It’s never the woman you know either. It’s never the opinionated, happy-seeming, confident woman being abused. It’s never the happy mother, the dedicated wife, the accomplished physician. That woman would never be abused. She would stop it. She would not put up with that kind of thing. Her upbringing didn’t…

I don’t think they can restrict them from wearing certain brands, but they can say something like “no sneakers or logos” as part of a dress code, which would allow then to effectively ban Nike, along with a lot of other shit.

Okay, I used to work in guidelines. Let me give a little context.

It took going on 50 years to get to Tiffany Haddish. You’d think that black women discovered stand up comedy around 2008 if you’re going by SNL not having one on. Ridiculous.

Her dress was fire and she should host every week for the next year. Then all other hosts need to be black women and woc. 40 years is a shame!

So far I’ve gotten:

“Take Joseph and Mary. Mary was a teenager and Joseph was an adult carpenter. They became parents of Jesus.”

One of these days I’m going to hit the Jello Belt jackpot and find a family with daughters named LuLaRoe, doTerra, and Noni.

“This is the bed you made, you have to lie in it.”

“Don’t make a big deal out of nothing” (in regards to sexual harassment at work) “Just find a rich guy and quit!” (in regards to career advancement) “You have a... few years left before it’s sad” (not being married at 26, told to me by a 65 year old unmarried man)

“Men don’t like ladies who drink beer.”

Always let the boys win.

My mother, who is typically very modern, and levelheaded informed me that “I was settling, by dating my bf”, and that “If you lost some weight in the middle, that you could meet a stellar guy.” My bf is perfectly fine, and I accept my belly.

Not really a piece of advice so much, but when I got married the second time someone said to me, “Oh good! Society doesn’t really think of you as an adult until you get married.” I was 37 at the time.
