It doesn't. But I don't feel that it is about misogyny in the film but how the film reflects the misogyny in the culture, which is a much bigger issue.

No you are right. I meant professional as woman holding down jobs as opposed to SAHMs or students. Women in civil service or stalled in their career.

I didn't mean to say that ALL black women in that demographic like Tyler Perry. But maybe looking at why some women in that demographic watch these films and identify with them is more helpful, you know?

Tyler Perry movies are insanely popular in the 30/40/50's black professional women demographic. And that demographic also has a much higher church attendance at protestant services than their counterparts. This review seems to tear down the values and needs and culture of that demographic. Yeah, maybe as a white,…

I don't know what group LaComtesse is part of but I find a lot of the online support groups to be an inaccurate sampling of pregnant women in your gestational time period. Online, I find, there are a lot of women who have medical complications like GD or have more high risk pregnancies and go online to find support,…

It seems to me that Jim Carrey is struggling with some sort of mental illness so I feel this was less about advocating for gun control and more about a man with mental illness being triggered.

I really don't know third-wave feminists keep pushing acceptance for hooking-up. I do however think it is different hooking up with a friend in your friend group or a coworker you know well where you have evidence on their character.. but a stranger? Just from a public health standpoint, it isn't a good idea. Condoms…

That seems mean spirited. No matter who the person, I don't wish an unwanted pregnancy on anyone.

I don't get the judgement on how people want to spend their money and or the fact that proposals are often very meaningful for both partners. Some do wait their whole lives to be proposed to because it means they have found their life partner. My husband and I came to a common agreement about getting married and then…

She had cancer during that time, no? Not that it is an excuse but with her son's death, her husband's cheating and painful breast cancer... I am more than willing to give her a pass.

Poor Elizabeth Edwards. She was given a pretty difficult deck of cards in life and she handled it with a lot of grace. If I were Cate, I'd be furious at my father. But it seems she has made some peace with it so good for her.

Can you get a hotel near the hospital so you are able to pop in if need be?

Most of the military is not single-sex. Only certain jobs are excluded for women. And it greater varies between service to service. Air Force and Coast Guard, for example, are almost all mixed-sex. And in the Navy, women are going to be allowed on submarines soon. I think the bigger issue is that the military is…

Not only costs but access. Often for good, accredited childcare programs there are 2-3 year waits. And then if you child is slightly sick or extra fussy or it is a holiday you don't have off, you are stuck with no childcare. I have numerous married friends who are waiting to have kids because childcare and commuting…

Depends on where you live. I looked into childcare costs for a 8 week old near where I was offered a job in downtown DC and it ran from 1500-2000 a month. Then the cost of commuting (we would have had to get another car) and expenses with working. I was offered a 45,000 dollar a year job. After everything, I would be…

Some of the comments and commenters on this article perpetuate this idea that being a feminist means having a professional job and having higher-education. Not all women are educated. Not all women hold down office type jobs with paid leave and a career path. Some women make choice in their lives like staying at home…

Ugh. Such a generalization. Not everyone in the working world is putting in 60-80 hours of week of hard physical or mental labor either. Some people have comfortable desk jobs and normal work schedules with paid leave and a low stress level. Some people who stay at home perhaps might have it "easier" but many others…

Poor Kim. She really has the body type that fills out during pregnancy and all the public attention on it probably doesn't help. Horrible body snarking.

I wouldn't say that is quite assault but it is straddling an uncomfortable grey area.

I have had PTSD in the past and am currently pregnant. I was put back on celexa during my pregnancy because I am in a window in my pregnancy where they feel it is pretty safe. They just worry about antidepressant use prior to 20 weeks, more specifically before the second trimester due to increased risk of birth…
