"It would be a night to remember." Shudder

This review was hilarious and I owe Kelly all my Internets for introducing me to that Nic Cage freak out video. You can suck a butt.

Omg. I can't take anyone seriously who doesn't know how to start a sentence with capitalization.

You do realize that not all poor people live in housing authority communities, right? I grew up working poor and my parents were too busy working to pay rent and utilities to worry about cable. If I hadn't had Saturday morning cartoons I wouldn't have had anything. And now, as an adult, I often work with disadvantaged

This piece was funnier than any article about sweatpants has a right to be.

One of my cats is called "Sir Poofington Von Kittycat the Third" or Poof Kitty for short. He's a gentleman and a sir.

I laughed so hard at this my pelvic floor exploded.

First of all, EGR loves this lady. We all do, she's a national treasure. Second of all, don't you have a puppy to go kick or something? Maybe some rape statistics to dispute?

OMG EGR, the server was Miguela, not Nick! Tsk Tsk!

I wonder if Dutton would have been so open about it all if Stuart was younger. And I think Hsu's is very different than Duttons. Hsu seems pretty clear that she loves her child, and was just disillusioned by motherhood. Which I think is fair and something her child will be able to understand once they are actually old

I'm so sorry for your loss. I agree with you on everything you said. I think it's important to note, as others have in this thread, that the first example, Dutton, is almost 60 and her son is 33. He's an adult who can handle it, IMO, and I bet it's a huge relief for Dutton to be able to speak out and help other women

You just described my childhood. And I don't blame my mother or my father for it. Shit happens, and you do the best you can with what you got.

Dutton is almost 60-years-old, but it's cute that you think that every woman was aware that she had a choice back then. And her son is 33-years-old, not a child, so I think at this point he can handle the truth. She obviously loves him, and says as much in the original piece. But pretending that motherhood is all

"You should have worked that out before you married." Yes, because people always know exactly what they want with everything before marriage and never, EVER change their minds.

I can understand this sentiment in regards to the Daily Mail example (if that's even a real one, seeing how often The Fail makes crap entirely up) but I think it's different if what the mother is talking about is motherhood itself rather than her kid. Hell, I hate the ins and outs of motherhood. But when I see my

Yes, because no woman who didn't really want children was ever pressured into motherhood any way by society, amirite? Sometimes it's nigh impossible to fight against social convention and peer pressure. And judging from the first example given and the woman's age, I would say it was harder for her than it might be for

Ohhhh, I thought you were saying non-consensual sex was NBD for a second. *Facepalm*

"I think Americans take consensual sex way too seriously." Wut?

"the ones who claim to be the most well traveled are the least well cultured about the places they supposedly traveled to. " Yup. Traveling is great, but if all you do is stay at resorts where everyone is just like you, then all you've really done is spent a ton of time in an airplane.

What can we do to help as readers?
