My biggest reason is that I was raised by a badass single dad and it was his dream to walk me down the aisle. He said he had been fantasizing about that day since I was a little girl. My mom was a drug addict, and he was my only caretaker. He means so much to me, and he walked me down the aisle to our favorite beatles…

OMG commenters, there is a point at which you have to accept that when you read an article on a WEDDING BLOG it is most likely going to be about a fairly mainstream wedding, with lots of guests and dinner and open bar and a white dress. You are not making an Important Point by coming here and saying “whatevs you don’t…

I’m a wedding vendor (a florist) and the answer is actually, kind of, #6. Every bride (yes, even the lentil brides) has a vision for her wedding, and we have no idea what that is until we talk to you. Like your example of 8 succulent boutonnieres— off the top of my head, I’d quote you $45/each. But if I told you that…

"A Jezebel Commenter Was Given a Sub-Site, and You Won't Believe What Happened Next!"

thank you for your well-thought-out and grammatically correct comment! i was definitely speaking literally and, quite honestly, had no idea that any structure aside from national monuments and the white house existed in DC. i was pretty sure people slept in pits in the ground. however, i have been enlightened and am…

Re: the use of "urban"

Not all domestic abuse is someone obviously attempting to murder you. A lot of it is far more innocent on the surface and easy for outsiders to ignore, and it shouldn't take something this extreme and calculated to "count" as domestic abuse. I think that is what Mark meant.

This makes perfect sense because statistically men are far more likely than women to take on primary carer roles in the home and so their requests for flexible working hours are more likely to be genuine while women are probably just going to use the time day-drinking and filling themselves up with tampons.

There are reasons why white gun's rights activists can walk into a Chipotle restaurant with assault rifles and be seen as gauche nuisances while unarmed black men are killed for reaching for their wallets or cell phones, or carrying children's toys. Guns aren't for black people, either.

Prior to Kinja, I headed the trollpatrol team for Jezebel, as many people here know. We dealt with rape gifs, violent pornography, racism, and harassment regularly, but there was a system in place with which to have it reported and dealt with. Banning didn't usually result in the same person immediately making a new…

I imagine the orgasm like a whale sound.

Cool, I'll partake. This isn't "PIV" so I don't know if it counts.

How i picture myself in cardigans:

I wonder what the population of women in women-only prisons is? I bet it's higher.

Speaking of being hip, I was incorrectly using the possessive before it was cool.

Hey, man. I went to those public schools in DC, and I'm pretty sure most of us could find India on a map. Hell, I had three classmates who were named India.

It's very easy to get lost in there. Which is why smarmy little male-privileged dudes who've never had to think about this stuff looooove the "argument". It's easy to create a false equivalency when you're just tossing embedded societal power imbalances out the window and acting like they aren't there.

Dear #NotAllMen,
