I rather assumed that the Miley-centric focus was that many of the Jezebel writers, uh, "grew up" with her. I know they're older than her, but maybe they watched her shows? I have no idea.

Thank goodness for cool aunts! You have my best, best wishes and appreciation!

Wooow. I hop it's a while before she becomes a great-grandma!

Every kid needs a cool aunt. I'm sure mine kept me from going absolutely suicidal when I was a teen.

Is it that they look significantly different? Or that 3-children families are rare? What?

Wikipedia: not a scholarly reference.

Omg. I've played with this troll before. For him, any subjectivity = feeeeelings. I suspect he's incredibly disassociated from people, so he believes he has the only true path to rational thought.

No one, not even goddamnpolitics, is telling you not to wear makeup. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do to navigate your life with as much ease and benefit as you need.
