Not Only Did I Not Breastfeed, I Didn't Even Try

Madison Metricula

People are super weird about breastffeding opinions. Wow to heap on the pressure. Also, I drank Alex's breast milk one time. It was pretty good.

Phyllis Schlafly Has Really Outdone Herself This Time

Madison Metricula

The gist: If we close the gender wage gap, then women will have a harder time finding husbands who make more than them, and marriage will END AS WE KNOW IT.

I would love to make more money than Richard because /then we would have more money/.

Activist Monica Jones Found Guilty of "Manifesting Prostitution"

Madison Metricula

All other things aside, "manifesting prostitution"? It sounds like the kind of thing someone has to get "arrested" for in a porn set up.

It Isn't Jim Bob Who Keeps Impregnating Mrs. Duggar--It's CAPITALISM

Madison Metricula

It is an interesting point that their family business--now being handed down through the generations of Duggars--is having kids.

The problem that needs to be fixed is not kick all the girls out of YA, it’s teach boys that stories featuring female protagonists or written by female authors also apply to them. Boys fall in...

Madison Metricula

Once you start tallying, it's amazing how many "neutral" stories/items feature boys and the others are "for girls". That's what all this Frozen/Hunger Games/Divergent mania is so fun! Girls aren't the only ones buying these books and movies.

The Six Best Items I've Stolen From Boyfriends and Will Never Give Back

Madison Metricula

I've stolen some of my favorite sweaters from ex-boyfriends. I'm not ashamed. One time I even took the book he was in the middle of reading JUST FOR SPITE. Though I did take down my curtains and hang the old ones back up and didn't make him move out of the house we rented together. THAT'S moral high ground at 25.

Socially Awkward Isn’t An Excuse

Madison Metricula

tl;dr: socially awkward isn't as excuse for being creepy and it's giving actual socially awkward people a bad name. Also, there's an awesome facebook message screen cap that hits super close to home after being a barista.

Shouldn't the Breast Pump Be as Elegant as an iPhone and as Quiet as a Prius by Now?

Madison Metricula

I know I joke about the continued perpetuation of patriarchal discrimination against women, but if it had to do with penises or something we'd have worked this out by now. Even popular vibrators aren't properly designed. If the rotating beads are at the tip instead of the base, it's useless rotating beads. There are more nerves in the lower part of the vaginal canal, people!!

Shouldn’t the Breast Pump Be as Elegant as an iPhone and as Quiet as a Prius by Now? http://t.co/0emonCpoQw Yes. Yes it should.

The Scientific Quest to Prove Bisexuality Exists

Madison Metricula

Money quote:
“This is what happens when you’re stuck in a car with bisexual activists,” said Brad S. Kane, who was behind the wheel. “More bisexual-themed puns and plays on words than any human should have to endure.”

Bi research history. Sad that it took so long to get started and that people still have to be convinced. http://t.co/YfANSkLPA4
