Granted, my parents never bragged about letting me go hungry because my motor skills weren’t up to par, but the general rule in my house was always if you didn’t like what was being served at mealtime, you simply did not eat.

My mom bought me a really nice kid’s dictionary when I was a kid. One time, I was reading some version of the Pied Piper, I came across the the word “plague,” which I had never seen before, and I asked her what it meant, and she pointed me to the very nice dictionary she had brought me, and told me to look it up…

What a strange and judgmental thing to say, calling her actions “bizarre”. You are comparing your situation at home with all the comforts of your daily life to her weeks of isolation in the wilderness without any luxury or entertainment. Spend some time by yourself and you’ll act a little weird, too. We create our own…

Yeah, I can laugh about it now, but my daughter and daughter-in-law were in tears at the time.

Yep. In brief, the story went something like this:

Because they feel entitled to these Greek letters, that’s the problem

What challenges is she referring to? Photoshopping Andrew out of family photos or cutting the covid19 testing line while NHS frontline workers couldn't get tested?

Good for TicTok. I was really uncomfortable with the way Perez covered Claudia Conway a couple months ago. I’m sure he had been warned. It might have been funnier if they had just shadowbanned him.

Truly cannot believe 15-20 years later, this is still a person I have to acknowledge.  He has been a racist, outing, all around asshole for that entire time with small feints towards “changing” and I hate that I still have to remember he exists every time he does the latest shitty thing.  Fuck this guy, please do not…

I worked in an engineering firm as a proposal editor/ semi executive assistant for a summer while in college- I was, to this day, the ONLY member of the admin staff that left with a good reference. The rationale? The CEO made it a point of pride “to make every woman in the office cry at least once.” I was the only one…

We call them Physicians. I remind snippy male physicians that I am a doctor. They are physicians. I’ve done research. They’ve completed a professional training.  (note: Some M.D.’s have PhD’s as well)

.

I’m counting all my years in college: did my BA in 3 years plus a summer, MA and MFA were another 3, 3 years of coursework for the PhD, and then one year with a fellowship when I finished my dissertation. But because I am truly a one-trick pony, the whole decade was spent in English departments at 3 different…

They just can’t stop being mad that two Black girls have the audacity to be from a well-connected, high profile family and are living their lives.

Have these people been to a beach? Or a women’s track meet? The fake outrage is strong in the GOP.

It starts way before dudes get girlfriends, it starts with your family. I cleaned the kitchen after family dinners (6 out of 7 nights a week) all through high school. My dad also had me cutting the grass, washing the cars, and splitting firewood. I hated that shit when I was a kid and as soon as I went away to college…

The main thing is trying to break the programming from the moment you were born to accommodate other people at the cost of your personal well being. It’s one thing for two people to agree that each person should do around their house “what they’re good at” but it’s another thing for men to take for granted that women…

My girlfriends thought I was crazy, but this is why I never, ever cooked for men I dated. I didn’t want to start those expectations. I never did vacuumed or did laundry or whatever at a house I didn’t live in for clothes that weren't mine. I always made sure to keep domestic duties separate.

Remember there’s only one thing men have to do to reinforce sexist roles: nothing.
