I have friends that use ‘folx’ instead of folks, which makes zero sense to me because folks is already non-gendered, the ‘x’ is not necessary.

You know, it’s possible to acknowledge that a thing may not be right for everyone, but isn’t a bad thing in and of itself. I feel like weddings and associated topics get shit on like this on Jez a LOT, and it bugs me. No one should feel obligated to buy a ring, and no one’s relationship is invalid without one, but my…

“Let god plan parenthood”? I’m trying to get pregnant through ivf and follow various ivf hashtags on instagram. SO MANY of the americans thank god when their ivf is successful. Some try to be cute and say it was a little bit of science and a lot of prayer that got them pregnant. Seriously?!? Ivf is the most unnatural…

I am also a large dicked man who is losing my patience with these big-labia-ed feminists trying to act like men. Stay in your lane, feminists! Hrrumph

This has to be a dude

Congratulations on leaving what is easily the most deranged comment I’ve ever received in my year of working at Jezebel lol. 

A) Beige? Really? Everybody knows black is the go-to color, and sometimes red, but then you’re getting into latex territory with colors.

I have been iced out of my family for telling the truth about the abuse that happened in my childhood. Everyone has branded me the liar/troublemaker/disturbed one. I can’t tell you how painful it is. I totally understand the desire to recant to get back the relationships. There is no money or fame in my family. But…

Especially when gaslighting is involved. If people you love and trust keep telling you that your memories are wrong, again and again. Well, after a while, you start to believe them. When you are beat down (metaphorically or physically) it is increasingly easy to believe that you are the problem.

Yeah, what will all the other 70 year olds showing off their hot untattooed bods think him? The horror.

Not only that, but time has a a way of shaping our memories, particularly if we’ve suffered trauma, or mental illness, or drug abuse, or all three. I have no trouble believing that she suffered abuse at the hands of Joseph Jackson, and exaggerated those memories as she was abused by Jack Gordon, and came to believe…

It’s also incredibly challenging to translate suicidal ideations to suicide risk.

I literally came here to write the same comment!!! (I was also raised Catholic, even.) It’s the only valid Bible.

Well nothing up to this point in the Presiduncy of 45 has made a damn bit of sense, so why start now?  Might as well cancel school funding while we’re at it!  Maybe we can require Churches to pay taxes to make up the difference.

The president seems skilled at only doing shitty things. Ever.

Pregnancy is a potential consequence of sex. If a man isn’t prepared to accept that his sexual partner may choose an abortion, he shouldn’t have sex.

As a mom who regularly weathers winters by taking my kids to the free playground at my local mall, I definitely mourn their end. As a poor person who can never afford to but much more than a soft pretzel there, I acknowledge I haven’t done much to keep them open.

Good for you! And I highly recommend Harriet Brown’s book Shadow Daughter about estrangement. (And not just because I’m “Sharon” on page either 65 or 67 but also because it’s really good and validating.)

Because it rains sometimes.

I guess I got lucky in that I was diagnosed fairly quickly after my first real flare up about 15 years ago, but I was so afraid to take meds for it that I just decided not to. Whether or not that was smart, I don’t know, but I’ve had only one more flare up since then -a few months after the first. I’m 51 now, so I…
