"I thought it was crass and sexist and stupid; believe me, I'm an expert in all of those areas."
The Trixie Belden Series
Julie Campbell/Kathryn Kenny, 1948-1986
OH Jesus Titstaring Christ! I was already gagging over his attempt to mansplain misogyny, but then THIS bullshit...this really drove it home: "women need to understand that when men do some of these things we’re just being men, we’re just letting off steam."
"Ramona Quimby, Age 8," by Beverly Cleary (1981). Ramona is like the honey badger. I mean, she squeezed an entire tube of toothpaste into the sink.
Just because you don't "intend" to be sexist doesn't mean it's not sexist.
This book has everything — especially FALCONS, Y'ALL. And it takes the protagonist seriously.
"Real misogyny is, you know, hatred of women and violence against women and all that". What exactly does "all that" mean? All of what Pax? Stop being cryptic. If i don't know what the 3rd sign of misogyny is then i can never truly call myself a feminist.
This was my first major book obsession; I started reading at a very young age and my parents were awesome enough to encourage me and sign me up for a Little Golden Book "book of the month club." (I still have the entire Little House series).
I'm not sure I understand why this photo is a big deal. If that is Bebe Winans, he has performed with LR before in the past and probably was just doing her a favor since it was, you know, raining. Being nice to someone doesn't mean you are being subservient. And white people are allowed to honor MLK. I get that this…
NO. FEET TOUCHING FEET. I cannot.
I'm all for cuddling when watching tv or other such activities. But, if I'm going to be sleeping, I belong on this side of the bed and you belong waaaaaaay over there. I don't even want there to be a possibility of touching in the night.
Dude. This. I always feel like an asshole because I'm NOT a cuddler and for some reason every dude I've dated is ALL ABOUT IT. Get out of my face. Stop hugging all over me. It's hot. Is the AC on? Ugh.
WORD. i love my husband and all, but seriously, it's time for sleeping bro. GTFO. except the O is for Off, not Out. he doesn't have to leave. just go to his side and STAY FUCKING THERE. none or these half asleep boner pokes, either.
I've suffered many years of horrible sleep thanks to my husband's propensity to be all over me when I'm trying to sleep. Plus, I'm sure his massive legs on top of my poor little legs are giving me varicose veins.
That is actually BeBe Winans, a fellow performer that day who volunteered to hold an umbrella for her because it was pouring down rain in DC yesterday. Actually almost all of the performers held umbrellas for each other yesterday because they weren't prepared for the rain.
I want to give you like, 800 stars for that. My husband and I cuddle for approximately .6 seconds at night, and then it's "gtfo my face" time. Too hot, and the touching, and trying to roll over with someone right there...no. I want no part in these shenanigans.
Oh God, I can't stand physical proximity to someone when I'm trying to sleep. Not only does it need to be like 50 degrees Fahrenheit in my room when I'm trying to sleep, I need space. THE REPUBLIC OF SLEEPING ARI DEMANDS SPACE. I can't even imagine trying to sleep with someone's breath on my face. Or hair in my…
So this nice gentleman offers to hold an umbrella for a white lady and suddenly race relations have been set back a century?
