Yup. My in laws are in Michigan, the American car industry has been foundering for years. But don’t you DARE suggest to a local that perhaps they should plan on another field of work because the well-paid, union protected car manufacturing jobs their dads and grandpas worked their whole lives might not be there much…

Yikes. I’ve heard of parents being super strict about sleepovers because of molestation fears, but the idea that gradeschoolers would inevitably hold a sex party at a slumber party? That’s new to me.

Damn. Now that’s an apology. No clue if he means it, but I wish Americans caught in inappropriate actions could pay that kind of lip service (ahem Tucker Carlson).

It’s especially vicious because the kind of behaviors that get women labeled “crazy” are usually consistent with trauma. Double victimization.

I mean in a way Marie Antoinette was also a victim of circumstances but that doesn’t mean she didn’t have it coming 🤷‍♀️

Yes. Every day he reminds me of my insane uncle who used to forward chain emails about the chem trails and how obama was using fluoride in the water to turn the rats gay (I swear every white person has this uncle). How is this man president??? (The answer is all our dumbass uncles make up a depressingly large voting…

It seems like there’s a cultural binary we have where a woman is either truthful or crazy. Once a woman has been branded as “crazy” it’s fair to discount everything she has to say, classic silencing technique. But that’s a false binary if ever there was one.

Hallmark is not about verisimilitude.

Yes! And if some women are suffering, the enemy is always other women. Never society or patriarchy.

Yes—the hatred is unusually obvious. I mean he wants Michael Vick executed, but warren Jeffs free? I guess dogs are more valuable than women on his scale? Or does he just want to kill a black man? I’m also annoyed today about how mainstream media are reporting it. At least where I’ve been reading they are super…

Obligatory reminder that the incel movement isn’t about not having access to sex: sex workers, porn, and serviceable sex dolls all already exist. It’s about anger that women are allowed to pick and choose their sex partners and are no longer financially and socially dependent on men, and therefore unable to refuse…

I mean, I’m not SURPRISED. But I am more disgusted than I usually am when I click on an article about Carlson. Which is saying something.

As a mom who regularly weathers winters by taking my kids to the free playground at my local mall, I definitely mourn their end. As a poor person who can never afford to but much more than a soft pretzel there, I acknowledge I haven’t done much to keep them open.

I think there’s an idea it won’t mess up your cooch? I had two naturally though and my cooch healed just fine. My most recent was a c section though and people are telling me the hanging chub “shelf” (different from what I had pp with natural birth) is basically permanent unless I have surgery to fix it.

Hey! Make your own choices obviously 😄 but as someone with similar stats (2 babes birthed naturally with midwives) I thought the same thing and ended up in c section with my latest at a hospital with a 30% plus c section rate. 😢 doesn’t mean it will happen to you and some people swear by their epidurals. But if…

I agree that it is, but also it’s very common. I live in a relatively impoverished area with a large percentage of people of color, and no hospitals around here will provide VBAC. All these things are related.

Just today I was reading about how the few men of color in the alt right have tended to come there by way of gamergate, pick up culture, and general anti-feminism. If there’s one thing that can unite men of all races, it’s misogyny.

They should do nature shows or Moana. That’s what my dentist plays and I love it.

It’s just straight up racism. A sneaky black man playing the race card for pity/attention is much more believable to the racist than the violence of entitled white men, whatever the evidence. (Also see: poor Covington Catholic boys)

Right? In the video I saw the fbi knocked on the door...and Stone opened it 🤷‍♀️ Real harrowing stuff there.
