I had a really hard time discerning the ~point~ of this article. The title suggest that Improper Princesses are a problem, the conclusion just talks about how Beauty is different from the rest of them (which I don’t entirely agree with, having read a lot of IP books in my day). Is it just a literary critique and…

I almost broke an ankle once jumping out of bed and landing awkwardly on my slipper while in the rush to get to the cat.  Still managed to launch her into the bathroom on the linoleum.  

You are not a true cat owner until you are awaken from a deep sleep upon the first HAAAAAACK noise and spring into action.  

I have two cats and this just made me lose my shit for a full minute.

Are you on a bed or carpet?  Because if you are you need to be aware that someone will come rushing in and throw you onto the nearest wood/tile floor, then stand over you waiting for you to finish. 

You have to define your terms. You and I believe “good family” means “people with ethics who are willing to do the right thing, not the convenient thing and not the thing that will give them more power”.

You’re coming off very defensive here, buddy. Try decaf.

That’s a bit of a straw-person fallacy that willfully obtuse men like to throw around. Nobody is asking anybody to keep their knees clamped together, just to keep them within the confines of their own space.

I’d like to point out that at least two notorious religious cults* with serious child molestation/abuse problems routinely practiced “abolishing the nuclear family” by doing all kinds of fucked up shit to keep kids from being able to bond with their parents, often under the guise of “raising children communally”.

Exactly what sort of content are you seeking on Jezebel if you consider posts that relate the experience of women, both as individuals and more broadly, to current events pointless?  Not only is this a totally worthwhile thing to write about, it’s squarely in the site’s wheelhouse.  

Yep. People want to forgive him. He would be able to get away with doing the bare minimum, come out with some robust pro-woman policy platforms, and get through this easily. It is telling that he is still of a mindset that he doesn’t have to answer for these actions - whether that is because he is out of touch and…

Yeah... but when Splinter said all those things, what they meant was, “Bernie should get the nomination without a challenge and stuff.”

Bump!

Only tangentially related, but it’s hard to believe the layout of these sites used to be even more hideous

Hi everyone! Tonight I’m going to see The Countess and Friends cabaret show! It’s Countess Luann from the Real Housewives of New York, unsure about who the Friends are. It should be super fun, right? The online reviews are god awful, but nevertheless I will persistent and I'll report back later! Cheers!

Feminists who speak about sex work in the abstract, who have never experienced it or honestly listened to those who have, don’t understand what it entails. For the record, I’m talking about consensual adult sex workers who chose the profession. I’m not talking about trafficked people. Those are two entirely different…

Your feelings about empowerment and sex work are utterly irrelevant. So are mine, and I’m a sex worker who likes my job. We don’t criminalize jobs because they’re not empowering enough.

Interesting you should mention pot.  In both cases, the interests of the ruling class are served by having a tool to oppress a certain class of people.  Pot was used against African Americans, Latinos and war protesters.  Prostitution arrests are great at making life miserable for at-risk communities, usually women of…

Sex work should be decriminalized, so as not to punish sex workers. Sex work should be regulated, in an effort to protect sex workers. But sex work should also be understood epidemiologically and historically as an overwhelmingly female occupation because of the inherent imbalances of the sexes that the spectrum of…

Yeah, I’m on the oldest end of the millenial scale, and this kind of baffled me. I love this movie, but some millenials were barely even born when this came out. It’s really a Gen X movie
