How the fuck do you get an F MINUS. That's something that I remember joking about in high school. Like oh man, that test was so hard, I probably got like an F minus.
Me too. I found one once and made the mistake of showing it to my dude, who PROMPTLY seized it from me and now shows it to people when he meets them and says, "this is my girlfriend!"
Yeah, this is a common thing, unfortunately, my school was vast majority POC, and people (including me) were upset when people's skin colors were LIGHTENED (some by several shades), and birth marks were removed.
this is some INSANE SHIT
Can we reserve the Love is Dead tag for people who actually matter. Like I should only see this headline in the event that any of the following couples split up.
Yep met some of those myself. It's like: "okay now that you have me you can quit all those pesky "hobbies" and devote yourself to my goals and dreams."
These are the sorts of guys who will call you their muse.
Alpha males don't exist. The concept is based on wolves and there's nothing you can tell about human behavior by looking at wolf behavior as we are not closely related.

My dad is the feminist who doesn't know he's a feminist. And, holy shit, don't you dare call him a feminist. (but he's totally a feminist)
That's cool. The shitty thing in here is that it seems like you taking her last name is an option, whereas her taking your last name is something you could, if you wanted to, insist upon.
Does he need to be actively fighting for social, political and economic justice for women — and for all people, really — to identify as a feminist? (Not necessarily. But if he's doing that, great.)
Actual male feminists are the greatest! Like my dad, who did most of the parenting and showed me from birth that gender roles are bullshit. Or my friend who set me straight a long time ago when I said something truly ignorant about, "How can it be rape if the person doesn't try to say no or resist?" Or like a lot of…
My husband falls clearly under the "Feminist Who Doesn't Know He's A Feminist Until You Tell Him." He does fully 50% of the child-rearing (when he comes home our daughter becomes his shadow), and also does the majority of cooking/ cleaning/ shopping because I'm so damn sick all the time. If I was physically able to…
I like to think of myself as a feminist. I would never take my fiancé's last name though. I am not insisting she take mine either.
