I literally said to myself "nah, there is no way there will e comments where people don't understand that tyynimeri is being funny". Of course I was wrong. Dammit, when did Jezebel readers stop having a sense of humor?

This is a Seinfeld reference. SMH, I feel old now.

I think shows like Parks and Rec aren't for everyone. Personally I enjoy it but I know plenty of people who have no interest. 30 Rock is my personal fave, but I do think HIMYM is still a quality show.

I think Ted is such a douche. He is actually the worst character IMO.

I know you're being a troll, but actually yes. Why can't we reclaim these words that have been used to degrade us?

That's what I said *almost* everyone. And don't get me wrong, I am always very happy for my friends when they get married but save the rare exception weddings are lame.

Meh. I rather like the idea of taking those words back. I think cunt can be an awesomely powerful word.

All weddings are terrible. Sorry marrieds but they are, to almost everyone who isn't the happy couple.

I think this piece was one of the nicer ones actually. I think Gwennie is sweet in a privileged, goofy way. I will admit I unabashedly and un-ironically read Goop every once in a while because it can be entertaining.

Your first paragraph here basically sums up my opinion of Gwennie. She is so douchey sometimes and definitely privileged but damn is it hard to actually dislike her. She doesn't know she sounds like a douche which almost makes her lovable. Almost.

Real feminists don't want to be pandered to and don't think women are all clear minded and men are all fools.

Am I the only person who isn't bothered by this stuff? I mean, obviously if someone's phone is going nuts the entire time it's gonna be annoying, but I am not bothered by a random noise or two coming from someone's phone. And I don't ever use my phone in the theatre. Hell, I usually leave mine in the glove compartment.

I agree, though I guess to each their own. I got my almost 3 year old a couple of Spiderman toys because he loves him some Spidey but I didn't go beyond that. It's none of my business of course when my sister in law spends 2K on her 4 year old but I think it's so tacky to post 100 pictures of it on Facebook.

Well said. I was in the same boat when my oldest was little. I think it also set the tone for Christmas and that's a good thing. When I met my current partner he thought Christmas had to be a huge ordeal with dozens of gifts and he was so surprised at how low key we celebrated it.

Or you could buy a reasonable amount of gifts. There is always that option.

You sound awesome. If you lived in NYC we could totally be friends. Playdates during the week, beers on weekends, lol!

I didn't get that vibe from your comment at all. Also, I want to say, on behalf of all normal, non-douche parents out there that we don't think people who choose not to have kids are selfish in any way. Everyone has a right to do what they want with their lives and if people were more understanding of that the world

Meh, parenthood is not as bad as these articles make it sound, especially if you have a partner who is supportive. Don't get me wrong, if you want to remain child free I would fully support that decision (if I knew you of course; obviously you wouldn't care what I think since I'm a stranger, lol). My life certainly

I will definitely be buying one for my kids in February!

I think it's terrible that you are putting your son in the limelight like this. You talk about respect but you have absolutely zero of it for your son. I am all for writing about your life if it's done with respect for those involved, but you posted a photo of your son and made it very easy to figure out who he really
