Actually, given how this conversation went, I feel the need to add to my previous comment: there are some men that impress me. HOWEVER, not a SINGLE ONE has not said or done some fucked up sexist shit at some point. Because they’re not women, and they don’t get it. They don’t have the lived experience.

Yeah I’m surprised to see that hasn’t been fixed yet... It’s been a day since they posted this piece.

Give hemp milk a try sometime if you’re so inclined. Oat milk has a good texture, but I like the flavor of hemp milk better. It’s been my go-to for the last several years.

And #MeToo is the first time these men have ever heard that assault and harassment is bad? I have to say, I don’t get how #MeToo is supposedly some revelation for people. What I think it’s actually done is forced people to get on the anti-harassment bandwagon, even though they still don’t think it’s actually a…

Yup, choices are good, thank you very much. I have concerns about the dairy industry, plus my husband is lactose intolerant, so we’re all about the alterna-milks. And why the hell wouldn’t we want choices on the market? Rice milk is thin and not particularly flavorful, but great for people with loads of allergies.…

Noooo ugh.

Yeah, I’ve had plenty of the same - being disappointed by men that I thought were better than all that. It’s truly heartbreaking. My boss, who I considered a mentor, and a close friend at work have both said some awful shit and doubled down, and it kills me every time.

Dead Can Dance, ha, that takes me back.

This is the correct take. I mean, her stuff is fine, but it’s pure pop.

I’m not going to defend the Tigers and don’t feel informed enough to offer any opinion on them other than “it’s complicated”, but MIA has also never directly supported the Tigers. Her father was involved with the group, but she’s always maintained that her voice is as a civilian refugee who fled violence in Sri Lanka.…

The issue is that even though I agree that yes there are ways in which strict views of grammar can be elitist, because there are different dialects and language is ever-evolving, that’s not what we’re talking about with Trump. He is straight up abusing the language. He doesn’t speak like a particular community - he…

I agree with you in that I will never go to a male ob/gyn either, but I do know multiple women who have male gynos that they love. Personally, I just feel more comfortable with a woman, and I think many many women feel similarly. But it’s not perfect to say that I look for someone who shares my experience, because I…

I think that was a really important and smart thing to insist on a public apology. You’re an awesome mom.

The people that wave the flag hardest are almost ALWAYS violating the flag code, and the irony kills me.

Back in middle/high school, I also used to sit out the pledge in protest. It’s a fucking weird indoctrination ritual. For all the years I did it, I only had one teacher say something to me about how I “had to” stand even if I didn’t say the words, and I insisted it was my right to protest the idea that this country…

I mean, cardboard straws are just awful. I’d much rather we move away from straws entirely than start using those. I don’t see why we can’t just drink from glasses at restaurants the way pretty much everyone does at home, at least for water and such.

I hear you, and I was similarly thinking there was some sort of terrible trauma going on here, but that doesn’t come close to excusing or even really explaining burying a newborn baby alive in the woods. Honestly, I’m not sure the mother would have been the attempted murderer here anyway - do you think someone who…

I know this is meant to be a feel good story, and in a way it is, but I can’t get over how horrible it is for someone to have buried a baby alive... What kind of a monster does that? Like they couldn’t have even abandoned him where someone would find him?

I would bet money there is a strong correlation between cutting and being treated too much like an adult much too young. That has been my observation anyway.

I mean, we’re talking about a 12 year old. Obviously he’s a bully, but I think when kids lash out with this sort of sexual harassment behavior it’s usually because they’ve been through or seen some shit themselves. I think a 12 year old has a decent chance of reforming into a decent adult with help.
