I completely understand people's reaction to want to get violent tonight, but I am so scared for what that will mean for the citizens of Ferguson (and elsewhere). I hope everyone - and you! - stays safe tonight.

This is awful. I am genuinely concerned about what is going to happen in Ferguson tonight, and I'm half a world away.

You guys are covering Ferguson, right?

I can't even fathom a relationship where both of us weren't capable of doing all of that shit on their own.

I'll send off for your copy of "Don't Be A Silly Sexist Fool" at the same time.

How much are Gwen's people paying you to keep promoting her new releases?

I re-frame it as what's more valuable. To me, it would be more valuable to teach my children equality and egalitarian attitudes to family-rearing and relationships. So although financially you are likely to lose out, you gain in what messages you are teaching your children. It is hard though, and I can see why so many…

Huge reason why I have chosen not to have kids too.

I would quite happily tell him he could carry on living nearby to his special snowflake specialised job role...as I packed my bags to move to where was better for me.

I am British, and this is my EXACT problem with the royal family. Why the fuck should I show a modicum of respect? Because pure chance meant they came from the vag of aristocracy while I came from the vag of a working class nurse? It's bad enough they live a life of luxury at my expense, they don't get my respect with…

Should we extend this to kids not wanting to take maths class, or English, or geography? The teacher is an arse and should be fired but she was definitely in the wrong, it just needed a different punishment.

Probably because her reason isn't valid.

I wish I could star this post a thousand times haha.

Don't have kids? Good. Keep it that way.

When I was 18, just before I went to uni, I had a summer fling with a guy. I distinctly remember him telling me how he would stay at home looking after the babies while I was at uni. This was about 2 weeks into our relationship - to this day I don't know how I let it get to 2 months.
