Aaron Sorkin Writes Sweet Father’s Day Letter To His Daughter, Sort Of Admits He’s Screwing Up

Aaron Sorkin may have caught a lot flack for his depiction of ladies in The Social Network, but in an open letter to his young daughter Roxy, the father suggests that he’s quite attuned to at least some of the plight of growing up female. More specifically, raising his daughter in a hotbed of body issues, hyper plastic surgery, wealth obsession, and all within the shadow of the ever looming entertainment industry.

American Dads Aren’t Taking Paternity Leave Due To Super Lame Office Daddy Stigma

Other countries may have mandated paternity leave, but here in the United States we’re just begging for the basics, like decent maternity leave. Companies like Yahoo that give new daddies eight weeks of paid time off are in the minority on this side of the ocean. But even among the Lean In crowd’s male partners, specifically men who are privileged enough to have access to this type of leave, dudes aren’t taking it. And it all comes back to being taunted at the water cooler by their colleagues. More »

You Really Need To Know That Farrah Abraham Masturbates To Her Sex Tape

Break out Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham is pushing self promotion of her own sex tape to new heights. Not only did the reality star awkwardly navigate the whole “this is my private sex tape that leaked OOPS now it’s a porno for you to buy,” but she famously outsold sex tape pioneer Kim Kardashian.

Woman Who Was Desperate Enough To Abort Her Full Term Baby Gets A Less Harsh Sentence

A mother of two from the UK was seemingly so desperate to not be pregnant that she reportedly ended the pregnancy herself a week within her due date. Police have determined that the married mother suffers from no mental disorders, but she does have a fraught history surrounding this particular pregnancy as well as others. Perhaps that’s why her sentence was ultimately shortened from eight years to three and a half. More »

Kate Middleton’s Maternity Wear Is Cheap Enough For Mere Mortals

Kate Middleton‘s Royal Pregnancy has been predictably documented through her clothing choices. If the mother-to-be is not busting out of her coat when lookers-on are bump hungry than she is wearing incredibly chic pregnancy shawls. But a new trend is emerging in the biggest pregnancy to ever happen ever. You guys, Kate Middleton may be a duchess but she is not solely devoted to the fancy maternity gear. More »

Watch Dads Sob As They Feel Their Unborn Babies Kick Their Tummies

It seems Huggies has been working very hard trying to turn their whole daddy branding around. Ever since the company depicted fathers as bumbling idiots in a consequently pulled diaper ad, the diaper brand has been opting for potty training cheerleading and ambiguously non-gendered users of their diaper changing app. But a new advertisement depicting fathers as so emotionally invested in pregnancy that they’re weeping is perhaps their biggest attempt to counter dumb dad stereotypes.
