You're going to hear snide comments when there is a premium brand that not everyone can afford. I do think their pants in particular are a better quality for serious workout regimens.

But you have a reality that doesn't work with it, and you'd have to do a lot of machinations to make it work. She's not a close enough friend to do these things without some resentment. I assure you, most right-thinking people don't want you to put yourself in a bad place in order to attend their wedding. Just let her…

You aren't required to go, and it sounds like you don't want to, so don't.

Well except for Paul Newman who is very much dead now.

They wouldn't, but I assure you - if FB ever did offer this which they will never ever do, it'd be a hell of a lot more than $5. The amount of revenue FB makes off of selling you is astounding. And yes, they aren't the only ones, just seems like they are the one people are most confounded by.

Well, for one thing, children can be immune to gender-neutrality. For another, people need to STFU about gender-specific toys generating angst and what not.

Seriously, Laura, I'm a fan. I'm sorry if I haven't shown that in tonight's responses.

I'm a fan -just trying to help. The commentariat isn't always on the poster's side. I wish you crazy blogging success.

And I'd argue that you were being shitty. So we agree to disagree.

So are you just posting for the weekday drunk and mindless?

Also-stop waiting for a pat on the head when the toilet is clean. . If it matters to you, do it. If it doesn't matter to him-why do you care? If you think the toilet should be clean, clean it. If you don't, let it rot. Why does someone else's acknowledgement of what matters to you drive you?

My point is this-does it matter to you both that things get done, OR does it matter who does what, when? Believe me, if you feel like you have to prove your work worthy now, you are sunk when children enter the picture.

It was a castoff, rote statement. As if the blog poster had zero care really about gendered toys, but it was imperative for a Jezebel piece.

So you threw the question of 'gendered' toys in there, then mentioned your Cabbage Patch dolls. Please try to stay on task-I get that it can be hard on Jez-blog on your reality or blog on the part line-don't try to straddle. Seriously, you're using these posts to gain future employment, right?

Is shitty, though, admit it. You didn't have to link to his FB page.

Oh, me too! And honestly I normally wouldn't give a shit. But damn, those little girls (had to be) were relentless and were calling for my head. I like his stuff too...I just think it's funny how the worm turns with a little bit of exposure and fame.

So how does this warrant explicitly linking to the guy's FB page with absolutely zero context?

You stop worrying about equal division of labor and tit-for-tatting and just do the shit that needs to get done. If you have a shared end-goal, and one isn't just totally shirking all responsibility, then worry about what s getting done and not who is doing it.
