aaaand there’s my new band name.

So, I was in a band many moons ago and we thought it would be cool to attach sparklers to our guitars and then swing them in a circle.

My Mom says I was a lazy fucker and basically just slept the whole time. When I was born, they put me under heat lamps and whatnot because I wasn’t ‘thriving’. Turns out I was just super lazy and liked napping.

THIS. I have pictures of my Mom at around 8 months pregnant in a bikini and you’d never know. She had a flat stomach and gained barely 10 lbs with me. She said she had zero nausea, no ‘traditional’ symptoms, never felt me kick and always thought I had died. She was kinda pissed because everyone bought her maternity…

Semi-related, I work in a heavily male dominated field and I learned very early on that any sort of hint that I was a woman on my resume would result in it being thrown out. I used just my first initial in my name and took away anything that seemed even remotely woman-like and immediately my interview rate went from 1…

I am better, though because of an unfortunate change in my medication I’m now on the heavier side, haha. The joys of having a chronic health condition.

Yepppp. I’ve been the ‘secret girlfriend’ and even fell for the ‘shhh, we’ll just secretly hook up, it’ll just be between you and me so it’s romantic’ bullshit in my 20s. My first boyfriend broke up with me because he was ‘embarrassed to be seen with me in public’ and thought he deserved a thinner ‘more fit’ woman. Of…

Because they truly think they'll be rich one day. They also believe that rich people worked harder and therefore earned their money, status and power when in reality it was usually inherited. Aka cognitive dissonance.

I was the only woman at two of my former jobs and being in meetings was....interesting. They completely forgot I was there, and that I was a woman. I honestly can’t even count how many times I had to say ‘WHOA, dudes, not fucking cool to talk about women like that’ during actual company meetings. Then I’d get ‘Oh, but…

THIS. I grew up with my Dad, Uncles, Grandpa, basically all the male figures in my life berating and degrading women based on their appearance. When I gained some weight (I was severely underweight due to medical issues, and finally got to a healthy weight) one of my Uncle’s loudly said ‘You better watch what you eat…

Why pay 2 employees salary and benefits when you can just overwork 1 that will perform twice the work for the same pay?

Female ex A&P here! Why did I quit? Because it was a fucking horrible job. The all male crews I worked with went out of their way to make my life miserable, I had a boss who told me ver batim that it made the men uncomfortable having a woman around and that’s why I wasn’t advancing, and during A&P school the other 3…

I’m a 6’2 woman and at my absolute heaviest I was 235 lbs and a comfortable size 14.

My bf and I have two sun lamps and use them throughout the winter..and it makes a HUGE difference. We also use a ‘sunrise alarm clock’ during the winter which gradually gets brighter over the course of 15 minutes or so to wake us up and that make a crazy difference this last winter with our SAD. We used to bicker…

I wonder if the Church of Satan will get involved in this one too.

It’s because anytime an agency threatens to audit or enforce regulations, the companies threaten to leave. So, everyone is terrified of fining or reprimanding companies because they’re afraid of job loss, local economy impact and the companies just packing up and leaving to a ‘more business friendly country’. It's…

I think I’m a ‘drunk sad person magnet’ but I’ve heard sooo many stories from women who completely 100% regret having children. They love their kids, but if they could go back they’d never have had them in the first place. I think a lot of parents feel that way, but obviously it’s not something one would talk about…

Oh man, have you ever read the book Unwind? It’s basically about abortion until age 18, but in a very weird and messed up way. Definitely check it out.

Because they don’t consider themselves on welfare. They’re just getting ‘necessary help for a rough patch’, but it’s all them lazy welfare queens buying steak and crab legs to put in their Escalades who are using up all the welfare! I saw this sooo much back in my hometown, and it’s just so confusing. Got in an…
