There’s also something creepy about the subtle “accidental pregnancies may make some childfree-by-choicers someone embrace motherhood” message. Sure, it’s true for some, but overall, isn’t giving women as much control over what happens to their body as possible for the best?

A thousand times this. I’m super happy an accidental pregnancy turned out ok for a reasonably well-off white woman. For most of us, an accidental pregnancy would really fuck us over; physically, financially, and mentally.

Yeah I got a goldilocks vibe at the beginning, like “This birth control isn't effective enough, this birth control is TOO effective :("

This is reading really privilege-y to me. There are some who have the privilege of accidental pregnancies being okay, or even welcomed. If that’s you, then don’t get an IUD. No one is making women get IUDs if they don’t want them.

Yeah... no. Most people are *lucky* to have a good enough friend to come over and help them with their tedious wedding projects. *No one* has a friend kind enough to take over an entire wedding, make all their place settings *and* favors *and* commission a cake... All without you having any knowledge of what they…

I think that tv show probably got more wrong about psychiatrists than serial killers. They have a credited culinary consultant but I dont think they even googled psychiatry or basic law enforcement proceedure.

I don’t think this captures the season very well. The dialogue in the video is much better than in the actual show.

Is that a pentagram on your chest or are you just happy to see your DARK LORD?

My pops is black and my mom is white, and when they got married in the early 80s in buttfuck Colorado this was quite the anomaly/scandal. They couldn't find a black groom cake topper so they just sharpied in a white dude. Nothing says “special day” like blackface on your wedding cake

I couldn’t even finish the movie. I tried, honestly, but I just couldn’t finish.

I will see your “Interview” and raise you a “Queen”
trying to jam two books into one movie , and butchering the story to the point of being unrecognizable . the only good thing to come out of this movie was the soundtrack

PS: have you every actually tasted okra? Believe me, the world would be better off without it.

When I was a high schooler, I wrote a little book, where the resolution involved the Power of Love as a way of proving the worth of the characters to a superior species. All grown up, I recognize that as a silly way to motivate the plot.... love isn't anywhere near as eternal and special as you believe when your a…

Gone Girl

I disliked Jane Eyre on a first reading, but now it's become one of my favorite novels. It's story is compelling, and it challenges and plays with so many generic conventions. It really is a marvelous piece of fiction. It's a wonderful re-imagining of both Gothic tropes and the Jane Austen 'Marriage and Money' novel.

When my husband proposed to me, he waited only an hour after popping the question to tell me he has researched the law in our state and expected the ring back if we broke up.

Is 'a romantic' the same as 'remarkably poor at judging the state of his relationships'?

This seems to imply that he doesn't act in anything else. I mean, opinions notwithstanding, Silver Linings Playbook was pretty amazing.
