wait, you think Brazil is the one looking bad here? lol ok

He’s from the generation that didn’t talk about feelings, and didn’t discuss social issues like this. They “kept it quiet” for the sake of propriety.

He was married to a black woman, so unless he was living out some weird slaver fantasy, he’s not a conventional racist. I’d agree that he doesn’t “get” institutional racism, but he’s...well...complicated. I just can’t wrap my head around this guy. Sometimes he seems racist, sometimes not. I think he’s probably decent…

you’re fucking kidding right? She is most likely drooling at the chance to debate real policy with Trump. You say Hillary is a liar as if she is the only politician in the history of the United States to ever lie. Give me a fucking break. Trump lies every god damn day about things he doesn’t even need to lie about.…

Of course he’s full of shit, every single thing he says is a stupid lie. He’ll never debate Clinton in any kind of real neutral setting, he’ll only do it if he can arrange for a moronic circus scene full of screeching idiots who roar over his spastic twitching and dopey insults. He’s a grade-A coward, a sleazy punk, a…

I have to imagine all of you guys are absolute idiots, or you are purposely lying and deceving for some reason. Taylor Swift never approved the Bitch I Made Your Career line in the video. At all. It’s very obvious she approved the sex line and not the one after. That’s the only line in question. This is NOT HARD. You…

Yeah, I agree. And then he turns it all over to his wife to handle, like a little baby. Those two (K/K) are pretty vile.

Can’t we just forget this. He was an ass to her during an acceptance speech. She tried to make him look like an even bigger ass, but just made herself look like one.

Also I still don’t understand why Taylor swift is not allowed to be angry...he never played the song...the music video was disgusting...and he called her a bitch and claimed he made her famous...Kanye was never shown in the video he secretly recorded relaying those lyrics...

I don’t usually ever comment. I’m a proud comment reader and I love the humor of all of you on this site. But I had to comment. That this article was amazing and poignant I've shared it amogst friends. I've always admired this site. And I'm so proud of this article. Jia. Such good work!

Seriously. As someone who is dealing with infertility, and a DH who doesn’t want everyone ‘up in his business’ (meaning,’No talking to family about our private issues.’) it would be great to see Jezebel have a series.

It’s crazy common to have miscariages and infertility and think you don’t know anyone else who has gone through it because nobody talks about it. I’m kind of shocked that Jezebel hasn’t done a series on it given how many different reasons there are for infertility and means of treatment.

Thank you Jia. I am 35 and currently 31 weeks pregnant. As soon as I read about the cost and the roof, I was going to find a way to donate to him. I already donate regularly to Women’s Medical Fund because access to abortion is a basic human right. I am pretty amazed that being pregnant with my wanted baby has made me…

I didn’t see this right away and I called Dr. Hern’s office to ask how I could donate money directly to the practice. I had a fifteen-minute conversation with Dr. Hern himself. In addition to being a hero, he is a very humble and cool guy.

I know it’s so hard and painful to do, but I wish more people would talk about their miscarriages and other fertility issues. I was completely shocked when I realized how common it is, and I think it would help a lot with the feelings of failure that so many women have when they have trouble conceiving or carrying.

*bangs head against desk repeatedly* why

jia, want to thank you for writing this. i am not a mom, have never been pregnant, but was moved to tears by your words and the way you spoke with elizabeth. this story is so important,and i’m glad you were the one writing this. thank you.

Way to miss the entire fucking point.

My heart broke into one thousand pieces for this woman. my god. MY GOD. I CANNOT.
