Because we live in a society now that completely revolves around your child, and anyone who does not bend over backwards for your child is a Complete Monster. Want to let your kid run wild in the store aisles and knock shit over? Go right ahead! Anyone who calls you out on it is being impolite and disrespectful!

I really don't understand why every single place has to be child-friendly now. Can there be SOME places where adults can expect to be able to go and be away from children? Is that so horrible? That's not saying your child is horrible, or disgusting, or needs to die. Just that we should still be able to have SOME…

Presuming to deny women bodily autonomy is inherently misogynist. Bye now.

Yes. The humans I like being around tend to produce other humans I like being around. Hurray for 'em all!

Oh, for Christs sake, America. My goddamn dog Gary has a more appropriate name than the future of the country.

She wanted stability so she married a guy that had been married 3 times?!

As a group, Americans are much bigger fans of gluttonous eating than social justice or self-reflection...

WE ARE CHICAGO AND OUR PIZZA IS KING

I am very sad to hear that school was shut down. It's like the evil empire winning over the jedi or something.

I'm honestly confused at why almost everyone is calling this a beautiful story. Yes, this woman's life story and her passion and commitment are incredibly inspiring, but the fact that she died is most definitely not "lovely." I understand that everyone will die and that dying at an old age doing what you love is…

It works for Catholics. My siblings and I have been living out our Catholic guilt our whole lives (despite not one of us being practicing Catholics).

It's more just the thought of that many naked people crammed in one contained spot. Like, I was envisioning a medium-sized pool with nudists packed in like sardines (which, well, might be uncomfortable and/or awkward) as opposed to a bunch of people enjoying themselves in a large beach area. Where I could be all, "Oh,…

Correct. Italian Beef FTW.

Both of you change your names to a completely new one? I like that idea a lot as well.

This is a really nuanced, well done piece. I'm glad you limited your attacks to the people making misogynistic comments, while separating it from the concept. It's okay for women to cook, as long as it's not expected because she's a woman! It's okay for women to take their husband's last name, as long as it's not…

Sending you ALL the Love. It gets better. :(

Hang in there, and take care of yourself in the best way that you can!
