I have a lot of compassion for the women in my life in these unequal partnerships. I would never say any of what I just wrote to them. But I also think part of the whole point of comments sections on sites like this is the freedom to be able to express personal views openly, to say some of the quiet part out loud?

I can’t think of a single friend whose man was doing his share before they got married though. There isn’t a single case where they can truly say it’s a surprise that after they got married he totally changed and stopped helping out. I mean, if you’re already buying your boyfriend’s mom her birthday present when…

I think we’re more aware of issues like emotional labour than we were even a few years ago. As for your comment re: the people saying women should have seen their partners for who they were before, while I get your point, at the same time, as a straight woman, how do you not just assume that your man will be just like…

As a woman, I sometimes get irked by these complaints from women about their husbands. Of course, the husbands should step up, but why did these women marry these men? Some of them act like they had no agency in the matter of choosing a spouse.

I’ve always said - obviously men want to get married. They are the one’s who are rewarded for marriage. They get easier and higher raises at work, better positions, they get a person taking care of them, someone else who has to actually grow and birth a child etc. Women get nothing out of marriage other than more…

Fellow spinster here and though there have been moments throughout the pandemic where I wished I didn’t live alone, for the most part it’s been fine. And the best cure is looking at my friends stuck at home with their kids and their useless husbands and their frail egos that need constant cheerleading, trying to do…

Did you watch the bodycam footage?

She admitted to struggling with her mental health and clearly they had a volatile relationship. I was convinced this was an open and shut ‘he obviously did it’ case until I watched the footage and now I think another scenario that has to be considered is that they had a horrible fight which possibly got physical, he…

Yeah, I’ve had to self-impose limits on the time I spend on social media, and online in general.

Personally, I’m not always a big fan of the fact that phrases can be trademarked. Language is so malleable; and I hate to see short phrases get tied up in such legal protections.

But no one heard about it, or cared, until Cara Delevingne wore it on a vest to the Met Gala. It’s not fair, but that’s how things work in fashion and celebritydom.

So what do you propose? 

Please. This is damage control. They don’t want Britney out in public making bad life choices before she’s free of the conservatorship. I’m betting she announces her pregnancy the day after she’s legally set free.

Non-famous couples who indulge in cringey public PDA for attention are also insufferable, they just get less hate because they’re not famous.

Plus it’s a civil case, not a criminal one, so even if the court did find him liable it’s not like there will be some Interpol red alert out for his arrest, he just can’t go to the US. 

Really?

I think mentioning it also reminds people that we have since changed the ages of consent to reflect our evolving mores regarding underage people having sex. It’s funny how people here only care about bad journalism when right wingers do it, but they think it’s normal to call out The Post for including all relevant…

Leaving it out would be bad journalism. And leaving it out would be omitting the fact that the age of consent was changed to reflect our evolving mores on underage people having sex.

This is such a hot take I thought Joan Summers wrote it and then I remembered she left Jez.

This.
