I know when I read that I was so dissapointed. Its surreal, so out of touch and date its like he’s reading dialogue from Mad Men. This is who is consulted on how to make BW truly awesome in response to the controversy? Here’s a crazy idea: ask a woman.

Drunk mom stories are the best.

I found this really disturbing too, and I’m both surprised and sad more people aren’t at least mildly perturbed by it. I wasn’t ‘made to have kids’ any more than a man was, and I’m an ‘honest, real-life woman’ even though I’ve never taken kids into account in my own life.

It is refreshing to see a male version of the trope. But in THIS interview, by this writer, the choice to have her background include sterilization is *explicitly* because she is a woman, and the writer regards children as an explicitly female ‘thing’. Because women are ‘made to have children’, and he believes you…

The only thing I’ve enjoyed about the bouquet toss is the Parting of the Spinsters as nobody really wanted to catch it.

We didn’t toss a bouquet or a garter. We tossed a Unicorn and a Dinosaur. And encouraged everyone, singles and non-singles, to try and vie for them. If the root of the tradition is that we are supposed to impart some of our love and good will to others, then everyone should be able to play—no singling out the…

How is shoe-horning in imaginary Baby Need a feminist topic? Feminists want equal work for equal pay and equal opportunities. There’s enough discussion of motherhood everywhere else, enough that the only real discussion in feminism about it is to ask why women must always be defined by their uteri.

Some great points, but I think the character would have been totally fine without the kid angst mention at all. It still seems like an unnecessary addition.

Queen Latifah is absolutely drop dead gorgeous.

OMG YAAAAS YASSSSSSS TO EVERY IDIOT COMMENTER WHO KEPT SAYING SHE WAS JUST OVERLINING HER LIPS I AM SINGING DASHBOARD’S VINDICATED AND DANCING AROUND THIS AIRPORT TERMINAL ALSO I AM PROBABLY VERY DRUNK

And hey, that sounds like a good life to me!

this is peak Cubs game right here

He sounds seriously bad for you...I would completely cut and run. But then again I have probably one of the most supportive and loving men on the face of the earth and I can’t imagine settling for anything less.

Be wary of people who hide their cruelty behind “jokes”. If someone you love frequently says shitty, insulting things to you and then claims they were “kidding” if you take offense, you have a serious problem on your hands. I’ve reached the conclusion (based on lots of experience and some armchair psychology) that…

Also: you’re allowed to be picky about all sorts of things that are less important and no one judges you for it: what you want for dessert (10 minute commitment), the movie you want to see (2 hour commitment), or where you want to vacation (7 day commitment). If it’s okay to be picky about that, how much more okay is…

Get out of there. Your mid-20s is still SO much time, and it’s time when you should be enjoying building your career and your life.

The not respecting your work thing hit home, because that was pretty much exactly the kind of thing that happened with husband 1... Insulting jokes became basic disrespect for my work and academic discipline (I teach at a community college)... then it was the assumption that I wanted to be in administration, when I…

Now is the time. In a few weeks there will be some other crisis in his life to prevent you from leaving. He can sense it’s coming. Good luck, break ups are so damn hard.

Even before you mentioned the despicable comment, I was thinking, She’s done. Listen to your instinct. This is not the guy. You don’t need to go into a detailed explanation. He’s not the right guy for you.

Do it. It won’t get easier. Something’s always going to be hard in your lives, and the truth might as well come out now as later.
