Don’t know why I have gotten sucked into this storyline, but here I am. I honestly don’t know who any of these people are. My only two cents on this whole thing (besides the insanity of a grown ass adult picking on a teenager about VITAMINS) is blowing up the idea that a feminine gay man will steal your man is soooo

Ahhh yes. The good ‘ol “we know best what is best for you, because that is our opinion” argument. The idea that some women have been duped into the wrong sort of life and that they must be saved from/ their way of life destroyed. i.e. religious women, sex workers etc. I need to do some further reading, but I could

I could barely read this over my own internal screaming. Does WoLF not see the snide smirking of the Tucker Carlson’s of the world as they do their hateful work for them? They are being played.

I believe the author is referencing the “gender tests” which compare the bodies of mostly women of color against the accepted norms of womanhood which are generally based on the idealized white female body. Also the inherent bias present when a sports body comprised of mostly white men hands down judgement on a woman

Their pubic hair, breasts, external genitals, and internal reproductive organs were examined. They then had surgeries, described as “partial clitoridectomy with a bilateral gonadectomy, followed by a deferred feminizing vaginoplasty and estrogen replacement therapy.”

Girl, I was right there with you at Borders. Too underfunded to buy, but read the whole damn thing standing in the manga section.  I am an extremely nostalgic millennial and if I wasn’t at work right now I would be ugly crying while rereading a few select chapters. 

White people who are reviewing ‘Cuz I Love You’ are trying to categorize her into two camps. Either she’s inspirational or brave because she’s daring to be fat and talented or she’s a fat revolutionary trying to burn the system to the ground. In reality both takes are dumb and clear examples of a writer who can’t see

Why are you doing this to us Uncle Joe?

I am a cheap ass person who is also in debt. I recently eloped for a grand total of $150 + the cost of two delicious celebratory burgers. After the fact I ordered rings on Etsy for the astounding cost of $50 for mine and 80$ for his. When my ring arrived my husband got on one knee and handed me the bubble envelope

I love that Warren is talking about this, and the fact she has a plan is honestly invigorating. Reproductive health care has been under attack on all fronts for years (with a disgustingly racist twist), and the result is more dead women. I’d like to read a detailed proposal though. I’m curious if an unintended

I’d like to see their reaction to the absolute barbaric use of forceps, tongs, scissors or similar instruments to remove a tumor, growth or polyp. It’s not fair that they limit preposterous legal protections to one clump of cells but not all clumps of cells. Save all cells! 

I was stuck in a 6 seater on the train this morning with 5 50ish business types. They were all murmuring about Joe’s announcement being a “good thing” and wondering how the millennials will react. I can already see their age group digging in their heels in the coming months about “moderate politics” aka the status

You’re 100% right that it’s bullshit, but the defense has already called her opportunistic. You can bet they will bring up the broken engagement as a way to paint her as a self serving bitch out to get all the fine gentlemen.

The number of times the crew says “the crypts are the safest place in winterfell” clearly makes them anything but.

But, having seen her grow up from a pre-teen, I really did not want to see her have sex. Just like my nieces, ‘have fun honey! Use a condom!’ but I really don’t need to see you do the deed.   That scene ultimately felt like I ate a whole cake, I thought I wanted it but turns out I really did not.

All plans on the Connecticut exchange this year had staggering deductibles in addition to steep monthly premiums. As an individual under 30, female non-smoker the cheapest plan I was offered for 2019 was around $120 per month with an $8,000 deductible. The only way I could justify the expensive is my fear I will get

I have not seen this movie, and I do not plan to (I would like to keep clawing my own eyes out off my schedule). But I think the take away of the film should not be ‘change your sinful hussie ways, you anti-baby monster’ so much as it should be Johnson is a horrible doctor and a horrible human being. If she behaved

I should not be surprised, but the double standard still astounds me. I could maybe see why some folks would interpret the “some people” comment out of context as dismissive regarding a sensitive subject, but 45 has said egregious things IN CONTEXT and conservatives carry on, business as usual. Or more often, they

ALL LIFE IS SACRED*!

I’m seeing a lot of folks pull the ‘tipping is morally wrong, I won’t do it’ argument, and to them I say this:
