Pretty much! I’ve seen more people whining about other people not liking Baby It’s Cold Outside than I’ve seen people actually complaining about Baby It’s Cold Outside.

I’m pretty sure that there’s a huge overlap between people who think Baby It’s Cold Outside is problematic and people who think Blurred Lines is problematic. The difference between the two is that as a Christmas song, Baby It’s Cold Outside gets played regularly (at least during the holiday season each year), so it…

Yeah, while I think I still base my decision to see a movie on the genre vs. who the main stars are (I’m not that into action or horror movies), if I was going to watch a comedy for instance, I’d probably be drawn to one starring more women than men, because I don’t need to watch another bro-fest comedy where the few…

Jane the Virgin! Despite the title, the show is fairly sex positive (emphasizes that people’s choices of when they become/are sexually active are their decision to make) and has one of the best abortion plot lines  I’ve seen on a TV show, if only because it normalizes abortion as opposed to making it some very…

I mean, considering he got fired, the school administration definitely doesn’t seem to tolerate his beliefs. What he doesn’t get is that people shouldn’t tolerate his bigotry.

The thing is though, is that when someone expresses opinions like the example mandery gave (Bill Cosby is bad, but Louis CK gets a pass), it makes you think, “Ok, so if my boss masturbated in front of me and I was too scared of losing my job/him harming me if I try to get him to stop, this person would not think I was…

Yep, and of course, with charities there’s the whole donors get mad when it looks like a charity has too much overheard, and may complain if their donations were going to salaries instead of direct service work issue. Except that in order for a charity to run effective and sustainable programs for the population they…

Yeah, when I was a teen, my neighbor’s chihuahua attacked me because I dared to stop on the sidewalk outside of their house to be nice and say hi to the neighbors while I was going on a bike ride. I mean, he didn’t really do any damage since his tiny little teeth couldn’t bite through my jeans, but still, he was…

Cabbage Patch Doll hysteria was definitely over by the time I was a kid, but my aunt remembers my dad (there’s an 11 year age difference between them) taking her to the store some time in the early 80s so she could buy one after saving some money up. She had a doll picked out and then some woman came over and just…

Honestly the way that my aunt (dad’s brother’s wife) acts sometimes, I’m surprised my mom can still manage to be nice to her, especially after the time she accused my mom of “falling down on the job,” because she was answering a question my dad asked before she finished helping clear the dishes after Christmas Eve…

The only reasons I’ve got for why a gay man would join the priesthood is if he was still super Catholic despite being gay and/or if he had no community outside of a conservative, Catholic one to turn to, and felt like going into a profession where you’re supposed to be celibate is a good way to get people to stop…

I mean, I would say even in roommate situations where everyone in the house/apartment is the same gender, once you’re out of college at the latest, it does come across as disrespectful to expect that your roommates will keep the place clean while you let your dishes fester in the sink for a week. It may not be…

Lol, my cousins and I freaked out one of our younger cousins because when he asked us if the hot buttered rum flavored seltzer he was drinking had alcohol in it, we jokingly said yes, but he believed us.

I’m reading the book on and off, but I noticed that it seemed like it was easier for me to read once I started the second part. The childhood section was just kind of a slog, tbh.

I definitely like both tea and coffee, but my first caffeine fix of the day needs to be coffee. Tea is what I drink when I need a tiny bit of caffeine after lunch, or if I want to drink a hot beverage before I go to bed that won’t give me insomnia.

“Poor people can starve for all I care” is a hill that some rep from Kentucky seems very willing to die on:

There’s another Hallmark movie that features both Aaron Samuels and Gretchen Wieners (she seems to be in the Hallmark movie rotation even more regularly). 

Yeah, though I’m guessing if a parent has bad enough judgment to take a 5 year old to wholly inappropriate movies, they’re going to do so whether a rating is attached to them or not. 

From what I’ve heard, many of them are separate from the baby shower, so it’s essentially a way to get twice as many presents while reinforcing the gender binary. 

Lol, this essentially describes my parents’ marriage, which tbh, probably either needs to end (or at the very least take a legit break) or a heavy dose of couples’ counseling.
