This could also be weirdly, specifically racist as well. Like it ONLY applies to Asian women.

I'm not sure what you mean. Nobody doesn't love "Twin Beaks," but that "Homeland" parody is also "actual Sesame Street."

No, if a doctor had told any of them they had fertility issues, that would definitely be a particular reason. That's a diagnosis. I'm talking about women in their late 20s and early 30s that all have a "feeling" that they have fertility issues, based on exactly nothing.

I think that it's because women are fed a whole bunch of lies, yes fucking lies, about how you will never, ever get pregnant after 30. As a woman who had an abortion at 29 while on the pill (remember when those BC pills were pulled off the market two years ago guess what I was taking) and a subsequent in depth…

I feel like within the context of intentional baby-making, you hear about fertility struggles (as is right and proper—it's not an uncommon issue and a lot of men and women find support in talking about it openly), but not SO much the "Yeah, we tried once/twice/three times and I got knocked up." (Probably because it…

She's saying that a society premised on slavery and oppression is Hell for both white and black women, and that white women like Mistress Epps did what oppressed people often do — she turned around and oppressed those who had it even worse than she did. She couldn't take her rage out on her husband, who is the one who…

This was hard to read (literally, hard to understand what the author was trying to say), but I appreciate the overall sentiment. It's always been very interesting how much more complicated early women's rights movements really were - their relationship to race issues, reproductive rights, etc. To quibble with a…

Is it odd that someone her age doesn't know how offensive blackface is? I think it is.

My guess is this hunk of handsome man

Boys' names stay a lot more traditional because boys are a lot more likely to be named after their fathers than girls are their mothers.

I watched the graphic first and let out a little involuntary yay! when Jose took over Texas. Surprised myself a little, but there you have it.

Yeah, I'm sure it was gaining in popularity before Twilight. I assumed the author of Twilight used it because of its popularity.

That's really cool. I don't have that option with my bank. Most here require you to pay a monthly fee for bill pay. My parents have it, I think, but I don't.

I didn't know about Oregon!

Throw away her change? As in, fling it on the street like a Parisian nobleperson before the Revolution?

Buy a cookbook of casseroles. Seriously. There are tons out there, and nothing's better for a fast, tasty dinner that provides lunch the next day, too.

...I just don't get that. Like...there's a nozzle. There's a hole. It stops when it's done.

Are you my sister? My mom used to send me in to buy groceries and cigarettes with a blank check while she smoked in the car. Looking back, I have no idea how idea why the store allowed it. My mom is a really formidable woman with several personality disorders. My guess is that she bullied the manager and the grocery…

I seem to be commenting a lot about my parents to you today...

I'm a millenial, and when my father got divorced he couldn't clean, cook or do his own laundry because he didn't know how. But millenials are the WORST, amirite? They're clearly the only ones who don't know how to do this stuff.
