I don't think it is about boobs. The choice of "strapless bra" implies a frivolousness that is not exactly professional. Breastfeeding suggests someone who can't leave her baby very easily, and is thus more committed to the child than the job. Bottle feeding is associated with being able to leave the baby to…

NPR IS funded primarily through public donations. Unless those pledge drives every season are all fake.
Proof that good singers don't need auto-tune! Let us hear real voices like this! They are awesome!
I wonder how she feels about being slammed by feminists for mentioning the pregnancy in her speech, and slammed by conservatives for being pregnant at all. Talk about eye of the storm.
It's all about "pics or it didn't happen." Nothing Owen Wilson did was caught on video. He didn't call into a radio show and ramble. He didn't tweet about anything, and neither did his friends or family. He isn't any particular gossip slob's favorite target. It all happened behind the scenes, so there is nothing…
I read your post on iron-deficiency back in January, and it rocked my world, since I have been wondering about that very topic for 15 years, after a nurse told me she thought there was no way evolution would allow low iron due to menstruation. It just didn't make sense to her, so it has nagged at me ever since. So I…
I think the fact that she was building Lego penises while she was ovulating might have made the men suspicious.
My favorite moment of my third trimester was when I was walking through my grocery store parking lot when I started having Braxton Hicks contractions (for those who don't know, BH contractions are like practice contractions your body starts having, usually in the third trimester. It can feel like you are going into…
@CharmeleonWithAttitude: Actually, I think the biggest deterrent to reporting a crime like this is the belief that the police will just look the other way. If the media just lets it slide under the rug, the police and DA will know there are no consequences to mistreating and ignoring rape victims.
A card like this doesn't indicate the mother bases her whole identity on her kids. It means she wants to have a quick easy way to get contact info to other parents who know her in her context as a parent, and identify her by her children. I often refer to "Susie's mom" or "Jason's dad" and I have no idea what any of…
My point was not to be silent, it was to be polite. As I said.
Did you read my comment? It says "Be polite." Not be quiet. Giving feedback is not the same as someone being rude. If you haven't been rude, then I have no problem with you.
My goodness. I pay exactly $0 for access to Jezebel (and no, Internet access has nothing to do with them). There are a lot of really self-entitled whines going on over a free service. There are real people with real feelings doing their real best to provide a free service to you. If there is something wrong or you…
Is there any chance that the white plush thing directly to the right of the baby's head is a stormtrooper? I know that the description on the volkswagen youtube page says "he" but maybe that was a typo?
@DrLostie: I'm sure it was death pizza, though.
@sparkelss: They usually do stuff like find out where they live, who they work for, who they are related to, then they contact those people and tell them fake stories to try to get them fired and things like that. And of course, death threats.
I don't think this is sold exclusively as an ideal, but also as someone to look down on. I think lots of people read articles about this kind of thing and think, "this might be fun and even glamourous, but I feel confident that I would never stoop to that."
A few notes for non-parents who may be wondering:
Charlie pays the salary of a lot of people willing to ignore his problems in exchange for money. Lindsay doesn't.
