What about the women that did leave the baby at home? I’m sure someone else there was breastfeeding/had to hire a sitter/found an expensive daycare. Why does this person get to skip all that when 100 other women didn’t? What makes this one woman so special?

With who? I definitely see your point, but it is frustrating when people say “leave the baby at home” as if it can just chill there in the crib alone nbd. Leaving the baby at home means paying someone a ton of money, having a fantastic support system most people don’t have, or having access to a day care that is…

For me it comes down to one point: Did the author specifically ask whether she could bring the baby? If she did, then sentencing her to a breastfeeding room without warning is a jerk move on the part of the organizer, no question.

This is my reaction as well. My problem with bringing infants into the workplace is due solely to noise. Babies make noise: happy noise, upset noise, healthy baby noise. Why am I a bad feminist if I can’t concentrate around this and ask that it not be in my workspace?

I don’t have kids yet. Let’s get that out of the way. While reading this article I kept noticing how the author kept mentioning how quiet her baby was. That’s great, -if it’s true. But let’s not forget that we all tend to be biased towards our own. People never think their dogs will bite someone, or that their kids…

I’m not an “older feminist” however that doesn’t mean I think every meeting/space should include children. It’s ok to have adult only events, the fact that the topic of the conference is women’s empowerment doesn’t change that. I don’t understand this attitude some people seem to have that they can bring their…

Humanity came from Africa, and we are very destructive.

I can see it happening too. I can also see like...checking them out. He’s not dead. But only a tonedeaf schmoo is asinine enough to put that jazz on twitter. Or facebook. Or on a work email. Or anywhere but in the scroll across his lil pea brain.

Has anyone who has ever said “I think we need to take a break” done so with the intent of actually getting back together?

Sounds like a gecko kiss.

I think that one of the main reasons these jokes are considered acceptable is the way it was framed by the media - as a Barnes vs. Fisher battle . Two rich men acting like High Schoolers over a girl is funny. However, that framing eliminates Gloria from the story. By doing so, it eliminates the real terror that must…

You should try putting it on - my mom is 5’1 and a wisp of a woman and I too am a huge bitch (literally). When we finally cracked it out of its hermetically-sealed box and I put my forearms through the tiny sleeves it was the most ludicrous thing we’d ever seen and a hilarious bonding moment even though I wasn’t…

Also, Moms don’t think about how ridiculous their dresses can look when their daughters get married. My mom got married in ‘91 and I swear I could make a dress out of the fabric on the shoulder poofs alone.

Bangs cut off your face, your wonderful, beautiful face,

alternately, bangs hide my forehead. my horrible, tall and expansive forehead.

Oh, love a good benzo! I'm glad you are doing better! That job must have been super stressful to give you such high blood pressure in your 20s. My blood pressure is so low that my mom jokes that I only smoke to keep myself alive because it gives me just enough of a blood pressure raise !

I have had to be hospitalized for a anxiety attack but it was mainly because I was having crazy-high blood pressure that was up in the stroke zone.

Caleb loved history but now he’s history- is it bad that this made me lol?

Slaves, perhaps?
