Judging by the comments here, you all would have me drawn and quartered if I told how much I have spent on clothes, haircuts, and cosmetics this year.

Hasn't Robert Downey Jr. always been something of an arrogant prick? I've heard rumors about his shitty behavior for ages, which is why I've never bought into his "big comeback" narrative. (Plus I never thought he was that great of an actor. Never cared for the Iron Man movies, the height of his career for me was as…

To be fair, real people have asked equally dumb things on Yahoo Questions. But yeah, the entire thing just feels fake. Look at how everybody's name ends in -leigh. Or at the Halloween post.

That blog is def a parody! I will stake my name on it. It's hilarious that no one has called it being fake yet because if you poke around that blog for 10 minutes it's fairly obvious. The person writing the blog claims they were married at 13 and have two or three kids now.

Are we really sure he was saying feminism was make believe? I got the feeling he was saying that superheroes/movies are make believe. I think it is highly possible it isn't clear what he was referencing there.

I'm pretty sure that blog post about Jessa Duggar is a joke. In fact, I think that blog is just a parody blog. I could be wrong though. That community is batshit crazy...

But using that rationale to say you're "not a feminist" is letting the loudest/worst/most extreme subsets WIN. It is GIVING THEM OWNERSHIP of a word and a movement that should simply mean "women should not ever be denied rights or limited power in social, professional, economic or political spheres solely because they…

She could remove the child from the building until it calmed down. Like most parents would do. Like my parents did with me at restaurants so my tantrum would not cause other people undue distress.

Davis is excellent—no doubt about that. Otherwise the show is complete fucking garbage. I stopped watching after the third episode.

I hated that book, even as a child. My mother loved it and thought it was sweet. And when I got older I realized that one of the reasons I hated that book was that the boy/man felt entitled to take everything until there was nothing left. It's kind of an allegory for the colossal clusterfuck we've made of the…

I always thought the boy was a selfish little shit and was so sad for the tree the whole time...and this is very much my idea of motherhood (at least what it could be depending on a number of factors that affect child needs/behavior)...so at least now I can tell my mom this is probably why I don't want kids, not…

Eh, for me the dislike was always the refrain of "the tree was happy," (if I'm remember right.) I was of the "cripes, stick up for yourself, tree," perspective. It wasn't that it was a sad story, it was that it felt like the author wanted the tree to be a role model. Kids, don't be like that tree.

The book doesn't seem to be against the boy, though—-he takes it all, and then has a comfy seat when he's old.

I think you and Silverstein actually see this story through the same lens. It's not telling us to be like the tree, it's telling us not to be like the shitweasel who stole all her stuff.

I like much of Silverstein's poetry—but The Giving Tree incites a rage stroke.

62 isn't almost dead.

Maybe if Jezebel and similar ladyblogs focused on substantive issues more often, rather than the size of Taylor Swift's ass and "shade court," more young people would be compelled to vote.

The new US Senate is 80% male and 94% white, with an average age of 62.
