at 7, this is normal body curiosity. It's a big sign to mom and dad they need to sit down with her and show her what a vagina looks like and it's purpose. It's a sign they need to be taught about boundaries and appropriate touching. She did not victimize the kid, there was no molestation. This act involved two very…

And at some point, throwing money at the person is enabling and hurts more than it helps. I had to cut off a relative for similar reasons and I still worry about him often but at some point you just have to stop. And what people don't realize is it's never just money, either. People who are that far in the depths of…

Yup. I doubt it has anything to do with the money, for her. You reach a point where you just can't be involved any more for your own mental health. So you tell them to get in touch when they're ready to get well and then you hope that day comes eventually — even knowing there's a good chance it won't.

Agreed. I hate that I have to defend Madonna, but there is really only so much she can do in this situation. It doesn't sound like he's just down on his luck, these seem like much bigger issues that you can't just throw money at.

I am by no means Madonna's biggest fan (or really a fan at all), but I think anyone who has ever had a relationship with an addict (family or otherwise) knows that there's a point when you have to step back and wash your hands of the situation - especially if they aren't ready to get sober. There's only so far you can…

I hate to white knight Madge, but, having been through a similar situation, sometimes you just have to stop trying to fix someone's life. That doesn't mean you stop caring.

This is kind of a matter of questionable parenting choices to me. There's nothing inherently wrong with the dancing or video or costumes, but the mature tone means you should probably reserve this kind of thing for older teens and adults. Even the costumes don't bug me as much as the super heavy makeup. I know lots of…

And if "Look at Me" is the scariest then does that mean that humans are scarier than ghosts? I kind of think so....

My SO and I are planning to buy our first house next summer (fingers crossed!) so these haunted house stories are particularly unnerving to me. I feel like my scientist SO will never stop laughing at me if / when I ask the realtor if any of the homes were sites of grisly murders. But hey, he wants a house with a dish…

Holy. Shit. "Look at Me" was so scary I realized at the end I was sitting with my hands covering my mouth, feeling like I was about to hurl. And I'm sitting in a lit office, with my coworkers benignly chatting nearby,

Murder houses! I lived in one a few years ago. I consider myself a skeptic, but I'm not doing that again. I was too late to post this the other day but Halloween is as good as any I suppose:

Agreed. Why are we supposed to congratulate a woman who denied herself to the point that a piece of toast with butter constituted a cheat for her? A person making poor health decisions doesn't automatically get a pass because 1) she writes for this web site or 2) it was her own choice. I mean, let's talk about the…

Okay, this might be unpopular, and I understand if you ignore it. But I really dislike this post. Like, a lot.

I got married a year ago, and at the time I found there to be quite a bit of anti-wedding bias on the Jezebel editorial staff; a good deal of the wedding-related posts were mocking traditions or, worse,…

I want to believe that it's makeup, but if she was just drawing her lips on wouldn't there be less space between her lip and nose? Look at the photographic evidence:

I don't mind the *existence* of babies at brunch/bars/restaurants/movies at all, as long as a) you don't expect me to alter my adult behavior, and b) if your baby starts screaming (not crying, but that ear-piercing screaming) you get the fuck out of there and try to calm that heathen down before you rejoin society.

This is my difficulty too. I understand if people were too concerned for their jobs, etc. to speak up, but then I raise an eyebrow at the way they're all waxing eloquent about it now. I guess that fear just melted away on Sunday night. These include artists and journalists I really admired and respected, but I…

"There's a difference between telling women to consent and asking them to," wrote another. "'Consent the D' is not asking men to ask for sex and respect the women's choice, it sounds like you're just telling women to consent in a pretty aggressive way: consent the dick... Also not a very tasteful way to bring…

Is she one of the women pictured? Are we supposed to guess which?

If the volume and increasing desperation of their spam emails are any indication, the company is in deep dogshit. I've never even rented from them and I think I must get a minimum of two a day. To be honest, the only thing I've ever used them for is ideas. I've contemplated renting both dresses and accessories for…
