My family has a cabin on an island that is only accessible by boat, so we have a boston whaler. One time my mom was seated on the edge, my dad revved it up a little too much, and she feel off into the nasty marina. No one noticed until we were across the bay and the golden retriever started flipping out trying to jump…

It’s funny, that roommate and I have remained great friends, but she has learned over time to stop asking me if the things she does are okay. Now that I think about it more, her ultra-conservative upbringing and very (over?) involved parents probably contributed to that - she definitely seemed to feel like she needed…

I didn’t mean to, he just assumed we were dating after hanging out once with friends and didn’t get it (he also “dated” a lesbian for 2 years). He had invited me to a family BBQ and while it would have been fun, I knew it would confirm…

I think is has something to do with that sad deflated DJ Tanner hair all the Duggar ladies sport. Once you have that hair, you have lost forever, trapped in a late 80s sitcom where your husband is always right and the sad music comes right on cue.

“Women have it rough, but” now that that’s out of the way let’s talk about how patriarchy hurts men the most.
