See and the irony is, I don’t think Serena Joy would find lasting fulfillment or happiness in motherhood. I think she’d love the child of course but she wouldn’t get any real power or control which is what she really wants, what she had and reveled in before. I think she’d be happy for awhile and then start to fall…

I wish they would hire more women of color as creatives on the show in order to address these dynamics better. While they do make a point of basing a lot of characters’ behaviors, particularly those that might seem illogical, on United Nations data on refugees and people who have experienced torture and political…

So well said—watching OfMatthew’s and Frances’s stories (what little there were of stories) has been extremely disappointing. I respect Margaret Atwood for not feeling that she could adequately address race in the original story, but there are writers you could bring onto the show who can do better. Also, if they’re…

OK, so you haven’t had a baby and haven’t personally experienced what that does to your body, glad we’re clear on that. In case you’re wondering about biology, actual stats and actual expert information regarding post-partum weight loss, here’s what docs advise. And it varies from woman to woman, because, you know,…

That is highly dependent on a lot of factors: do you have the time/funds to work out now that you’re taking care of a baby? What age were you when you had the baby? I have an idea: how about we stop dictating to women how and when they are supposed to “bounce back” from monumental changes to their bodies?

Lord have mercy. Apparently critical thinking is hard.

Except that is NOT what she said. :eyeroll: She said looking back over the past 10 years not that she’s been feeling that way for 10 years.

I’m older, so maybe things have changed, but when I had kids the rule of thumb was, it takes you 9 months to get in this shape, it will take you 9 months to get back. 

I feel like "sis" should be reserved for people whose humanity you acknowledge.

“In a world that sees nuance as nuisance, women are not allowed to both despise the man on the street that compliments your ass AND also feel invisible in the shadow of a man who is showered with adoration, praise and the attention of countless women.” 

Listen white people just because someone black brown or yellow was hired instead of you doesn’t mean you were discriminated against, it just means you’re not good enough.

I’m so serious about the HBCU experience that my daughter has three options:

A gypsy tenderly stroked her cheek when she was a wee girl and whispered,”Haggard.”

She looks like she was rode hard and put up wet. Poor child.

#12, tho? Alicia be straaaaaaiiinnninnngggg these days. She’s been straining, really, since she got with Swizz, so...

Exactly. Landon is just playing victim.

Read back through older VSB articles by Damon. That’s not really the case when you look at his broader body of work.

Let me find my seat real quick because the umar stans are coming.

I mean, how does “I didn’t exactly handle the pressures of expected fatherhood well” translate into a restraining order?

come on. Think about all the bullshit that women put up with because conditioning and sexism.
