My three-year-old son had been wearing his Paw Patrol T-shirt for a few weeks before I noticed something

There are so many parents who only think in binary terms though. They will refuse to buy their kids toys and clothing because it’s too boyish or too girlish even though the kid doesn’t see it in those terms and just wants the color or the character or activity. Yes, it’s a huge problem that the little boy who wants an…

A few reasons off the top of my head: for their own entertainment, to fuck with employees they already don’t like or feel threatened by, because they think it’s some genius management style that leads to better productivity and creativity and to feed their own ego. In my particular industry where there is a lot of…

Being in that position kind of makes you wonder if you’re actually carrying your boss(es) all while being paid less, ya? I feel that way all the time and it has me questioning why I do it.

As someone else stated, it’s important to share praise and credit whenever it is appropriate. But also you can do little things like refraining from being the first to speak in meetings - you won’t come off as domineering, or dismissive if you’re allowing other people to engage first.

A person’s knowledge of the DSM, the mental health system, and all that jazz is all for naught if they haven’t even bothered to research and understand a person or group of people on their own terms.

A lot of people see those things as inherently connected and they can’t even see that they are listed separately, it makes my little bi heart break :/

People are giving you shit but I agree with your interpretation, she did include bisexual as its’ own point and it made me uncomfortable.

Work a job that snooty people see as less-than. I recommend anything in fast food, a gas station, or any job that has you waiting on assholes and cleaning up their messes while they act all superior to you.

A real marriage doesn’t even allow for separation if you bother to read the good book. A civil union is the non-religious option, it allows for the same rights it’s just a different name where you don’t end up breaking the contract/vow to stay together.

Same reason it’s okay to ask stupid questions, I suppose.

A friend of mine told us that scuba diving was a popular way to kill your spouse because there’s so many things that can go wrong (I have no idea if she was joking or not). Anyway, my husband and I now always joke about taking each other scuba diving if the other one is slightly annoyed or something (aka, “I know I…

I’ll never get why its so goddamn hard to divorce someone. Even the easiest divorces have to go through a lengthy and paperwork heavy legal process. Someone in the comments on jezebel recently wrote that marriages should be like drivers licenses, you have the option to renew or not after x amount of years.

I wanted to make a joke “there’s a third option, you can always hire a hitman” but I couldn’t think of a way to word it that sounded more funny than it did horrendous.

“Calling someone mentally ill is only derogatory if you consider it an epithet”... No. It’s derogatory if it was meant that way when it was used. As in your example of calling someone ‘gay’. The way you used Mentally Ill, or MI, was in a derogatory way. That’s why I have an issue... The context it was used was bigoted…

Yeah... this. I’m not a furry, but I know some. In my opinion they’re no crazier than your average theater crowd (a bit cliquey.. lots of inside jokes.. killer parties). Labeling people you don’t understand as mentally ill is a pretty bad standard.

Yes, this so much! Once when my nieces we’re visiting, I started telling the story of Harry Potter to my six year niece and she couldn’t get over how rude and mean it was they made Harry sleep in a closet and when I got to the part where his uncle wouldn’t let Harry read his letter from Hogwarts, she lost her shit.…

Ok, lets ignore that because clearly we aren’t going to agree. But my point wasn’t about mental illness and education, or descalation.... It was the fact that you (in your post) assumed all of one group (furries in this case) are mentall ill. Not only that, but made a comment about needing trained staff or an incident…

The issue is more than we just differ, and to clarify, I’m not saying my opinion is superior. I’m just saying that you don’t know all the people who consider themselves Furries are mentally ill. THAT is the issue I have, your original post says “How about I respect them just as much as I would anyone else with an…
