Maybe the key to having balance in a relationship is each one thinking they won the prize?

I’ve learned to accept and actually enjoy that I’m not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. I don’t need to be broadly-appealing; it’s better to weed out the people who find my ambition or my brain intimidating from the get-go, so I can spend more time with the men who don’t run screaming for the hills. In the worst…

I have a good friend who is unbelievably intelligent and accomplished. She believes that the main reason she can’t land a dude is because they must all be too intimidated by her credentials. Although this might be part of the problem, the other part is that she has her heart set on a younger guy who must be very…

The funny thing is how it’s stereotypically women who are picky but in reality I’ve seen it’s actually the other way around.

She posted one on Twitter, with the women’s name screen-cut for privacy. Scary stuff - the woman mentioned that she also found out he’d been doing this to four other women, and when she dumped him he hit her. Perfect misogynistic asshole trifecta: unfaithful, dishonest, and abusive.

I hope I’m wrong but I’m guessing she receives her fair share of slut shaming from the wives and girlfriends (‘why don’t you cover up then?’ ‘Or maybe don’t dress like a stripper or porn star!’ Etc). I doubt all recipients respond this way but I can imagine many would lash out in embarrassment or hurt or shock (at…

Logan Square has certainly become “safer” over the past decade, but with that increase in safety comes rising housing costs, which just push the poors out to less safe areas. So like, yeah, it’s safer for relatively affluent white people. But now the previous residents lose their community and have to rebuild in areas…

It can bring businesses, housing, and cultural events to areas where everyone was afraid to go even before it got dark, and without displacing the POC who already lived there.

That’s 18 more counts than I was expecting, tbh.

It’s an indictment of our society that the media didn’t think this was worth covering. Imagine if this was about dozens of white women? All lives clearly don’t matter.

Time to celebrate! My rum and Coke will be dedicated to the guilty verdict... Who else is in?

Only marginally better than the time Anakin Skywalker opened a Montessori school.

She seems to have a healthy detachment from reality as evidenced by basically her entire life.

She may have been born white, but in her heart she will always be Hawaiian Tropic #3a Medium/Dark.

This is the proper place for her to talk about her nonsense. On a panel with black women. All along this is exactly what this story needed - not white men, or white women, or black men. Her actions are an affront to black women and that is who needs to talk to her and set her straight. Bravo.

Just like heterosexual men cannot be sexist because, come on, think about it, they sex up females all of the time.

Does she double as his “Black Friend”?

Well I guess we all rushed to judge this noble man. HE DATES PEOPLE OF COLOR GUYS, everyone knows that means he can never do anything wrong EVER again.
