What part of my very first sentence "WHERE IS THE FATHER" makes you think I am blaming the mother for being a single working mom? Just wondering.

Where's the father? Why is the 14 year old making dinner? Maybe she's mad at the mother for being ungrateful but can't get her — so, to hurt her, she gets the sister who she perceives as not having to work as hard. Well, her life is as over as her sister's — almost. She should never be free. Ever. And someone…
Forty times? Really? Are you male or female? Because that is A LOT of times. Most people would get tired before then. Did you count? How do you know? And what happened to you when your parents found out? I am just having a hard time believing the 40 times — and no bad injury to your sister? Something is…
Me, too! THIS is what Jezebel is supposed to be about, isn't it?
This article IS long — but you know what they say — size matters. And this article is worth every fucking inch. Actually, it's the best thing I have ever read on Jezebel.
Why is the term fag hag offensive?
Well, just take a little trip over to http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/
So, what's her name? Her contact info? My husband says it seems to him like she is jealous of a dead person, which is pretty fucking crazy. I think she just sounds pretty fucking crazy. However, if she can take it upon herself to cut down someone's memorial, I think it wouldn't be too bad if people took it upon…
I remember when my sister was about 6. The dentist told my mother that my little sister had cavities and he needed to sedate her for the procedure. She said, "No way are you sedating a six year old for some cavities. Give her novacaine and I'll be right here." He said, "It's monstrous to expect a six year old to…
You are not rude because you are a WOC. You are rude because you are rude. I AGREE that colorism by white people exists — ultimately, though, I think it doesn't matter. Non-white is non-white. The end. That is the truth. No light-skinned person will EVER be considered white by a prejudiced white person. To a…
Definitely Wednesday. Wednesday Addams validates my entire existence (as does Addams Family Values). Had I ever had a girl child, I would have named her Wednesday.
I have had my thyroid checked, a thousand times. Thanks! I gained an enormous amount of weight — very, very fast. I was obese and not happy about it. I never had been before. My MD kept saying, "Diet and exercise." I said, "How did this happen? Diet and exercise my ass! This happened in like a month!" And he…
My ex-boyfriend used to say that. It was weird, though. He looked OLDER than he was (not because he had wrinkles or anything; he just did). And I look younger than I am — which was very good because I was old enough to be his mother. Literally. Oh, well. He was legal, though — yes, he was much younger than I,…
There you go, kiddo! You asked a question — and you answered it! You love talking about feminism and womanism? Fantastic! Write about it! And you are a woman, so writing entries about your personal life you definitely fit in with your theme — anyway, it will be YOUR blog, so you can write about whatever YOU want.
I am so glad my compliments make you happy! You deserve them! Maybe this is the universe telling you — BE A WRITER!
I am SO happy that my post made you happy. Yours just blew me away. I can't stop thinking about it (or repeating it — but I give you credit, don't worry!). It's just so sharp and insightful and you get right to the point — no wasted words. With a few words, you pointed out a glaringly obvious truth that I think no…
Oh, fwiw, I SAID all that This is hands down the absolute best thing I have read on this topic all day. Thank you for writing it. Succinct — sharp — you'd better be a teacher! You are too awesome not to be. Thank you, thank you, thank you as a white feminist.
I can't stand it that people admire and respect him because he is good at sports — so what? That says nothing about a person's soul. And it scares me that people feel safe enough to be openly anti-semitic in your work place. And people wonder why Jews want Israel! This world is not safe for Jews. Thank you for…
So you are saying that the majority of people in the South are total racists and you are an exception to the rule. Right?
It's not just Anelka, though. It's so many people. If you look at the link it goes on and on and one — so many people doing the quenelle in so many different places. I don't mean to move attention away from the DiFranco incident, but, well, I guess this is just a continuation of an answer to your statement about…
