In turn, one should also avoid baggage that comes with people, unless it is to release the people from the baggage.

Some kids remain picky, put this phase of “I can’t eat it because it is broken” or “I can’t eat it because it is on the wrong side of the plate” is just a really common phase for 2-4 years old. Kids just get super picky and can’t deal with their emotions. It is hilarious and frustrating, but it doesn’t really have…

A couple of magazines have this feature for women. It's always 8 bottles of water, a green smoothie for breakfast, 6 almonds and green tea for lunch and a salad with four steamed shrimp no dressing for dinner and then the splurge...one square of dark chocolate for dessert.

Not necessarily. We’ve done that with both our kids: one responds and will try anything once (loves sushi, pho, real ramen); the other is all NOPE and sticks to spaghetti with butter, plain hamburgers, cut steak. They’ve been exposed to the same range of foods, but are very different human beings.

Ha. Until 4 my daughter ate anything. Squid salad, eggplant, shrimp, you name it. At 4 her taste buds slammed shut & she’s only just now getting over it 6 years later. Fortunately her love of cheese is undiminished, since there were some weeks that was the only protein I could get her to eat!

I was just going to say there are legit reasons a kid might have that contribute to making them seem picky. I have Aspergers and growing up with sensory problems was really hard since my mother didn’t understand me and just though I was over sensitive and picky about clothing textures and food. Sorry to be that…

Get ready for comments like “kids should eat whatever is served to them or starve!”

That “response” Jia wrote about “Look at how none of the MEN get upset about the [way better and funnier] satire written about THEIR wardrobe choices” is just a real dick move. I can’t even really fathom how a writer for a semi-feminist website actually pulls the “Look how the men do it” card. Like what

As seen by her thoughtful replies(which are totally not passive agressive) and detailed argumentation of her opinion. Even more on point is the truly subtle allusion on stupidity of all those readers who don’t agree with her.

But why do you find an article that made a number of your readers feel so bad about themselves they were on the verge of tears fine by you? This people are not trolls or some passers-by, they are mostly loyal and active readers and commenters, and you’d rather question their intelligence than your choice of article?

SATIRE FAILURE, Jia. Huge failure.

Ok, I’ll play along. Who exactly is the target of this brilliant satire? People who publish long unfunny rants insulting women’s bodies and ragging on random pieces of clothing? Because that’s not really such a booming genre that the readers here (who I assume are mostly well-read people capable of understanding…

1) This article was stupid and mean. What a waste of a post.

Yeah, I’m reading thru the comments. But damn, that hit me really hard. I’m usually pretty good about rolling my eyes and moving along.

I have a disease that makes my legs look like tree trunks and I can only barely wear jeans. Maxi dresses are the only thing that hides them and makes me feel pretty and normal. :(

Yup. And with the women getting her bagel scooped? Weird sure but it read as very “ugh, women. I am SO not like the other women.”

Does it feel to you like this is exactly the sort of article Jezebel used to tear apart?

How about we just let women wear whatever the fuck they feel comfortable in? Personally i’m not a fan of the maxi dress (I prefer knee-length dresses) but why does it matter that other women like to wear them?

Franco will be DAMNED if he lets the Sexy Hamburglar be the most inexplicable McDonald’s-related thing that happens this week.

I hope they were wearing capes. I hope they were wearing capes. I hope they were wearing capes.
