What pisses me off the most (not only, but the MOST) about that whole “wimminz be raisin’ the babies!” thing is that there is not one culture, anywhere, at any time in history, where the majority of women were not working. And I don’t mean the endless unpaid labor of home and child care, I mean paid work—in factories…

It’s amazing to me that there are people stupid enough to believe this nonsense.

I agree! Plus, more men taking (and being able to take) paternity leave is good for women financially. It takes some of the burden of primary childcare off of women, helps end the stigma around hiring and promoting young professional women who want families, allows both parents to share any gaps in careers, AND has…

Uh, what?

Society wants women to have children and stay at home in perpetual domestic servitude. Working disrupts that paradigm.

These bros piss me off. Because I know their type and they take every opportunity to bring up their kids. Because, unlike their female coworkers, they get to use having kids as an “head of household” credential to ride that glass elevator straight up. Whereas for women, it works the other way around.

Maybe? Until it is understood and expected that both parents want to act as parents in raising their kids, nothing will be done. Women asking for it was never enough because working women have always been treated as the exception, not the rule. Even when most households have two working parents.

I am trying not to be super salty about this because any improvement would be good but for fuck’s sake. It is REALLY HARD for me to be rooting for better paternity policies for men (especially in other countries) when the maternity policies here in the US are still a goddamn crapshoot. I know it’s not the point of the…

My work has gone to paid parental leave (2 mo), and short term disability for 2 months, and the two months paid includes all birth and adoptive parents. You’re starting to see men take advantage of it, and that’s great, but the consequences for them are so minimal. If anything they are lauded for taking time with…

I feel bad for the Dad but... my need to leave at 5pm to get home and feed my under 1 child is questioned, and counts against me at my job.

It’s like society wants you to have children and then it punishes you for having children and at the same time hates you if you don’t want to have children.

This is this strangest exchange I’ll I’ve heard in a while.

It’s a sad commentary on the state of the world currently that I’m actually super shocked that everyone is being released from their NDAs. I mean, it’s totally the right thing to do, but who the heck does the right thing anymore?

Kimmel asked her about it. She was 16 and he told her he had girlfriends her age. No wonder her mom was accused of being an overbearing manager. I’d watch my kid like a freaking hawk if they acted.

How old was she? She looks awfully young. He does too - like 90s Seagal.

I’m shocked people aren’t freaked out by doing their sexual assault cases with Lisa Bloom after that whole Weinstein debacle.

The robe is really becoming the white van of the garment family.

Not surprising, considering this picture of him and Katherine Heigl:

I love it when Jezebel does these brackets! I got way too emotionally invested in the Halloween monster one.
