I guess he's not aware that even "white" has diversity in it. And white Europeans have plenty say about the other types of white people on their continent.

March 15, not the best day for oppressive ruling folks, historically speaking. Let's hope history repeats itself, shall we?

As someone with a graduate degree in clinical psych, I cannot imagine the levels of dissociation one would have to go through to distance themselves from all the cross-cultural perspectives that are taught in almost every course.

What, god damnit, white pride day (refuse to capitalize that) is on my wedding anniversary??? BOO. BOOURNS. Guess I have to stop making fun of my friend who got married on 4/20. Sigh.

...and what if I have a Chris O'Dowd fetish? Where's MY store???

How many chemicals are in botox and/or performing plastic surgery.

Let's not forget, Gaga had him on tour with her for months to shoot her coffee table book. It caused me to doubt her, even though the book was awesome ( I got it for fifteen bucks on amazon). Who could hang out with that weirdo for all that time? He's such a creeper and every time I see those dumb glasses, I want to…

How embarrassing! The printers fucked up and omitted "No Access To". I hope she realized the mistake quickly and used a sharpie to fix it.

I was just going to say something like this. Not defending the behavior, but a very likely scenario is:
1) Mark was a jerk
2) Friend group wants to ditch Mark
3) Mark is finally comfortable to go through reassignment surgery (or comes out, or breaks his arm, or gets cancer, etc)
4) Friend group feels like they will be…

Yeah, I was thinking that sounded like a rather melodramatic reaction to not being invited to a spa day.

probably because LW2 knows that marina and other people will assume that the reason they don't want marina there is because of her transition, when in fact it's about marina's history with LW2 and the other girl, and how to best address that?

I avoided this problem by wording my RSVP cards thusly:

Honestly, the person who threatens to ditch the entire social group because they're left out of a single outing is the one who sounds toxic. That level of drama isn't surprising, given her lack of boundaries if a third party had to lay down the law to get her to stop harassing the LW. Sometimes, it has nothing to do…

I think we can all understand the discomfort felt about previous experiences with Marina when she was Mark. I would certainly not be getting naked with someone who was lewd toward me. I also would not be getting naked with an ex. From what I read, that seemed like the main issue at hand, not, in fact, that she had…

Dude, my friend's crazy cousin RSVP'd with her boyfriend who was not invited, and then hand wrote on the RSVP card that they wanted the vegan option. There wasn't a vegan option.

NO. I refuse to believe this story because it makes my brain bleed.

I am in the midst of getting RSVPs back and this is a fucking THING! I made my husband call his friend and explain he couldn't invite someone (his friend isn't even dating anyone—he was going to bring a stranger to our wedding). But for most of the people I haven't said a word; I just silently fume when I see that…

As someone who recently planned one of these wedding things, the rule was that anyone invited to a pre-wedding event (bachelor party, shower, etc.) needs to be invited to the wedding. I can't even believe that the boyfriend is HOSTING the bachelor party and not invited to the wedding. That is just beyond rude.

Also I re-read and it seems like the cake was not in fact her gift, but rather just a favor she's doing the couple to help them with their budget? If that's the case they really are wrong and I don't blame her for feeling angry enough to back out entirely. I like what someone else said about sending the cake but not…

I think the boyfriend throwing the bachelor party, but not being invited to the wedding, is a little strange. I've never heard of someone being involved in actual planning of those events not even being able to go to the wedding (I mean, that's a wedding-party-member responsibility, really) and I think it's a little…
