then, yes,…

Right! This is what I was going to say. There's a way to let a caller know you're having trouble understanding her without coming across as unsympathetic.

I guess my main question is, HOW do I get in on this racket? This unemployed-for-three-years train I'm riding right now is getting pretty old.

I really like what I see of it!

That was my thought, too. That sort of thing happens a lot in households where parents work long hours and/or multiple jobs.

She may very well have been *sending* them to school. With some kids, though, that doesn't guarantee they actually *go*.

Right? I was thinking that, too.

That's what I was wondering, too. I mean, I can't afford to spend $100+ on jeans, but it would be nice to know they're out there for women my size who *can*.

I don't mind shapers if they come up high enough and don't roll or cut in, and stay put. I've never tried Spanx specifically, though.

Me, neither. Maybe even twenty.

Thanks! And I agree that planning (and, therefore, preparing) for kids makes a BIG difference in whether you're happy once they arrive. I think a lot of people also underestimate how much more work just having a second child is, and that has a lot to do with what you said about not being communicative about who's…

I also wear a ten, and it seems like most stores only stock one or two in that size and only replenish if it's a staple item. Having worked in a couple shoe stores, I suspect many of them are going by old statistics when ordering, rather than paying attention to what the current size averages are and adjusting their…

I was going to ask a similar question. I've been working on a historical romance and am a bit daunted by the general dismissive attitude toward books (and writers) that are mostly read by women.
