Maybe everyone else will think this is shitty advice but: you know how they say that "timing is everything"? Well, to an extent, that is really true. If you have been with your guy for 4 years and neither of you is even *warming up* to a place to think about marriage (or living together, whatever the appropriate…

that is super shitty.

what happened to the awesome En Vogue ladies anyway?

This might seem random but you can vent to a therapist/counsellor all you want and they have to listen! Even if that's the only reason you "need" /want one, I have found in the past that it works.

Speaking of, when is Disney gonna have a short haired princess?! I want a punk rock princess!

I literally this week was wondering when Jezebel (as a place that often talks about female things that make you go "omg I never thought of that as a thing that everybody experiences!") might mention the whole washinglonghairinbuttcrack thing. It's just started happening to me after having it short for years and it's a…

oh, Clay. Clay clay clay

fair enough.

yeah. Sounds like a good rule! Wish I could tell my 16yr old self that...

(I am literally from a "farming community" - a very mixed race one though, where I had friends from lots of communities - so grew up naive about some of these "city" things.) I literally just thought it meant "broke down" or "beat…

Yeah. This is news to me as I have the worst baby hair situation going on!

I would never say Bey isn't a feminist myself, for the record, but I can't see how her being criticised must be by "(presumably) white women". That's so irritating.

Anybody digging this article will want to read Bettany Hughes' Helen of Troy (nonfiction) and Women's Work by Elizabeth Wayland Barber. Your welcome.

I know a few Air France flight attendants who would beg to differ with Depardieu:

This is just fucking creepy. UGH all over the place.

idk, I seem to be alone here but even though his freak out was out of line, dude gave what sounds like a sincere apology, copping up to the fact he over reacted. I meet more awful people who just harshly bump into me In the street every day, then carry on callously. This seems a bit of a low bar for earning a post on…

Feminism is "...a camp that treats any sort of sympathetic male as garbage to be treated with suspicion". Whut?

right? Think about the subway lines and constantly running water pumps working to keep the tunnels dry and....how is this even feasible. Insane on so many levels. Then again, in NYC especially, moment buys all sorts of batshit bullshit!

My theory (also surely bs!) is that women relate to the female victims, and men still see women as something to "protect" (well, if they're not exploiting us or whatever) so view them murders through that lens.

Hubby wears earplugs anyway (annoying if there are weird noises in the house or batshit early package deliveries for him - which there always are, yet conveniently I'm the only one who hears the doorbell! - but very handy for me going to bed later). And I wear something over my eyes anyway cause I like I it cave-dark…
