I want to hug my IUD so bad right now.

Really what they should do is have the baby essentially a piggy bank that requires X amount of dollars per day on diapers, wipes and food. If the bank doesn’t get it’s daily deposit in time, you fail the class and lose the money.

Ugh, these fucking dolls. They don’t work because the idiots behind them are the same jerks who insist on death penalties and mandatory minimums. The whole premise is wrong. Teenagers don’t have unprotected sex and then get pregnant and become teen mothers because they are unaware of how to avoid pregnancy and how…

MAYBE INSTEAD OF TRYING TO SCARE TEENS OUT OF PARENTHOOD WITH CUTE BABIES WE SHOULD, I DUNNO, GIVE THEM PROPER SEX ED AND ACCESS TO GOOD CONTRACEPTION. Just a thought.

I dreaded getting that doll for four years. I would have gladly written a paper instead.

It seems like this might definitely minimize what it’s like to have a baby rather than be any kind of real indicator of what it’s like. It cries and you have to carry it around are kind of...not the bad parts, really?

When I was in high school (this was circa 1997), I had the option of either taking that damn doll or writing a paper on some child-development related topic. I was the only person in my class who opted for the paper. This still baffles me.

Yeah I have to say I also laughed at the wonderment “Whyeee won’t she talk to us?” #1 Because Bernie, I had to search articles for positive Hillary commentary. The naïveté about Sanders was anti- Feminist even. #2 WTF would she want some 30yr old uttering the words “Bill Clinton’s sexual assaults” in question form. As…

It’s already been said in the comments but I’m going to rehash it anyway because apparently this is confusing: Jez has pretty much been anti-Hillary since the get-go. And I read Jez a lot! But it’s pretty funny how you want to be serious news when it comes to asking her only negative questions and yet there really is…

Well, but Jezebel isn’t without bias. It’s not the Hulk Hogan effect. It’s the Sam Biddle/Bernie bro effect. Stories that twist the reality of her actions are a constant thing here. Why would an interview be treated any differently? While it’s important to have good, strong interviews, the bias of your organization…

Well, when I went to the Jezebel panel at Politicon in LA in June, the two Jezebel panelists (I’m sorry, I can’t remember exactly which two writers were there) were basically shitting on Clinton the whole time and complaining that Bernie wasn’t going to win the primaries. The panelists also totally downplayed the fact…

BuzzFeed’s Another Round podcast praised her for never seeming to sweat.

Jezebel has spent to past year tearing the first woman nominee. Jezebel is of the ‘I’m so feminist that it doesn’t matter if a woman is ever president or even succeeds because representation is irrelevant and feminism is just another word for income inequality’ left. You deserve the wilderness.

I’d love love love to see that happen, too..... but let’s not pretend it’s a big mystery why it won’t.

Gee, maybe she doesn’t want to answer 500 variations of the question “Why aren’t you Bernie?” As I said elsewhere, you think her campaign wants softball questions, but maybe it is just that she doesn’t want to walk into an interview where everyone is basically hostile to her.

She is a serious person and your blog is faux serious whiny snarky and unrealistic. Sooo that’s probably why. Also you are related to Gawker and it likes to destroy people’s privacy. Sooooo that’s another reason.

Someone on her campaign looked at the primary coverage and came to the reasonable conclusion that giving an interview here was a lose-lose situation.

Counterpoint: I thought it was well-done and an accurate representation of how Hillary supporters feel about her and the hypothetical scenario presented in the storyline. I didn’t find it cringe worthy and loved it.

I thought it was funny and fit Ilana’s character perfectly.
