I feel this. As an older millennial I feel like we are a generation that got screwed by situation and we are real resentful. We were raised by boomers who promised us what they had then that promise was taken away by situations that they made and then they blame us for being entitled for being mad for not getting what…

See, as a white woman, when people “attack” white feminism, I don’t chirp up with “NOT ALL WHITE WOMEN” because that is not how me and my friends behave. I take the criticism to heart, hope that I’m doing my part to correct it among the people I know on my periphery, and keep on keeping on. On the other hand, I’m…
I’m sorry you feel attacked, but if your generation is attacked it’s usually in comments sections rather than in articles by major publications, and by people who aren’t yet the majority of shakers-and-movers: politicians, editors, CEOs, etc. You can focus on your hurt feelings, or your can collect your own people who…
I hate everything about current events except how the teens are handling it. The post-Millennial generation is probably going to be one of the greatest. Unlike us, they have been raised in and prepared for the financial crisis. And we might have built a culture of social media, but they are its natives—they’ve never…
“But but but.... I really am special. And I do hate drama. And I do know at least some sportsball terms. Did I mention I grew up as a tomboy? And that I’m perfectly comfortable being in gym shorts and a ratty T-shirt all the time? I mean, except when I choose to glam up. Then I do it and do it well. But I don’t feel…
Someone on Jezebel — a regular, no less — once wrote a long and entirely serious comment explaining that she could only be friends with men because she was sarcastic, she liked horror movies, and she liked to bake, and women who share her specialized, hypermasculine interests just don’t exist!
I was going to buy an epilator from Ulta. I was standing in line and looking at the package and noticed it had hairs still in it. I decided I’d try Amazon for it. XD
“My other question is: Why allow makeup to be returned in the first place?”
Stop returning makeup and underwear
Rubbing my hands in glee waiting for the Ulta-We-Are-Not-Nasty-Dirty- Reusers-Sale that will inevitably follow. I’m all about silver linings.
Are you serious? Most gun trade shows will sell you weapons on the spot, no back ground check. The Las Vegas shooter used legally purchased bump stocks to turn his semi-automatic weapons into virtually auto fire weapons.

I was perfectly willing to believe that Tessa and Scott were not an item, but rather two great artists dancing on ice, until someone put a video together of all of their smooches. I’ve watched it twice, and now I am convinced they’re in love.
They look professional and polished and are comfortable to run around in. I have sky high heels and I have super low heels. Seeing how tacky Melania and the Duchess of Cambridge look in their super high heels in their respective roles put me completely off wearing my 4" stilettos in my office. It looks…
Fair, but counterpoint : I’m pretty short (like 5'3") and shorter heels often look more “proportionally correct” on me. Like, a super high heel does not make me look taller — it makes me look like a short girl in big shoes, especially from any view other than the front straight-on.
Bearing in mind that Downton Abbey is a cheap knock-off of Upstairs Downstairs, there is a rather powerful episode of the original where Rose is in jail for her involvement in a suffragette protest. There is a rather raw sequence where she is force fed during a hunger strike.
Yes, your skepticism is noted. You also said, “Don’t know if I believe it, but it’s interesting,” and I’m urging you not to believe it—because it’s BS!
The women didn’t force their hand! No, no. They rewarded women for their good behavior, holding down the home front, becoming nurses and ambulance drivers, working the land, etc. Don’t listen to it. It’s just the way that butthurt old timey dudes tried to take back the narrative and reframe their agency in a movement…
