Now when people ask me when I’m having a baby (got married in May, not planning to reproduce, ever), I say, “Once someone tells me how babies are made!” That usually shuts them up, because that’s when (THAT’S when) they realize they are asking me, “when do you plan on carrying to term the byproduct of your husband’s…

Why haven’t you had kids? That’s why.

FUCKING THANK YOU! Honestly it bugs the HELL out of me when people do that. It’s none of anyone’s damn business when or IF people have kids.

Also, never mention that teachers are paid for all that time they work. They receive a yearly salary like everyone else (although some choose to receive their money spread over 9 months instead of 12 giving the appearance of working for “free” during the summer), some of their work just happens to occur outside of the…

Wait, what? Teachers generally have the summer off from teaching (unless they’re teaching summer school), which would be a minimum of two months (8 weeks) for most teachers, unless I’m mistaken. I don’t know any other profession that gets that much time off. Police officers only get 6 weeks of furlough, and most…

PHRASING!

This. But we all know who wins the Facebook martyr-off: stay at home moms.

I would like to start out by saying that I know and love many nurses (my mom was one for 30+ years), I admire and respect the job they do, and Joy Behar is an idiot. Nurses are awesome!

I have to be honest that I’m getting annoyed with a certain segment of parents who see parenting as the hardest, most noble thing ever. That no person’s life can be completed unless they have children. That motherhood is the highest honor for a woman. If that is what someone wants for themselves, great but understand…

I agree. I just said I thought it was pretty to keep from saying what I was really thinking, which is that Erin is going to a formal event for grown-ups, not the Renaissance Faire.

Ya don’t ;)

This is shady, but I came genuinely excited to read the comment ideas and my takeaway is “Oof, there’s a taste vacuum happening here.”

where are you from, 2002?

(not a bad thing, come to think of it. I’d rock that shit.)

Yeah. I think she was trying to write a poem, and I feel bad that she’s A. Really unwell, and B. Probably felt like this was a way to express her soul and it’s getting heavily made fun of.

Perhaps they should’ve asked some lower key women, someone more on par with Trevor Noah

The high contrast/bright lights/whatever is the aesthetic of this photo makes it basically impossible to tell that Trevor Noah and Larry Wilmore are not white dudes.

I don’t want to give too many identifying details, but in addition to other weirdness, his pubic hair was allegedly as long and fine as the hair on my friend’s head.

Also, now that more women are more educated, I suspect more individuals prioritize having a partner who challenges them intellectually. My husband and I have a similar (though not identical) education level, and I think we would both be frustrated if we were partnered with someone whose education level was much lower…

One question about that study saying that people are increasingly choosing mates from a similar socio-economic class....isn’t that just because in 1960 women didn’t attend college at the same rate as men, and even if they did, they were unlikely to earn high salaries?

The world needs more Rachel Dratch.
