Wow, this is just embarrassing for you.

I’m pretty sure we’d all contribute to help you pay that fine, because this is straight up bullshit. Women are given no bodily autonomy, up to the point of control of nude photos that were conditional of the relationship?!?

To be fair, I’m a middle of the generation Xer, and I’m thinking anyone who had someone from their friend’s group plugged into BuzzFeed when it was “hot and fresh” (read, probably boosting a lot of their posts with social media ad buys,) has some awareness of their schtick.  

The is the future women in America can look forward to. 

They say that there’s no such thing as bad publicity. This is getting his name well into more mainstream media mentions than anything he has been otherwise doing. He’s being a dumbass, but *hmmm* there’s got to be somebody out there with an deep pockets and ax to grind against Jez and G/O. If only he could get them to…

We might be working for the same firm... But I’m at 21 years, my manager is at 34 years, and I was recently volunteering with a colleague who had 43 years. I’ve been able to move roles and groups within the organization, have been 100% virtual for the last 12 years, (my group and direct reports are located across the…

My husband needs an app that helps him recognize he needs decision assistance. He gets decision paralysis, even over mundane decisions like what to pack for lunch. (He resists any life hacks like planning a menu and preparing in advance. Might be a lost cause.)  

Get my bail money ready, I’m driving up there to fight him.  

Thank you for sharing this! It was charming, insightful, and honestly, just the right amount of humanity we need to see in each other these days.

OMG MY SISTER RECCOMENDED THAT TO ME!!!! Bwahahahaa, I’m rolling all over again, just at the thought of it.  I’d have take the rest of the day off, if Ashley wrote that up!

I’m cackling. At everything about this. The ad: the race, the swim struggle, morphing into a centaur. Ashley’s write up. And now the fucking comments.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” ha!

That’s all correct. You do love your kids more intensely than anything else, but I can confirm that developing and immature brains can power the most annoying assholes on the planet. Luckily I recognize many of the same traits from my own formative years, so I know they’ll grow up to be pretty decent people. Just…

100% on your reasons. Nobody should be derided for a choice to remain child free, and nobody should be derided for a choice to have them.

You are correct. If you don’t want kids, it’s not ever a good time for it, regardless.

This is a good suggestion, but we’ve found that using an unbleached large basket coffee filter works well and breaks down more quickly in the compost. Many paper towels are a little too sturdy and flap around on top of the compost pile for a bit longer than we’d like.  This kind opens up widely and fans out to cover…

Adding to the excellent points from others in the comment section, I just want to add that I’m really disappointed at the tone of this piece. Jezebel is about empowering women, giving us information, and understanding the daily trials that society and the patriarchy throw at us. Or did this kind of mission change?

My local NPR station keeps news on AM all day, but switches their FM broadcast to classical between 9:30AM-4PM. I drive my spouse nuts by keeping it on AM, because I don’t like hopping to other NPR FM stations since they have different schedules for the programs I like.

Because it sucks so hard. My 2011 Subaru has it, and for one reason or another, something in the connection breaks and I can’t listen to my NPR’s AM broadcast, which they keep to news all day, rather than the classical music they switch to with the FM.

Oddly enough, my liberal New England location’s NPR station comes in much better with AM than FM.  It drives my husband nuts to listen to AM, but I can go much further and still get the signal, rather than having to channel hop to their other dial locations.
