I just took your advice and went on a nice long walk because I was starting to get overwhelmed with my feelings. It was so calming. My neighborhood is pretty, fortunately, so that helped, and I felt like I was doing something with a purpose, even if that purpose is as small as getting from Point A to Point B. I think…

It is no longer Saturday night but I hope someone sees this.

I feel like people don't understand that relationships take a lot of work, no matter how much love is there. I recently ended things with my (now ex-)boyfriend, and its been really hard because I really, truly love him, but there were just aspects of him and of the relationship that were not going to work, and it…

I'm a day late, but I agree with your comment. This is a very hot topic amongst feminists. There is a common sentiment of "every woman has the right to birth her own child," but one of my favorite professors once mentioned that she thinks we, as a society, have a social responsibility to adopt, especially if we are…

I was hoping Jez would write about this. I'm very fascinated by this story, even though it does seem that she is suffering from severe PTSD. Very interesting tale though, and very haunting. Hopefully she finds treatment and/or peace.

First thing I thought when I saw this article. This is definitely not news. Newborns are even entered in pageants.

Depends on your birth control. Mine is free under my insurance :-)

That's how I read it.

Disgusting, barbaric, and tragic. I hate reading this.

I don't really care that she doesn't want to be called a feminist, but I think she is lying with the whole "every single time I leave the house women tell me I'm setting back the feminist movement." I just don't buy that.

I think you're lying.

Trust me, I know. One time I said I didn't like Beyonce and about 5 different people called me a racist who was afraid of seeing black women advance. And Jezebel commenters have a serious problem with their use of the word "troll." Just because someone doesn't agree with you, doesn't mean they are "trolling"!

Just chiming in to say that just because someone has a different opinion than you, doesn't mean they are "trolling."

Hell yeah! to this comment.

I feel like our society is still torn and in this half and half type space, where many people still think the internet "doesn't count" or something, but it actually does.

He said "a lot." Not "all."

I don't go to clubs, but my friend told me that one time she was going out somewhere with two friends, and the bouncer at the door straight up said, in front of all three of them, that "the fat one" wasn't allowed in. I'm not fat, but looks wise I'm definitely no more than average (on a very good day) so I know a club…

Wow...we might have the same brother! My brother is 25 and a complete racist and sexist. But since he has a job and has "family values" my parents don't seem to realize how much of a dick he is. It drives me insane. And it REALLY sucks because my mom taught me to be a strong woman and to call myself a feminist...but…

Dude, I have many family members who are librarians, and they have soooo many stories of kids behaving badly because they literally are dropped off at the library all fucking day long. Its so common, I don't see how people don't realize it. This summer, whenever I go to the library during business hours, there are…

Yeah, exactly. Work is, I think, the one place where you really have to do a bunch of shit you don't want to, no matter what - if you want to keep your job. I think it teaches kids/people the importance of punctuality and cooperation. One of my closest friends is 22 and she has never worked a job, any job, and she…
