YOu guys, I am SO CONFUSED about Jodie Foster - is she retiring? And also coming out even though she said she came out years ago...?

So, do you just ignore all the stuff in the Bible that's about how god created the earth in 7 days, or interpret it as representing evolutionary steps? Not snarking, genuinely curious.

Well I think it's more science disproves organized religion than it does god. It's one of the reasons I am more agnostic than atheist; I don't believe in any of the tenets of organized religion, but there might be some deity out there or a version of a godlike entity that we can't know about.

Ugh, this is the reason that Feminists get a bad rep. There are shitty hormonal men and shitty hormonal women. There are also awesome men and awesome women. As a strong, independent, successful woman, three out of the four most important people encouraging and supporting me along the way have been men (Father,…

Because they are really separate issues. One is beauty pageants, the other is discrimination. Just because I may think pageants are shallow and potentially harmful to Feminism, that doesn't mean that anyone who wants to participate in them shouldn't be allowed to. We're celebrating her acceptance into something that…

I know, creepy.

Yeah, I totally bristled when I first read the article, then I went to xoJane and clicked on her author bio. It put the article more into context of her age/newness to LA.

Oh, my gosh, that's awful.

Well, the author is 23 and lives in LA, so I am assuming for *her* there is not other reason to go to bars other than to get laid. I'm straight, and I used to think so when I was in my early 20s - I didn't understand why married people would even bother going to bars other than befriending their single friends…

My feelings exactly.

I think it's awesome that you are mature enough to enjoyably have coffee with your ex and his lady - and then proceed to be friends with her. I thought you people were unicorns!

I have yet to see a Money Saving Tip! that isn't totally obvious. Another one of my favorites is "buy generic or store brand!", as if it had never occurred to simply buy the cheaper cereal right next to the more expensive one on the store shelf.

Really good response. I'd also like to add that the reason that undocumented immigrants continue to come to the US is that there is some need for them in the "underground" economy. I'm sure Real Americans would be upset if their food and service prices reflected the payment of legal and working wages to those in these…

It's like when you read an article on "how to be a millionaire!" and the number one tip is to save $$$ by using plastic bags you get for free to carry your purchases from walgreens as small trash can liners, vs buying a box of small trash can liners. Really?? For the what I imagine is the relatively few people who…

I thought she was saying that the beautiful girls don't have enough rejection to motivate their writing, or something, not that they're stupid.

Well I think journalism, the example given by the author, is at least equal male/female ratio.

The point is that the gender of the person "making a home for family" is skewed very heavily female, as apparently is the gender of unpaid interns; this reflects gender bias that is ingrained in society. That is wonderful that you are choosing to be a housewife, but for many women they are coerced into that decision…

totally. Also, I used to be honored to be chosen as a bridesmaid; I have since announced to all of my female friends and relatives that I have retired as a wedding party member.

I just want to support this sentiment. I also specifically told my friends who wold have to travel for my wedding to please not get a physical gift, their traveling was more than enough - and have been told this as a guest when I travel to weddings. Just get a nice card and write some nice things in it.

I've gotten one wedding announcement to a wedding I wasn't invited to, and it certainly felt like they were trolling for gifts/money. I felt really weird about it; sent a nice card.
