Exactly! It’s culture NOT religion. If it was religion, why wouldn’t Turkey be a backwards place with public beheadings and women being stoned to death for “adultery” (what they call rape) like Saudi Arabia? If it were religion, why am I, as a Western atheist woman, not forced to wear a hijab in public when around…

I live in a Muslim country in SE Asia, where it is hot every single day of the year. There are women wearing next to nothing - local women, not just Western women. They walk next to women wearing traditional dress, hijabs, niqabs, abayas... you see women wearing everything here, from bikinis to burqas, and nothing is…

I can’t believe how disgusting people can be.

Exactly. If everyone was forced to dress with others feelings in mind, no one would be allowed to wear yoga pants when doing non-athletic activities in my presence.

It’s a very particular English accent that is considered intelligent sounding. Go to certain parts of Liverpool and you won’t even know they’re speaking English.

I don’t know why, but I’m picturing Ashley (blonde, slightly crazy one) from Chris’ season of The Bachelor being the no fucks-giving woman.

They’re both beautiful, filthy rich, she’s the most famous supermodel in the world, and he’s the quarterback for the Patriots. They’re just asking to get a ton of shit (not that I agree with it, but if anyone is going to get a ton of shit from judgemental asshats, it’s them).

It’s a possibility. She did come off as a total bitch, but I thought it was probably just an issue with her wording. If she had said it in a slightly different way - something like, “”He’s not my child, but I love him and will care for him like he’s my own” - it would have been a totally normal, kind thing a…

She got shit because she said something along the lines of “That is MY child”, and a lot of people were like, “No, it isn’t”, including his mother. I think she just misspeaks, though, and wasn’t claiming ownership of her husband’s child.

The US system really shits on everyone - parents, children and childcare workers. You get 3 months of unpaid leave with your newborn if you’re lucky, then you pay nearly your entire salary to daycare, are forced to pump milk in the janitor’s closet, have everyone judge you if you take your child out in public and they…

I was so happy Ashley won. I just hope retailers see her collection and realise that women who aren’t size 0-12 want to dress in fashionable clothing and FINALLY make an effort with plus size lines. Target made an attempt, and some pieces were good, but they still had some really boring, muumuu looking shit. I was…

Not sure how your story of an extremely disturbed man harassing you in any way relates to me being annoyed by a girl I went to college with, and was friendly with at the time, putting up annoying “mommy” shit on Facebook, but okay...

She did get the Oscar! I thought she did a great job for those who don’t know anything about June Carter Cash, but if it was supposed to be a realistic portrayal, she was absolutely rubbish. She was too cute. I don’t like her, though.

I don’t know what my issue is, but there’s a girl I went to college with who I want to punch in the face on a regular basis. She’s a mommy blogger (puke, right?) and puts up about a thousand photos of her kids on Facebook every day. She’s the biggest bragger about her “perfect” life and her disgusting “I love my…

I hated being pregnant, but there are some nice things about it. I loved having a belly (before it got horribly uncomfortable) and feeling little kicks (before they became monster kicks). The problem is, you only remember the nice things and not the things that happen far more often than the nice things... the…

She should be grateful she has a job, considering the current state of the economy! For Christ’s sake, there are people out there without jobs, who send out hundreds of resumes only to be turned down time and time again, and here she is, lucky enough to have a job, and she complains?!?! :)

I had a friend tell me that she’s only been told twice in her life that pregnancy sucks - by me and another friend. She’s in her 30’s and has many friends with kids, and she had no clue how miserable pregnancy is. I think it’s good to talk about it, because thinking it’s a horrible experience may make some women feel…

No, hormones work against you and you’ll be all like, “That wasn’t so bad!”, just a few hours later. By the time your “I need a second baby” hormones kick in, pregnancy and labour will be all sunshine and rainbows. You’ll remember it was bad, but not have any real memories of that badness to prevent you from doing it…

Congratulations!
