Haha! Well, in ancient Rome, oftentimes patrician daughters were not even given actual personal names (praenomen) but rather just went by the feminized version of their dad’s name. So you would have multiple sisters all called “Livia” or “Iulia,” with only an ordinal adjective tacked-on to distinguish one from the…

Lovely suggestion! I DID read at least one or two volumes in the “Accursed Kings” series when I was in high-school! I remember finding it a bit difficult to sink my teeth into after my beloved Alexandre Dumas romps through French historical fiction. 

Have you read The Accursed Kings? A bit long in the tooth now but classics of the genre (and partially inspired A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones.) Originally written in French but translations are widely available.

For all the jackass mofos looking to ride in and defend his right to “free speech,” two things.

That is a strangely specific reference.

He’s not a racist, he just plays one on YouTube.

I’ve found the NWA’s next target to be eliminated, for the Greater Good of course.

Am I the only one who really liked the wedding dress? It was clean, modern, no freaking lace in sight, looked gorgeous to the touch, and appropriate for the occasion without being stodgy. Yeah, the night-time reception dress is cooler in all ways, and I’d rather wear it if I had a zillion dollars and a fancy party to…

Nah, kombucha’s legal.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

The f*** was that Hamburgler full-body turn he did at the end?

Wow, he sounds emotionally manipulative, or even emotionally abusive, and it sounds like he resents the baby. Is family therapy a viable option? If he won’t see a counselor, do you belong to a religious group where someone can offer guidance and/or counseling? I don’t think he’ll snap out of it or that he will grow…

+1 for info on Lupron - I found info on it while researching what might help me and that drug sounds scary as hell. I would not take it based on stories of women taking it for the short term but being permanently sent into menopause & other scary outcomes.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I have never been 100% on the ‘yay kids’ path, so (fortunately?) the infertility doesn’t matter as much. Which makes me shut up about the Endo, since so many others want to get pregnant and can’t....

Oh, thanks for the recommendation!

so glad you enjoyed our fair city!

Run, Lillian!

So, he’s not autistic based on your “impression,” but based on an Internet comment you feel like he might be adopted and therefore abused based on his race? I’m also not clear what you’ve seen here that is evidence of abuse, beyond the fact that the kid doesn’t want to engage with you and maybe his mom sometimes…

Random but pretty grossed out by the press coverage “incels” are now getting. They thrive on publicity, and there’s their hero headlining the most trafficked feminist site on the web.Everyone’s playing into their hand but it gets the clicks so it’s worth it, right Jezebel?
