The truly American thing would be to charge for ketchup but give your richer customers loopholes to pay much less for it.

“Fortunately, we had a pretty good relationship with the local cops (again, this was Canada, not America, so all the young cops had Women’s Studies degrees and wanted to help poor people and shit). “

Wouldn’t free ketchup actually be commie? Charging for it is very American and capitalist.

The burger scam one is exactly why restaurants end up with a policy of “You ate more than a little bit, we don’t believe you when you claim it was terrible.” The couple of times we’ve had to send food back it was clear within a bite or two that there was something wrong.

I sort of agree with her. At the gym or at the pool or at the beach, the type of woman who usually tells me to cover up more (regardless of what I am wearing) tends to be overweight. I'm not happy with the "ghetto" part but I definitely get more crap from overweight women than thin or fit women.

lolol

It’s entirely possible that two extremely common words were combined in two different contexts by two different social groups. However, the term that these articles are tracking originates, like so many other trending terms in the last 10 years, from the black community.

See, this is confusing to me because we said “fuckboy” in college—I’m an Old, suuuper White and went to a very White school. We used it as one would use “donor”, “slam piece” or “dial-a-dick”. A fuckboy was someone you would do it with but who enjoyed no other place in your life or perhaps even your social circle. I…

“I didn’t want him to laugh at me. I didn’t want to offend him.”

I’ll never forget the ex-boyfriend who excitedly told me he’d seen an instructional video on the internet where someone had trained away their gag reflex and thought it could work for me. He then proceeded to show me a clip of a woman hooked up to a machine that operated thusly: the more she deep-throated a dildo, the…

I agree wholeheartedly with your last statement, which is why I think more attention (in pretty much the forms we are given to work with, i.e. this film) to call out people who use the terminology. I’m realistic. I know people think/believe a certain way about a great many things, women and feminism included. What I…

I’m about to get killed for this comment...RIP

There are A LOT of black people that talk like this, men and women alike. So I don’t think it’s so much misogyny as it is cultural in some cases

Except that the only way she could have mitigated that damage would be by violating her personal beliefs and potentially behaving in what she feels in an unethical manner. It doesn’t matter whether you and I agree with her on that. She wanted neither another child nor an abortion, she got birth control sorted out (as…

Well, since she’s the one who’d be getting the abortion, it’s really her personal beliefs that matter in this situation, not yours, isn’t it?

It’s not just a religious preference. It would be ridiculous to ignore the emotional baggage that could come from the choice to abort or not. I’m not religious, but I personally would never be able to abort if I found myself pregnant again. We’re all different like that.
