Keep fighting the good fight, you are not alone.

One of the most frustrating things about being a woman who cares about pop culture is that pop culture almost never…
Grab your ovaries and come out with a real statement, or, hell, a retraction if necessary. This - this is bargaining. And it is pathetic. Jessica, I respect that your job is difficult. You're representing feminism to a broad audience. Do us all a favor: stand up straight and speak clearly. I have tremendous faith in…
RATIONALIZATION
I thought Lily Tomlin introduced daycare to corporate America in 1980.
Asking other people for money to spend on car insurance, or the mortgage, or to put in a retirement fund is even worse. People who aren't having weddings need to do those things just as much as you do, and considering them allowable expenses just makes people ask for more, keep asking for those things when it would…
I almost always give cash at weddings but I strenuously object to the "pay-for-your-plate" fake qui-pro-quo concept.
For anyone commenting on this page with their "tried and true" method for weight-loss - even the ones that state the need to "eat smart and exercise" - can we all just step back and consider that maybe, maybe, we should all stop being obsessive about losing weight and getting skinny and just focus on being healthy…
Hey, fellow white ladies of Jezebel: Let's remember that a black kid is still dead, and his killer is still free. It's not about our feelings tonight, or about what black people say about us. It's about the fact that black lives do not, according to the state of Florida, and in American society at large, matter.
Jesus H, can't we just call it comparing apples and oranges? I have zero doubt that being a parent is taxing as fuck and draining on physical and emotional levels, but any person who could stand right next to an astronaut or a third-world sewer worker and proudly proclaim, "Being a mom is the hardest job in the…
Yes, they are higher maintenance, but that is the nature of the relationship (not job). Same for someone caring for elderly parents, or for a spouse who was severely disabled/ ill. If those relationships suddenly involved a shitload of work (and I would argue that caring for an adult with dementia or a paralyzed adult…
Being a mother isn't a "job" anymore than being a wife or daughter is a job. Not everything that requires putting work into it is a job. When my parents are a lot older, I may have to do a shitload of work to care for them, but that won't make my being a daughter a job. I think calling motherhood a "job" is also…
I've heard that flushing tampons will screw up *something* without exceptions. If it's not your own pipes then it will eventually be grates where they treat the water to release it in the wild. If I weigh my own discomfort while wrapping a used tampon in toilet paper against the worker's who will have to collect a…
My cat is the ultimate asshole who smothers me with her love. She is oppressive with her cuddles. When I read, she sits on my chest and breathes in the air I exhale, our noses touching. She must at all times take.
So he's so powerful that his opinion became the law of the land and he still can't not insert his voice when someone is disagreeing with him.
An ARTISANAL diva cup or he doesn't know you at ALL.
I've always thought that people who propose in public are afraid their partner might say no. *Pressure!Pressure!*
This article pretty much sums up my feelings about pubic proposals. If a guy ever proposed to me in public I would immediately say no because that would mean he didn't know me at all. I'm a generally private person and I hate being the center of attention, so a public proposal would mortify me. But I guess I could see…
Here's how fun I am: whenever anyone says to me, "I'm a good multitasker," I say, "no you're not." Because it's just not true.
It's a classic sign of a guy who has an issue with women. Sure, there are definitely reasonable and appropriate contexts for the word "female," but when I see a guy use it as a replacement for "woman" I'm always apprehensive. It definitely seems to be like "those weird, different females, which are not really the same…
