This is how I’m hoping to get to age 30 without ever being asked to be a bridesmaid. So far, so good!

Thank you. This was truly poignant.

This is so cool!

Go see it! I love horror movies and are pretty much the only movies that I watch, but The Woman in Black scared the shit out of me and I’ll never watch it again. Get Out is fantastic, not at all like The Woman in Black, and is a must see. Dooooo it!

This is exactly my problem with him and the space he takes up. I actually enjoyed a post about the Olympics (I aggressively don’t give a shit about sports) and I realized that it was because all the comments were ladies speaking passionately and cheering a woman athlete on, without a single MD post in sight.

So true!

I’m white but also have 2b/2c hair and I hear you on the in-between-ness. I cut it all off many years ago because I was tired of trying to manage it. Now I’m letting it grow out and it’s so hard to find styles that are professional but low-maintenance.

This show was on point. Happy to have you back!

Menstrual cups are not for everyone and I’m pretty certain that every single person reading this site has heard of them before. “Save up for a month” foh with that smarmy shit. Go splain somewhere else.

Not everyone wants a menstrual cup and no one owes you a reason why.

You act as if people with schizophrenia aren’t able to adhere to a strict schedule without constant monitoring. That isn’t always true and it’s stigmatizing to generalize about things like this.

You are the only person allowed to do red carpet roundups from now on. I died laughing like 4 times.

I strongly agree with this if you still would like to go.

I have experience with this. My younger brother has bipolar (as do I, but I forced our neglectful mother to take me to a psychiatrist after 3 years of symptoms whereas she and our dad were willing to ignore my brother’s symptoms). I had to force my parents to bring him in after he became psychotic on a family vacation.

I think the best way to get out there is to figure out a way to accept that rejection can be a blessing. If someone is going to be turned off by something, it’s a good thing to know that up-front and they’re doing you a favor by passing you by so you don’t waste your time. Get a bit more comfortable with rejection…

1. Do you want to go, despite all the family weirdness and having to travel with your mom? If not, there you go. If so, I’m honestly a big fan of just asking someone in the wedding party if not the groom himself if you’d be unwelcome. I think you could write an email that sincerely congratulates him on his upcoming…

I also have friends like that. They consider themselves feminists and say that their bf/husband isn’t that bad, mostly a good dude but hung up on some things. Then a few years go by and they’re so invested in this shitty dude that they won’t leave. A few more years go by and either they are a miserable broken record…

People break up their families for stupider reasons than not wanting to have a bigot raise their children.

1. A lot of Jezebel readers don’t read The Root (although they should).

I feel like (white) feminist spaces don’t talk about how, by sleeping with/marrying/having kids with racists and bigots, those women are essentially rewarding those dudes despite them being horrible. I don’t think women are responsible for their boyfriend’s/husband’s opinions but staying with them is sure as fuck not…
