This kind of thing is my favorite, because there you have it- if a woman doesn't want to do all the extra shit, it's also her responsibility to mollycoddle and train.

The answer, I think, is much more difficult to pull off: It's to raise boys differently from the start. The answer is not to teach women to care less; it's to teach men to care more. It's to teach boys how to care—with detail and empathy—so that as adults, men and women no longer have a gendered notion of what it…

Yes, I've suspected since she was placed in the coma that something like this might happen, and I don't really see it as strange or wrong either- more like an attempt to bring her more comfort as she passes by bringing her closer to her mother somehow.

I just watched that like ten times and involuntarily said "wow" every time he made contact.

No, god, no. My husband wears one and I hate it so much. It will never not read 'character in a 1970s mob movie.'

FUCK. HER.

Several months ago I skipped my beloved grandmother's funeral in large part to avoid an encounter with my mother. You do not have to go. You do what you need to do to take care of yourself. Can you spend time with your nephew morning or night of, apart from the festivities? You can absolutely communicate to him how…

Love the bowl!

Sending a hug. I had OCD as a kid and it was (really, really) bad enough without trying to juggle adult life on top of it. It is miserable to have your brain and life hijacked like that. FWIW, meds were a fantastic success for me; I mention it just in case therapy doesn't get you quite to where you want to be. My…
