My mom really wants me to have “at least one child” so that I have someone to take care of me when I’m old...and I was like, uhhhhhh, mom, that’s not how that works. Yeah, it’s gonna be fun when she gets older. But hey, my lack of having to financially support children of my own is going to work to her…

Right? What if the son decides to become an artist or move to Tibet and become a monk or do anything in the universe other than take over his father’s business? Or what if he sucks at business to the point where dad doesn’t want to leave him in charge of it?
...and his son will grow up with the knowledge that he was genetically engineered to live the life his father wanted for him! Not to mention help absolve his mom’s guilt over a manslaughter charge! Healthy stuff all around!!!
“ Things just went too far and someone got scared”
I’m all for keeping the pressure up but he won’t resign unless he can score himself a “better” position that he can spin as a step up. He won’t want to lose face. And since we can’t recall him, he’ll likely survive this term. The key is not making it possible for him to run again.
Alvarez didn’t announce the firing of Officer Jason Van Dyke (who pumped 16 bullets into a teenager who was walking away from him,) until the actual day the footage of the cold-blooded murder was released to the public. Until then he was still collecting a paycheck. Coincidence? You decide.
Rahm Emmanuel straight up conspired with the alderman of Chicago, including many black ones, to cover up the shooting of Laquan McDonald in exchange for political favor. You should write as many articles on this as you do on Trump until that pos resigns.
A shining light on a dark, dark night.
Best news I’ve heard all day
I’d like to introduce you to some badass lesbians, who dress up like that without giving one single fuck about whether men find it attractive.
It can’t be something other than a target of male-directed fetishism? Women don’t have the agency to honestly like dressing this way for the purpose of their own fetishes, to feel empowered by it, and to be dominant?
Well, it’s HER battle, isn’t it? She doesn’t have to make you understand every single reason why this is an empowering act for her. Now, you came just to be a salty person, when you, too could have found something nice to say about this situation. Why? Because she and most of us, as her supporters, are philistines…
Libraries get rid of book ALL the time for a myriad of reasons. This book sounds like a great example of book that could indeed be taken off the shelves. As the librarian mentions, they have lots of superhero books so this isn’t going to leave a hole in their offerings. As the writer mentions, this one has only one…
Teasing someone until they cry is called bullying. I dealt with this by going straight to the parent and telling her that her son was nor allowed to play with my daughter any more. I also informed the teacher and other school officials of the situation and had a long talk with my daughter about what a bully was and…
As another teacher I would disagree that male and female negative behavior is treated the same except possibly in a special needs classroom. Many, many studies have been done showing that girls who are loud, disruptive, violent, etc. are shut down and disciplined much more quickly and stringently than boys doing the…
About the fairytale thing, just ditch the ones popularized by British gentlemen and look up some of the many, many stories featuring Vassilisa The Wise.
I agree with you on this, that once the books have been bought you shouldn’t censor them or take them off the shelves, but I think it’s still good that she called out the librarian. They are the ones who decide what books to buy. So maybe next time she’s buying a superhero book, she will think about that mom who…
That karate anecdote really hit home for me. Karate was my life from ages 10-16, when I finally got my black belt. However, once thrown into class with the other black belts, most of whom were men in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, I quit within six months. Why? Because they made inappropriate and sexist remarks about my…
And as a mixed raced child who had a white mother who took every single racial and sexist battle - and won them, I’ll say: the exhaustion is worth it.
