Some women have more success than others pumping. Just like some mothers have more success etting children to latch or producing milk in general (there’s a reason we used to use wet nurses and that infant mortality was higher...). People forget that despite it being natural, it’s not necessarily a smooth working…

SERIOUSLY.

Seriously.

“I don’t need to see that.”

“Well, you fucking idiot, my kid does need to eat.”

Right? Isn’t the obvious answer “then don’t fucking look, you moron”?

Uhh, #momgoals anyone? If I ever have a little one I’m going to see if I can twirl the kid off my nipple like pasties in a saucy Vegas show.

Like no one has ever come up to me and said ‘HEY, HEY! Have you seen my tit in my kids mouth yet? HAVE YOU? LOOOOOOOOOOK.’

So avert your fucking eyes, Wendy.

I often smart off about how I don’t know why the good lord gave him eyes or a brain if he had no intention of using them.

As a uOttawa student who has heard both sides, I can tell you right now that the yoga classes were not cancelled. They have been put on hold for review, basically to see if they can be made more accessible to students with disabilities, and are returning in the winter semester (January-April). The email with this…

I mean, it’s highly subjective but it seems (to me, but I am an outsider) that a fair amount of yoga practitioners get caught up in the ‘eastern mystisicm’ thing & start wearing bindis and henna and all sorts of other forms of cultural appropriation.

In an ideal world, cultural appropriation would only be called out if it was someone who expressed something racist or discriminatory about another culture.

I kinda actually agree with them? I mean, it’s highly subjective but it seems (to me, but I am an outsider) that a fair amount of yoga practitioners get caught up in the ‘eastern mystisicm’ thing & start wearing bindis and henna and all sorts of other forms of cultural appropriation. Which is pretty gross. So from…

When you really look at it, a fair amount of “deliberate incompetence” is actually blackmail/emotional abuse. How many times have you heard a man, or a third party speaking for a man, joke about how they’ll gladly watch the kids, and they won’t let them burn the house down either. (The punch line is always different,…

“Whether it’s picture day for the child, an eye appointment that must be made, or thank-you cards that must be sent, usually it’s women who track all this stuff.”

You don’t get what “silent work” is. Silent work isn’t work that you don’t talk about. It’s work that’s not recognized or acknowledged as work. Work that can be outsourced to a handyman or a mechanic is not remotely equivalent to managing the emotional health, wellness, activities and calendars of everyone in the…

THANK-YOU. Recognizing the issue and asking IS part of the work. If all a woman had to do was ask, everything would be fine. Why should it even be up to the woman to ask, the man should be expected to recognize the need.

I find men to be very emotional, it is simply not called “being emotional” when they flip out and get angry. The male emotional reaction to things is considered completely rational. The weird, paranoid fragility of masculinity is also not called an emotional reaction, when it clearly is. On top of that, women are not…

Emotional expectations for men are created by men. Emotional expectations for women are also created by men. Feminists are working on this, but if you want to see change, women aren’t the people you need to snark at.

I’m sooooooo sorry. :( I don’t think any kid should be expected to know that their teacher is a racist shitbag. You did your best for what was expected of you, and luckily you ended up with some great teachers to make sure it all worked out in the end!

Sorry, this turned out super long winded but...
