For jezzies who are going, one of us (formerly known as Tampa BeeAtch) set up a meetup group so we can coordinate and find one another. Here it is: https://www.meetup.com/JEZZIEs-March-on-Washington-Meetup/

Meanwhile, adults tend to impose more rules on daughters than sons, leading to greater conflict. “Girls are the ones who have curfews, who are yelled at for going out,” said Chesney-Lind. “There’s a double standard.”

I hope that he is now your ex husband?

One thing this article doesn’t touch on but has been reported as well (my mother has actually had this happen to her):

I know some Mormons. While a lot of them do not like Trump, it’s also a religion that places value in deference and respect of authority. They might not like Trump, but they accept him as President. At least among those I know, they also tend to have an unflappable optimism, so a lot of them are still kind of hoping…

You are not alone in being befuddled at the unflattering outfits. But someone pointed out to me that it’s hard to find low-cost outfits to fit women of all shapes and sizes that will also not draw too much attention to any one of them. They’re frumpy, but that just means we can focus on the singing!!

Have you tried Adventures in Depression by Allie Brosh (Hyperbole and a Half)? I’ve never read an account of depression that felt so accurate to me. Never.

My worst nightmare is being the sort of women whose bloated husband visits one of these places on the reg. And not even being allowed to get annoyed when he wastes hundreds of dollars tipping some 18-yr old he clearly wants to bone. Just supposed to pretend like nothing bothers me.

Of course there’s a difference between a luxurious “period spa”—where women could come and go at will and be fed well—and the culturally enforced chhaupadi that don’t look big enough to stand in.

As an Australian I can tell you that we don’t call them “widow makers” for nothing.

eucalyptus trees are dangerous assholes and not even supposed to be in california. seriously.

Matthew 21:12, from the Star Wars illustrated Bible.

Learning this does nothing to make me doubt stereotypes about West Virginia.

Can we start a Change.org petition for Jason Bateman to quit making crappy “comedy” films and go back to playing Michael Bluth full-time?

This isn’t really in response to you, but I don’t want to reply to the people who are actually saying this shit, and your comment is tangentially related:

THE COURT: I hope you don’t live too long, Ms. Mograbee.

Maeby I’ll watch this!

I actually think it’s too late here for a “him or me” moment here. There was one of those. She broke up with LDBF shortly after H&C said something to her. Great! Then, for some ridiculous reason, he counseled her to make up with him. Now we’re a year past that point.
