Goodbye. I have perished from the stupidity of this article. I’ve loved you all.

I’m a dude. I have a relatively cushy white-collar job. If I approached my boss and said “hey, I’m feeling burned out, can I take a month long sabbatical?” he would laugh in my face. If I approached my boss and said “hey, my (fictional, nonexistent) wife is having a baby,” he would happily offer me at least a month of…

And don’t forget the many, many times per week the childless are called to take care of any off-hours business because the child-full have already vanished off to daycare etc.

I get the point you’re trying to make, and I don’t have children either and am 30 and have been working full-time for the last 12 years. But I don’t think that having children is the same as the personal goals you list. We as a society acknowledge to some degree that having children is a benefit to society as a whole.…

That’s not completely true though. So the dudes that get time off also expelled a baby from their body? People that adopted also somehow managed to expel a baby from their body? No. It’s an allowance for creating a new family and dealing with that. It’s a chance to spend some time on something you find to be important…

I contend, as a Bernie primary voter myself, that anyone who “refuses” to vote for Hillary in the general probably wouldn’t have even motivated themselves to vote if Bernie won the nom, anyways.

Slow down on the champagne buddy.

Not a total dick move. Just the tip.

I completely agree. Right now it’s a conveniently nebulous concept that can be contorted to mean something that is rarely intended. For instance, I regard my classrooms as safe spaces in that everyone is entitled to voice their opinion without fear of being shut down or treated with disrespect. The way Bloomberg…

It also enables this traditionalist campaign against feminism: They contend that “you’ve got to accept her decision, if you’re a real feminist who believes in the self-determination of women!” You’ve got to accept her choice to live a life of servitude to some asshole, because you acknowledge her right to do so.…

Not quite. My ancestors were brought here enslaved, so they also are not immigrants.

Pulling the proverbial ladder up behind oneself is the raison d’être of every Conservative.

The weight loss was too fast and their diet was probably too extreme as well (I assume they had to lose hundreds of pounds in just a couple of months because it’s being taped on a tight schedule, which is insane.) The best way to lose weight is the old-fashioned way, aerobic exercise three to four times a week…

The Onion King, One True King of Westeros.

Right there with ya. Barely got any sleep and have to spend the Sunday alone with my kids (4 and 6), entertain them, engage them, cook for them and take them to a ballet we have tickets to.

“Oh, could I help with your joke on those delightful coloured colonial people?”

I know. It’s real hazard when I’m pounding down the Evan Williams neat. Like life itself, Kinja allows no do-overs.

Some may have found this offensive, but I say Phuket, who cares?
