Someone pointed out upthread in the comments that the interviewer would probably give her five minutes to be polite, and then not hire her. If she can't find childcare for the interview, they may be afraid that she won't be able to find it consistently once she's working.

I feel like a good, "8-year-old Superfan Lacey Holsworth has lost her battle with nerve cancer" would have been much much better. The whole "your lunch time cry" wording is akin to some sort of viral video heads up. (I love you Hilary. Please know this)

Can we talk about that headline? I mean. This story is sad enough. That was just a bit gut punching.

And we wonder how we keep the poor in poverty. In France, she could have found a day care center. For free.

I'll drink to that! And one for Mahler!

Does anyone still wear a hat?

I am so sorry you went through that. I hope everything is better now, and since I don't know what else to say, here is a puppy.

Ugh the erection thing is so idiotic. It can be caused by any stimulus even if you aren't aroused in the slightest (such as the common "bus vibrating gave me a boner" story). Women can also become wet during an assault it is not voluntary and does not equal consent sometimes biology trumps emotions or desire. I feel…

Oh, it's a great point. There's really not enough research and prevention for anything that falls outside of a male-on-female paradigm, and more work on non-normative predators and victims is sorely needed.

Thank you! As a feminist, straight male an a domestic violence victim (ex wife), I am constantly facing down the idea that only I and other cis males are capable of rape, assault, abuse, and intimidation.

Oooof. This hits really close to home. A few years ago, I went through a period where nearly every man I dated had some story about the much-older woman he had sex with while he was a very young teen. On the surface, it was always told as a tale of their virility and impressive masculinity, a story meant to make me…

I'm so sorry you went through that. I hope things are better for you now. x

Reading the majority of these comments shows how these commenters are NEVER around children. I don't have my own but I did help out with my nephews a lot. And at three they would have firmly stood there and tried to convince me of their way. Actually one would have tried and the other two would have been back up…

I have a 3-year-old son. This is what they act like. My children have an excellent example in their father and I still have 50 conversations just like this every day. We are all perfect parents until we have kids.

Every time I read the words "forcible rape"

"You can't do anything if you can't get everything out of the wall and if you cannot break everything down"

Oh my gawd what a little charmer, I die!

Boont. Booont. Boont cake.

We all different, but we all fruit.

Well now my upcoming pap smear has a whole new dimension of terror.
