I agree, religion is definitely used as a tool for misogyny. But I also agree with pichou that secularism doesn't automatically make things better. Evolutionary theory is used similarly to give credence to sexist stereotypes (of course men want beautiful, younger women who are domestic because HUNTER GATHERERS and…

I agree with everything you say, plchou. There's more in this article I don't like, but don't know how to put it into words.

My husband actually does this too. Here's our daughter, Mortal Kombat Abby:

Haha, that was what shocked me the most about my post-birth body. I was ready for being saggy and out of shape, but I wasn't ready for the loss of bladder control. Honestly though I was too lazy to even do Kegels. After a while bladder control just returned on its own. Even that, apparently, eventually bounces back…

I'm so sorry to hear that! My younger cousin had to have brain surgery before she was one year old, and had to have a metal plate screwed into her head. She had to wear protective gear while the wound healed, and was in and out of the hospital for a while with follow-up procedures. It was super stressful for my aunt,…

I bought a swimsuit alllmost identical to this only a week ago :/ The legs are not as extreme and it is a wrap. It also cost a fortune, but Miss Dolly Parton taught me that it does cost a lot money to look so cheap!

ANAL??? I did not realize this was an option in the child-naming process. That makes me want a baby. Like right now.

Clearly a calculated move, but one that will definitely benefit a lot of families, especially the paternity leave one. I really think so many co-parenting problems spring from men needing to go back to the office right away—it basically establishes parenting as something men "help with" rather than take an active role…

I have been screamed at by Halston himself for the state of a gown I returned to him when I was a stylist's assistant. The dress was shoved into a Banana Republic suit bag and in shreds. I had no idea what I was returning, it had just been thrust into my arms by the other assistant along with about 50 other pieces…

And why the hell couldn't they hop into that hot spring first?

Again, you might need to learn a little more. Were you in an ultra Orthodox school or a modern Orthodox school? If you think you know all there is to know about Orthkdox Judaism from your experiences in grade school, you are incorrect.

I am am an Orthodox Jew. Before you assert that we don't question anything, maybe you should learn a little bit more.

Does she have a big rip in the crotch of her pants?

When I read this aloud to Mr. Pankhurst, he observed that hand-cranking is already a time-honored, tried and true method that does not require 100% recycled materials or a disassembled, low-packaging delivery.

This is very much a U.S. cultural point of view. I'm thinking of the show "Once Upon A Time," for example, where the adoptive mom is the EVIL one, and the kid belongs with his "rightful" bio mom.

Both parents have rights and responsibilities and neither of those can be allowed to be dissolved without adequate due process. A text message is not due process, as damning as you might feel it to be. And sadly, state laws vary widely on what fathers can do to establish paternity and rights - thus, some women will…

I'm the only woman in my PhD program right now. Clearly it's because as a child I was given the Lady Greek New Testament, with a sparkly pink cover and all of the noun endings changed to the feminine. Also, since there are some things in the Bible that are far too masculine for my lady sensibilities, the Jesus now…
