It's not easy being a Duggar woman.
Even as adults, they're not permitted to have any goals or desires of their own, and they're assigned to the role of endlessly making babies and supporting their husbands as the men pursue their dreams.
Not surprisingly, the outcome of Jed Duggar's race for the Arkansas State House was a bit overshadowed by other news stories that emerged that same week.
Sadly, despite all the blue-and-red map poking that occurred in early November, neither John King nor Steve Kornacki found a moment to zoom in on Arkansas' 89th district for a look at the highly-anticipated contest between Jed and Democratic incumbent Megan Godfrey. For shame!
Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar aren't having a great couple weeks.
First, daughter Jill gave an in-depth interview to People Magazine in which she hurled her parents under the bus, alleging they stole money from her and controlled her life to an abnormal and unhealthy extent.
Jill Duggar may be taking this rebellious thing a tad too far.
Over the past few weeks, the former reality star has been telling anyone who will listen -- via YouTube and via a revealing interview with People Magazine -- that her parents suck.
James Duggar joined Instagram this week.
Normally, that would barely be worth mentioning, but sudden social media participation is often a precursor for big news in the Duggar clan.
Given everything that's happened in the past few days, you might have a hard time believing that Halloween was less than a week ago.
Of course, that's equally hard to believe due to the fact that not much celebrating went on this year, due to the pandemic.
Well, we probably don't need to tell you, but the polls have been closed for nearly 48 hours now, and we still don't know who will be sworn in as president on January 20.
But we do know who the members of the Duggar family voted for -- or at least most of them.
Forgive the most obvious(ly awful) introduction in celebrity gossip website history, but:
As we've been documenting for awhile now, Jed Duggar had been counting on (there it is!) representing the people of Arkansas in the State House for the next two years.
Five years after Josh Duggar confessed to molesting a multitude of girls when he was a teenager, including his own sisters, the disgraced ex-reality star has been featured in a new selfie.

It's hard to believe, but it's been two years since John David Duggar married Abbie Burnett in a plane-themed ceremony.
In addition to aeronautic vibe, the occasion was different from the usual Duggar wedding in a number of important ways.
Last year, Jedidiah Duggar announced his candidacy for the Arkansas House of Representatives.
On the eve of the election, his opponent is skewering him for being a D-list reality star.
Experts predict that there might be a national baby boom in 2021 due to the amount of sheltering in place Americans have been forced to engage in as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
Of course, nothing much would change for the Duggar clan, as their baby boom has been going on for years, and there's no end in sight.
It doesn't take much to piss off old Jim Bob Duggar.
In fact, a pair of Levi's on a woman instead of a floor-length skirt is usually enough to do the trick.
Despite some fans hoping that Jeremy Vuolo would change his ways, he remains very controversial -- for good reason.
Now, fans are begging Jinger to recognize him for who he really is, and to show that she's better than he is.
If there's any member of the Duggar family who has a shot at shattering Michelle's record for number of lives created, it's Jessa.
Along with her husband Ben Seewald, Jessa welcomed her third child, a girl named Ivy, last year.
Back in September. one of strangest Duggar rumors in recent memory was confirmed.
During an episode of Counting On, TLC inadvertently revealed that Josh Duggar lives in a windowless warehouse along with his wife and children.
Late this summer, Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth welcomed their new baby.
Now, fans are asking if Joy is already pregnant with Baby #3.
The Duggar family is all about rules.
Jim Bob and Michelle strictly enforce guidelines regarding everything from how their kids dress to how they date.
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar may wanna turn away right about now.
Heck... they may wanna just turn off the Internet in general.
Anna Duggar could make many, many legitimate complaints about her in-laws.
After all, these are the people who protected Josh Duggar after he molested five young girls, a decision that led to her marrying a child molester.
Jill Duggar has come out swinging against her parents.
As you've very likely read by now, the former reality star decided to go public a few weeks ago with her estragement from various members of her famous family.
Jill Duggar wears normal clothes, sends her kids to real schools, and uses birth control. All of these have distanced her from her family.
But one of her latest posts, in context, makes it look like she may be feuding with one sibling in particular: Jana.
Jill has already split from her family and the orthodoxy of her parents in many ways.
It is no secret that she uses birth control. Now, she is explaining how she came to see that there's nothing wrong with it.
