If the men were forced to play on astro-turf, they might rethink flopping. (I don't watch a lot of soccer, so I don't know if the women tend not to do this in general, or if the really shitty playing conditions was an actual deterrent).

I’m pregnant with my 1st right now, and while the idea of a homebirth completely was unappealing to me (although I understand the mentality of “this is where I’m most comfortable and can be less stressed and most focused”), I also know people who were pressured into inductions/C-sections for vague medical reasons, and…

Strictly from anecdotal evidence, I think that there are a lot of women who get pressured by their doctors to “move it along” if labor is progressing kind of slowly. And while there are many, many options between birth your baby in a field and elective C-section, the common American approach of laying down on your…

I’m hoping this is actually an intentionally provocative/devil’s advocate scenario, where he picked the most outrageous proposal he could come up with in order to highlight problems with the ballot initiative system.

I definitely think I just hit my max with this story. There was a headline on People today where this bitch is saying that SHE identifies with Caitlyn Jenner. Nope. Nope. Nopenopenopenopenope.

As I was fawning over this post, my baby started kicking like he knew I was “checking out” another baby. I’m definitely just hormonal enough to be REALLY into this story.

Not sure if you know the backstory, but she crashed two of her dad’s post-game press conferences and was completely adorable, and a bunch of no-fun sportswriters got their knickers in a twist over it.

I think last time he just spent a couple of weeks calling into Fox and Friends saying that he was considering it, but ultimately decided that his "work" on Celebrity Apprentice was far too nece$$ary for the country's morale.

My husband and I befriended the bartenders on our honeymoon, as we were by far some of the youngest people on the ship. It ended up being super fascinating to hear about life on the ship, as well as their home countries.

Thank you. I've just been reading the Gawker/Jez articles, and hadn't been looking into this independently. One of those Google wormholes I didn't want to get sucked into. Appreciate it!

Agreed, but it kind of makes sense. A law requiring an ultrasound infringes on the patients’ rights, a law requiring a doctor to detail the size of the organs infringes on the doctor’s rights.

It’s so fucking condescending, and also, being forced to hear about all the features of the fetus sounds like it could compound any emotional distress you may experience.

This story is really so fascinating to me. She is a very educated woman, who really, really should have known better than to pretend she was black. I’m just so curious about her motivation, did she think that no one would take her advocacy seriously as an ally?

Oh, God. I *didn’t* get stuck on Imagination and I hate that fucking dragon. (I also am still holding a grudge against the person who insisted we go on the ride to begin with)

Yep, totally agree. In the interest of keeping my comment short and sweet, I didn’t emphasize that point.

If you ever want to test if you can make your eyes roll right out of your head, search pinterest for gender reveal parties. The invitations and themes are the tackiest, most gender-normed bullshit ever. “Guns or Glitter” was my personal “favorite.”

Absolutely. I meant to imply that more heavily.

Yeah, we don't really keep in touch anymore.

I was so, so irritated when I heard a colleague bemoan the people who didn’t give her and her husband “enough” money, when her parents paid for the ENTIRE wedding. You don’t get to complain about a gift not meeting the cost per plate when you didn’t pay for the plate to begin with.

There also may have been a stipulation, like, his episode fee had to go to any back child support he had. Or maybe something super shady came out when they were editing and looking at all the footage.
