I’m a feminist. I believe in believing women about abuse. I believe Brad Pitt lost his temper on a flight (at least once) and acted in a manner that meets the definition of “abuse.” Pitt and “sources close to him” haven’t been able to muster a denial, which tells me there’s not nothing to see. I believe that Angelina…

Or maybe it was serious enough to want custody and think she should have it, but not so bad she thinks he’s a criminal, and she’s a human woman with normal emotions and a responsibility to their kids?

I wouldn’t. There’s not a not of leeway in how much I can eat without gaining weight.

You know, I thought my education in sexual assault/domestic violence & feminism would keep me immune from problematic gender-related behaviors (my partner wasn’t abusive). I blamed myself after the relationship was over for not being more angry. I had to talk to my therapist to work past that.

She filed for divorce because he got physical with one of the kids, a fact which is not in dispute (only the degree is in dispute) and the incident is being investigated by the FBI and LA DCFS. Under those circumstances a supervised visit seems completely standard.

I still can’t believe she surgically altered her face so much given how gorgeous she was to start with.

How. Seeing this little snippet of how rich folks deal with divorce is pretty much exactly how I have to deal with clients and cases as a legal services attorney in a rural part of the country. Only, my clients ask about drug tests and therapy and supervised visits, but I have to go into full “manage expectations…

My mom is average height, probably around 5'6 and she’s always been jealous of how short I am because I can “date anyone I want!” I also have an affinity for very high heels. I love being short because I have a really big personality and I really think I’d be an annoying person if I were any taller haha.

My best friend is 5'10 and her ex was 5'7, max. She said he used to “climb me like a tree.”

I seriously doubt they had any choice in the matter. DCFS doesn’t get to sit on a substantiated claim of abuse for 30 days before it’s turned over to the court. The court has the case already, this is its temporary custody order. It’s pretty standard terms for a case like this.

I worry about that whole “right age to have children” thing just because I know that sooner than I want my body is going to stop being a baby-making fertility factory and start becoming a derelict fertility wasteland. When evolution or science (whichever comes first) catches up with our societal pressures and allows…

I am an older parent and while I appreciate that I am more patient, I gotta be honest: I don’t have the energy to sit on the floor and play. At my age, there is a fair shot that if I get down there, I won’t be getting up, you know? So there is definitely a plus side to being in your early 20s vs. mid 30s when you have…

I can’t believe I didn’t see the flashing red warning signs before I married my ex. What the hell. I have only just stopped asking myself what is wrong with me, and I’ve been divorced for several years.

Definitely not judging from Nicole. Hell, I’m childless and 35 but by this age, my own mother had me (last baby at 33) after 4 previous starting at 23!! I certainly don’t judge or think poorly of my mom. I just look back at when I was 23 and even now and think there’s no way on Earth I could be handling 5 children all…

What she means is, when you grow up, 26 is childhood. It’s postadolescent. You look at your old photos and you marvel at how little and unwise and young and immature you were then, even though you felt like a grownup at the time. You remember your thoughts at that age and you cringe at their sheer…

Interesting. I read it more as her talking about herself and how young she was than as throwing shade or judgement towards Taylor. I think she was saying she couldn’t believe she was doing the most at such a young age, but that’s what she wanted. I’d be curious to see the full interview rather than the pull quotes…

And even if the contract had a weight/appearance clause, calling her out in public in insulting terms isn’t the way to handle the issue.

Gosh, they’re both so gorgeous in this photo.

The best/worst/most predictable part of this is that she wasn’t even in a sex tape — she just posed topless for Playboy.

my worst Miss U.
