Fuck this. You want to help? Go volunteer or give money to a crisis center. Talk to your children about boundaries and healthy relationships. I've seen the real faces of abuse, and they never had to paint it on.

Nope this is fucking gross. And fuck Jezebel for even somewhat supporting this bullshit.

FCKH8 is a shitty company, donate money directly to places that provide support to victims of domestic violence.

When you publicly make a lifelong commitment and break it 9 months later people are bound to treat you differently. Why does that surprise you?

OMG, not THAT! /s

Yeah, my department is more like kiisseli's. I think they even have a (maybe unwritten) open-door policy. It wouldn't be weird for a student to drop in on a professor at all. I doubt I would be pursuing my PhD here if the culture were like you describe (but I definitely recognize that some fields are simply more…

Thanks for your insight - with regards to my response, I was thinking about how I'd act personally in the context of my small-ish, friendly department. As long as you ask if they're busy and take no more than 5-10 minutes, I don't think any of the faculty would mind terribly, especially if you didn't make a habit of…

I keep forgetting about Maggie and Glenn, which is an issue. I wish the Termites had been used for a couple of more episodes because of Gareth. But I guess they wanted to get the whole hospital deal rolling or whatever, even though Dawn really isn't that good of a villain, in my opinion. Like, she's shitty, but…

Post. Save up your box tops first.

My wants for her on how to spend the money are irrelevant. She had a legal obligation to provide for her children's future. She failed to do so.

I would watch that show, since those are the characters I like best, although I am more fond of Rick now that he's so crazy...I probably have some issues. I'm half hoping Beth is the "big" death so I don't have to be angry about it.

I don't see where anyone called her an idiot. But she had a clear moral and legal obligation to provide for her children's future. She failed to do so. Instead she seems to have put her desires first. No doubt people crawled out of the woodwork to ask her for things, including the father of her child, but there are…

She was given a gift of a second chance, something most people don't get. She was also given a windfall. It makes me rage that so many deserving people will never have the free chances she did.

It is DEFINITELY possible to be attracted to that mustache. And seriously, Maggie, we know you have Glenn back, but come on!

They should give us at least two extra episodes to make up for the Abraham/Eugene one, because I did not care about them, whoops.

You probably won't like my advice but here goes: You should never, ever move and put your career at risk for some man that you aren't married to. You've made ALL the sacrifices here and he's made zero! He won't even drive to you two hours away.

It doesn't make you a bad feminist. I think it does mean perhaps you are not thinking ahead and anticipating all the possibilities - if your partner ditched you tomorrow (I know, I know, you're in lurve and that would never happen - let's imagine it will) how would you survive? Do you have the means in place to get by…

We knew when we got married that we wouldn't be having kids. He's got a 9 to 5 IT job, I'm a freelance artist. He always thought I should work harder at my career, and I agreed- so I told him that, in order to spend more hours every day working in the studio and chasing leads, he'd have to step up and start sharing…

I think a lot of men who grew up not contributing to household chores or childcare also experience what a Cracked writer once called "effort shock" - like sticker shock, you can't believe how much it takes until you actually see it.

"Ah yes, marrying down. What men have done for ages, except it wasn't called that because for most of history women have never been expected to be anything but attractive and docile in the first place. "
