Sure do love all the perfect parents in this comment section who have never, ever fucked up, not even once. Not even when they are tired, or stressed, or sick, or overworked or running on fumes.

Congrats to all of the perfect parents in the comments.  Every parent who has had this happen didn’t think they needed a reminder, either.

To Everyone who thinks this can never happen to them:

Never forget that Andrew Sullivan is literally a white supremacist; he has pushed the incredibly maligned Bell Curve theories of Charles Murray for decades, and has written numerous columns claiming that rigorous science requires people to question whether or not black people are genetically predisposed to having…

Never had this problem, and my kids are finally of an age where we talk for most of the trips we take so I might be past this worry... but I absolutely do not have the arrogance to say that ‘I’d NEVER forget they are there!’. You don’t know for sure. You CAN’T know for sure.

Misogyny as empowerment. There’s such an overarching tone of woman-hating from most these sites. If an actress posts pre-retouch pictures of herself that’s one thing, but these sites read “no look, she really is ugly! she really is fat! she didn’t grow those boobs!” That shouldn’t make you feel better about yourself,…

The policies are the same. Pence knows how to behave in public.

“Is this supposed to be objective journalism?”

It's called a column dipshit

In response to the flood of burners and, let’s face it, men moaning about how this advice is either: 1. sexist or 2. pointless because everyone recognizes these volunteer tasks and gives credit for it, allow me to present a small sample of the ways that I, a professional woman, have been asked to volunteer to do…

Advising women how to navigate our sexist work culture is not being a “bigot.” Because let me guess--you believe sexism doesn’t exist?

What are those points worth, though, in relation to the opportunity cost of spending time organizing a party, cleaning a closet, or managing the coffee supply versus pursuing a big sale or completing a large project? I don’t doubt that you notice and value volunteerism, but I can’t put thankless tasks on my resume.

There’s nothing wrong or gross about sharing your life with others via social media, especially if you have something big going on. More than that, people who begrudge other people’s joy at sharing these things, no matter how mundane to you personally, tend to be complete assholes. So your friend has a baby and wants…

All this is is a hit piece on the woman who sent the photo. There’s no investigative work, no insightful quotes, just a woman and her friends very publicly getting a dig in on someone on the other side of the country.

I feel like if this was her first response instead of “I don’t really care, do u?” she might have fared better PR-wise.

I don’t personally care to debate about journalistic ethics or about whether this woman had a right to privacy if the photo was unsolicited. All I care about is how delightfully petty the journalist looks in the damn New York Times. She really thought it was a good look to be like, “yeah? Well you’re fat, your robe is…

That’s true, except the fact that the reporter and the wife are the same person really confuses things. When the group is at lunch, it’s the person recieving the picture sharing it, but in this anecdote:

Movies are about character development not just plot. The fear isn’t that one or two white folks will be inserted into the plot. The fear is that the story will centre those one or two white people and turn the Thais into background.

“mongrel hordes” Excuse me? This reads like a description of a non-playable race straight out of Dungeons&Dragons, or maybe bad Tolkien fanfic. If you’re interested in history, it’s the one without overwrought cliches.

I know you don’t actually fucking care, and you’re just a troglodyte that wants to spew Fox News talking points without ever having an original thought, but on the off-chance you actually are both uninformed and want to learn, here’s what’s actually happening.
