This article is a great reminder to me why I stopped pursuing comedy writing after finishing film school and why (despite many friends urging me to) I won't get back into that nonsense again. The industry is no longer about "good writing" and "talented writers" — but instead focuses on how many UCB classes a "writer"

Five.

Any relation to the Shirley Temple flick "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm"? I think it was also a book.

I thought it was just me.

She's projecting. I remember when the first "article" she wrote came out, and there was a lot of talk about how she was divorced and her husband remarried.

Nailed it. I found the article really offensive to both sexes; it paints women like desperate lonely cat ladies who are constantly worrying about the state of their Baby Boxes, and men as skirt-chasing dolts who only equate a woman's worth to the date on her birth certificate.

Number one is missing a very important "annoying girl who overshares about her significant other on social media" hashtag: #blessed

I've always bought gifts for boyfriends. Why wouldn't I? It would be so shitty if, on a day supposedly to "celebrate love," I left out the person who loved me most!

I hate them so much. So, so much. Their stupid TV show glosses over the very sexist, restrictive and abusive bullshit their "religion" teaches — which has essentially turned the family into something that "average" Americans think about and say, "Well, aren't they cute!"

I build the Internets and the whole hierarchy/functionality of it all stumped me. It's why I never read Valleywag. It's too hard to figure out.

Oh my god, my welder boyfriend showed me this a while ago — and why is it so true?!?!

Me: Masters degree, BFA both from Top 25 school

Breast cancer stole my grandmother away from me; it was over 15 years ago, and I'm still not over it, probably never will be.

Yo, Taylor Swift: I'm gonna be real with you for a minute.

I know, it's like if Studio 54 was set in space.

Space Mutiny is a very, very close second for me:

Yay! My friend is in the video and manages this band. They're really cool!

I think your MIL and my mother might be the same person.

What the hell?! I had the Fischer Price doctor kit, and it was a black bag with an image of a cartoon boy and girl playing together. (The horror!)
