Yeah, I love how these people are like, “she just has good marketing!” And I think, yeah she does, what’s your point?

Bear with me. I just need to hop on Twitter to complain that Jennifer Lawrence is technically no better than me at falling upstairs, but is getting wildly more press for it than I do. 

It’s too easy to handwave this job because everyone imagines the HS version of it, never anything else. My sister went to school, got her Masters in psychology with a focus on young kids and became a school counselor for an elementary school in a poor county.

Wow, I have inserted myself into many discussions regarding parental leave and I have never heard a criticism based on the false idea that protected parental leave would require women to stop working. So I guess congrats on viewing it from an angle that concerns absolutely no one since protected and/or paid leave…

As a former breastfeeding mom who rarely pumped or used bottles, I think that it’s important to include with this story that pumping moms often do a combination of feeding from the breast and feeding expressed milk from bottles so that they can keep their milk supply going. Pumping keeps the milk flowing, which is…

An age gap per se is not a problem. An experience gap is. People do so much growing up in their late teens and early 20s, that each year is like dog years in terms of their maturity and life experience. This starts to level out in their mid-20s. By their late 20s age gaps matter much less and lose much of the predatory…

What this research actually seems to be saying is that if you leave your child with a crappy babysitter who restrains them in a car seat for hours instead of actually caring for them, then there’s an increased risk they might die. Letting your baby sleep in their car seat next to you in a restaurant is not going to…

It was an elegant sidestepping of the benign racist comment about whom the baby looks like. You could tell that Harry was very protective. 

$500,000 to get your dipshit kids into USC, laffo. Why didn't she just donate directly to the school? Y'know, the legal way to bribe colleges.

Pregnancy is a potential consequence of sex. If a man isn’t prepared to accept that his sexual partner may choose an abortion, he shouldn’t have sex.

Except it’s not what happened and there are very well documented instances of anti-semitism by the left, and we have to stop using ‘but we’re just criticising Israel!” as an excuse every time.

 Yeah, the left are constantly on about allowing minorities to define their oppression and not have it explained to them apart from Jews. Then everyone gets to tell that what antisemitism is. 

“Don’t MAKE me pull this airplane over to the side of a cloud young man!”

Totally agree with you. Also, at that age “doing something” about a tantrum/bad behavior can sometime make it worse. We had an epic melt down in the subway last week and the more I touched, tried to comfort or talk her down the harder she cried and thrashed around. Eventually, I told her I was here for her, then I…

“If you don’t stop that we’ll turn this plane around right now, and nobody will be going to Disneyland!”

I didnt even need to read her reply to know that she probably agreed to move seats. I've never met anyone who prefers a middle seat. And as for your situation with your girlfriend, that's on you. You should have paid the 13 dollars to pick a seat next to her. And if none were available, deal with it. I was stuck on a…

Hmmm... bear with me, I’m pre-coffee.

According to Edgington, an employee with corporate human resources told her to “run back and forth every couple of minutes to pump in between customers,”

I have a very distinct memory of being something like five years old, and getting a doll as a gift, and I distinctly remember feeling disappointed that the doll didn’t have blond hair. At five years old, I’d already internalized that long, silky, blond hair was the ideal. Nobody ever explicitly told me that blond hair…

It’s not a “silly distraction.” It’s not the biggest or most pressing problem, sure, but it’s not inconsequential. Despite people like OP who seem to think that influence doesn’t exist unless it’s explicit and conscious, Barbie dolls still account for one more thing in the avalanche of patriarchal messages that kids…
