Gerard Butler was about a hundred times better than Russell Crowe was in this movie.

I cried about a hundred times at this movie, but I also didn't love it. I think my nostalgia buttons got mega pushed to help me deal with the crappier stuff (total lame clusterfuck shitshow that was Russell Crowe, the bungling of the Eponine subplot which was almost unforgiveable to me, the bad CGI), but it was a…

Ugh this situation is just so terrible. If she survives...she's physically and mentally fucked up for all time. She suffered so greatly and those scars will never heal. At the same time, people are resilient and perhaps she would be able to overcome. I don't know what to hope for, save for that I sincerely hope this…

Oh, let's not toss evo-psych BS in here about biology. Human beings go against biological "instinct" all the time. If we all ran around acting on our "instincts", there really wouldn't be civil society as we know it. I think having kids (or not) is the result of an existential/social crisis and is not a biological…

uh, what? "Family lines"? "Cultural potency"? Are you a member of Stormfront? I suppose the multiple millions of children born every year who don't have families are of no import to people like you. (hint: lots of them are not white!)

That would be totally valid if there were any remote danger of us dying out. Unfortunately, there are far far far too many of us. Certainly here in NYC we don't need to fret about going extinct. But thanks for validating outdated and irrelevant reasons why people can boss women around! That game is always fun.

Was 100% "no", is now ambivalent like me. It would be easier for me if he was sure! When we got together, both of us were like OH HELL NO. It's part of the reason we got together - our life vision was super similar - but over the past few years we've seen our resolve waiver for a variety of reasons, most of them…

I'm still on the fence (strongly leaning "no"), but my public face has always been no. Now that I am 1. married 2. 31 and 3. my friends are reproducing, NO ONE WILL SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT. Including the voices in my head screaming at me that my time to decide is running out (if I'm going to do it, it's going to be…

People are saying its the wrong time to "politicize" this event. When the fuck are people going to realize that gun control is not a political issue, but a public safety issue? If there was a disease that was killing people en masse, the government would be doing everything in their power to stop it.

YES OH MY GOD ITS SO HORRIBLE. I don't even have to be pooping when the good ol' sphincter decides that it wants to boogie and starts undulating and clenching uncontrollably. It makes me want to die.

I read that! That was something I definitely didn't used to have an issue with until I turned 30. Granted, I couldn't drink as much on my period as usual, but TWO drinks and I am fall-down drunk? The fuck is this shit? But thanks for the heads up. Estrogen is some bullshit.

YES. UGH. And what no one tells you when you're 13 (I was super excited to get my period, btw, until I got it and was vomiting and curled into a ball praying to die) is that your period will just up and fucking change on you for no good god damn reason. I used to enjoy killing my cramps with fire, aka whiskey, when I…

Why the fuck would you marry someone who is a pedophile? I seriously do not understand.

I have always been a big fan of Angelina. I think she puts her money where her mouth is, and that's more than I can say for...well...most people. I think she and Brad Pitt do a lot of really amazing things with their money. Of course, this all usually devolves into a TEAM ANISTON discussion even though that marriage…

SCREAMS FOREVER. That guy's face is going to HAUNT MY DREAMS. WTF. And what the fuck is wrong with his wife????

It's not just you. I have heard this from lots of people. I think WW fucked with the plan too much. They could have focused more on healthy eating and had it, you know, still work. The worst is how many points booze is now. I drank at least 1 glass of wine a night on old WW and it was totally doable. Now I have to do…

Thank you. I've had two relapses but they were short lived, mostly because anything more than 2 or 3 cigs makes me violently ill. What it did do was make me fat and socially anxious. C'est la vie. 4 years this February. It took those 4 whole years to gain about 20 pounds. Sigh.

As someone who actually wound up marrying someone I met online, I can tell you that their initial reactions to the other person might come off worse than they are. My husband and I had only been talking for a few months or so (and had exchanged real photos etc.), but despite being totally in love it was HELLA AWKWARD…

WW actually saved me from the gross, terrible eater I used to be. Even though I've put most of the weight back on (I quit smoking and turned 30), it did teach me how to eat better, control portions and work out in a structured, supportive environment. I can't hate on them. They're a diet plan where you can have a…

I hate throwing up more than anything. I cry when I puke (this is especially sad if the puke is from drinking, crying drunks are no good). I have an anxiety attack. My heart goes out to you ladies who had this and commented below. holy shit.
