Well I don't know a lot about Pittsburg but that's a pretty good description of Paris

I mean, that's not a TOTALLY inaccurate way to describe Paris...

Fuck difference does it make, though? Even #notallmen don't have the right to impose a compliment on you just because it happens to be innocuous. The world is not going to stop turning because I didn't get to tell that girl she has really cool hair. My brain is separate from my mouth because EVERYBODY DOESN'T NEED TO…

LOLOL but is it cashmere?!

Next time a guy stops me on the street to compliment my clothes:

But even if it's mental issues, there's still the underlying patriarchal reasons. That's why you don't see mentally ill women going around shooting men if they reject her at the same frequency.

Far easier to "teach" a white kid "diversity" in a bigoted area than it is to raise a biracial child in one.

No I mean that a white child in an intolerant area can be taught about intolerance by their parents with 'look, see that, it's bad.' A brown child in an intolerant area learns racism is wrong because *it hurts them.* The distance I'm speaking about is white privilege.

Because when your kids are white, you can speak to them about the racial intolerance of others from a safe distance. But when your child is brown and you aren't and no one else is, it's going to be a much, much more painful lesson. The latter is something I would want to avoid if possible, at least early on. The…

Many people raising children of races different from their own would benefit from cultural competency classes, this couple included. You can't escape racism. I know this is a bit of a straw man, but can you imagine if the response to a black couple facing racism was "just move"? Come on, now.

Yeah, when I read this line, "Towns like Berkeley, California or New York City have large populations of kids that look like Payton," I thought, "She's gonna need the money from that lawsuit to go from Ohio to Berkeley or NYC."

In their world, apparently any male would go though years of isolation, hatred, bigotry, threats of murder, thoughts of suicide, for the mere CHANCE of pretending to be transgendered and to legally able to go into the girl's lockeroom for a peek at the showers.

So much yes to the men's waist/inseam sizing - and could we get men's pocket's while we're at it? I have a pair of men's jeans that I wear around the house and you can fit your whole hand in, wow.

god i give the best advice, why don't i have a book deal.

if i looked at all like tinkerbell i would only dress like tinkerbell and then when people were like why are you dressed like tinkerbell i would be like UH DO YOU SEE HOW FUCKING CUTE I LOOK?

And they wonder why it seems like everyone's wearing leggings. Guess what - it's because we're tired of having to shop like a kid who had a growth spurt (try on EVERYTHING) every time we need new jeans!

In the same shopping trip I have purchased size 2 and size 8 items. This makes no sense.
