Good for you! Do whatchoo want.

I had a friend who wore two pads and a heavy tampon, and had to change them every 2 hours. You have my sympathy. I'm lucky I only have one heavy day.

Yeah, I don't get the outrage. Your kids are brats, so you're trying to emphasize community building over materialism. Oh no ...

Your answer is exactly the problem I'm having. I asked an honest, sincere question. Your reaction was to insult me, while giving a thoughtful response. However, another person had a completely different answer and encouraged the question and gave an equally thoughtful response. Two different people, two highly…

Your essay makes me uncomfortable. I honestly don't know how to help or be an ally. I work with kids in the family court system, either through abuse/neglect or juvenile delinquency/incorrigability. I want to fight for these kids, the majority of whom are POC. How do we do that without becoming a "good white person"?…

I'm sure they could, but excuse me for not being terribly concerned for a bunch of frat boys as much as I am all the people who experience sexual assault on campus. One of those just doesn't hold as much weight for me as the other.

I had my second son via birth tub at a freestanding birth center. It was 100% pure, unadulterated awesome sauce. Apart from the bone-grinding pain.

You don't have to be the one to figure all that stuff out. You don't owe her anything. Do what you want to do, not what you feel like you're supposed to do.

I think there's a lot going on in the piece that really ignores the ways in which these fantasies are located in the context of a giant capitalist industry that tells you your wedding day is the most important day of your life. I think we should resist that, question why we are marketted certain ideas about how a…

My thinking exactly. There's nothing wrong with people having fantasies or hobbies, but I do think there's something wrong if that involves planning out an important part of some yet-to-be-known person's life.

I know several people who created the "one day" type boards on Pinterest who were single. It's just weird. Especially when they pin engagement rings.

I never had kids, but I finally, at 45-ish, decided to stop having relationships with men, and my life has been pretty blissful ever since. I know there are great, supportive, smart men out there, but I was never able to find one who wasn't more trouble than he was worth. There were emotional issues. There was…

There will be more studies like this about high-powered/promising women, one of which I'm part of, and they'll implicate husbands and the usual suspects in business, though perhaps more forcibly than before.

My husband tried to pull this shit on me after talking a long bullshit 50/50 child/home-work line, and for the…

Nooooooo.... shhhhhh baby. Have some Newman. Take a load off.

Because grief comes in waves, and on a weird timeline. I don't think not having cried yet is at all strange.

I guess because it is such a high profile marriage, I'd wish Amal would have kept her name. It might encourage other women to choose to retain the autonomy of their own name..... But like I said - and as you are pointing out - to each their own and decide as suits you. Yes, that is what feminism is all about!

Did Amal take her husband's name?

i don't understand why so many feminists give so many shits about this damned ceremony. why? why? so expensive and time consuming. white dress and a big party? this is my jam: court>papers signed>backyard bbq byob potlock situation with VIPS>have sex if you feel like it, no pressure.

Sometimes it is an easy decision. Sometimes there are no emotions involved at all. I feel for women that struggle with it.
