Although in all seriousness, I guess that’s why it’s such an effective book - Jeanine is SUCH a “type.”

LITERALLY WHAT I WAS THINKING.

“The three people killed on the bridge are men!”

For me, [The Handmaid’s Tale is] not a feminist story. It’s a human story, because women’s rights are human rights. So, for me, I never intended to play Peggy as a feminist.

They already are haha.

Now we’ve established that if you, like “A Childless Wife,” have chosen to be child-free, you are empty of soul, selfish and controlled by your basest desires.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to say to my husband, “Fuck your sperm!” And I love my kids, I do. But fuck his sperm.

I’ve told the longer story elsewhere on Jezebel but the short of it is my wife almost died from an ectopic pregnancy. We generally fall back on “well we tried but God tried to kill my wife so I figure its out of our hands. Take it up with him.”

My favorite antique shop find:

Hot take: every woman I know with young kids is either:

I’m 40, married, with no children. It’s amazing how in 2017 I still get snide comments from people for choosing a life without kids (particularly from women of child bearing age). I’m selfish, my life has no meaning, and, by all accounts, I’ll have no one to care for me when I’m old. Even as a child growing up, I knew…

Me, defiantly:

... oy. Don’t mess with Rory.

My hate for Bethenny is as perennial as the franchise itself. I put it away like winter cashmere, only to face it with renewed wariness.

I am. I’m like you, have Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO all that jazz. But I will not miss this. I think you can get a free trial. That’s what I’m banking on.

I feel the same way about the Commander. He’s part of the conservative establishment. He should be jowly.

This trailer legitimately made me cry because it feels like it’s just so close to this side of possibility. I just finished re-reading the book in anticipation of this series and it was truly terrifying.

It also helps fuel the narrative of “the corrupt media looking for a ratings grab” because... well, why the fuck else would you hype up something so ultimately trivial by talking for 20 minutes about the importance of knowing the information THAT YOU DON’T ACTUALLY HAVE AT ALL

I hope the short-term ratings boost was worth it, Rachel =\

At least the young, thin, flat-chested demo is getting plenty of flattering options. WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE THIN GIRLS??
