Because maybe, just maybe, the government decided you made enough money to not warrant welfare? But of course, you're a victim too though. Those damn illegals, right?

Most people weren't mad at Gwen Stefani because she wrote a "song inspired by Japanese street culture." They were mad because she literally used Asian women as accessories.

No, it wasn't bitchy. I'm not going to own something that isn't true. You can walk away from this conversation whenever you want but I'm going to keep telling the truth, even if you refuse to believe me.

Seriously, I'm stunned she gets so much shit for these articles. As a mom of two very recent humans, I have found her honest and refreshing and funny! We might have to form a defense club, because every one of Tracy's articles gets so much pushback that she might be kicked off this site.

As I said in my 2nd (?) comment, you have a problem with picking up tones that are not actually there. The "in case you don't know" was meant in a joking way, just like the complaining and sarcasm in the article are meant to be funny. Maybe you're used to people online ending every sentence with a :) or a LOL so you…

Wow. I never even mentioned the fact that you don't have kids. I just meant bitter in general. But now it actually does seem that you're bitter because of the article's topic. Good luck with that.

I'm not a (bio) mother, so I have absolutely no idea how annoying pregnancy and birth can be. This doesn't strike me as joylessness or pointless sarcasm; I read it as realism, without the side of puppies and rainbows we usually get. And I had no idea getting knocked up resulted in extra or monumental farts, so I…

I can't really speak to their other essays as I'm not that familiar with either Tracie/Tracy's work, but overall I think Jezebel has a snappy sarcasm that runs through most of the articles; This one struck me as more mild and actually affirming than negative. More yay, celebrate thine frump than boo-hiss, frumpiness…

After I had my baby 6 years ago I did feel fat and ugly. I'm fucking sexy now. Maybe you don't see it but it's your posts that are coming off as bitter.

It seems you may have a problem with picking up tones in text that are not actually there.

I didn't pick up any bitterness in the post at all. Sarcasm, yes. In case you didn't know, that's kind of Jezebel's thing. Is it "helpful"? No. Is it hilarious to read? Yes.

So, for those keeping track at home: Hobby Lobby cares deeply about protecting the unborn when it comes to denying women contraception coverage under the Affordable Care Act. Hobby Lobby does not care deeply about protecting the unborn when it comes to ensuring that mothers are capable of providing for their new…

#INeedFeminism Because just only generation ago, my grandfather cut my mother off because she decided to go to college, and education is wasted on women.

It's abysmal how we treat attractive thin white women in this country. It's nice that for once one of these attractive thin white women comes out ahead in the end. Rarely does one of these privileged individuals get such an opportunity as this.

...No one gives a shit about your boner, butters. I thought you knew that.

how about button down shirts that are sized according to bra size and waist size? For example instead of my usual large size shirt, it would be 36D / 30.

You're trying to tell us that complete strangers in city you've ever been to have specifically told you that you were setting back the women's movement by wearing skirts and working as a waitress...

As a heterosexual, married male, I must offer two responses to this article:

First, the positive: Thank you for the laugh. This was one of the most insightful, witty, cutting articles I've read in a long time—and it had me howling, until...

Second, the negative: I have realized I know far too many men—and far too many…

Out of curiosity, what amazing advances do you think we've made since 1994 that this is really rolling back?

I really hope the NLRB rules against McDonald's on this one. I've got nothing against McDonald's personally, but the franchise system for fast food restaurants is a joke - as you pointed out, the parent corporations control everything. In fact, they pretty much control everything except the costs of labor, which is…
