@lucyjae: daddy_dearest is heading to get one of these done soon, and his mom will be PISSED if she finds out. We only have one kid, and she is always telling us to have more. She tells my four year old to ask me for a little brother (no, never a sister, just a boy will do). I have so many horrid mother-in-law stories…

@applejuice: You know who loves Heidi and her Playboy spread the most? Jesus.

@SundaysAndCybele: This was part of what struck me, too. It was so condescending to call a place a ghetto just because it is populated by women who are doing things traditionally thought of as female pursuits.

@TheUptightMidwesterner: She didn't get her OWN sample, silly. Her doctors got one and let her keep them.

@queenjulie: Danica Patrick came in third place in the Indy 500. I think that qualifies as kick-ass, no matter what she looks like.

@Penny: Speaking of UW, when I went there, a frat was closed due to an incident involving a sheep and peanut butter. Not joking.

Tatiana, so well-written, as usual. I am also impressed that you are addressing the issue, since you are the annonymous model, not the annoynmous plus-sized model. Very good on you.

@Dagneymedea: Pretty sure your office is unique.

@mommy_dearest: I should clarify I do think moms are less likely to be hired. I just think this study might be showing more than just pure maternal profiling.

Business Week is late on this one, since the study came out at least a year ago from MomsRising.

@Magnakai Haaskivi: I think it is ok to look at a specific subset of athletes for a study. There have also been studies looking at the dangers of behaviors encouraged in male sports, like steroid use. Every study can't encompass every athlete, and as long as it doesn't claim that only these women face problems, it…

I broke my Della when I mixed it up for a pillow during a pillow fight at the slumber party with my friends, while we wore bras and panties and sipped merlot. But I'm still keeping it since it matches my undies!

I don't want to reclaim the word "housewife." That's like a house cat, unable to leave. Other than that, I don't have much to add to his conversation. Well, I do, but I have to get my nails done, and I ran out of bon bons, so I'm in a pissy mood.

@hortense: More likely they realized they would get lots of publicity and they could feel better about themselves in the process before they go back to business as usual.

I'm going out on a limb here. But Megan Fox is speaking the truth. To win an Oscar a woman has to play ugly, but she must be beautiful first- Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry, Charlize Theron... They don't get parts if they aren't beautiful. Her faux pas was admitting it.

@CretaKano: Hello! My friend with three kids told me there was no point in rushing to get out of diapers. Diapers are EASY! So I stressed, then finally relaxed and enjoyed not worrying about being on a plane or in a car trip needing a potty. Then she trained herself in one day at about 3, also. Except for the…

I want NOM taken down for being a parody of decent human beings.

@amsci: you sound like a vocabista.

That's so funny- my last facebook update was "mommy_dearest just needs a little time to pluck her eyebrows- thank god she got kiddy_dearest a teepee!"

This marks the death of feminism in pop culture. Long live zombie feminism!
