We covered spanking and corporal punishment, but not the perspectives of other countries.

cool, thanks!

I don't know. I've got a MA in developmental psychology and i've been working with kids for about seven years now, and i still thought it was pretty cute. Parents are humans, from what i gather from the video this is her oldest kid, and it doesn't seem like he's been lying for very long. Don't parents get a learning…

you know what i love about jezebel? how hard it is to tell when someone is joking.

wait, countries have banned spanking? where?

to me, i think an emotional affair is harder to avoid. i got really close with a coworker a while back. working well together turned into joking around, which turned into private jokes, which turned into asking each other for advice, which turned into grabbing a beer together after work. i thought he was attractive…

i was a blue haired punk for most of highschool, and as a 25 year old professional i've been struggling to come up with a style that's appropriate but still feels like me. i don't think this is it. ah well....

haha, i definitely went through a phase as an independent adult where i ate ALL THE COOKIES BECAUSE DAMMIT I CAN! but luckily it passed and i'm becoming a much more functional human being. my parents went through their share of abuse, and honestly as i got older i realized they did the best they could. you can only do…

this. my parents would let little things build up and up and up until the tiniest thing set them off and they'd go on tirades for days. i never knew what would set them off so i lied about EVERYTHING.

even babies lie. they'll cry because they're bored and want you to come in and play with them and they've learned that you come into their room when they cry. people do what gets them positive rewards or help them avoid negative consequences, no matter what age. lying about eating some sprinkles to avoid a spanking?…

it seems like a reasonable approach, right? give them a few chances to come clean and then punish them if they lie. i can see why so many people do it, but your approach makes a lot more sense.

seriously. i did this with some cookie dough once when i was a kid, and my mom fucking lost it on me for HOURS. then, after she'd tossed around a bunch of my shit and screamed at me for most of the night, she stormed out of the house saying, "at least i don't beat you like my parents did to me!"

i just like that once in a while a day comes around where we make it a point to be a little extra nice to each other. yes, we should be doing that all year long, but sometimes it's nice to have a reminder. also, presents and orgasms. i can never argue with presents and orgasms.

i am ludicrously curvy so suits and tuxes don't work on me without a LOT of skilled tailoring. it's possible that this is the reason I love girls dressed androgynously, i know i could never pull the look off myself.

it might be a step up from their current sex advice column.

i would be just as bothered by it. i think women tearing each other down keeps us from rising to our full potential just as much as men not taking us seriously.

i love a woman in a tux!

unrelated, but i'm currently planning a wedding. like other brides, i enjoy looking at pictures of other weddings to get inspired. as it turns out, every wedding where i really love the details and the decor and the fashion seems to be a lesbian wedding. must be something about having two brides, i guess. that, and…

agreed. i get compliments on my curls all the time.

i'm 5'10". high heels do not make me look lovely and feminine, they make me look like a drag queen.
