So this is why my college freshman text like crazy in class. It is FREEEEEEEDOM from phone oppression in HS.

Americans feel entitled to drive, even in major cities, and it nauseates me. It is especially bad in the midwest and the South (cue irrate and overly defensive midwesterners while most Texans will agree with the terrible public transport options). Driving bestows a sense of status on the driver while public…

I live in a major metropolitan area (about 700,000 people within city limits) and take the bus frequently especially when I go to school or downtown even though I have a car. I buy gas every other month. My bf lives in the burbs (so he doesn't have to reverse commute—fuck companies who put offices in the burbs to…

This article was surprisingly painless, though.

I don't think this article denies the physics of this situation.

Why are we always blaming the wimmenz of Africa for being unable to control their sexually deviant nature and overpopulating the planet? Someone needs to impregnate them, yet we blame the woman always. Reports from the field of women's health in Africa show that women don't want to have many children but their…

There's this bogus statistic that continually spreads and is passed down to younger generations at prestigious private (mostly east coast?) colleges like that antibiotic-resistant super-strain of gonorrhea. It goes like this:

Awww! I was single until like 2 months ago (I am 25) and the guy I found is awesome and he is finally adult (it takes a few years) and, fingers crossed, he is ready to settle down eventually. Sowing one's wild oats and being single in your 20s is really, really useful as an experience. I think it makes your next…

New York, I Love you is so obnoxiously twee it makes me hate love and New York.

Right. We should hold her up as some beacon of feminist choice. She didn't choose to stay home. She should be criticized.

I don't agree with Wurtzel but I was kind of dismayed at the complete dismissal of criticism of Anne Romney. I can understand staying home with children, but she never went back to work. One is a choice, one is bullshit and antiquated. Many, many well-to-do women don't ever work after marriage. There is a term for…

Shoshanna is still in college, so she makes sense.

Their actions and experiences of being 24 in a terrible job market feel accurate, but the content of their actions is very different from my own. Like Hannah is an idiot and has idiotic views of the world, which I think is a universal experience for educated liberal women. Don't we all cringe when we think about the…

Omg. Shoshanna is the fucking best. She is totally a caricature, but I feel liked EVERYONE knew someone like her when you were 21 and in college

It's really, really accurate in some ways. Unfortunately. I went to a fancy liberal arts college as the token poor kid and a lot of my friends were floated by their parents, so that part rings true though the class issues are annoying. However, it wasn't always as entitled as it is on this show. If these girls are 24,…

Nevermind, then.

I also think too many people conflate the movie and the show. The 6th season was over the top and it slowly devolved in relateability when it came to lifestyle, but the relationship/sex issues were relatable. Then the movies came out and now everyone can only think of Dubai and shit. I wish we could separate them so…
