That’s the thing about a policy like this in a culture that values males over females (and I don’t mean to single out the Chinese in that regard, because it’s a worldwide phenomenon). It’s not sustainable.

Sure, why wouldn’t she try to steal the shine, as you put it, from the guys she’s beating pretty handily?

How did all of this dust get in my eyes?

Aren’t the people most inclined to go see this women in their early to mid-30’s? Why on earth would they go see this? If they don’t have kids, they probably have better things to do, and if they do have kids, they are probably too young to see the movie.

While I know they are entirely safe now, I will admit that to this day, whenever I hear “IUD” my head still goes to the Dalkon Shield controversies back in the 1970’s. It’s an internal bias that I can’t move past, despite appeals to my left brain by my right brain.

I read the story 3 times trying to see where the connection was to Congress. I’m just going to give the benefit of the doubt here that it was a Freudian slip of sorts, and not that someone who is covering politics for Jezebel doesn’t know that state legislators are not called congressmen.

Yep. Until very recently there was an Applbees manager in RI feeling pretty damned good about coming in under budget.

Actually that makes me very suspicious. Their number times the law (166x3) is just so coincidentally almost the exact number of hours his family projects? So we will pay him for 355 hours when he is due over 1000?

I’m certain I had both of those fair isle sweaters, and the pink one down below to the right. And culottes. Lots and lots of culottes.

I stopped wishing I was older only at the moment I realized I wished I was younger.

After following this story for the last day, I have to say, Jezebel’s commentators are so much better informed than most other readers at other places where this story has run. It’s like a little island of sanity here among people who actually read the story, believe in science, and are educated about women’s health.

Wow, you’re good. That’s like victim squared now. Brava.

Ugh. Look, you can play the “I’m the better person and you’re just sad and lashing out on the internet” card if you want as a way of avoiding the fact that you are dead wrong. It’s kind of ironic that while dismissing the FACT that Sean Penn physically abused Madonna, you are actually playing a victim angle. Kudos on…

The photos are...really quite something.

What's the over/under on when one of these girls turns up pregnant?

“Clinton Wallops a Cranky Hobbit”

The ice bucket challenge in an of itself was kind of stupid, but it did raise a TON of money for the ALS Association, so at least it did have some kind of productive outcome. The social media campaigns that drive me nuts are the ones that are like, “post the color of your bra for breast cancer awareness!” Because, a)…

When I saw this campaign on FB, my immediate reaction was, “So...are they just counting on the idea that abusers aren’t on Facebook?” It made no sense how you could have such a public campaign about what is supposed to be a secretive signal to law enforcement. But I figured I was being cynical.

I’m a relatively frequent business traveler and didn’t know that was the law. But there it is on the DOT site - if you are involuntarily bumped they are required to compensate you by 400% or $1300 for rebooking you on a flight that gets you to your destination more than 2 hours later than your original ticket (4 hours…

The likelihood of getting breast cancer in your 20’s and 30’s is infinitely small compared to the risk of exposing yourself to radiation during a mammogram. That’s where the question of what age being discussed in the article stems from. Risk v. Reward.
