That's what I experienced in high school. I'm from Texas and (at my specific school) this was what was required to just get into UT. I'm not talking Ivy league, just the main state school. If you're in the top 10% of your graduating class you automatically get into UT. My school had about 700 kids in each grad and…

I'll all for some submission in my relationship. But only in the bedroom and with a safe word.

Have you actually watched the show? Horrible name! But very interesting female characters.

I saw this movie for the first time in high school too and I always thought it was one of those movies that you're supposed to see differently as you get older. At 16 you're supposed to think Troy is amazing, even though it's likely that he was cheating on her with a cocktail waitress in under six months. At 25+ you…

They're both supposed to be jerks...

I remember the Rubulad days of my youth!

I still really love the West Wing, but as I watch it with older eyes it really pisses me off. Women are always asking men to explain things to them and in Sorkin's big women episode what does he do? Have them all drink wine and talk about men bc that's all the matters. Our boyfriends!

I read this book in a college class and felt like it did a great job of explaining "mail-order brides." Frequently, they have a lot of agency in the situation. Other then the fact that these men are looking for submission women, which is gross and true in every case I've read, a lot of the final power rests with the…

I love the British coupling!

Your holiday meals sound like their much more up my alley.

Yes!

I hate all "traditiona" Thanksgiving and Christmas foods. My family now makes a few additional things for me like Mac and Cheese.

I don't have kids yet, but I have a very different opinion. I'm fine with babies being in a bar or other adult location because they won't pickup on what's going on around them. But if I'm out at a bar with friends I am likely having a more adult conversation. I don't like cursing or talking about sex in front of…

Totally! The school should just do nothing because separate but equal is 100% okay.

People like that shouldn't be parents. That makes me physically ill.

Meatloaf and mashed potatos?

When you've been drinking there's no excuse for not calling a car/cab.

Yep! I love Buffalo Exchange. I always find great things and it's super cheap.

It's all about consignment stores! I make pretty good money, but not where I'd spend $1,000 on every pair of shoes. I live in NYC, so I'm sure I'm getting better stock then other areas, but I'll get $800 Mark Jacob dresses for $55. I have a pair of Stuart Weitzman shoes that I grabbed for $40 and so many nice Madewell…

I get more mad at what they call "cheap". I'm fine with the aspirational, high-end fashion. The mags know people can't buy that anyways, but their pandering to what they think "normal women" can afford pisses me off. I'm sorry, but a outfit for $300 just doesn't fit my budget and I make really good money.
