Does this remind anyone else of the pictures of Bill Clinton that graced newspaper front pages under the headlines announcing the country’s first woman presidential nominee by a major party?

When there’s an animal actor in a movie, the Humane Society is on set monitoring its treatment. Why not make a law that a social worker has to be present when kid actors are on set?

I read this article. It’s great. The evolution of hatred towards Clinton, for insubstantial things like her tone and her personality, reveal that there isn’t a logical or permanent reason for the veteran Clinton haters. They bear the constantly evolving face that misogyny must take, in modern times when we’re so

Uh, excuse me, It’s N Robaman Jew, Esq. He didn’t go to law school to just be called N Robaman Jew, thank you very much.

What’s N Robaman Jew have to do with all this leave him alone

The thing is that what I’d consider acceptable, since this is truly an optional occupation, would be nothing less than artist unions hiring professional, bonded bodyguards for child artists.

The easiest and most effective protection is involved parents.

I suppose so but then again why put your child in that business? If they love show business, there are few towns without amateur theater a parent can closely supervise. YouTube and other outlets have also made it possible for your child to safely get a taste of fame. Needlessly exposing them to predators is, well,

At a fancy restaurant with my ex a few years ago, he gave the waiter his card to pay the bill. A couple of minutes later, the waiter came back and all theatrically started talking exclusively to ME about the dessert menu (which we had already declined). He put the menu in front of my face and described everything in

my favorite is asking for someone’s ID because their card isn’t signed. They are aghast that you just don’t take them at their word that it’s their card. I’ve gotten “do I look like a credit card thief?” so many times.

Also, if it is outside your usual spending pattern or area, many companies decline the card out of concern it was stolen. Just got back from overseas and had my card declined three times before I called them to clear it up. A hassle but also a great protection.

Agreed. I work for a credit card company. It happens all the time and for a million reasons that don’t include you being a deadbeat. One time a card I had with my own company was declined. When I called in later to check it was because the post office had returned a statement. At that time part of my job included

As a person who worked in different types of stores for ten years: This is not as embarrassing as people think it is. It happens, literally, every day. It doesn’t always mean your credit is bad or that you ran out of money. Try another card or come back later, people do it all the time.

Women of color are feminists and share when this happens, and some WWFs (woke white friends) do, too. That’s the basis for #sayhername. In the popular media, it’s all blonde, straight, middle-class, christian, white girls. In feminist social media, like twitter, etc, we get more representation of all kinds of women.

We all know that (white) feminism has, both historically and currently, a problem when it comes to race. It larelgy fails to address the interplay of racism and sexism in our culture—both in terms of their interaction between black women and black men and white people in general, but more specifically, white women, as

Although she included women of color in her examples, I found it unrealistic that she made it through all these words - including talking about a “hierarchy” within even feminist media, yet didn’t mention race. Because the following is definitely NOT true for all:

Good.

There’s a strong intersection between the type of dude who wants a brown turbo diesel manual wagon, and the type of dude who would fly 5000 miles on a whim to see a woman he’s only texted.

I hope Joe wears the “Barack” bracelet and Barack wears the “Joe” bracelet.

Not JUST taking the money, though.
