. . . does that happen? Do people with less powerful butts wake up one morning only to find that their butts quit on them? God I hope my butt never quits, I need it for sitting on.

I feel weirdly bad for an inanimate tree now.
But you seen, she WAS a responsible gun owner...right until the point where she had an accident, then she became an irresponsible gun owner. And since she became irresponsible, we can still claim that no responsible gun owner behaves this way.
The logic is flawless! :D
Accidental? Tragic? Yeah, let's throw up our hands Greek-tragedy-style and pull our hair and gouge our eyes for such a tragic, and unpreventable, truly inevitable, "tragic accident."
I hate that I laughed, but I did.
One more victim of white on white crime. When will white leaders like Wayne LaPierre speak out?
Now we will never know if she was truly ready.
My MIL's mother walked out on her 45 year marriage one day. Zero warning (according to my MIL's father but I never bought that). She got up, got dressed, and left a note. She left the house and never saw her husband or kids again. And I never understood why everyone on that side of the family was so surprised.
That's one of my favorite excuses to hear. (I jest.) "I need time to relax!" Yes, asshole, you do. Pardon me while I whip out the vacuum and scrub that toilet, as you are relaxing.
This is why I think you are a sucker if your husband expects you to work full time and raise a kid. Sorry, but if you are more educated or ambitious or have higher earning potential than your husband he needs to stay at home full time. None of this "women CAN have it all" bullshit - sounds more like "women can DO it…
Oh this. So much this. Add in the complication of disability with chronic pain.
This is the reason I don't have a partner now. I just found it easier not to have to manage another adult's life, including all the cleaning, cooking, shopping, bill paying, etc. It was too much work. The mom/kid family lacks an extra income but makes up for it in not have to deal with someone else's lack of…
I never had kids, but I finally, at 45-ish, decided to stop having relationships with men, and my life has been pretty blissful ever since. I know there are great, supportive, smart men out there, but I was never able to find one who wasn't more trouble than he was worth. There were emotional issues. There was…
There will be more studies like this about high-powered/promising women, one of which I'm part of, and they'll implicate husbands and the usual suspects in business, though perhaps more forcibly than before.
My husband tried to pull this shit on me after talking a long bullshit 50/50 child/home-work line, and for the…
I think a lot of men who grew up not contributing to household chores or childcare also experience what a Cracked writer once called "effort shock" - like sticker shock, you can't believe how much it takes until you actually see it.
Wow...If we were at a bar, I would be going on and on about my current situation; wondering how my optimistic high-achiever feminist 21 year-old self turned into a bitter, sad 40-something housewife. Right now I am trying to draft an email turning down an very interesting position that is, alas, full-time. It has…
It's good to have that discussion. It's even more important to watch the way he ACTS when you have a joint responsibility - a dog, the need to care for a sick friend or parent, or to house-sit. And is he always late because of work but blows his top if you need to cancel? Talk is cheap or well-intentioned. The…
I'm really glad that I figured out that I'm not ambitious, because that's making my choices feel a whole lot better right now. I feel truly bad for the women who ARE ambitious, because this position between a rock and hard place is not getting better. It also increases exploitation of lower class women as…
Ugh. This line though:
