The tagline should be "Control your animals". (the thing I'm always tempted to yell at parents in public but I'm too scared to actually do.)

The dismiss button is only available to replies of posts that you make. You should see it when you view this post from me to you. If you click it, it'll bump my post out of the thread and into the general section (most always as a grey comment).

For what it's worth, back in the 70's my mom pretty much dressed exactly like the "dress for success" guide is suggesting, and that woman kicked ass in a male-dominated field. She was making more money than my dad back in a day when that kind of thing was practically unthinkable, especially considering he had a…

When I was a college student in the early aughts, I bought the original version of this book in a used bookstore. It was really interesting, and I actually really liked how Molloy wasn't afraid to say the truth about the world he lived in. Women entering the business world back in the '70s had it rough, and…

Yep. Fresh out of school in 1983, I headed to Boeing to apply for work with three other recent grads. They wore jeans, I wore what Molloy suggested. My friends laughed at me for "dressing up" because we were only filling out applications. The lazy B listed two years experience in the job requirements. One by one we…

As awful as this sounds in 2013, it sort of worked back in the day. The fact that it was necessary to provide such instruction is an indicator of how much of a challenge most women were experiencing when entering the professional ranks in the 1970s. Malloy helped by providing women with a formula that equated to a…

Just wanted to chime in with another "amen." I've also been annoyed from time to time with the tonality in a lot of these health/weight related articles on Jezebel. I do think it's important to criticize and snark on the way our culture tries to make women practically neurotic about weight-loss and the very rigid…

Hmm... Your first link was an amateur 'Being Fat is Healthy!' blog. No thanks. You might as well just link to the tumblr 'fatshion' posts.

I'm so happy I've found someone who agrees with me about the content of the weight loss articles on this site. I love Jez, but they have a lot of unwarranted snark about healthy living/weight loss and they do have a general attitude of "why bother" about it. Also, a lot of hate about BMI with a grossly hyperbolized…

I too lost 30lb by counting calories daily, choosing healthier foods and exercising.

I thought we had all agreed that it was calories in < calories out?

I understand that this article is supposed to be full of snark, but it's not hard to reconcile a lot of the "steps" (as long as they aren't contradicting each other). There's one section (37-41) that basically says eat lots of different color foods—that's really good advice, as long as it's not Skittles! I'll make an…

Feed him not- for Oakleaf is perhaps a troll. Definitely an idiot, but quite possibly a troll.

I go right to the insults. Your new BFFs called a guy a "faggot nigger" because they thought it was funny, but I'm the one who goes right to the insults. Okay.

Before the comments section turns into the usual nitpicky mess, I just wanted to say thank you for writing this. I have been so horrified by the recent Bangladeshi tragedies and this article was the wake-up call I needed to be more vigilant about making ethical spending choices. Thanks again.

These kids aren't people to these guys. They're just links in the chain they use to keep their partners locked up.

It's not like he was going to have to take care of the new kid. His wife was already home. She'd deal with it, right? And as long as she has a baby to tend, she can't go anywhere.

I go through this discussion every semester with my hate speech class. "But if THEY call themselves niggas/fags/dykes/mutts/etc., why the hell can't I?" Because context matters. Who it is who's saying the words matters. If it's somebody who the word is normally targeted against, that means, "Hey, I'm owning this so…

Maybe the scientific community is better equipped than the gay community to deal with transmissible disease? Just a thought.

Gay scientists though are probably pretty awesome at it.

And that is what the CDC has done in issuing this warning.
