How about we leave the “slippery slope” out of this, because it isn’t necessary, and never is.

Ha, the other day I had a job interview so ran out and got a pair of pantyhose. It brought the years I spent pulling pantyhose up to only have it resettle mid-thigh rushing back! (I’m 5' 10" and was very grateful when it became OK to have bare legs all year round at the office.) 

I had the complete opposite reaction. There’s so much ‘how I got my body back in 6 weeks’ bullshit for celebs, I thought it was very honest of her to say it took over a year (more than the 9 months on/9 months off) and hard work to see the change she wanted to see.

I love her overuse of the word “we,” like her statements obviously apply to everyone. As someone who, like the author, fairly recently also made the decision to start focusing on my health, there is one thing I’ve definitely learned (about myself): exercising in yoga/fitted pants makes exercise easier and more…

As will progressives, judging from the statements I’ve heard on this site.

Oh honey, I am so sorry. That is a pile of suck and SUPER unfair and I hope you do have a few friends around to bitch about it to, as well as your therapist (although glad you have them).

That said... the other responses on this post may seem melodramatically disproportionate to one isolated incident, but you said,…

If a mother doesn’t feel that they will be capable of providing adequate care, or frankly any other reason why they wouldn’t want to carry that fetus to term then that’s her call. Period. The party of small government needs to take its own advice and stay the hell out of women’s decisions. Christian “morality” is a…

As the parent of a child with Down Syndrome and as a professional in early childhood intervention I can say this with a clear conscience.

I shouldn’t take you out of the greys but I can’t help myself. There is no “right to life.” You don’t just get to make shit up. Also, “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” is from the Declaration of Independence.

Welcome to the world of every domestic abuse victim before she gets murdered.

See my reply to the other comment!

Try this one on him:

Counterpoint- my jacked-up knee can’t do proper heels for long, and this gives me a non-flats option for work.

Got a good one for you:

Really, the only reason we have kids is to embarrass and/or hassle them relentlessly once they get to a certain age. Mine’s 18 and hideously embarrassed by us daily. GOOD TIMES! Keep up the good work!

He probably didn’t even care about their authenticity, but only about taking advantage of his privileged position. And when she wouldn’t play along, he got all vindictive and nasty. So typical!

So my 7 month old looked like an 80 year old man until like, 3 months ago. When people would say “oh he’s so cute” i’d say, no he’s not, you don’t need to lie to me. He looks like an old man and a snapping turtle. He’s super cute now though. I don’t think you can get an accurate read until at least 6 months.

Fuck these people and their stupid fucking shorts.

Years ago before social media some friends threw a party so we could meet their new baby daughter. The mother said, “She acually looks a lot like her grandfather, she has his blue eyes.” One of my friends muttered, “She looks a lot like she is a grandfather.”

My husband’s cousin’s daughter looked like Antonin Scalia when she was an infant. Not a cute Super Court justice, not a cute baby.
