Same. I recently read a great article about the “mommy needs wine” narrative and how destructive it can be for alcoholics and women straddling the line between use and abuse. I find the whole thing to be pretty ick. I love wine but I despise the “I’m why mommy drinks” culture that is all over my Instagram feed.

They do it/market it because it comes off as making one “fun”. There are a lot of people I know that can’t seem to not have fun without a drink in hand. Then again, until I moved to Denver I’d never heard of a zoo serving booze so it’s probably a bit of the culture around here. That and fucking bottomless mimosas…

I hate all the mommy wine shit. I have no problem with a parent wanting to have a glass of wine or two after struggling with a cranky toddler all day, or after working all day and then struggling with a cranky toddler at night. But the whole “but first wine!” bullshit just seems to advocate/normalize…

Obligatory:

I read the headline was “Did you know Maggie Gylenhall and Peter Sarsgaard have fucked in teak bathtub” which was a lot of information!

You know Bryan Adams is somewhere like fuck.

I WILL NOW BE SENDING THESE STUDIES TO MY DAD WHO PRACTICALLY FORCE FED ME BREAKFAST UNTIL I FELT LIKE PUKING.

Name a breakfast food anywhere as delicious, like, sushi or marinated cassava. I’ll wait.

There was a pretty big story in Canada about a year ago of a couple convicted in their child’s death from meningitis. Which they treated with things like smoothies with garlic and chili peppers. Maybe post some links to that story on the page? What’s especially awful is that this guy’s facebook is now all him doubling…

I saw so many red flags that it might as well have been a slalom course.

I was at not one but two holiday parties recently where somebody brought in those black and white cookies from the babka episode. I kept wanting to raise it to somebody in solidarity. I didn’t, but I wanted to.

I angered a lady next to me on a flight when she praised a man like that. Cause I said, “How often do you say those things to women?”

Of my God THIS. It makes my head explode. Also, love the username:)

I’ve seen the CEO ask young female members of staff to sit on his knee, cuddle him, or let him massage their ears.

I like to think I’d be the hard core chick who would march up to the dude and say in a loud, outraged voice, “Dude! STOP WATCHING PORN AT STARBUCKS [or name the public place]. THAT’S F—ING GROSS!” These guys thrive off the shamed silence they evoke in women, who typically have way more class than to pull this kind of…

Good for her. Choosing to end something that’s been a big and positive force in your life when you can see that there is no good road ahead but it is still in a positive place is one of the more difficult lessons of adulthood. Most of us learn it (or not) in the context of relationships, but it applies to jobs and…

I watch porn for the articles.

As someone above suggested, there probably are guys doing it to sexually harass women working there (who cannot leave) and women who are just trying to have a cup of coffee/tea and read their book or do stuff on their computer. And the sort of guys who get their jollies doing shit like this probably would find a way…

What the fuck am I going to flip through in airport terminals now? Are there any women’s print magazines left? 

Don’t be ashamed! I, too, am a woman who fell in love with their humor!
