Are white people EVER not completely clueless?

Exactly. “I liked the way you did it last time better” or what have you usually goes over pretty well. So long as you don’t come off as demanding or ungrateful I don’t see why it’s a problem.

When they ask about something I didnt like, I always turn it to what I liked.

A lot of the time there is a kind way to criticize the other person’s cooking, by saying “personally I like it with less salt, but everyone’s taste is different” or whatever. But it’s true that people just don’t want to hear it a lot of the time.

Addendum to the alternate hypothesis: people aren’t willing to call each other out on bad food preparation, which is ultimately a shame.

yeah that part of the story made me cringe... its like grandma making a plate for you when you are 5 and you dont want the brussel sprouts

as she held the serving spoon. A move that, considering what was in the spoon, I should’ve considered a threat.

Yes. And brown mustard or get the fuck out.

Precisely! I'm hoping my husband will come around eventually. I'm wearing him down slowly and having a daughter has completely changed his perspective- just like it has changed mine.

Oh I completely agree with you. There's also a lot of women who associate feminism with misandry, it's a shame.

That would require him to read... No I'm not proud I married someone who hates reading. -_- His other qualities redeem this flaw though.

This is what Tumblr and pop-feminism are doing to the brand name.

Being a guy who knows some other guys, one possible reason for that is that in the minds of many men, feminism = misandry. Also, you can buy into the basic, common-sense tenets of feminism like equality without doing the same about things like institutional patriarchy and rape culture. I am not trying to psychoanalyze…

Yeah, as much as I dislike Humanist Boyfriend, this one is really bad too. The thing with this guy is that he's just close enough to come off as a feminist, but when you're 5 days late or you want to have a discussion about how you both work full time but one of you is doing twice as much housework, he's never going…

well, actually Rebecca you WOULDN'T fuck Glenn Beck. But if you could kindly tell me your thoughts on the wage gap among genders, I'm about to SCHOOL this chick in my feminism lit class. LOL.

Is it bad that I read that in the Roach voice? Because I still remember exactly how they sound. For some reason.

Someone's gonna get cut...

My husband falls clearly under the "Feminist Who Doesn't Know He's A Feminist Until You Tell Him." He does fully 50% of the child-rearing (when he comes home our daughter becomes his shadow), and also does the majority of cooking/ cleaning/ shopping because I'm so damn sick all the time. If I was physically able to…

Hmm. If I can't have Actual Feminist or Feminist Who Doesn't Know He's A Feminist Until You Tell Him, I'd say that Non-Feminist Good Dude is the best of the bunch.
