No no no, you don’t understand, it’s OK if OTHER people get “othered.” Just not them. Welcome to the echo chamber!

I’m looking at it as a challenge and have completely immersed myself in it. I’ve been buying ingredients for two days and I made a Turkey Day Timeline today and put it on the refrigerator. My fiance is just glad that I’m excited about something.

My fiance and I were suuuuuuper excited when our local station started playing Christmas music.

I’ve kinda immersed myself into my grad school work, and I’m really excited about Thanksgiving. I’m staying home with my fiance (the first time we will be together for the holiday), and I’m cooking a big Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, the works. It’s way too much food for…

Well here come the waterworks again. Gulp, thank you. I am just feeling “fragile” right now and hopefully will be back to my fighter self again soon. I hope. It’s a horrible feeling.

Your post made me cry. Thank you for that though. I know I should rise up. I get that. I am just having such a hard time. I understand that a person is tested when everything goes wrong and how they overcome is what defines them. The easy times don’t make character, it’s how they act in adversity that do. I am just…

Thank you for this. I have become very domestic, shall we say. I am baking more and focusing my energy on other things. It is such a divergence from my normal personality. I guess that is good but I also feel totally out of touch, by choice, because I cannot stomach listening to or watching the news anymore. I loathe…

Thank you! Enjoy Kabul, that sounds so great!

I know this sounds really dramatic to many here, women and men who advocate fighting but I swear these last days since the election have left me defeated. I have stopped watching the news because I cannot stand to see “his” face. I have barely read nor posted on Jezebel either since it is heavy on politics. My husband…

As of late, mean spirited is what Jezebel does.

This post comes across as petty, mean-spirited, and ill-informed, IMO.

As much as I want to chuckle at International Men’s Day, after looking into it doesn’t seem as bad or as simplistic as just “lets give a men a day to celebrate themselves because women have day!” There seems to be some of that in the first calls for it (per Wikipedia), but it looks like it has (officially) become a…

I’m having a hard time today with people with privilege taking it personally when other people speak up against the thing their group has done.

I have been considering suicide this week. International Men’s Day reminded me I was not alone. Then I read this article and the comments underneath.

While I would normally agree with the sarcastic take on things...

Don’t worry, we give the shortest month to both black people AND women so they won’t edge in too much on the other 11 White History Months for you.

If you don’t know, International Men’s day was invented by MRAs who got upset that there was an International Women’s Day. It’s sort of like people asking for White History Month. Essentially it wasn’t invented to celebrate men but to “push back” against IWD.

Well and good, but where’s white history month, I’d like to know.

hmm not entirely sure what the point of this is, if you want to say international men’s day is unnecessary I don’t entirely disagree....I actually didn’t know there was such a thing until I read this.

Bend over, you little kinkster.
