I used to comment regularly on Jezebel for years (under a different name) and stopped because of the feeling the author describes when someone she assumed would be an ally made her feel unwelcome.

Oh for fuck’s sake. The attitude that you can’t go to someplace without your kid because it’s “professional” and that you need to have a babysitter or child-keeper at all times is anti-feminist to the core and supports notions that the only people who “deserve” to reproduce are the affluent.

Again, so many of you are failing to understand the basic concept here: You don’t care about 300 people. You don’t. You might care about 20. Maybe even 50. Between the two of you, MAYBE you care about 100 people but I really, really doubt it.

Because people complain about size and stress when it comes to money. I won’t dial back judgment of people who are their own worst enemy.

Pro tip: never propose to the rebound person.

*their. Should have gone to college.

Saying a woman or girl has “daddy issues” is fucking wretched. If she has daddy issues, shouldn’t the hate be directed at, you know, her god damned father? How is his disgusting and damaging fuckery her fault?

Road trip to South Carolina to fucking shimmy up that flag pole to shit on that fucking flag and then fucking burn it and then fucking throw it in that dumb fucking Governor’s face.

This person is so obnoxious and already acts like she’s working for Karl Lagerfeld. Her mother was shot twice in the face and survived. This is how she talks about her, as if she herself was the epitome of healthy, ideal living. Her mom didn’t choose this life, she did.

OK, so I had to search all of her crappy reviews to find it, but it is a great takedown. Dina L. is a mess—she loves ribs, is gluten- and dairy-free, shops at Publix and the latest great book she read is "The Fountainhead".

For a second, I thought I had already posted to this thread, because you described my mother to an absolute tee. The BPD/BD combo really seems to encourage that delusional self-preservation - the number of times I have brought something up, only to be screamed at that "I never said that!" or "That didn't happen!" is…

The guy I lost my virginity to is now a plastic surgeon at an Ivy League med school.

I think you mean 'lose,' not 'loose.'

One of my coworkers is a huge MRA and actually posted a meme from some horrible MRA facebook page about how women have more rights and privileges than men. Men who hate women to that degree are scary, unstable people.

"Grohl has shown himself increasingly to be not much more than a rock and roll formalist, the type of man who is a dying breed: guitars and drums subsume all other instruments, where the riff is king and the rock blocks are fully cocked."

And yet, when Nirvana performed at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction earlier this year, the honor of filling in for Kurt's vocals went to four women. Namely, Lorde, Kim Gordon, St. Vincent, and Joan Jett, the latter of whom friggin' killed it.

I had the same issue of recurring yeast infections for over a year. And then I left my husband and it turns out that HE was the one with the hygiene issues. SO GROSS. Since my split I have had a few different partners but zero issues, so the problem was definitely his nasty junk. You might want to subtly look into…

Reminder: midwives who assist in home births (on average) in the US have no true medical training and no real licensing procedure. Most "nurse midwives" practice out of birth centers which allow for more options and also allow their liability to not be as great. Most "midwives" have very little training.

Midwifery in…

me too, mostly because I think the real 'story' of Serial is how we look at cases like this, talk about them, make judgements about them, etc. and how we view the criminal justice system.
