My daughter said to me, in reference to her father, “Don’t worry mom, I won’t marry a man who is useless.”

So many thoughts on this one and no shot in hell at stringing them together in a coherent fashion.

But since I have the floor and I can’t ungrey anyone, I think it’s hilarious that whenever a thread about women’s unseen and unappreciated labor goes up, some chode will inevitably whine about women having a preferred height. OR you can see for yourself how many men will self-profess to being the cooker/cleaner/home…

Someone on here talked about when she was married, her husband bitched about how things weren’t done and why couldn’t she be a better wife and mom? So she divorced him. He ended up being late to most events and lived in squalor (worse than when they were married), but then she said, at least I didn’t have to put up…

“I have always been surprised by the number of people I know who seem to actively dislike their spouse and/or children.”

Every once in a while my wife will come home from hanging out with a married friend and thank me for not being terrible. It’s kind of a joke, but only kind of. I’m out here earning points for not…

Its SUPER cringey how much old humor was basically “oh boy, I sure do HATE my wife, I hope she dies, or at least I can die to avoid her!”

The quarantine experience was definitely a red pill moment for a lot of couples. 

That’s the thing. They do, but while we’re talking about equality, it’s not the same thing.

I think so many of us are stuck with the romantic image of what marriage is that the reality of partnership can be extremely difficult. Finding a middle ground, learning each other’s preferences, and putting in the actual work to be team members.

Some of it needs to be obvious to be recognized, but it’s often down to how men and women are socialized. Generally, we [men] are socialized so that we do “manly” chores while women do the rest. We’re not trained in basic skills such as meal preparation, laundry, dish cleaning, and general household cleaning. So when…

THANK YOU for saying this. I also came from a family where not only my mother got fucked over, but almost every single one of my aunts got fucked over. And some of those women are still in their marriages and tell me they’re happy. But, they sure as fuck don’t look happy.

Like every single dirtbag is comments like omg why do we even care about the private lives of these people we don’t know??? And um..... I’m not sure what they thought the purpose of a celebrity gossip feature was but it’s literally that. 

it always tickles me when people click on Dirt Bag, a feature that we all know is celebrity gossip then act so shocked and disappointed when celebrity gossip is discussed.

Yeah it’s a bummer that the nice guy comic you like so much is a reckless prick in real life but all of these indignant comments that there is gossip going on in this gossip column are hilarious.

A Them getting with a Who upsets the natural celebrity order.

I think there’s a difference between a character actor, particularly a private one who has never made their personal life part of their job (at least on purpose), and someone who made “their business” their literal business and then continues to do so. Kind of like the idea of “opening the door” in court.

I don’t really understand where the “it isn’t our business” takes are coming from. This is a classic celebrity scandal (drugs! cheating with strippers! a secret baby! a scheming mistress!), and it’s fascinating because it cuts directly across the image Mulaney has sold himself on for years. (It’s almost literary how…

That’s an amazing saying! I guess the phenomenon of nosy, judgmental people is kind of one of those things that occurs regardless of time and place. Seems like an exhausting way to live, but what do I know?

I can not for the life of me find the quote, but it was something like "does math faster than southern women at a christening". Y'all stay out of these folks business. He probably shouldn't be getting into a serious relationship this newly sober but you know, getting sober makes you take inventory of your whole life…

Correct: It isn’t just indulging our prurient interest when we can justify it with some armchair psychology.
