The bullying comparison is perfect because it really IS bullying. Bullying disguised as b.s. compliments.

Seriously. My husband does a ton of household and childcare stuff, way more than most. But there are only so many times I can tell him I need him to stay home with a sick toddler because I can't skip my job that literally pays 1/20th of what his does.

The point of this study is that regardless of the intentions of both parties to have an equitable marriage, current social pressures make it untenable for most. It is near impossible to have a partnership where both careers are allowed to take precedent. In our current society where men will be promoted more readily,…

You and your future husband better included both your bosses in this conversation. Because as soon as you become a mother, you're employer is going to view you as less competent, less raise-worthy. While being a father actually helps men to appear more competent. And once the wage gap really sets in, it's going to be…

Not only that, but in a lot of ways The System is skewed in a way that sets families up to prefer mother-centric parenting. Paternity leave is almost unheard-of in the US, and even where it exists the amount of allotted time is usually much smaller than that allowed for the mother (even given that she may need more…

I agree in theory. But I don't think it's possible to "avoid all these problems" by having a pre-kid conversation. All you can avoid by doing that is going into a situation without differing opinions. The reality of having kids and how it changes your relationship, the earning situation and how each person feels about…

The one wild thing she could do to shock me would be to go to college and obtain a liberal arts degree. I'm serious.

I think anytime when one spouse earns more than then other, this shit is always going to end up happening. The one spouse can always be like, "But look what I do for the family!" And who can argue with that? I mean, it takes a lot of self-esteem and tenacity to tell you partner, "I don't give a shit if you went a…

...but did you guys talk about it? Surely, this could all have been avoided.

I think you missed the part where the outside world and systematic sexism overrule your ideals & personal agreements.

Theoretically that's lovely, but all of my son's grandparents are in their early 60s, have very active, engaging careers, and need to continue to work to pay the bills. If they were old enough to be retired, they'd be too old to run around after a toddler, and I'd be too old to give birth to the kid anyway.

I think this would improve a lot of things, for sure. But I know many people don't live near their parental units, and in both my case AND my husband's case, do not have good relationships with them because of, well...neglect/abuse. I often get a bit afraid when I think of us spawning, because we have a blood relative…

I am a male in my mid 60s, was drafted in one of the last drafts and did one combat tour of Vietnam. I have been a bar bouncer, a bail bondsman and a personal executive bodyguard. I never attended college, but I do know something about sexual assault. My two sisters and I were in a total of five orphanages between…

I'm so proud of this kid I don't even know. I wish more parents raised their sons to be like him.

I think every victim/survivor needs to make the personal choice when they have all the facts and have though about what the consequences of reporting may be: is the perpetrator well-known where they live? Are they (the victim) planning to continue living there? Do they care about their reputation?

My own issue with not…

The shade was so strong from Anna Wintour and Nancy Pelosi, that I felt it. Like a freaking solar eclipse.

Isn't Nancy also throwing shade at the fact that republicans are notoriously against social welfare programs? That whole next level of shade is down right shudder worthy!

I don't want to murder him. I want to terrify him. I want him to know that I'm watching. That I could hurt him. That I will. That I have. I want him afraid to go out and jumping at every text and feeling like the whole world hates him. I want him to feel the way he made those girls feel, and I want him to feel it…

Yes, thank you to that kid for being a friend and ally to Grace, and showing that teenage boys ARE capable of being caring human beings.
