I have no kids and I see nothing snark-worthy in the comments.  This is an incredibly bad take.  

Yep, unwarranted snark.  But Jez has been trafficking in that a lot lately.

Okay.

I am sorry for what you went through. You are brave and strong, whether you reported or not. I did (though I wasn’t raped, I was sexually assaulted). It was brutal. I was called names. Multiple police officers lied about me under oath during court proceedings.  I lost family members, some of whom still don’t talk to…

I’m a huge Kelly fan and pretty much read everything she does.  I have learned a ton from her and I suspect she and I would be great friends.  But I have noticed that fact-checking has slipped on Jez across the board.  I’m sure it’s about a lack of staff and budget cuts.  It’s been weird in these parts.  I miss the…

That was such a huge misstep, though, and pandering to Trump and his Trumpanzees to boot.  But I’m over it and, as I said, all in.  But I will vote for whoever the Democratic nominee is, regardless.

I was slain in a similar fashion by volleyballs (and a few errant basketballs) many, many times in middle school PE class.  Can I please get some sympathy?

I have noticed that fact-checking has been pretty lax and/or non-existent here lately.  At least it does seem that Kelly consumes the content about which she writes, which cannot be said about some other writers/articles on here recently.

This was my exact same reaction to the article.  I get sad over the stillborn babies on “Call the Midwife,” but I get over it.  Dying animals?  I might have to take to my bed.

Warren lost me with her 23&me stunt, but she’s won me right back lately. She knows her shit and she really does have a plan for everything. She’s a badass and I love her. I’m all in.

Not only do I see what you did there, I love it.  Good job.

This comment wins the internet for the day. I love it and you so much. Go home, folks, we’re done here.

Yes, there are definitely some problematic chair placements going on there.

I am so here with you.  I am quite far from an anti-vaxxer and I really hate the wellness trend.  But my forays into hormonal birth control nearly killed me.  I tried all different sorts and dealt with dismissive medical professionals who told me that my increased rates of depression, mood swings, and suicidality…

Imagine being the employee charged with manning the mop and bucket after the inevitable chain-reaction vomit this thing will induce.

Emetophobes unite! Fear of vomit aside, the idea of being on a cruise ship, unable to decide for myself that I don’t want to be on it any more, is my idea of a nightmare.  I’m much more of a “hey, let’s do this thing that I thought of on a whim” vacation kind of girl.  The appeal of a cruise has always escaped me.

Thank you for this.  I do think that this article, like many other articles on this site of late, missed some important nuance

I love it, too, and think about it often.

LOL, you said “seminal.”

Also, the literally millions of enslaved people upon whose backs this country is literally built.
