Care to elaborate?

I dunno, I think that if you didn't know what Jezebel was, you'd still "get" the joke as being about feminist blogs and feminist activism in general.

Yeah, it's a feminist joke. As in, "She went full feminazi and accused me of raping her weekend."

Oh my god, I'm going to institute mommy-kid dance time when I'm stressed and he/she has a lot of energy.

Is it weird that I like my body on its own, but then I don't like it in comparison? For example, i was at the gym yesterday and feeling great about my run and weight lifting...and then there's always someone more fit and more thin and more conventionally attractive than I am and I feel like an ugly duckling with pit…

This (perhaps unfairly) bothers me as someone trying to get into grad school now, because she's flaunting the "rules." The "rules" being that you work hard in undergrad, take entry-level jobs in the field you want, and then gain experience and make connections. It almost seems like doing porn is an easy way out of…

Guys, I saw this when Craig from Degrassi was the male lead. And I saw his butt!

Lol, I talk to my boyfriend about babies and weddings, but can't think of the last time I had a talk like that with any lady friends (and most, if not all, of my friends are women).

I would argue she's not mature enough to be in that relationship then. She either needs to be honest about wanting an open relationship, or GTFO before marriage and kids.

Yeah, that's a good analogy too.

I would argue that cheating is less like giving into fettuccini alfredo on a no-carb diet, and more like...you can eat everything *but* fettuccini alfredo, but you go ahead and do it anyway even though you had a couple chances to leave the restaurant or order something else. I think of monogamy as hard, but not…

If they cheated, were they really happy though? I'd argue that something either only they or their partner knew was in play. I think people who are in truly healthy relationships don't cheat (non-monogamy is totally different) because that involves lying to and hurting their partner. And if you're relationship isn't…

Yeah, I think that's definitely true, hence the fast food analogy : ). I think bad choices are always more attractive when we're already feeling bad. Maybe it's an issue of maturity, that you can see what might make you happy in the immediate present will make you miserable in the long run.

I feel like people are very black and white about monogamy. Either it's "easy" because you've found the right partner or it's "impossible" because it goes against our nature. In my experience, it's (like most things) something between the two. I've been with my partner for 4.5 years, and there have definitely been…

Ugh, I made the mistake of listening to the "Surfboard" song. Veeeery similar to Bey's. The semi-rapping part was pretty much on the same rhythm as her verses. Even if they happened independently (suuuuure), why wouldn't you change that?

I am so sorry that happened to you. On another note, how the FUCK is one year an appropriate sentence for multiple sexual assaults?? You know how we judge murder by intent, like if the person was panicked or doing it out of self defense? NO SUCH THING FOR RAPING. You can't panic and accidentally rape someone. I am…

Yeaaaaaah I think we're talking about the exact same type of articles. Writing about how cool Lupita is not the same as actually addressing WOC issues...

I agree. I like Jez, but I feel like when they address WOC issues, it's done with this weird tone like, "You go black girl! We're totes not racist! We love black people!" instead of actually just writing more serious and nuanced articles about issues that WOC face.

I think that's (another reason) why those "Girls, stop drinking/wearing short skirts/leaving your house at night or you'll get raped!" articles are so offensive. The "price" of being female is giving up things you might like in order to feel safe and comfortable and that we should just give up and pay that price…

Unfortunately, a lot of her more recent stuff is very co-written by large musical producers—the kind of people you know do most of the writing, like Max Martin. Though her original songs probably came from her with minor tweaking, it's not completely accurate that she's maintained the same authenticity and very…
