I am a white woman in a relationship with an Indian man, and I see the exact behavior the author references in my fiance. We are together because we love each other, but have had frank discussions about race, his upbringing, and his feelings about brown women. He is the first generation of his family to be born

I hear what you're saying, but as a woman who has been thin my whole life and who has undergone a 25 pound weight gain the last year and a half (only 5'1", so pretty significant), I've had to do a lot of work this year around fat not equaling a negative thing. Yes, I am fat right now- my clothes show it, pictures

Same here, getting my Master's in two weeks and I will personally slap anyone from my cohort that does this. Get on with it, so we can get out and party, where you may then take your selfies. I'll even do you one better, and take a picture of you, mofo.

I was JUST talking about this with my sister. She thought it was gross that I still had underwear from seventh grade (I'm now 27).

I read your comment, saw what you did, and if the subject matter of the original article was not of the nature that it was, I would have really enjoyed it. You write in an above comment "The one where you take on a person who believes more or less the same things about rape and rape culture as you...because you

I do, and indeed it is not. But did you not know that when you hit a certain income bracket you become an honorary psychologist?

Well, to be fair, I interpreted the article to say that the customer's mother had called for the firing, not the actual customers. I think it could totally be possible that neither of the customers' desired that and that his mother was having a mama bear moment after seeing her son go through life being discriminated

That may be, but it just was not good. My sister and I actually asked my brother if we could leave before it was over.

Sally here as well.

Well Trading Spaces the Musical would be a whole different deal. That I would be into.

I was spending the first overnight at my new boyfriend's place. We had done the deed before but this was our first sleepover. Starts out really romantic, things are going well, clothes off, foreplay and all that jazz, and finally sex. As we're having sex, his phone goes off, and he dutifully ignores it. It goes

You haven't lived until you've seen Paige Davis from Trading Spaces in an off-broadway production. When I was in high school and my sister and I were visiting our brother in Pittsburgh, he took us to see a production of The Sound of Music starring her. The best and most memorable part was when she almost twirled off

Maybe that's what happened to Self's editors. Sent it off to publication and then "what does that woman's shirt say?" lol

How responsible of you! Same here. But apparently the right answer is unprotected sex, getting pregnant, and then having your child lead a less than ideal existence (due to emotional, situational or monetary concerns).

I did not realize she'd had two. Thanks for the tidbit :)

I think her story sucks slightly more though, cause turns out it was a giant tumor wah wah wah

"No, you dumb-ass" Did you just create a new term? Quick tweet it out, before someone else does!

Oh, you mean you haven't been studying??? If you want I can lend you my Victims of Hideous Crimes (TM) Flashcards. From the Sumerians to Millenials, we have got your hideous crimes covered. Now be a bastion of human decency, quit your job, kiss your loved ones goodbye and learn the 1 billion names of hideous crimes'

sigh, I know, but there's this part of me that likes to hold on to hope for this big crazy world we live in. At least I can go to bed now knowing I tried (and clearly failed, based on his response), but tried none the less

Who's angry? I calmly stated the reason for my opinion, something you've yet to do, and ended my post with a statement denoting that others might feel differently. Just because I disagree with you doesn't mean I'm somehow insulting you (ironically something author of the original post mentioned that men were incapable
