What’s tacky is that you’re not considering your guests here and their different financial circumstances, and then royally shitting all over them for not being courteous enough to *your* wants and needs, while never considering they might actually have wants and needs of their own.

Consider for a minute you’re having…

I get it, but the email still makes me very uncomfortable. Judith Martin aka Miss Manners to the rescue! She says that if you don’t want to sound entitled and demanding and risk alienating your friends and family, then graciously accept the gifts (but don’t EVER expect people to give a gift, she doesn’t care what the…

No, you’re not pathetic. We all have that person we still think about. We just don’t like talking about it because we think it makes us look pathetic. Love, man. What a mindfuck.

This is what I was raised with too. It was always all the rage to go to Crossroads (another used clothing store) for all your outfits. No one had new clothes when I was in high school, it was all about “vintage,” which I was perfectly fine with. People I knew cared more about ski vacations than new clothes. I feel…

I not only brought in firewood, but started the fire every night. I also put up the holiday decorations, including the lights, took out the trash, helped paint the house, and helped my dad repair things on many occasions, because the boys were out with friends. My frustration is that my tasks were daily and taken for…

This is such a fascinating article on so many levels. Thank you!

If I’d known my comment would be on here, I would have edited it first. Still, though, exciting! Thanks! I guess I have sexism to thank for this 15 minutes of fame? ;)

Not just pooh-pooed, but kicked off the account, I would imagine.

I don't know, I feel like Joan was rightfully pissed at Peggy for insinuating Joan brings this sort of sexism on herself, so Joan was saying "I have curves and naturally fill clothes out differently than you do and it's not my fault, so until you have the curves I do I don't want you telling me I'm 'bringing this on…

Ugh. I was also accused of having an eating disorder while studying abroad (in university). It was by my housemate a week after we’d met in front of all our other housemates. I put on a brave face and never mentioned anything more of it, but I was humiliated and cried to my mom back home for an hour after I excused…

Ugh, unfortunately the most sexism I’ve experienced was in the home. My parents, hippies though they are, never asked my brothers to help with anything other than dishes, and even then they didn’t have to do them after middle school. It was me and my sister’s job to do all the housework, even well into college: if I…

See, I'm more of the mindset that I wouldn't want to leave everything behind and start new...especially not right away. I'd definitely consider staying in that house, because of the memories.

Everyone has a different way of coping. I think we're all too quick to judge people's motives, especially the motives of…

He didn't just shush her, but told her HOW TO DO HER JOB IF SHE EVER WANTS THE PRIVILEGE OF HAVING HIM ON HER SHOW AGAIN. No, he would not do that to a man. I'm willing to bet everything I have in my bank on that. Which isn't much, but still.

I love that you know that. I'm always heartbroken that none of my friends follow her or Muppet. Muppet is my spirit animal.

"But I'm not drawing conclusions so much as pointing out that you can't just assume that men and women are equally 'innately funny' and therefore all differences in our comedic talents is due to socialization."

"But I'm not drawing conclusions so much as pointing out that you can't just assume that men and women are equally 'innately funny' and therefore all differences in our comedic talents is due to socialization."

And I'm pointing out that you cannot assume that genitalia makes someone innately funnier than someone else…

False. We have one rule in Cali: Don't call it Cali.

If there is someone sitting next to you, you're not allowed to take up their seat. It's common knowledge and common courtesy. Why does this concept suddenly offend so many people?!

Well, Americans love a party. Any excuse to drink and socialize and feel like you have friends. I mean we celebrate Cinco de Mayo and throw Halloween parties long after we would be deemed pedophiles for Trick-or-Treating, for crying out loud! That doesn't stop our deep-seeded desire for a good (or mediocre) party. …
