I

So glad I'm not on facebook anymore. All it ever did for me was cause anxiety and suggest I friend my ex-boyfriends. This new ask button sounds like a terrible idea.

There's also this feature of human language where you go to a person, or write to a person, to ask their relationship status.

No, the danger is that these activists provoke a similar reaction among the usual donors. Nobody worries about a few struggling 27-year-olds.

Unless her last name is on one of the buildings, I don't know how effective this tactic will be.

I agree. That kind of internalized misogyny and women trying to arrange with this world plays a great role in that.

But poverty and sexual abuse are incredibly intertwined! Especially for women.

Just dress like a Mormon missionary. That way you can avoid the obvious attention a dress like this would draw, while simultaneously ensuring every single person on the planet avoids contact with you.

I got a job as a hostess at a local restaurant in college. My roommate was a bartender there, and one night I had gone up there to visit her. I guess the manager took a liking to me, because I had mentioned to my roommate that I needed to get a job and when she mentioned it around the manager, he apparently jumped at…

Yup. Well I wouldn't say 99%, but there are men who aren't interested in relationships, they want women as commodities - some for sex, others for service or emotional support. They just don't see us as people.

This can't be real. Or could it?

I worked at a shitty mini-golf course, batting cages, etc. My coworkers were typical 20-something high school drop outs, losers, wannabe mechanics who couldn't change brake pads, and the like. Being a prep school student, I'd get picked on/ bullied daily as I was accused of being forced by my rich ($42k a year?)…

I don't know what people are thinking when they grab a server's arm or hand. I've seen this happen so many fucking times and it's frustrating. AND IT'S ALWAYS WHEN THE SERVER IS CARRYING SOMETHING. One of my coworkers got so angry she told a guest "Don't ever touch me again!! If I was different type of person, I could…

This reminds me of a serving job I had back in college. I was working memorial day weekend at a golden corral. I had just finished refilling the chocolate fountain when I heard a commotion over by the 6 topper by the bathrooms. A tourist had grabbed the arm of a waitress as she was walking by with a full tray,…

She's only healthy if you ignore the uterine prolapses, gallbladder problems, preeclampsia, hernias, urinary incontinence, and pelvic floor dysfunction.

The surrogacy angle is a nice result. But I would think that you should ideally be mentally stable as well, to be a surrogate ? I don't know if taking on pregnancy out of a craving, is a stable state of mind. But I'm not a doctor.

One of my favorite stories was told me third party by a co worker. He used to work at a divey breakfast place, and they were always slammed with amateurs, even worse on weekend brunches. A customer grabbed one of the servers as he was walking by with a full tray of drinks, and yelled "Hello, I need another…

As she was telling the manager her story, the owner came up to her from behind, put her in an headlock/chokehold with his left arm, and wrapped his right arm around her and stuck his thumb in her mouth. He leaned in and said "That's right, I'm your fucking boss."

This is basically how 90% of male-initiated open relationships turn out. The girl is dragged in kicking and screaming and then discovers that she's in demand, while the 'hot' guy regrets it.
