It definitely needs more research. 

Overall I have a fairly egalitarian household, thank goodness. Hubs cooks dinner and I clean. We do our own laundry (although he does his infrequently and leaves epic laundry piles on the floor). He will happily do almost any chore I ask him to do (I’m still the household manager - aren’t we all?). And he does all of…

My husband is the same way. His socks come off in the living room and maybe a week later he will toss them down the hall into the bedroom. I mean, I guess it’s good that they’re not in the couch anymore...

It’s amazing how many people look at me like I have two heads when I tell them my husband and I do our own laundry. A) They think it’s bonkers that we don’t put our laundry together, and B) They think it’s strange that I don’t clean his clothes.

Dude both has and wears way more clothes than I do. He goes through…

Same in my household. We both earn close to the same amount and work similar hours. Hubs makes dinner and I clean up. He does most of the outside work (he enjoys it), while I tidy up inside more often than he does. He certainly makes more messes than I do, but he’s happy to split the regular chores with me when it…

Yard work is basically a weekly job in the summer. You go out and mow the lawn, maybe trim the hedges, rake things up. It’s a few hours of hard work, but then it’s done for another week. Dishes need to be done every night. The floor always needs to be swept. Dinner always needs to be made. The bed always needs to be…

This makes me super grateful that my MIL remembers that my husband has always been a slob and has no qualms about shaming him when he doesn’t pick up his laundry. For the most part, though, they just don’t comment on our house unless it’s to offer a compliment.

Helps that both my mother and MIL are successful working…

As we well know at this point, rape is not about sex, but about power. Although this specifies that it will be used for pedophiles, it’s ignorant to assume this will keep sex offenders from reoffending because they will still enjoy the power they wield over their victims, whether they get off or not.

There’s no real…

I agree that certainly clothing is appropriate for certain situations. I think most people would agree with that. But that’s not really the conversation being had here. This is about telling girls that they are responsible for the actions of boys, that their bodies are inherently sinful, and that they should be…

Imo, people actually accept violent rape more than they accept rape where a women is physically unharmed. How many times have we seen women disbelieved because they didn’t have injuries? She didn’t fight hard enough, if she wanted to get away she could have, it’s not like he had a gun to her head, blah blah blah.…

“...there are people who don’t want to accept that this happens and it’s a terrible thing. And if it’s done in a way that’s incredibly sensitive and about the story, what are they worried about?”

I feel strongly that assisted death laws need to be expanded so people suffering from severe mental illness are able to choose this as a release from their pain. In Canada only people with terminal illnesses are able to choose assisted death, and even then, they can only make that choice when they are mentally sound. …

I get where Abrams is coming from because she has to vouch for her state, but money talks. She’s worried how this will effect Joe-Blow Taxpayer? Well, they’re the ones who are voting for the people who put forward these initiatives.

Policies have consequences. All states that enact these bans need to feel that loss in…

It doesn’t surprise me at all the the “monsters” in prison were the guards and not the inmates. Although I’m sure there are many good prison guards who want to make sure inmates are healthy and well cared for, I actually doubt it’s the majority. The abuses of power, and outright abuses, are horrific in both women’s…

When I saw the title of this story I thought it must have been from early on in her career. Who even deigns to give direction to OPRAH WINFREY ? Who thinks they know better than she does how to do the thing that everyone knows she’s the best at out of ALL OTHER HUMAN BEINGS?

I’m not a parent, but my parents were both fully involved in their careers. Neither stepped back. My mother has always out-earned my father by a landslide, but she still did the lion’s share of work in the home and almost all of the child-rearing. Families don’t need someone to step back, they either need someone who…

I truly don’t understand where this four-hour workday came from. It’s not long enough to get anything done, and not long enough for anyone to be paid enough to live. Prices for goods and services are not going to be cut in half so people can work 16 hours a week.

A four-day work week isn’t unreasonable, but it would…

You’re not wrong.

First of all, Barbies were never about “wholesome play”. If this lady knew what I made my Barbies do, and what every other 10-12 year old girl did with them, she’d be horrified.

Dude thinks this is in like Sound of Music territory where everyone knows the songs and is willing to come out for a singalong. Not so much.
