Marriage has a PR problem today, and some of that is because a bunch of anti-marriage myths keep proliferating despite being completely untrue. Today, I argue that most marriages today are actually pretty good.

Today I write about how the 2010s body positivity movement did nothing to improve teen girls' mental health and body image--in fact, the toxic 2000s beauty standards just festered and got worse on social media. www.cartoonshateher.com/p/2000s-beau...

An example of a ridiculous thing that is now used as a reason to resent your parents: having been subjected to "threats," aka, consequences. It's hard to parent when our kids are up against this.

Even if your child doesn't go no-contact, there is a lot of less drastic but still miserable gray area around it. People are given increasingly small reasons to put their parents in this area.

I've been working on this one for a while because it's honestly just really embarrassing, but part of what informs my parenting is how easily I see other adults blame and resent their parents for small things. I want to give my kids as few reasons as possible to hate me. Link in replies.

My husband and I finally tried out Fair Play, the game intended to make invisible labor visible and to equitably divide domestic labor. Our experience was interesting since my husband is the neurotic one. www.cartoonshateher.com/p/bad-husban...

Today I wrote about the Thoughtful Gesture Industrial Complex--new things people are expected to buy to be good spouses, partners or parents--and the fact that almost all of this is astroturfed from TikTok.

No matter how progressive you are, the most important thing to be is Hot. Your points are invalid if you are not Hot. You must constantly signal that you are Hot, even if you're just campaigning for a NYC mayoral candidate.

My take on the idea that "boyfriends are embarrassing" is that pretending to be indifferent or hateful toward men is often just another way of signaling that you're hot--so hot that you don't even have to like men to get their attention.

One of my favorite fun facts is that in 2006 Tucker Carlson was on MSNBC doing a segment about asexuality. I've been told this isn't ideal for the "get to you know you" game on the first day of work though?

Today, I wrote about how the loneliness epidemic isn't about men, or women, or even how society is built, but about choices we all make every day to avoid socialization, effort, or embarrassment--and how it's too easy to make these choices.

I thought I hated being the sexual aggressor because I was unconfident with my body. But even after I learned to love my body, I still hated being the one to initiate sex or (God forbid) REQUEST a sex act for my own enjoyment.
