That is so interesting, because I’ve spent a lot of time working in an odd capacity with older people in a way that involves asking about their families. I think there are a lot of women in your friend’s position. There are different complications for women whose new professions aren’t as lucrative as their spouse’s…

My bestie just moved several states away to her parents’ home over just that issue. He was the breadwinner and she was the housewife. He lost his job. She has nursing credentials and got a full time job pretty much instantly. Not only didn’t he do the cleaning, the cooking, or the laundry, but she routinely came home…

*chiming in: I think you sound like an asshole! Commenting unprovoked not once but TWICE that if a woman wants a date she should just lose weight? Fuck off. Maybe you can’t get a date because of your shitty personality.

If you cannot see beyond your own pain to realize that others have pain as well that hurts them just as much as yours hurts you, then some growth is needed in order to be a better potential partner.

That “you’ll have no one to take care of you!” concern trolling is hilarious to me. One of my Saturday morning with coffee, guilty pleasures is reading advice columns (great way to feel like you’ve got your shit together!), and at the least, once a week there’s a person who did everything ‘right’ but their partner…

Excellent points. I got married and had three children. My husband dumped me; my children all grew up and moved out of state. I recently had a medical emergency and had to drive myself to the hospital and spend three days there, alone, with no visitors, then I drove myself home.

I hear this. When my sister tells me about the division of household chores, I want to get on the phone with her husband and tell him to cop the fuck on.

Speaking as someone who has gone through every relationship type and decided singlehood suits me best, it is being around married/committed people that confirm my…

I have been single and celibate for almost twelve years. Some of the reasons are bad luck, some poor dating demographics (African descent, PhD, overweight) but the most compelling reason I stayed single after my divorce is that I learned to enjoy my own company and develop myself. I just didn’t want to be burdened…

My standard response: the people I hire with all the money I saved by not having children.

The cost vs. benefit analysis just does not come out in favour of cleaning, cooking and managing someones calendar, having to watch Top Gear for gods sake for what in return? I’m my own wife now, I keep a nice house and make good food and appreciate myself thank you very much.

I once worked at a university (in athletics/coaching), and my boss (the head coach) was always so clueless about how my lifestyle was different from his. He was married and his wife did everything for him: cooked, cleaned, took care of their kids and also worked a full time job, so that he could pursue his coaching…

I’m newly single after 14 years. I’m finding my family and friends (and you guys) to be what’s getting me through. As a woman, I always find it’s my sisters and women friends who are the most important, nurturing and reliable long term relationships. I’ve actually been less lonely since the break up. According to a…

Not that I recall, but her twitter feed is full of alt-right Nazis screaming “Ivanka’s prettier than you are.” I guess you’re only allowed to criticize Ivanka if you’re a supermodel.

Well, the thing is, you aren’t alone. In this particular pain, you have a shared experience with countless others (myself included).

Tucker Carlson’s behavior in that interview is straight out of a domestic violence playbook: undermine, insult, and debase. That his producers and the network would allow him treat a guest that way shows their complicity.

Not human beings -- women. Women can’t have multiple interests, unless they are one of the handful of women he knows as humans beings.

When he couldn’t continue to rage about out-of-context tweets, he went straight to “you know about One Direction, so naturally every opinion you hold is invalid”. How fucking embarrassing for him, to not know in 2016 that human beings can have multiple interests.

This was a study in misogyny.

I was waiting for you guys to write about this...Duca handled herself so well considering she was being screamed at by a legitimate psycho

Ohhh whitr mediocre man, can’t go wrong with them and their moronic opinions.
