There are people trying to argue (on Jezebel and iO9) that it exists because the time period and the world of Game of Thrones is a mean hurtful place where women get raped on their wedding night on the daily and we apparently have to show that happening EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. lest we forget and pretend that...I don’t…

to be truthful: ambivalence, pregnancy phobia and a deep love of being irresponsible for hours on end may actually be the main players
Attention, parents of millennials (or tail-end gen x-ers as it were): nobody can effing afford anything-weddings, babies, rent, food... Help out with all those labor rights you worked on rolling back and then we can talk. Maybe. “Finally” got married to LT partner at 33, very low-key deal, and still have not produced…
It was great! Almost too many cameos for there to be a real plot, but can someone finally give us a proper female action movie now (not in the next 4 years, but maybe 2)? This was really good and serves to prove that we need one and people care.
Yep and maybe instead we should also focus on why so many WOC feel like they do not fit into the feminist movement.
What label a person ascribes to themselves should be their own choice. That would be the feminist thinking. It’s not a fucking cult and they’re not the only ones saying they’re for equality.
YES! I made a comment a few days ago about how a company that gave my male friend 5 weeks paid but basically told him that he HAD to come back after that was being unfair (he has the right to 12 unpaid weeks, they tricked him into taking only 5 weeks. Paid weeks I grant them that but it’s not only about money it’s…
I’m working towards the whole choice mum thing at the moment, but no luck so far - IVF#1 was a bust, three rounds of home insemination haven’t knocked me up either, and I’m just about to start Pill-priming for IVF#2. Wish me luck...
Yeah, that seems like a huge factor. Like, I’m not even sure how most two-income households support kids if they’re not wealthy. I guess it’s all just another reason why we have to advocate for things like paid maternity leave, affordable chidcare, and just normalizing parenthood in our social and professional lives.
Yeah, agree. The fuck?
White people aren’t changing shit, they don’t have to and they don’t care, so why continue to act like it?
That, and it can feel very hopeless to accept that there are vast systems of oppression in operation on a scale that no individual can really do anything about. It can feel disempowering to acknowledge that we are not in total control of our own destinies. To some extent, sure, we can work hard and persevere and so…
it’s also a very flattering narrative: “ I was able to pull myself up by my own bootstraps, and it was because of my awesomeness and hard work ect etc.” Therefore those who can’t, can’t because they must be lazy or weak or have some other character flaw.
The new black narrative is attractive to wealthy Black people and poor black people because it disregards the structural, systematic forces that shape our lives and gives us practical, personal ways to cope with them. In that way it is very much like a self help book- just another aspect of the American dream.

I don’t trust that guy. We already saw his temper flare over practically nothing. SHE’S TOO GOOD FOR HIM. And he’s old as hell.
How can white women be the ‘godmother’ or ‘queen’ of any style that they copy from non-white women/cultures? Bohemian primarily means “white women traveled, saw what non-white women wore, picked a few things for herself to wear to seem exotic, ‘wild’, to show people she’s traveled - or at least would like to.”…
