See, I think was thinking it's more like, "I can't sleep because I'm a workaholic and think I need to make my first million at 30" vs. "I can't sleep because I have 3 jobs and still can't pay my bills etc." It seems like all of the examples listed were of women who were striving to be at the top of their field. And…

In the game of Oppression Olympics, the only winning move is not to play.

That's also what I thought it was going to be about - being able to afford a housekeeper/babysitter/nanny/tutors/etc.

It's "I can't sleep because I am trying to climb my way to the top and out of this shithole studio I share with 2 other girls" vs. "I can't sleep because I have to be up at 4:00AM to catch the bus to get to my job that pays $8/hr and then get my kids from school before I go to the second job just so we can have heat…

I think it was the word "privilege" in the title threw me off. This writer still has the choice being able to take time to engage in self-care. Many, many women don't, and never will.

I mean, when your hut is dark, you go to sleep, and when the sun…

Huh. This article didn't end up being about what I expected. I thought you'd point out the millions of low-income women who have to work two or three jobs just to pay the rent—on top of caring for children, going to school, etc.

Handy *snatching*

That's funny, that's actually where I KEEP my Doritos for handy snacking.

I do not understand how this psychopath could punch her 7 times (including her falling and getting back up again) with NO ONE else in the club intervening.

Do you even know what a rat is?

Does The Shredder have an alibi?

He's got this.

I checked to make sure someone had made this joke. Thanks for being on top of it, because this was a joke that needed to be made.

IT'S A JUMBO SIZED SEWER RAT.

For a normal-sized rat, this type of trap is more humane than a number of other types (while still retaining efficacy). The problem is that the rat was just too damn big.

You're welcome.
