I was legit hysterical during my ceremony, not because I didn't want to get married, but because it was scary to be saying the words and knowing "this is a real thing that I am doing right now". I am very happily married.

well, if the point of both people hyphenating is so that there exists one family name, that doesn't work...at all. There are no official naming rules in the US, although there are in some other countries.

Good on you for saying this. Those comments were bumming me out because it's really classist. I grew up in a small town, and there are not a lot of bars there...nor at the next small town....and the small city's nearby is like, an hour away. There are a million reasons to end up at a dive, and sometimes it's just…

I dunno man, but bridesmaids. I was maid of honor for my sister's wedding, and some of the other bridesmaids were just fucking ridiculous humans, although they are her good friends and perfectly nice girls. One girl didn't get her bodice altered, no doesn't wear bras, so it was a bit gaping, but the cut prevented it…

I totally get you on the "wide chest makes me look fat in photos" issue, except I have the lady version of this problem. I'm really pretty slim, although curvy, and my boobs (big) (like, really, definitely a lot bigger than average) put so much weight on my frame when you can't see my whole body. Really good bras…

One of my students found a picture in a magazine, and it's of a woman from a different country who is in my field. "Mrs. Dforce! You're in this magazine!" That picture is STRIKINGLY similar looking to other pictures of me, and it is strange to look at it and not say "yes, that looks like me," but rather "yes, that…

Ugh, my local school district did the same shit, except my hometown is full of d-bags of the highest caliber. For example, the elementary schools didn't have cafeterias and as a result no hot lunches. They tried to get a central kitchen passed for ages so that they could at least transport the hot meals to the…

Mine doesn't like to talk when he's mad, for...reasons. He has reasons, although I have a hard time connecting with those reasons. The problem is that I can tell he's mad, so it just hangs over me. We're working on it.

What kind of search must one do to get a picture of Romanian chips for an article like this?

"Mother of god" is my go-to, personally. Multi-function quote.

Sorry to break it to you, but all R-rated movies on planes are edited. I know, because I always get excited until I realize they're edited, and then have to sift through to find one that is PG-13.

Good luck! I am so happy to have no extra hormones fucking me up, especially since my IUD periods finally settled down.

It's this really weird phenomenon in the states, where people seemed way more concerned about getting pregnant than getting an STD. I don't get it, and I support your plan...although they should be doing that in the first place, to both boys and girls. Stupid sex ed prudes >:(

Yeah, I feel like I had the same idea...maybe it's because they were only discussed in relation to women who are already mothers? They've also been around a long time, but with problems in the earlier iterations, so I feel like it was something that my mom mentioned as being bad, so I assumed it was also old. Or…

Counterpoint: my husband never wraps anything that comes in plastic to begin with. We also live in a place where they don't really make like, re sealable cheese packages. He'll just open the ham or cheese, use what he needs, and throw it back in the fridge. It's in the plastic, but in a very ineffective manner. It's…

You know, just holding true to the old fashioned definition of "gentlemanly behavior," as one does. Nothing to see here...

It doesn't look weird to me, but I think kinja was eating all the comments for the article when it was first posted (including my original comment). It also malfunctioned in some way where it said I had approximately 350 notifications, but really I only had one new notification. I dunno, man! Hopefully it's fixed :)

What the shit, kinja? Something weird is going on with this article :(

Dear Mr. Casselberry,

Like, are you for real? You just discounted the experience of a woman ON AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE EXPERIENCES AND OPINIONS AND EMOTIONS OF WOMEN BEING DISMISSED. Seriously?
