Yep. I lucked out, because my husband is very, very involved with doing household chores and is also a good cook, so we pretty much split everything evenly (well, except for laundry - since I hate it, he does most of it and as a trade I primarily clean the toilets and such. I’m weird, whatever).

Yeah but at least the Soviets were white.

Ha! My newborn slept past his usual every-two-hours feeding one night, and I lay in bed thinking, “Well, if he’s dead, he’ll still be dead in the morning,” and went back to sleep.

I like to point out the recent massacres of Muslims committed by Buddhists in Burma as a way to blow “lol religion of peace” morons’ minds.

Yeah, but a LOT of people think of Buddhism as an enlightened exception. This is a reminder that it really isn’t.

This is where toxic masculinity or “that alpha male shit” is a problem. It’s also something I never understood growing up. It’s also cyclical.

All of these checkmarks don’t really do anything to help anyone. What they do is mask insecurity with desperate grasps. A guy feeling undesirable might act out, and that’s…

I have an infant son, and I think about this a lot. Everywhere I look, I see boys and men being awful people, and I have no idea how to raise my son not to be like them. If I try talking to others about this, I mostly get a pat on the head and a dismissive “the fact that you worry means you’ll do fine!” which is such…

This, among others, was a great fear of mine when I had a boy. I have been a single father for 5 years, to my now 12-year-old son. Our first talk was about inappropriate touching, when he was entering school, at age 5. He learned the mechanics at 7, along with the rules of consent and agency. Now, we still talk, A…

Respect for women and self-respect are not mutually exclusive. Ya fuckin weirdo.

I realize some moms are going to pat themselves on the back thinking, “Not MY Jaden,” but I’m pretty sure these dicks were concealing it from the greater Asheville community, so don’t assume you know what precious baby boy does in his private time. You are the LAST PERSON ON EARTH he will tell.

Son of a mother like yall. All I have to say is that she and I agree that I turned out pretty well. She remembers that in first or second grade that my sister and I complained she didn’t make cupcakes for all of our school functions. I dont. I do remember that one of my mother’s colleagues told me when I was picking…

See it as an opportunity. I have boys - I am raising them to be feminists and I am working my way through uncomfortable but necessary conversations. I think things like this need to be discussed specifically - even though it is uncomfortable.

I have a son. Boys and men can be amazing humans. I keep a constant and open dialogue with my son and we talk about these issues a lot. It is absolutely possible to raise our boys to be good, supportive men. And in fact I think the world would do well to have even more boys born to feminist mothers.

I feel you. When my baby boy was 8 months old, I started telling him that he wasn’t entitled to women’s personal space or time. No idea if it’s taken yet.

Idris Elba should be in everything.

“I guess this is funny, for a movie about women. But how can a guy be into it? Hey, it should be porn! Why else would you have four “sounds hot on paper” women in a movie together? To TALK or something? What do you think you are, human beings?”

Enh, you would think so, but sadly not always the case. Remember Cherice Moralez in Montana? http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/28/jus…. I definitely agree that this is the fucked up other side of rape culture, but we’re basically shit on arresting, prosecuting, and sentencing rapists no matter the gender.

I felt the same way until I moved to Denmark. I appreciate America much more now. So do most of the other Americans living here. It’s all a matter of perspective.
