And yet how often during various fashion weeks doesn't Jezebel feature just about every show from the main designers? You're willing to get hits and advertising dollars from these all (or mostly) white shows, and bring them publicity. Why not be the first group to take a stand and not have any articles about any…

I'd be fascinated to learn why that is. Is there something we can do that would make pregnancies go faster/slower?

I was just thinking that. The name is only a slam if you consider abortion to be a horribly negative concept.

It would be legal where I live to own a tiger if I moved outside city limits. My secret dream is to do that. Mind you, I never actually will, for countless logical reasons, but I still can't help but dream of hugging a tiger.

That line is used so often (no one regrets family time when they're old), but you know what? It's not always true. I used to volunteer in a home for the elderly, and worked as a personal support worker for a 100 year old woman for the last few years of her life. It was actually very common for women to regret lost…

I totally agree with you that it's ridiculous for everyone to believe that they can (and are entitled to) have everything they want. Says who? And why? Since the dawn of time, life has been about a struggle to survive. If you can squeeze out some happiness, great! But no one deserves a life where every wish is…

I don't mean to say that I work 80 hours a week or something or that my job is my life. I just mean that to have a job that leads to promotions and a stable future, you pretty much have to make yourself available to do more than the bare minimum (which, these days, is 40 hours a week). And a lot of women I know with…

Except no one ever separates the two. If you read an article about women having it all, there's no disclaimer saying that "we only mean the women who want children". They just say that women either do have it all now, or they don't, or it's harder, or whatever.

I hate the phrase "having it all" because it assumes that if you don't have kids that you spend a tonne of time with, your life isn't fulfilled. I don't have kids, and that's one of the reasons I consider myself to have it all. My husband and I can travel more, do more, enjoy each other more, and will likely retire…

Maybe if your razors weren't ridiculously expensive, people wouldn't minimize the amount of shaving they do.

My first reaction was to say "No would would talk about this if it were a man", but then I remembered how when Chris Christie had weight loss surgery whenever-ago everyone said it was so he could run for president in the future. Why don't we just stop caring about candidates' weights? They have to submit health…

Thanks! It's not a plan that appeals to everyone ("No kids and one car" is a part of it), but I find that scrimping is easier when you have a specific goal in mind, just like you.

They just need a vodka flavour, and I'll be a loyal customer for life. Vodka-filled chocolates are already one of my favourite things, so how hard could it be to add those ingredients to popcorn?

My husband and I recently put together a rough plan that means that we can retire in 15 years. Now, every time I see something I want to buy, all I can think of is "No! Early retirement!" It really takes the fun out of shopping, and is making me a little testy about having to go to a wedding in Hawaii this fall for…

John Oliver was one of the best things about the first season of Community. I'd watch him in almost anything. I really hope he gets his own show after this.

He's not perfect (neither am I), but I wouldn't go that far.

Since it's too late to edit my post, I just want to add that I don't have any specific health issues from birth control. I was just referring to the fact that a number of them have made news in the last few years as causing blood clots, etc. I also get paranoid that I'll forget a pill, or miss the timing by a few…

I wish it wasn't too late to edit my post. I don't have any specific health issues from birth control; I was just referring to the fact that a number of them have made news in the last few years as causing blood clots, etc. There's no way he'd make me stay on something that was making me sick!

One current frustration I have with my husband (who is awesome in most ways) is that although we don't want children, he won't get a vasectomy. I've been on BC for years, and would love to get off due to the health issues that seem to keep popping up (and for the extra security), but he's afraid to get a snip job. …

I've got a question about the child care thing. I don't have kids, so I've never gone through this myself, but it's not uncommon in my area for women who want to stay home with their own children to start babysitting full time in their home for another family as well. It's not exactly day care, but (in most cases)…
