I just signed up for mine today. My 6 month point is in October and there’s no way I’m going through winter without full protection. We don’t have a mask mandate in my state and half of my inlaws are unvaxxed and I don’t think I’ll get away with skipping Thanksgiving and Christmas for a second year in a row. They…

Sorry to everyone replying to me. I see parts of your comments but Kinja has been and probably will stay broken so I can’t reply back.

My kids love being back at school, and me and my wife tried really hard when they were online learning. But we were both working full time jobs and were not the best helper for our youngest (our oldest is in high school and made it clear politely but firmly that he doesn’t need our help with school ever). My wife did…

Same. I didn’t know how amazing it would be to be with my partner and our daughter all day--it had never really occurred to me. Missing those hours every day now really bums me out. 

As a gen-x woman, I have absolutely seen women like this. They scare the shit out of me. 

I am truly sad that COVID has had a negative impact on so many marriages and relationships. Marriages aren’t for everyone and relationships aren’t for everyone, and that is completely valid. But I just hate the strain this is putting on families and partners.

As a middle-aged GenX dude, I have plenty to say about all these “man children” being referenced here. Useless, the lot of them. None of the women here need my permission, of course, but I certainly support every one of them who decide to show their S.O. the door.

I would offer a sidebar, though: There is a…

How much does the workforce participation issue go to the harsh realities of the pandemic mixed with gender imbalances in domestic work done in other people’s homes?

 I'll see your anecdote and raise you an anecdote!

I have a question: Does Minaj have, like, friends? Someone who can be honest with her, and be like, “honey, just... no. Please?”

I don’t have much to add besides that I’m a Respiratory therapist and bless you nurses. I regret not going to nursing school instead, but I was worried there would be too much poop.

Unfortunately, I don’t think correlation versus causation is a concept that will ever ever ever be understood by most people. Look at how many crazy ass health claims people make on social media. Autism diagnosis was after vaccines, hence the vaccines caused it! I drank berry syrup and then my cold went away, it’s the …

Second time this week I’ve had the chance to post this. Definitely described Manaj.

Peg the patriarchy implies rape to me.

I just want to say that people like her and how the media covered #metoo fucked us all over. I was sexually harassed at my office, and had to make a complaint to HR over it. They refused to believe me and said, “Do you think anyone would be stupid enough to harass someone with #metoo going on?” Even to this day, NPR…

Nikki Minaj doing the research. Finally, the best and brightest will illuminate us soon! Hallelujah.

I’m completely sympathetic to the idea that Democrats and liberals generally are capable of, and often do, act in ways that enact and uphold rape culture. What I don’t get is someone using that fact to come to the conclusion that Republicans and conservatives are a better alternative.  

Maybe he was unhappy for a long time and to stay sober he needed to get divorced.

“I have to step down as conservator, but if she has another conservator, they will certainly not allow me access to any of her money. She doesn’t want me to have her money either, but I can work with that.  The worst thing for me is for a competent conservator to step in.”

When you are the subject of a conservatorship, you lose ALL autonomy over any decision concerning you or your body.

In this case, she was: forced to take birth control and psychiatric medication, constantly living in fear of being sent to the psych ward, can’t legally drive, her dad approves her acquaintances and…
