I kind of gave my aunt the side-eye when she announced her second adopted child was from China (first is from Romania, adopted when he was 3 - 19 years ago), but I did have to applaud her for adopting a thirteen year old. And to my knowledge, her choice was partially because a close friend in similar shoes adopted…

Yes, this. Though it's not always the case, it is something adoptive parents must consider. And I don't think there is anything wrong with admitting that you don't have the skills and/or resources to help a child that has special needs. It doesn't do anyone any favors to let your idealism overshadow your practical…

Well, have you worked with many foster kids? A lot of them have really serious emotional (and sometimes physical) problems. It's heartbreaking, and all children deserve a loving home, and I think it is wonderful that Bullock has done this- especially since she has the resources to help the little girl out with any…

I’ve NEVER understood that. Listen, I have a kid...and she was absolutely inconsolable and WORTHLESS from birth until at least 5 or so. I would’ve gladly skipped those years in which I had to do every single little thing for her. WHY DON’T PEOPLE APPRECIATE OLDER KIDS MORE?!?!?!

It’s bizzare; I don’t see why you would say it at marriage. That’s basically starting the relationship (dating and engagement period aside) by saying it might not work out; rather than saying you’ll work to make things work out. True sometimes relatoinships fail but if youa re in one with that attitude in mind by…

Everyone wanting different things I think is the core of this sort of proposal. A few years back I heard that Mexico was thinking about having three different kinds of marriage contracts, with different term limits based on why the couple wanted to marry. Love got you a two-year deal, financial stability was seven,…

This is just an attempted workaround in order to avoid the word ‘divorce’ when it’s still the same result. My ex wanted to stay together forever without getting married (which is cool if you’re into it), with this bogus logic: “If I get married and divorced, I’ll be just like my parents.” So I dumped him, and it…

I really, really, don’t understand the need to get married if you don’t believe in marriage as it is. We’re in 2015. It’s not as if you NEED to be married to have kids, a fulfilling life, etc. There are common-laws unions (or whatever the equivalent in USA... or do you have an equivalent??) for a reason, yo.

I think what they’re probably getting at is some kind of short-term formality that grants the benefits of married people without a long term commitment. Live-ins generally don’t have any kind of rights when it comes to medical decisions, for instance, or tax benefits.

Honestly, I don’t really see how having a trial marriage is that different from living together for a year or two before marriage. Except perhaps combining your finances, living together will give you the same day-to-day experience as being married. And hopefully you’ll have thoroughly discussed finances and any other…

MADONNA, I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND KILL YOU. STAY AWAY FROM MY MAN.

Yes!!!, I went through this too, you feel like a liar, all your years of saying I love my curves, and then you realizing you like yourself with less, feels like you are betraying other big, beautiful women.

Yeah, it’s such a fucking wasp’s nest. Like, losing weight is always equated to becoming acceptable in the male gaze, yet getting healthy feels amazing and really *is* something you do for yourself.

Outing someone is always disgusting (especially disgusting to me coming from a place where outing someone can lead to their death/seriously endanger them). Referring to someone as gay as some kind of insult/jab is plain homophobia.

This episode was amazing and introduced me to the term “down low” thank you Ice T for keeping me current by which I mean twenty years behind on colloquialisms.

Man, as much as I want my relationship to continue to work for more nice, loving reasons (like I love him and would be crushed if we ever stopped making it work) sometimes I read comments like this or hear similar things from my friends and end up thinking “My God, it has to work because I cannot be out in whatever…

Does this surprise anyone at all? I realized as a kid that Bond was a misogynist, and that's before I knew there was a word for what I was watching on film. I love that Daniel Craig freely admits the truth of that. This plays into Flemings hyper masculine fantasies, where all it takes is a big dick.

One of the best parts (and there have been many) about Daniel Craig’s current GiveNoFucks Bond tour was the exhange when the interviewer asked him what life lessons Bond could give and he was like “well, nothing. He’s actually a misogynist.”

Yes, but practically speaking, if your wife isn’t exhausted and stressed out from two full time jobs — one of which pays nothing and is massively undervalued — then you are, in fact, likely to get more sex. Because she’s no longer exhausted and stressed beyond her limits.

This is why parents have got to teach their sons to do their own damn housework.
