Oh man those look amazing!!!

Well considering that 40% of that cost is the iPad, if you're not someone who carries your iPad or comparable electronic in your purse of course the cost is going to drop considerably. My purse has a lot of value in it - it's a cheap canvas tote bag, but my wallet is a Louis Vuitton that my parents gave me for my 18th…

OMG! You're awesome.

I am one of those annoying people who loves EVERY holiday, but I seriously love Halloween. I'm all alone for it this year, which is kind of a bummer, but it's my first year living on what is apparently a famous Halloween street in Philly. So I am going to sit outside with a glass of champagne in my special Halloween…

You don't see a difference between laughing in an uncomfortable situation and taking out your phone, taking a posed picture of yourself, and then posting it to the internet?

So beautifully said and I hope a lot of people (especially that one strange commenter who is all over this article defending these kids) take the time to read it and really think about it.

But Blurred Lines is not being sung by a character in a musical about being imprisoned for date rape. It's a pop song that's normalizing sexual violence as the natural order of things. You can't just completely take things out of context and compare the two.

Agree. I thought it was going to be about their actual crimes (trying to hire an assassin to have Snow White killed, etc.) not made up crimes. I'm disappointed too.

Ugh, that would make me feel crazy and so upset! It sounds to me like they don't actually think you are in charge of them. Perhaps your boss could help you make it more clear that you're the one in charge of this project, and that they do actually answer to you?

First of all, I'm so, so sorry. I know this must be awful, and I hope you have people supporting you through this.

Yeah, that needs to be stitched on a pillow or something.

See, this is EXACTLY what I was talking about in the Dear Prudence post. It may seem like basic safety advice you'd give anyone else in any other situation, but it isn't, because it allows dipshits like this to imply that women are somehow complicit in their victimization.

Hah! I love it. That must be a real time saver. :)

I hate that too. And (this outs me as a super curmudgeon) I can't stand it when in TV Shows / Movies women who have lost their fathers ask another man to walk them down the aisle and give them away. How about having your mother do that? Why on earth does it need to be a man giving you to another man?

But like Lindy said, it seemed very romantic to me. I like the idea of us being an easily identifiable unit; I like the idea of our kids having the same name that we both have.

Hah! Well - it makes the room look like a disaster, I smack my head into the doors, it allows the cat to potentially knock glassware off of shelves...

I am messy in my own ways but the cupboard thing just kills me. I mean, do you leave drawers open? I assume no, right? I just cannot wrap my head around why cupboards would be any different.

Mine does it not only in the kitchen, but also in the living room. We have these strange bookcases with doors on them, and he literally is incapable of remembering to close the doors. Sometimes I come home and almost every cupboard / bookshelf door in the house has been left open. It makes me feel like we have ghosts…

WHY do people leave the cupboards open, though? I mean, I'm not going to leave him over it, but good god. I don't even understand the thought process (or lack thereof) behind it.

But is it OK for us to participate in something that contributes to our own disenfranchisement in this way, in the interest of holding on to traditions? I would argue no, on a theoretical level. But on an individual level, I obviously don't think anyone should have to do something in order to be a "good" feminist.
