No lie, that sounds like Donald Trump tweeting from Deeley’s account.
Agreed. And she is usurping the larger narrative that Till’s own mother created — a painful and searing critique of racial violence — and justifying that silencing/flattening by saying, “I get to bc I’m a mom, too!”
You’re a sanctimonious blowhard.
How does that logic work? Moonlight is based on a semi-autobiographical work and was written by Jenkins in collaboration with the original author. Not to mention, both Jenkins and McCraney shared the experience of growing up in Liberty Square with drug addicted mothers, so in a way, it’s semi autobiographical for both…
Indeed, Schutz’s intention is largely meaningless in the face of the work. Schutz treats her source as simply an object; as a photograph rather than a record of a teenager murdered because he was black.
Probably unrelated but i feel it very much is related. I’m seeing ads about the debut of a show about police killings of a black person, an obvious allusion to the rash of extrajudicial killings and police cover ups of the past several years. I just find the ease of which white folks (yes i know it’s starring a black…
It can be hard to put your foot down, because no one wants to have to nag.
Well said. When I would bark at my husband for not emptying the trash or picking up after himself, he said he didn’t notice it. Literally expecting someone else to take care of it.
You know, growing up we were warned against marrying people who were cheaters, alcoholics/addicts, domestic abusers, etc. But another vice which can have profound effects on a marriage is LAZINESS. Having a home, maintaining a marriage, and raising kids is a lot of necessary and tedious work. If your partner is…
2. You probably don’t understand how to change a diaper, handle breast milk/prepare formula, or any of the 80,000 other things involved in child-rearing. Figure it out or ask. Your wife doesn’t actually know as much as you think either, but she isn’t using that as an excuse to do nothing.
I am so sorry you’ve had to deal with that crap. :(
Honey, this sounds exactly like my life...BEFORE my divorce. Run.
Because the reality is that men—even the feminist ones, even the well meaning ones—were socialized to think housework and childrearing aren’t their problem. Even with both partners working at an equal relationship, that socialization is hard to kill. The experience is just fundamentally different, so the frustrations…
This partner didn’t want you to work? What is THAT? How can someone dictate someone else whether to work or not? Do you want to work? “Working” inside the home is so exploitative like you said it goes from sun up to sun down and housework expands within the time allowed to it. It never fuckin ends. This arrangement…
How Not to Hate Your Husband is a book for messy reality, but I can’t shake my frustration that its twin, written for men, isn’t out there somewhere: How to Keep Your Wife From Hating You After Kids.
How Not to Add an Additional “Child” to Mother After You Become a Mother By Requiring Your Husband to Act Like a Grown-Ass Man
Today’s self-proclaimed feminist men aren’t nearly as feminist as they think they are.
