Same. I have a lot of very close male friends I made in college, and I feel way more comfortable talking about "life stuff" with them than I do the female friends I have.

Mmmm, I'l admit it's been a while since I read a Bible or went to Church — but I'm like 99.999% that "the Lord" said jack shit about whether or not gay people should get married.

Just curious why you haven't done it yet for tax purposes...? Wouldn't you get more money, especially by having a kid? (Not shaming, just curious. I only wanna get married for the tax breaks :) )

Mr. Laika and I want to elope. Badly. We already live together, and I'd love to have him on my health insurance and get a tax break for being legally married. I don't want or need a party.

You're getting a lot of hate, but stepping in to say you're totally and completely right. Sometimes, in order to have a serious discussion about "tradition," we have to acknowledge why and how the tradition exists in the first place. I think people are taking your observation way too personally, to be honest. (And…

ETSY!

You know what narrative I'm more interested in hearing? Brides who forgo the whole "bridal party" nonsense. There's something that doesn't seem to get a lot of coverage — even on sites like APW, which are supposed to be all about non-traditional nuptials. Everything seems ot be all about how awesome and wonderful and…

Nope, didn't know they weren't vaccinated until I got sick. I told the mother that they should be aware that I got whooping cough — and that's when she told me that "Oh, didn't we tell you so-and-so caught it from daycare? Blah blah blah."

What the fucking fuck? Way to victim blame! I was only 21/22 at the time and was up to date on any shots I needed to be up to date on. It's not like I was some feeble old fuck who hadn't been vaccinated since 1969.

Oh definitely not. I'd love to see the application numbers broken down. I can only speak from my personal experiences at this point — but, from that, I can tell you that at my last employer (major sports news website/network) once the only two (!!) female editors besides myself quit, I was the ONLY female working in…

LOLOLOLOL OK. Just keep going on and ignoring the fact that upholding bullshit standards for men does the entire male gender a disservice. Yup, just keep brushing aside the fact that a highly respected male journalist laid out exactly why men should receive and take paid parental leave. Whatever helps you sleep (and…

Also, as a J-School grad I should point out — 70% of the students in my top ranked journalism school, both undergrad and grad, are female. (This is across all mediums: TV, web, radio, print.) No shortage of interested parties.

I've only been in newsrooms for four years, but I've already found that to be true. It's a big reason why I left my last job — no female was promoted higher than the position of "desk editor" or "staff editor," the duties of which were often one and the same, just with a different title. Conversely, my male coworkers…

People still give me the look of "OMG WTF R U SRS" when I describe my male partner as a feminist. Their reactions are even more hilarious when the term comes out of his own mouth.

I thought I was the only one who considers her a bit of a "butter face." When I was working at [rival sports website that won't be named here], all my male co-workers would salivate over her. We had a Paulina Gretzsky gallery that would pull in millions of views a day. It's definitely only because she has large boobs…

As someone who got whopping cough from a pair of unvaxxed kids I babysat during the outbreak in LA 4 years ago — THIS. Fucking THIS.

THOSE ARE MY FAVORITES TOO!!

Partner and I desperately want to move to Europe when we're ready to breed, just because of how well parents are treated there. Sadly, he and I are both American citizens, so it would be pretty much impossible to live or work in the EU. It's something that depresses me on an almost daily basis :(

Same. At least, maybe, we can take solace in knowing that these attitudes appear to be dying out with "the youngins." I'm in my mid-20s, and most (re: most) of the guys I know would never say something as gross as this nonsense. My partner is a super feminist, and he has even said that he would love to be the…

How's that fedora working out for you, bro?
