Paltrow’s beef with porn is that it gives impressionable young women the wrong idea about their public perception—specifically, that they should be “fuckable” and that this ineffable trait is their primary concern. Anyone with the capability to understand nuance as it relates to popular media or the vast world of…

I really wish she hadn’t chosen family leave, because that was an issue Ivanka took up, and honestly, it makes the comparisons too easy.

I’m glad people are talking about this, but it isn’t limited to reproductive justice groups. A lot of national issue organizations are like this. 

From the NY Post Story:

People coming out helped the straights get okay with the gays, so it stands to reason that sharing abortion stories could help the anti-choicers. I recall when working at a reproductive justice organization that polling showed that even though about half of Americans will say they are “pro-life” on a poll, if the same…

True. Good defense of Grimes. I don’t think she’s in the for the money. I can’t say the same about fame...

Elon definitely tries to get his PR apparatus to make it seem like he doesn’t get dumped, but when the women speak for themselves, it is clear they are dumping him. Justine Musk told Elon to get his crap together and change or it was over. Talulah Riley ended things the first time but let him file the divorce papers,…

When I think about all of the women who stay in horrible relationships, and then how no woman will stay with Musk in spite of the fact that he is rich AF and famous.  He must be bringing being a bad partner to dizzying new heights. 

I literally can’t think of another explanation that can inspire empathy in this fact pattern. So I am saying IF it is for the only reason I can come up with, that isn’t great. I also tried to look up more coverage of her crying to see if she explained anything about it and came up empty handed before I wrote that.…

I wish I knew the reason she was crying. It seems like she did something pretty cowardly. Knowing it is right to vote no but voting present because it is strategic (if not for a Senate run then possibly to appease Democratic leaders). So if she was crying because it is so hard to lack courage, I have no sympathy.…

A lot of people are commenting about all of the reasons, other than her being a pretty, young, middle class white woman that this murder is getting more coverage than the murders of BIPOC women. And some of them are valid points. But, when used to counter the point about the lack of coverage of the murder of BIPOC…

I think studies show that men are good at splitting things equally prior to marriage, but those behaviors start to disappear after marriage and drop off dramatically after a child is born. So its not about not marrying this guy. He wasn’t this guy when they got married. Its hard to divorce someone because the…

My husband: I think I am doing more than half of the household responsibilities. I want  to renegotiate.

Studies show that people overestimate how much housework they do and underestimate how much their partner does. So, if most men say they do half and their wives do half, then that would suggest that most men do less than half and most women do more than half. 

Yes. And bonus: if you divorce your spouse and he accepts 50% (or even less) of custody, you are a single parent who gets periodic breaks, which is better than being a single parent who is married and never gets a break. 

His concerns over abandoning his son also take on a different meaning, and his belief that “bottling things up” could be healthy now seems especially self-destructive given what he knows his own father went through.

PSA on drugs: its tempting to think seeing Coach Beard on mushrooms during a game would be funny based on how drugs are portrayed in TV and movies, but in reality, he probably wouldn’t seem very different. If he took a microdose, you wouldn’t know. Roy could guess which game, so presumably he took something closer to…

I’m guessing the list-makers are more likely to share a household with a partner. It took several months of “put it on the list” in response to, “hey, we’re out of ________” to get there, so I didn’t have to carry the mental load of remembering what to get between and during grocery trips. I just can’t imagine being…

I am definitely overthinking this, but I don’t think its true that Ted hides from his friends that he is in pain.

Ted hitting bottom as he recognizes that his subordinates do all of the individual parts of his job better than he does
