A 14 month old is basically still a baby. My son is almost four and my daughter is six and I cannot imagine the pain that I would feel or the terror they would feel at being separated from me in a foreign country. This is mind-bogglingly wrong.

Can you imagine having a life so devoid of shit to do that you could even begin to give a rat's ass about someone selling water without a permit? The mind boggles.

The thing is that lots of the men engaging in the behaviors we talk about with the #MeToo movement don’t think they’re being predators. They’re being “persistent”. Even though she said no to a date and asked them to back off, they’re just trying to show her how into her they are. Or they know that they’re not going to…

Why can black people use the n-word but white people can’t? For the same reason that I can call my sister a bitch but you better not. How is this hard for.people to grasp?

Weirdly, I know four men who changed their names after marriage (two took their wife’s last name, one took his mother’s maiden name, and one took his last name (Wheeling) and combined it with her last name (Carter) to become Wheeler). All four of them were well educated (college degree at least, two had graduate…

Counterpoint: don’t fuck Paul Ryan. He doesn’t deserve it and would probably be bad it it anyway.

I went out to breakfast with a friend a few weeks ago. She has no kids, I have two but I left them at home with my husband. We had a lovely breakfast and as we were leaving, my friend said, “I’m so glad there were no kids there today. They’re always so loud and out of control.” The thing is, there were actually…

I know you feel like you’re settled into adulthood now and should have this figured out but please take it from this 36 year old lady that you are still quite young and sex will get better as you get older. I feel like it’s late 20s for most women and I think some of that is that men* grow out of a lot of bullshit in…

I would really, really like to never see a p-in-v lady orgasm or the clear aftermath of one on television or in a movie again. I mean, how many times have you seen that, one person rolling off the other from missionary position or woman on top, both blissed out. Now, how many times have you seen the aftermath of a guy…

Yu’d be surprised a the number of dudes who won’t take direction.

I seems like women feel guilty about asking someone to do something that’s exclusively for them during sex, while men don’t. So much of how sex is presented to us, culturally speaking, is really focused on male pleasure, so it can feel like, “Well, if he’s not getting pleasure out of this, then this must be wrong.”…

Have you read Nnedi Okorafor’s “Who Fears Death”? It was awesome and it’s going to be a series on HBO!

I don’t watch Maher anymore because he always made me want to become a Republican just so I didn’t have to be on the same team as that asshole.

Were your Warby Parker glasses okay, though?

As they should.

Or it’s the working class fishing village where the plucky main character of a romance novel grows up and is working as a waitress when suddenly her high school boyfriend who is now inexplicably a tech magnate comes back yo town for his dad’s funeral (you know, as they do)

So, what did we all make of the fact that Nathaniel’s girlfriend is apparently also seeing a therapist named Dr. Akopian (sp?), but who is male? I’m pretty sure she said, “I even talked about it with my therapist, Dr. Akopian, he’s very good.”
