I'm going to tell your story to my dad. It's fun to seem him in full rage monster mode. My dad HATES the whole purity thing and he thinks is child abuse and the guys that are into it are pedos.
My dad is like that too. The only times he's gotten involved with my love life were when the guys I was dating were treating me badly or making me unhappy, or when I specifically asked for his advice. He's always taken a live-by-example approach, where he is basically just a fantastic husband to my mother and father…
I give my dad a lot of credit for not making a big deal about my honor or virginity or what I wore. Before I would go out on dates he was basically like "don't drink and drive" and "I'm not afraid of you dating, I feel for the guy who has to put up with you!" (this was lovingly/jokingly). Him not acting like all men…
Ours was ALWAYS the Spice Girls - I was Ginger.
You mean, the same way the girls she critcizes did not intend for their selfies to be scrutinized by her?
How much public mockery is enough?
You know, teenage girls post pretty dumb photos on the internet sometimes, but it's clear that they don't intend those photos to be scrutinized at family dinner tables and described in detail on blogs. Yes, they put those photos on social media, but clearly they mean them for their friends, etc.
To take another approach - constantly blaming women/girls for a man's inability to 'control his lust' only serves to reaffirm and further rape culture and the idea that women are to blame for sexual crimes committed against them. Her post obviously didn't go quite so far, but it's part of the problem. It just further…
Also, how does the level of danger in your job have anything to do with how much housework you should do?! *shrugs, classic MRA straw argument I guess...
No, he doesn't need to "pitch in." He needs to do his share of the housework. A guest pitches in out of the goodness of their heart. A member of the household pulls his or her own weight.
I noticed that in the beginning of my marriage my husband would do things, how do I say, half-ass. If he "did the dishes" he would only load the dish washer and never wash pots or pans. If you told him to clean the bathroom he'd forget to wipe down the counters/sink. I would get angry and say something like "You suck,…
I'm doing what I can for the next generation: teaching my daughters and my son the same life skills. Sewing a button, cooking, laundry washing, working the dishwasher, folding clothes...
I dumped a guy when I found out that his mom drove 8 hours every month to cook all his meals and freeze them. Seriously, if you are over 30 and you cannot figure out how to make lasagna or bake some chicken and veggies, something is wrong. Besides, men who can cook are sexy. Cooking together is one of the most…
"European standards of beauty" means "standards of beauty that privilege White people of European descent," not "standards of beauty that are common in modern Europe."
Something about the denim skirt aspect of your "racist white lady" character has me cracking up.
I know I do. Originally, all my posts about her were calling her out on her racism. I really don't care to defend her personally, because she's racist as hell and I find the way she uses black women as props to be absolutely appalling.
I have read quite a few feminist pieces (here and elsewhere) about the racism in Cyrus' performance. It was appalling, and deserves to be addressed. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be critical of the slut-shaming, victim-blaming (what a fun rhyme that makes me want to puke) idiots who are bitching about Cyrus for all…
You utterly disgust me. As a European I am endlessly horrified by the callow disregard for human life shown by so many of you right wing, conservative cretins.
