I watched it with no preconceptions other than knowing it existed vaguely and despite being both an anglophile and not a hater of romcoms, I haaaaaated it.

Srsly. I fly like once every two years and even I am aware of the regulations and pack/dress accordingly. Slip-on shoes, bag packed to make access to laptop and phone and toiletries easy, no belt, no change, not zillion things in my pockets. And if I'm fying with some weirdo item where I don't know if it's going to…

It does taste better, but that's not why the OMG EVANGELISTS are super into it. Like, I love me some raw milk. I would be a sad panda if it got made illegal in my state (it is legal here, and there are GIANT HONKING WARNINGS on all the bottles), but that's not because I think it has magical sparkly health-giving…

It really depends on the type of people your friends and family are. When our baby shower rolled around, everyone knew we were having a boy, but they also knew that we preferred gender-neutral items. I put a note on my registry stating that as well. And pretty much everyone honored that. Both sets of grandparents are…

Ah, well, I haven't had "booze" in about 15 years then, by that definition. No one I know drinks like that.

I had a glass of wine at my baby shower. It's fine in the second and third trimester.

Yeah, I have never been to a bridal shower, ever. I didn't have one, no one I know has had one. I had a co-ed baby shower and I have only ever been to one "traditional" girls-only-with-games-and-stuff baby shower. I'm going to a baby shower this weekend that I am guessing is girls-only but it's at a restaurant and I'm…

This was my baby shower. Co-ed, no games, family and friends hanging out and eating noms. It was great! Everyone loved it.

Er, no? We had religion class for 4 years but there were people of many faiths/non-faith at the school and the classes were not indoctrination. Everyone there knew I was an atheist and I got straight A's in religion because I asked good questions and took learning about history seriously.

In what world are y'all living in where private womens' college preparatory schools are still telling girls to go to college and get their MRS and bake apple pies all day for their hubbies? Have I just stepped into the TARDIS and taken a trip to 1963? It's 2013. When I went to one in the early 90's, 100% of my…

I didn't get taught by nuns but we had sex ed in my Catholic high school and they talked about contraception. In hushed tones, mind you, but we got the need-to-know basics.

I went to a Catholic girls' preparatory high school and we were never taught that we were subject to men. All of the rhetoric surrounding that school was basically the same as these posters, though minus the "realtalk" angle. Critical thinking: check. Independent, educated young women: check. Rigorous academic…

My head filled in your ETA before I even scrolled down far enough to read it lololol. Though I'm an easy-breezy prefolds-and-PUL-covers kind of gal.

Well, my masters is actually a professional degree so that does get brought up every now and then but no one asks where it's from or how long I took to do the program. Just that I have it. Srsly in the real world almost no one cares where you went to school except in a select few fields. I went to a satellite…

Pretty much. The only time it ever comes up is in the realm of social amusing anecdotes where I have to first explain where I went to college in order for the story to make sense.

In my experience, no one gives a shit? I mean, I graduated in 97 so it's been a while, but I took 5 years because I was a double-major with a foreign language minor and did a semester abroad. No one bats an eyelash.

This is honestly why I chose not to go to culinary school. I worked in enough restaurants (front of house) to see the way most chefs are and noooooope. I can't deal with that level of hateful misogynist bullshit.

He is getting off easy in the tabloids, tbh. He is a grade A whackadoodle who has done some completely questionable shit and who knows about and has been a party to much more seriously questionable, illegal, immoral, completely awful shit perpetrated by his BFF David Miscavige. The tabs don't publish that stuff…

No, they are totes cool with child abandonment because they don't view children as children but as smaller-statured vessels for the same million-year-old alien spirits as adults. They treat even very young children in the same way they treat adults, giving them the same responsibilities and talking to them as if they…

Phase 1 of my childhood was ALL DRESSES ALL THE TIME AND ALL THE DRESSES MUST SPIN OUT WHEN I TWIRL!!!!
