I mean, what’s she supposed to say “I hate all the violence against women on this show. Its as manipulative and abusive as the boltons. Now please renew my contract and continue to make me a main character.”

I critiqued Marc Maron’s interviewing style on a message board I didn’t know he read. This was during the first year or so of WTF and it seemed to me like every time his guest was a woman or some kind of ethnic/sexual minority, he’d focus so squarely on that aspect of them and ignore everything else. He wasn’t being a…

Thanks for bringing this up. 10% of marriages worldwide are between first cousins. My aunt married her first cousin (her daughter is my first and second cousin). My great grandparents were cousins. More than one president has married his cousin. Cousin marriage is far more common among people from some parts of the…

Oh how funny, we considered Gretna Green! We got married in Edinburgh instead. But yes, it was terribly romantic, but if our family situations had been different we definitely would’ve had a traditional wedding. Parties with everyone you know and love = amazing! :)

OMG I know one of those Budget Bridezillas, too. Oi, the Facebook posts from this woman:

Not great, but as good as can be expected. I didn’t realize how long the delay between death and a funeral is - my family always goes straight to a funeral without a viewing, well before the cremation, so it’s usually about three days. It sucks for everyone, because they’re all stuck in limbo until it’s all finished.…

I am so glad you said this. The title was so appalling that I assumed that the article would be making fun of the idea that women who do anything except The Thing You Think is Appropriate are self-indulgent pharaohs. I was worried I would have to sail into the comments with my sword drawn.

If there were an epidemic of people throwing random women on a panel to avoid bad PR, wouldn’t we see women on panels? Since this almost never happens I think your dismay about token women is probably misplaced. Typically women have to have twice the qualifications to even be considered.

A good friend of mine just got engaged, and I’m urging her to hire a wedding planner because she has a FUCKED UP relationship with her family, with all kinds of weird dynamics and history. She’s already dreading so much of the planning process. A buffer between her and her family, not just in terms of managing…

My daughter is getting married this year. It’s entirely DIY...because she and her fiance are low-key people and both artists, as are many of their friends. There are amazing, very accomplished cooks/chefs on both sides of the family. The venue is family owned and original music and professional quality photography…

I had an el cheapo wedding because poor and not interested but if we had wanted a big wedding for sure I would hire a wedding planner because that makes sound sense. I just wish they had wedding planners that make all the decisions-here’s your budget, guest list we want good food and good time I couldn’t care less…

So true! My husband and I were elopers, but that was mostly because we have teeny tiny families, some of whom cannot be trusted to be around alcohol or in the same room together, haha. I have been to TONS of giant weddings, some with (much appreciated) wedding planners and they have been a BLAST. And just as romantic…

ALL THE YESSSSSSSES FOR THIS COMMENT.

Speaking as a professional wedding vendor, this is super true. The bridezillas aren’t always the people who buy and hire all the bells and whistles, and the people who are doing the DIY “it’s all about love” route aren’t always amazing to work with(or be married to)... Assholes gonna be assholes no matter what their…

It is VERY helpful to have someone run interference with the caterer, musician, your MIL—otherwise you have 10 people tugging on your sleeve at once. It's not about being Carrie Bradshaw unless you want it to be

We don’t in a culture that generally blames murder victims for their own victimization (unless you’re a black man murdered by a cop, of course.)

Great argument. Very persuasive and original.

Love you and your Cersei sauce Madeleine but... can we have someone review Game of Thrones that actually *likes* Game of Thrones? Your reviews make me sad.

I’m not tryna body shame but holy super skinny Ramsey girlfriend batman!

No, you haven’t. Because that’s a racist urban legend.
