Trump is clearly rubbing off on him.
Congrats on landing a husband who is lightyears ahead of all those mediocre white men, simply by virtue of being able to identify them for who they are!
Beat me to it!
I have had a long-standing hatred for period euphemisms, but then a fellow Jezzie introduced me to the One True Euphemism that won my heart over:
Making out on the street is generally yuck, but the circumstances made it sound much more romantic, imo:
“Hilariously, the State Department spokesperson attributed the change ‘to help ensure and promote equal treatment’ between straight and gay couples.”
Sometimes I really just wish we had a way to plaster this poem across every exterior wall or other outdoor surface in America. Maybe one day we’ll start teaching history in schools well enough that our society isn’t perpetually doomed to repeat its greatest missteps...
I assume the reason for the whole super-secret-girls-only-club thing is because of the idea that it would be embarrassing to openly discuss breast self-exams out in the open where men can see. You know, like how women* have come up with all sorts of cutesy, euphemistic code words like “Aunt Flo” to refer to periods.…

Seriously, why is it so taken for granted that in every school, there is at least one teacher who clearly just does not like children??? It’s so common that it feels a bit silly to call it a cliché, rather than a simple categorization.
Um, more like a sabotaged blind date! Sounds like the two of you were obviously destined to hit it off the moment you were alone together and she was jealous. :P
Ah, a compulsive liar! Great quality to have in a Supreme Court Justice.
It almost hit a lower note! You know Molly Ringwald’s mom had to intervene because the script originally called for the dad to ask his daughter what happened to her underwear?

“As dumb as it sounds”? It doesn’t sound dumb at all; in fact, it sounds perfectly reasonable and relatable. Just as we’re not actually fine with all this, we’re not actually dumb for needing validation and emotional support from others.
I get where you’re coming from, but we’ve got to stop hating ourselves for failing to be a perfect Feminist Warrior 24/7. It’s hard to cope, to get by, to simply navigate this world without giving in here and there. We have to conserve our energy for the big stuff.
...And Kavanaugh, naturally, is one of those aggrieved people who believes that the world – I mean, the left – is out to get him by any means necessary. They are set out to DESTROY his life, to DESTROY his family!! But he will not! be! intimidated! And he will not! back! down! Not now, not ever!!!
40M when I’m on my period, and 40N when I’m ovulating.
Eh, Cosby and Weinstein’s public personas weren’t actually all that incongruous if you scratch at the surface even just a little bit.
Nope, it was WaPo! The title was enough to track it down, so thanks for the pointer.
