I didn't come away thinking that she hates singles, but I did certainly come away thinking that she has no clue what it's like when you don't have a fabulously wealthy husband to support you. I came away thinking she has no clue what it's like to try and support yourself, or to have a life where you can't fathom how…

I was noticing that too, that if you're not a wife or a mother, apparently they're not that concerned about you. Probably because we haven't "worked hard enough" to "achieve" that yet, amirightladies?
Apparently, she believes that women work harder and do more in the country. That's what I gathered from her speech, and I found it terribly condescending. Are we supposed to like her because she just validated our existence and work? Instead, I am offended that she thinks I need her validation. Apparently she believes…
Stupid apartment living. Also, stupid working 11-hour days. I'd be a bad puppy mama right now.
sometimes when I have a bad day at work, I stop at the pet store on my way home to snuggle the puppies. It helps.
Even though it was a fair offer, a man probably still would've asked for $2k more, and that's where the gap starts. Some of the actual research on the wage gap indicates that much of it comes from perceptions around negotiation (how people judge others who negotiate, and how that affects their willingness to negotiate…
I think she was already married in the legal way, just not in the Jewish way.
and she said "like cyberbulling or whatever" in the same sentence, which is an excellent demonstration of how articulate she is.
I'm really curious about those women who didn't think they could get pregnant. Why is that? Do they not know how pregnancy works, or did they have specific medical reasons that made them think their parts were nonfunctional? Or was it just the "oh, I missed a couple times last month and didn't get pregnant, so it must…
I wouldn't call this guy a terrorist, but a mass murderer, because as far as we know there's no underlying political motivation. That's the distinction that always made sense to me.
is it maybe more about focusing on the poor single moms, who are in an undoubtedly worse position than well-off single moms, and the focus on poor deadbeat dads is an offshoot of that?
I was wondering too, is she playing the long game here instead of instant gratification? Sometimes in order for your actions towards a cause to work out, you have to not talk about them. If she comes in there as the un-feminist, then she is more able to do the things we really want like hire other women. This may or…
My mom always loves to tell me that I was in Calculus as a fetus, but going to the Olympics as a fetus? 100000x cooler.
only 80% will have premarital sex? I actually think it's pretty stunning that 20% of any population is waiting til marriage to have sex.
That's why I left them too, around middle school if I remember right. Suddenly there were badges on makeup and fashion and I was like, "but, wait... we're not going camping? I'm out."
I would actually find a woman MORE convincing if she didn't have a spouse. I liken it to breast implants: if she's making the decision on her own, good for her. If she's making it with a partner you have to look out for whether the partner is pushing her into it. I'm baffled by this need to validate decisions with a…
well now I want to know what got dismissed...
