Thats the world we live in now :(

Nobody said that. But being in a relationship with another human being means that sometimes you care about their feelings and talk through major life decisions. Give your partner time to get used to the idea so that you’re not torching your relationship. It’s called “change management”, there’s research on it and…

I agree with you, rslwn. He has every right to do whatever he wants with his body. That is not up for debate. In general, whether man or woman, their body, their choice.

If you’re in a happy and well-functioning marriage, it’s nice to give your beloved partner more than two days of notice that you’re shutting down childbearing activities permanently.

I’ve mentioned her before, but one of my wife’s 3 living relatives is a retired nun. She lives in an assisted living facility in New Jersey now, and she is absolutely LIVID about all this birth control nonsense. Like, she acknowledges that it’s a component of the Catholic faith, but cannot figure out “What gives a…

Here you go.

I completely understand that. I have this weird thing where I can’t fantasize about celebrities I’m into if they’re either married or in a relationship. It just feels wrong. Adam Scott and Dave Franco have very narrowly escaped some filthy corners of my mind.

Married dude here: If my wife said, “hey I’m leaving you for Captain America,” I'd completely understand. It would suck, but I couldn't blame her.

I was very very into Jenny and Chris until it started to look like she left her husband for him and now I don’t feel so good about it. It just doesn’t feel fair. You already have a husband. You don’t get to upgrade mid-marriage to Captain America.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: we have more reason, statistically speaking, to fear conservative men in bathrooms than trans men and women. Between Larry Craig, Dennis Hastert in the locker room, among others, republican men get up to much seedier shit in a restroom than trans people.

I know a lot of former Ron Paul supporters who jumped to Bernie’s ship and now are headed for Trump. There’s a certain subset of young white men who are disaffected and want change (but can’t really articulate what that exactly means for them) and there are lots of them who flock to Reddit. I’m sure if you asked them…

They’ll need one of those miniature bibles to (God forbid) swear him in.

I just wish I could hug you right now-and I’m not really a “hugger” in general! I try to focus on how lucky I am to have such an amazing dad and all the love we have. But it gets hard. I understand the denial too. I still have moments of denial-but then it hits you like a ton of bricks. Damn, I wish you peace and…

My dad was diagnosed about a year ago. I hope you have a strong support group. It's very hard and sad. I'm so sorry. There really are no words or advice

My dad has Alzheimer’s. It is truly devastating. The amount of pain and fear it brings to a family is incredible. It’s destroying my mother. I wake up each morning thinking about him and I’m constantly sick with fear and worry. I love my dad so much. He still knows who I am and where he is/who is..... But that can…

I feel you, but this seems like a “don’t make fun of Ann Coulter because she’s a woman, make fun of her because she’s a pathetic excuse for a human being” kind of thing. It’s not about protecting Reagan so much as guarding against hypocrisy. Like, I’m all about a movie making fun of Reagan for non-Alzheimer’s reasons.

As someone whose grandparents both suffered from dementia, I certainly don’t think it’s a laughing matter (but hey, different strokes for different folks), but I find it even worse that Ferrell would use a real historical figure for this, particularly one whose immediate family is still alive. It just seems incredibly…

It’s weirdly meta to lavish praise on him for an interview where he talks about how it’s messed up that high-profile white dudes get praise lavished on them for saying feminist stuff.

I do absolutely get the “it’s easier for a man to be a feminist” thing. Every now and then a troll will presume I’m a woman and I’ll get a fraction of the gendered harassment that women on this site get, and it’s such a heartbreakingly personal reminder of how I, as an ally, can't truly understand the psychic toll of…

I ate a Gracias Madre on Wednesday for the first time and it was quite delicious!
