I’m sorry, but I couldn’t pass this by. There’s a lot of misleading information about adoption here. First, $40,000 is an upper-limit for private adoption and is most relevant when talking about foreign adoption. Private adoption from a non-profit will be about $10-25,000. That’s steep, but when you consider a round…

Child of older parents here! I gotta say: it’s a raw deal for lots of big and small reasons. Do you know how scary it is for your mom to start showing signs of Alzheimer’s when you’re not even 25? None of my grandparents lived to see me graduate college. Three died within fourteen months of each other during my time…

I love the zumba/hip hop videos on Youtube by Lauren Fitz (CLUB FITz). She does routines to really current, popular music. It’s moderate cardio and a lot of thigh+booty exercises.

I’m really digging this judgemental, insulting, cooler-cuz-I-care-less-about-being-cool-than-you, brand of feminism Jezebel is espousing lately. I’ve always wanted to make fun of people for the names, often steeped in cultural tradition, that their parents give them. You’re completely right; oh eminent feminist…

What I find strangest about your comment is that you’re implying that ONLY moms name their kids. Everyone I know has done it jointly or done a “mom names this one, dad names the next” deal. Indeed, naming is the one “getting ready for baby” activity men routinely take part of.

This comment will be doomed to the greys, but here I go anyways.

Of course, because this post criticizes Jezebel and its sloppy, inconsistent brand of feminism, it’ll never get out of the greys.

Why does Jezebel and a fair percentage of its commenters hate weddings, and by extension, brides? (Or is it hate brides and weddings by extension?) It smacks of sexism. I get that people expend a lot of energy and money on an event that *could* be simple, quick, and cheap, but you could say the same thing about a lot…

That’s on brand for the majority of Jezebel writers and the commentariat.

Why does everyone hate flying so much? Maybe I fly ofteb enough that I’m just riculously used to it, but I love flying. All I do is read and sleep on the plane. I only have one horror story involving an airline I have vowed to never fly again. I typically fly Southwest and loooove them. I don’t get the hate.

That’s some next-level rhetoric you got there. I agree, this girl’s behavior is ugly. I still think my original point stands: image-snarking an average-looking girl because you hate her opinions is decidedly unfeminist and not constructive.

She’s genuinely just an average-looking woman. Calling plain women ugly is a huge contributer to the sky high beauty expectations women face. We’ve redefined 5’s and 6’s as 2’s. Take it from someone whose ex consistently called movie stars average, that’ll affect girls’ self-esteem like crazy. And you, who proclaims…

“This is a perfect illustration of the fact that pretty people do have problems—particularly when you fear that being pretty is all you’ve got.” Whoooooa. Where does the advice-seeker ever say she’s worried that all she has to offer is looks? I checked the source, she never mentions that at all.

I think calling it a Student Union is a bit misleading, both on the group’s part and the article’s. Student Unions, and all other official clubs, go through an approval process and are constantly monitored. This group’s only tie with NYU is that all of its members come from NYU. There’s a world of difference between a…

I once got in an argument with a guy and said I think surrogates are grossly under-priced. The guy asked me why. I said pregnancy is awful and that I wouldn’t carry a child for anything less than a million dollars. This is the only thing Kim Kardashian and I have in common.

This article (and its title!) are disgustingly irresponsible. This is not feminism. Let’s start first with the false assumption that the daycare caused the infant’s tragic death. With no cause of death, this can’t be proven. It also can’t be said that the infant wouldn’t have died under his mother’s care. Infants with…

Though I’m not a fan, I have a real soft spot for Bieber. He’s got issues, but I would too if people said about me the kinds of things they say about Bieber. The poor guy has been legitimately bullied by hundreds of thousands of people, since he was fifteen. After his DUI, so many people signed a petition to get him…

My biggest problem with your statements is you’re doing exactly the same thing you jumped on the other poster for doing: you’re presenting one narrative as the only narrative. To me you’re suggesting that any rape victim who doesn’t need intense psychological care was only sorta raped. It’s like the argument that only…

What a strange article. It’s like the author started with the point he wanted to make (tech-bros are douchebags) and worked backwards until he found people willing to provide the quotes needed. The article acts as though tech-bros are the only driving force behind gentrification ( as someone with an Urban Studies…

“If someone got over it with just a little therapy, not years hospitalization for PTSD that makes them wish for death, then they weren’t that traumatized.”
