Neither party has made false accusations for financial gains. There was never an intent of physical or emotional harm.

How much has she changed? She has consistently said how much she has been inspired by her trips to Australia. In 2013, she wrote “To me, Aborigine Australians are the most natural people. They don’t live in the past or the future, but in the present. They have a story and meaning for everything.” That’s clearly well

Yeah, that’s about right. Aborigine is kind of like “Negro” or “coloured” in that it’s dated and anyone who still uses it is probably racist, but it was the accepted term once. I don’t know a single Black fella (that’s another term!) who calls themselves “Aborigine”.

I’m Australian and have heard a lot of this kinda weird insulting shit about how Indigenous Australians look. Like its so on the nose but it’s like people think who cares? They’re just a small group no one will care up here or something? I feel like too, if these people that say that kinda thing said it about many

She didn’t even try. Not even in the slightest did she try to see these people as people. She went in looking at them as alien beings. Non human, because they weren’t like her.

OK, but how many years has it been since Nick Denton has seen Suri?

totally read the headline as “the playboy mansion now officially belongs to twink” and honestly, thought that made more sense

I think you know where he’s going.

As a breast feeding mom I feel like I’m in a damned if you do / damed if you don’t situation. There is a ton of judgement for feeding a baby a bottle (god forbid if there is formula in it!) but if you have to breast feed your baby in public you’re some kind of activist hippie or, as the guy in Target yelled at a

Thank goodness he's ok - it would have been really ugly if he dyed.

Actually, from me you’re getting “dadsplaining” and “husbandsplaining.”

You asked why she couldn’t wait 10 minutes and received answers, and then complain that people are “momsplaining” at you? Charming.

That person 1) is not a parent but thinks babysitting makes her qualified to comment on other people’s children 2) let her niece wait for the bottle until she cried 3) thinks you can just put a baby on a shedule and plan your day around that. So I think we can safely ignore their advice about breastfeeding

100% this. I’m a first time mum to a 7 week old that I am breastfeeding, and I haven’t built up the confidence or courage to feed in public yet, mainly because I am terrified of some arsehole telling me off for doing so. The one time I ventured out of the house my bub got hungry (obviously) so I did everything I could

You linked to two unrelated articles. I’d love to see some real research that shows that people’s aversion to public breastfeeding is because of their fear of bodily fluids. All you showed was that people have an innate dislike of dirty things (shitty summary on my part). But breast milk isn’t a bodily fluid like

You’re getting a lot of momsplaining because you’re wrong and judgy. My son had a hard time latching on because of my flat nipples, and he would get easily frustrated because my milk took a little while to let down. If I didn’t start feeding him pretty close to when he announced he was hungry (which was on no sort of

As a never-to-be mom,

Why should an adult’s comfort come before a baby’s, though? Or secondly why should a single adult’s comfort come before that of the mother AND baby’s? It is an indescribably stressful experience to hear your child crying inconsolably, and if there is an immediate solution, why not take advantage of it? Nursing moms

It has nothing to do with babies “starving.” As a matter of fact, I’m nursing my daughter right now (at home), but I have no qualms about nursing in public. I don’t use a cover, either (I’ve tried but she hates it and I’m not going to wrestle a baby who has my nipple in her mouth). And while sure, the baby CAN wait,
