Doling out the B word for women who don a bikini while pregnant is derogatory considering what actually merits the word “brave.” Saving people from a burning building, confronting an attacker, and running a marathon as an amputee all come to mind. The whole leaving the house without makeup/ bikini while pregnant narrative is all water from the same condescending Lady well. More
Pubic hair. The number of stories that I’ve read addressing it in the past few weeks is boggling my mind. Apparently I live in a happy little bubble – because pubic hair has never really brought me any stress. I’ve never been on the receiving end of a Brazilian, had my vagina bedazzled, or slept with someone who insists I have a hairless vagina. It seems I may be in the minority, though. More
You guys remember the best time ever we had when those awesome DoucheBag DudeBros (Hashatg: #DouchebagDudebros) sent me all these great e-mails about the rape culture in Tarpon Springs and we all get to school them on rape culture and lulz were had by all? WELL, WE GOT SOME MORE! And this time it comes courtesy of one of my Twitter followers who posted this on my feed… More
I know there was a lot of backlash over the recent sexualization of Merida, the princess in Disney’s Brave. Parents signed petitions, wrote blog posts, and even got the creator to say how disappointed she was with the changes. But there’s one thing I need to know: where were these people to help Rainbow Bright and Strawberry Shortcake? More

1. The Wake Up
Head pounding, room spinning, wake up, groggily putting pieces together after debauchery of last night’s birthday celebration. Naked in bed. My fiancé beside me. Memory flash of him picking me up off of hallway entrance floor last night, carrying me upstairs, undressing me like a baby. OMG! FUCK! I have a baby! Dear god, what kind of mother am I? More
Beatriz, the 22 year old woman who was risking not only her life, but the life of her deformed fetus, is being prepared to receive an emergency C-section after El Salvador’s Health Minister approved the operation yesterday. Ultrasound images have shown that her fetus is developing with only a brain stem and has no chance of survival. This is amazing news, and I know that so many of you were also concerned about this situation after I wrote about it yesterday, and that you expressed so in the comments. When awful things in the world happens it really does help when readers take the time to discuss it, and I’m always considering points you all have made and things you have said. More
I realize that the tabloid business is generally always scraping at the bottom of the barrel, especially when it comes to following celeb parents and children. How many times can you realistically spin some copy off of Shiloh Jolie-Pitt‘s bangs? As it turns out, not nearly as often as you can print Kate Beckinsale and her “mini me” daughter stories.
In other equally breaking news, she’s Kate’s biological daughter. More
Dear Rebecca Martinson (a.k.a. “Deranged” Sorority Girl),
Today I read that you officially resigned from your post at Delta Gamma after an e-mail lambasting your fellow sorority sisters for “FUCKING UP” on the sorority job went viral last week. I’m not sure what your scholastic plans are at the University of Maryland, or if perhaps you already have that trusty college summer internship already lined up. I’m hoping that the publicity from last week has derailed your summer plans and that Delta Gamma’s loss is my gain. I would love to offer you a paid internship at Mommyish. More

As a writer on the Internet I get a lot of e-mails. A lot. Back in the day when I used to write for print I rarely got letters, but writing on the Internet is a totally different medium, and all our readers have to do is fire off an e-mail giving me their opinion on something I’ve written. I really love this part of my job, and even when someone disagrees with me I appreciate someone taking the time to do so in a polite, articulate manner. Plus, sometimes people send me placenta drawings. More
I’m a sucker when it comes to a bargain. Seriously. I’m the person that always falls for the two-for-one deals. I almost never need two of whatever it is I am buying, but I still bite. I’m thinking this is why I have just recently begun contemplating eating my placenta after the birth of my next child. The doula I am looking into offers free placenta encapsulation as part of her service. So naturally – I should do it, right? More
Gen. Mark A. Welsh III and Gen. Edward A. Rice, Jr. testified before the House Armed Services committee on Wednesday, trying to explain how sexual assault in the Air Force got to be so widespread. The two commanders were responding to the well-publicized scandal at Lackland Air Force base in Texas, where 32 instructors have been accused of sexual assault against at least 59 female recruits. These young women were volunteering to serve their country, to fight our enemies, and they were being thanked with molestation and rape at the hands of their superiors.
One would think that the focus of a hearing on rape in the military would be on the 32 men who felt justified in abusing their position of power and assaulting female subordinates. More
Recently, I got sucked into one of those silly, but very entertaining Yahoo lifestyle stories. There was a story about celebrities with long engagements. And, recently, of course, there was the movie The Five Year Engagement (which I haven’t seen yet…too busy seeing Wreck – It Ralph with a 9-year-old). More
