I respectfully disagree that the body-cam video drove interest.

I said the same thing on Twitter and tagged Dateline.  Once a month do an episode on someone other than the white killer of the week. 

How about for every Gabby Petito story Jezebel publishes, you publish two stories about BIPOC women who are missing and/or murdered?

Rightfully, criticism has been aimed at the fact that the media wouldn’t be covering this to such an extent if Gabby wasn’t a pretty white girl.

I’m sorry but you’re not actually sorry so don’t apologize. Introverts all over the place are accepted as needing space to themselves to recharge. But mothers are supposed to turn over every crevice of their individuality to their children and spouse (while holding a job at the exact same time-literally-they don’t…

And my sympathies to you regarding your bad upbringing. As a lot of people have discussed here, we bring with us a lot of bad habits and emotional baggage to our relationships that we need to work on.

So this entire argument is fucked from the start. Let’s ask why the person “making more money” gets to kick back and sit on a throne at home while the other person spends more of their time doing everything else? Let’s also talk about types of labor: a middle manager who sits at a desk all day is definitely not doing…

This comment is so funny to me because I am a millennial and when I was 11 I wanted to be famous and I remember like my grandpa being like “your generation is such a ‘look at me’ generation” and telling my mom about it and she was like “Oh yeah he said that to me when I was 15 and wanted to be in a girl band” (she’s a…

And just sharing this in real time because it’s relevant and on my mind.

I think we’re more aware of issues like emotional labour than we were even a few years ago. As for your comment re: the people saying women should have seen their partners for who they were before, while I get your point, at the same time, as a straight woman, how do you not just assume that your man will be just like…

Drop. In. The. Bucket.

Do you have two hands and a functioning brain? Great! Make your own list. Nothing is stopping you. 

Seriously. Lots of “it would never happen to me!” here. And no acknowledgment that pre-kids domestic labor is a drop in the bucket compared to what happens after kids. He may be doing exactly what he did before kids, but it’s like a dribble compared to the onslaught of drudgery afteward.

Vent away!

So many thoughts on this one and no shot in hell at stringing them together in a coherent fashion.

Another issue to be factored into the perception is how much women have to support men in their “contributions”. We have to remind men of the pick up schedules, pediatrician’s number/visit/vaccination schedules, make the groceries list, find them all the supplies that are right there if they would just look. And that…

Some of it needs to be obvious to be recognized, but it’s often down to how men and women are socialized. Generally, we [men] are socialized so that we do “manly” chores while women do the rest. We’re not trained in basic skills such as meal preparation, laundry, dish cleaning, and general household cleaning. So when…

Okay, I’ll bite.

In Boston it’s slush, and the only place to get it (made right) is the North End (the Italian neighborhood) and the only flavor is lemon. And it’s perfect.

Thank you. I rewatched MASH a few years ago as an adult. Not only did it not age well, that shit wasn’t funny in the 1970s when it was made and the 1950s when it was supposed to occur. The womanizing and sexism were so obvious and prominent, that show didn’t have much else going for it aside from the war and whatever…
