Ashton Kutcher’s friendship and business partnership with Danny Masterson makes me give his advocacy for sex slaves serious side eye.

I think you´re right, but it also has to do with unequal balance of emotional and household labor. There are many things that fall on women to do and we do it because it has to be done or else everything will go to shit and if we don´t do it, no one will and we know it. And this includes when we don´t feel well or are…

NOPE.

This sounds a lot like the (valid) period defense. And you know what? No sympathy for the dudes.

It would be REALLY cool if Jezebel could contact their ad network about that AUTOMATICALLY FORWARDING ad for Lesbian porn (Lesben-Fun auf dem Sofa... yaaaaaaay) that is served on my android tablet here.

this is nuts. I have travelled twice with my children on airlines. the first time, I was by myself with my then 1 year old and 4 year old. my 1 year old was a lap baby. he was not “strapped in” during the entire flight. I breastfed him throughout. my kids were moderately behaved, but they were bouncing around in their…

Some of us just want to watch the world burn, okay? That’s why I’m never going to stop plying my brother-in-law with wine and then bringing up my crazy aunt. If no one is screaming at the dinner table and nothing is set on fire by the end of the night, I’m not interested in attending the event.

It isn’t that people necessarily show up with the intent of lobbing grenades, but when you’ve got grievances that have festered for years between people who don’t see each other often, add in a lot of alcohol, it’s often hard to resist the opportunity to have it out.

Festivus for the rest of us.

There wasn’t an option in the quiz for “It’s pie, so it’s good.” I like pumpkin pie but I don’t think it’s the best pie (like Anna does) or have the visceral hatred of it that Megan does. I’d probably take apple pie over pumpkin, though (although, the rumor is that the person who is bringing pie to our Thanksgiving…

1. Pumpkin pie is delicious.

Pumpkin pie is pretty ok. Like many thanksgiving foods, it’s good enough that I’m happy to have it at thanksgiving and not particularly sad not to have it other times.

Anna’s opinions are the only right opinions, on both the racist nature of this otherwise excellent holiday and on pie. Also:

I had to go back on meds recently and with the shooting in Texas I’ve felt super paranoid about people knowing I have a mental illness. It’s scary because some well meaning people try to downplay it as “It’s only depression not like serious.” It is serious! My brain thinks killing myself is a viable answer. I’m…

Mental Health Thread:

I celebrated five years sober on Wednesday. It still feels surreal sometimes. My daughter wrote the most beautiful, touching note to me. It was the sweetest thing I’ve ever read. Been a rough week emotionally, these sexual assault revelations are super tough and bring up a lot of stuff. Hope everyone is doing okay.

That’s not unreasonable, I guess I’m just hyper-alert for transphobes who would use the “male attacker” logic to push transfolks out of public spaces.

I use “men’s” spaces all the time.

The first time I got a UTI in college the very unhelpful nurse told me to just have less frequent sex. AS IF.

Dumb people don’t get that a drunk girl can’t give consent and prior sex and being horny isn’t a green light.
