No, a woman was attempting to shame ("What's your excuse?" you only have to have an excuse if you have done something wrong) everyone in the world, for not being like her, and we are not having that shit.

Yes. She is very dumb. And kind of an ass.

"Whats my excuse? I dont need one. I have four children, I'm healthy, I'm happy, I have a man who thinks I am hotter than hell even if I am a little overweight..and I enjoy my life and the people in it. I dont choose to spend all my time in the gym, because I just dont enjoy it. There is no law that says you have to…

That... doesn't actually rebut what I said. But, okay.

No, cats should go outside. How can you in good conscious deprive a living thing of the natural world?

Yeah, my grandmother had 8 kids and several miscarriages and had to have her uterus removed in her fifties because it was killing her from the inside. Then she died of cancer because by the time it was removed it was already too late. Whatever your educational level, it's pretty clear gestation is a form of parasitic…

Yeah, Jezebel, it's time for you to really mature and stop posting factual stuff about pregnancy that makes it look scary because it makes me feel weird and I can't handle my adult emotions! GROW UP ALREADY, JEZEBEL.

I think there's enough "pregnancy is great and motherhood is the only thing that makes your life truly worthwhile" to even out the score.

Could someone on Jezebel do a post on the fundraiser someone on Gawker started for this young woman? It seriously needs a signal boost.

I don't know, dude. The thing that the author seems to be forgetting is that her friends and family and coworkers are people too and have their own shit to deal with and her breakup isn't really as important to them as it is to her. They have their own lives to worry about, and interests beyond being the best and most…

My brother said something brilliant one time when we were all grieving the loss of a relative, he said, "no one can tell you how to grieve..." And it applies to just about every instance of loss. The only thing you can tell a person, a friend, a stranger when they are clearly suffering is, "I know you are hurting, and…

I have it all.

A nice house that's big enough to not feel crowded but small enough to not feel overwhelming when we're cleaning. A car that is very nice, dependable, but not ostentatious. A teaching position that only requires my presence on campus 12-15 hours/week. Some kids. Good husband. One lovable cat.

I have…

Okay, I'll grant the media attention is all skewed white, but white women have been braiding hair just as long as black women have. Braids are a pretty universal way to deal with long hair. Rather than "white women" the important part of it is is "rich women" (which are generally white.) It is not because "white"…

THis guy is a tool and deserves every bit of mocking for what he says publicly. His interview on Huffpo was stunning in its racism and lack of self-awareness. However, I stand by my view that PRIVATE emails and texts and conversations should not be used for public ridicule. Im really bothered by this on a lot of…

I'm 7 months pregnant right now. I'm 28 years old. At this current stage in my life, I can honestly say that I give ZERO FUCKS about whether or not my thighs touch or don't touch.

I think the main problem is that we assume that anything fit/thin people are eating or drinking (or pretending to) is "healthy," as though that were the only measure of health.

I think most of these guys assume that if you make eye contact and the woman doesn't immediately kick you in the balls, she wants to have sex. So yeah, rage stroke.

The irony is her concern about being able to raise the baby shows that she does have the maturity to make said decision. This is what floors me so much— women care about abortion because they care about motherhood, not because they don't care. We understand that bringing another human being into the world is a BIG…

Making a child carry a pregnancy to term, endangering her life and physical and mental health, to have a baby she does not want simply to add another child to the adoption pool of homeless children? Making her have and give up a baby? She's a foster child with abusive parents for god's sake! I am so sick of people…

I have 12 cats. I rescue strays. Yeah I'm perpetually single. People tell me that's weird and creepy. Alright, whatever. I'm happy for those 12 little lives. They are my friends.
