This better come down to “Long Summer Vacations” v “Short Summer Vacations w/booze”

I’m with you. Besides, I can vouch that baby fever is real, it hit me like a ton of bricks when I was in my mid-thirties. From never, ever, ever, ever wanting kids, I felt a deep need to have a child and be a parent. I have a kid now, and he’s the centre of my world. If someone snarks on the joys motherhood brings…

I was 30 when my first was born and 35 for my second. The difference was dramatic. I had difficulty conceiving my second and suffered a miscarriage. There is higher risk of complications for mother and baby as you age, as well. I absolutely understand her feelings here. Especially if there reproductive issues in her…

Agreed. Being able to buy what I want as an adult beats out seeing my parents’ financial stress over raising four kids on a very limited budget.

Everything Is Free will win. How can anything left beat that?

As a REAL housewife it always annoyed me that she put shit in the fridge that everyone knows you’re not supposed to put in the damn fridge!

You know, growing up we were warned against marrying people who were cheaters, alcoholics/addicts, domestic abusers, etc. But another vice which can have profound effects on a marriage is LAZINESS. Having a home, maintaining a marriage, and raising kids is a lot of necessary and tedious work. If your partner is…

Because a lot of dudes literally don’t see or understand the full scope of the work as a result of socialization. Women see the unequal distribution of household labor because they’re the ones doing the work. It’s like how white people don’t see white privilege because they’re the ones with the privilege. People of…

LMAO wait ‘till I get started, I have a couple really good stories. Here’s another good one:

I love how they may have accidentally or purposefully recreated the uhhhh feeling when the beast turns into a human. Still hotter as the beast forever and always.

I still think the best name I’ve come across is the Republican Insurance Plan (RIP).

And also that it was cured by vitamins she just happens to have a financial interest in the sales of. That should bother everyone.

That Lo story has all sorts of crazy lines in it. My favorite:

What better example than Cheeto Benito summoning moral outrage over the “very sacred election process” being undermined!

Gaga should do a “Telephone” performance with Beyoncé Skyping in from some insanely elaborate master bed setup.

You ask this with a surprised tone. The answer is yes. He really does think all black people know each other. Also, they all look alike to him, too.

Basically there are two camps. Black women who love the performance and understand the depth and white “feminists” who are basically calling her uppity. Obviously there are some legit allies who understand and Black folks who are over it so I know I’m being reductive but that’s just kinda how it feels reading all the…

An important thing to remember: the “altar of motherhood” in American culture has never included black motherhood. Black mothers have been vilely denigrated by our culture. This is what it looks like when we elevate black motherhood to the same level as white motherhood.

I wonder about toxic jealousy. I think it’s easy to internalize the values of the oppressor and want to pull down the women who seem to (at least in our minds) undeservedly have more. This can be an intersection of both our internalized racism and sexism. I think it’s time for us to celebrate who we are as women, our…

You clearly don’t understand that freely procreating and celebrating and keeping your family together is a privilege that is new for black folks in America.
