Jessica Simpson: Got The D | Got The 3 | Got Out

Celebrity nonsense with a side of female reality. (No, it's not a basketball term.)

Within the raging wildfire that is American gender wars since about 2017, I have one friend (who ironically is high up in HR at a big company) who tells me sometimes that a lot of women want “the D and the 3.” No, that’s not a basketball term, although it could be. It refers to getting a man at a time when he still give you a good sexual performance (the D) and provide you three kids (the 3). At some point, the D will subside (age, interest, passive aggressive resentment) and the 3 will get older and start talking back. If the man in question doesn’t really do much in the way of “raising” the 3, then the man sometimes gets pushed out of the equation, and needs to find a 1-BR apartment to wield his D in the future.

Let’s quickly unpack this BS.
