Boundaries, motherfucker: that kid learned them. A friend of mine got called in to his daughter's preschool recently to watch security footage of an "altercation" between her and a little boy in her class. He said on the tape, some kid kept pulling his daughter's hair, and after she pushed him away several times, she

May I join your gang? I'll make jackets for us out of reclaimed chambray and these awesome vintage rust-colored bolts I found at an abandoned fair ground.

What the hell? I just said I agreed with you, so I'm not sure who you're calling a hypocrite. My point is that I agree with you, yet your phrasing is so shitty that my first instinct is to roll my eyes at your apparent butthurt. But you just fight on, feminist warrior. Don't pay attention to actual women's reactions

What cause? I agree with your initial comment, but it sounds like you're butthurt that women are "getting away" with something that men are no longer allowed to do. If your understanding of "the cause" goes any deeper, you should reconsider your phrasing in the future.

God knows nobody's stopping Paris from doing Paris. But if she doesn't want the world (+Emma Watson) commenting on her shopping habits, then she shouldn't have let someone shoot a movie in her closet.

That is fabulous. I had to learn through trial and error that responding with a smile and a genuine "thank you" can trigger rage-induced meltdowns. The trick is to really mean it. And I always do.

Yeah, girlfriend should have Googled him. But more importantly, her fucking sociopath of a "best friend" should be required to play this episode for every new potential friend she meets from now on, the way sex offenders have to warn their new neighbors.

Seriously? She also curses like a sailor. Not 27 years ago, in the outtakes from her show. And I think it's a stretch to assume that someone who immediately thinks "n-word" instead of "lunatic asshole gunman" hasn't said the n-word a few other times in her life. Also— black waiters for a plantation themed wedding.

I feel like you just bent over backwards to miss that point. Paula Dean admitted that she's used the n-word in her deposition, so that pretty much destroys your assertion that she's a poor, sensitive little old white lady who doesn't like harsh language. She also curses like a sailor, but that stuff gets edited out of

But see, as a security guard, his job was to make people feel protected. Instead, he made that woman feel incredibly vulnerable. As a woman, the lack of judgment he demonstrated in that situation is enough to convince me that he's not qualified for the job he had. I'm glad he was fired, because how many other women do

I think that's what creepy dudes with no boundaries tell themselves to justify their behavior. You're basically assuming that the woman who is creeped out isn't really creeped out by the behavior she says is bothering her, it's just that she's shallow and prefers to have her boundaries violated by more conventionally

Yeah, and it's usually coupled with some BS about how they were spanked growing up, and look how well they turned out...

And while I'm on the subject, I don't know a lot of middle school GIRLS who think being teased about tampons is hilarious. So again, not buying the argument that it's necessary for her character development or whatever. It's a work of fiction designed to make adults go "haha tampon joke."

Is it written by a grown up though? Because I thought the grown ups were supposed to be *more* mature, and set an example for the kids, so they don't grow up to be the kind of adults who giggle at dumb ass middle school humor as though it were edgy. As is the case here. I thought about it plenty, we just have

It's just lazy as shit writing, imo. That's middle school boy humor. As in, humor that's edgy and fresh to middle school boys, who have only recently discovered that the girls in their class are packing tampons in their purses. I'm sad for the grown ass adult who was like "I've got it! She should make a joke about

But but but I'm personally grossed out and offended! It's not that breasts are bad, I just shouldn't be FORCED to look at something so icky on my way to work every day. I mean, aside from dog poop, vomit, a random sock that's been festering in the gutter for a week, and the mass of human tragedy that is the homeless

Right, even though lots and lots of women feel this is completely wrong. But go ahead and make sweeping generalizations if that's all your tiny brain can comprehend.

You implied that all you need is a solid work ethic, which I proved to be factually incorrect, using my own experiences as an example. Yeah, I'm going to get defensive when someone implies that my work ethic is lacking in a conversation about how hard some people work to get ahead in life. If you don't get why your

Yes, that's it. It's a lack of drive. You nailed it. I just didn't CARE enough. If I'd just been willing to forgo all sleep for 3 years (because that's how long it took me to graduate, FYI), I could have squeezed in another 20hr/wk commitment. My God the ignorance.

You're completely missing the point. If it's work, you should be paid for it. The work you do benefits the company, just like any other employee. You worked within the system and got ahead, which is great for you on a personal level. What I'm saying is that ANYONE who is willing to show up, work hard, and learn should
