Let’s be real: on this very website, with a “supposedly feminist”/progressive readership, the comments section on posts advocating for paid maternity leave (without Google as a Big Bad) always have many commenters-“supposedly feminist”,  progressive commenters-complaining about maternity leave, usually along the lines

That’s like making a hockey pun for an article about tennis.

...I know you are trying to be cute, but something deep within me needs you to know that knitters and quilters are very different people and not equate them. 

As a quilter and sewer I literally assumed this was going to be drama of someone using someone else’s fabric scissors on non fabric and I want you to know that in my head I thought war was FULLY justified just based on that.

I agree that married women get a raw deal, but not getting married at all doesn't solve the problem of entitled men. They'll just act entitled somewhere else.

As a teacher I am totally guilty of calling mom first when a kiddo is sick or got a boo boo.  It’s usually because A) Their name is at the top of their kids call list, B) I see them more often at drop off and pickup and therefore have a better relationship with them and know what to expect during the phone call, and

I’d say my husband for his part thinks he is an equal partner but he does not see the mental load at all. He also would be fine with our kids never being in an extra curricular, never going to a playdate or having a friend outside of our walls, not having gifts for birthdays/holidays, and no parties for anything, and

We’re more “productive” than ever, but we work hours as long as our parents or grandparents, and yet struggle more than they did to afford a house or any semblance of financial stability. We need another workers’ rights / trade union push, like the one that got us 8 hour days and the 5 day working week. We should be

It’s one of my favorite movies, but there’s no way Miller’s Crossing is more famous than The Usual Suspects.

Neither. It is exhausting. And in some cases, understandable. He’s a kid and those photo’s seem remote. If he’s from a small town, the exposure could help him find a mentor that can guide him into a creative career field.

These are exceptionally well done, but I still find the thirst to be on Ellen grating. I’m totally open to the idea that I’m just being a cynical asshole though.

Did you read the fucking article? It was a supermarket, not someone’s house.

Yeah, please fuck off forever. I’ve lived through catastrophic natural disasters. People need to eat and drink clean water. Christ, go jerk yourself off with Atlas Shrugged again, you wretched piece of shit.

Go directly to hell, you absolute nightmare of a person.

Charles and Gina are step-siblings on Brooklyn 99. It was his father and her mother that got married.

Am I the only one who cannot STAND her podcast? It’s like she just loves listening to herself talk. I mean, sure, isn’t that PART of hosting a podcast? But it’s just to an obnoxious degree with her. It’s a bummer because she has had on some cool guests that I want to hear more about... but I just can’t listen to her!

Honestly, when I first heard about this I thought it was a troll—-some right wing fuckers ginning up outrage to make us libtards look stupid.

Good for them.

Jesus, I hate people. Don’t kill things because you’re scared of them. This is neither cute nor funny.

I honestly don’t think it’s a tough one. Best case scenario is he lives but never has a life. These parents are selfish as fuck.
