I felt my baby move for the first time today. So that was life-altering.

Stop saying "spirit animal".

Mostly, what I got out of this was that Miley got called racist, and she didn't even bother to actually read NinjaCate's article explaining *why* she was racist. So, she doesn't care at all about making sure she isn't actually being racist, she just doesn't even consider it a possibility at all, and can then dismiss…

I bought my husband a bunch of Swiss Army-type pocket knives and tools and then wrapped them all up separately for his stocking, so he kept pulling knives out of his stocking yesterday morning.

Your family clearly trusts you a great deal.

I'm just imagining you sharpening all your knives in a dark room, muttering about how "they" will regret giving you such terrible gifts.

I'm less worried about the JLaw thing than I am about the whole "touched up more than a choir boy at the Vatican". WTF Joan Rivers? There are tons of touched up jokes that don't go straight to pedophilia. Like for example "touched up more than Joan River's face" - rumor goes 700 surgeries, non?

Labeling something "comedy" doesn't make it immune from criticism and it certainly doesn't change the fact that it's offensive. If Sacco had said what she said in her tweet in a comedy club, she would have gotten applause, but because she's in PR and she said it on her corporate Twitter account, the entire internet…

Those terms are only used to describe a certain group of white people, whereas ghetto is a term often used to describe black people in general.

No one is pretending "ebonics" isn't a thing (the correct term is actually AAVE), but it is wrong for you to assume that a shitty joke about African Americans spelling things weird/wrong is simply a respectable reminder that there are multiple vernaculars in the US that differ based on race and culture.

Whenever people make fun of black names, it's never without racism. White names get made fun of all the time, but when was the last time you heard someone refer to a white name as "ghetto"? Also, studies have shown that if you have a stereotypical black name, it's harder for you to get a job than if you had a…

It's called AAVE and it is a legitimate dialect, fyi.

I think there is class/race sensitivity around making fun of certain African American accents. I'm not American or black, but I can understand why it cuts deep to see a rich, white man saying something like that, because it comes off as patronising, snobby and a leeeetle bit racist. I don't think making fun of ethnic…

Who puts a tree into a truck bet top first? City slickers, that's who.

I was thinking about this the other day. So many of the things we take for granted in romance are incredibly patriarchal. It just occurred to me how gross the idea of your father "giving you away" at your wedding is. I mean, sure, tradition etc, but the idea is literally rooted in GIVING AWAY PROPERTY TO ANOTHER MAN.

I find those acceptable in elementary school. Because you're not going to be dating anyone then (god at least I hope. I'm an old, I don't know what goes on anymore), and kids are still looking at their parents as incredible role models.

I always thought those were called Purity Rings, and Promise Rings were something your boyfriend gave you in high school because you were totally going to get married some day (and were probably having sex).
