I have a two boys and a girl. Some regulars on here probably know this because I mention them often. My daughter is the youngest and she's the center of the entire family universe. My sons are lovely and thoughtful boys.
You know, I once spoke with a famous university professor a few years ago and we were talking about whiteness and masculinity in the context of white anti-Muslim violence in Europe and America. What you're witnessing in all these shootings is precisely the violence that has always underwrote white male power but it's…
I hope this finally brings attention to the under-reported horror of waxing induced crotch itch. Time we all started pruning those bushes rather than yanking them out.
I understand the impulse to create a museum that teaches people about that terrible day, but I don't see how the museum folks can uncouple the far-reaching political implications of that day to present it in a respectful way. People wax poetic about that day, but it was a horrible trauma that real people like you…
NO I AM THE WINNER THIS IS NOT A JOKE.
I went to school with a Crystal-Lynn. For years she went by just Chrystal and finally Chrys. We found out her whole name was actually Chrystal-Lynn Rainbow-Waterfall [Last Name] when they called her name for high school graduation. Her parents must have been smoking the primo weed when she was born.
I have some pretty extreme middle names to cope with as it is, but god, if I was a boy I would've been... Mungo. MUNGO. Mungooooooo. My grandparents, bless them, bought a dog and called him Mungo in a last-ditch attempt to save me but my parents were planning to go ahead with it anyway, so set were they on ruining my…
Reminds me- Oprah is actually named Orpah, but no one pronounced it correctly, so Oprah stuck.
I feel I should point out that Pitt is a rude word for penis i Swedish.
I never comment, but now is my moment to shine, or whatever. Had I been born a boy, I would have been named Joe Jr. after my dad. My dad's name isn't Joe but it is Jose, and he's already a junior. He also has a son from a previous relationship whose name is Joe Jr. For girl names my mom went back and forth, one of the…
But how cool would it have been to be a redhead named Mallory??
Oh, I win this one easily. If I had been a boy I would have been named Barnstable. BARNSTABLE.
My father wanted "India" or "Mercedes" for me. My wanted "Danielle" They compromised on Chloe. Kinda sad I don't have the nickname "Indy" though. I probably would have married the first guy I met with the last name "Jones."
Everything boring. You don't wanna come out with us? UGH SO STRAIGHT. You like vanilla? Soooo straight. Your favorite author is John Green? God, that's so straight.
I was almost Adelaide - my dad loved it, but the great aunt I'm named for died two weeks before I was born so the plan changed. It wasn't until a few years ago that I realised my parent's 10th anniversary holiday to Australia was roughly 9 months before I was born.
I bought one of the "Girl of Today" outfits mid-90s, and it legit came with jellies. I need to dig those out now.
I'm glad to see Samantha come back because she was awesome, but seriously? This is super upsetting. I feel like the historical dolls are the backbone of this company and they do not seem to deal with them very well. There is so much potential being tossed aside here. In addition to the extremely important aspect…
