On the internet? NO WAY!

I understand that, but Italian cuisine revolves around tomatoes. Maybe it didn’t *way back then*, but it does now.

This is wrong. I had an ultra high risk pregnancy, multiple issues. I can’t drive, and with all the issues, my husband and I decided that he would take me to all my appointments (instead of asking a friend to take me to some of them) so he would be kept in the loop. I had 3 specialists and a neuro, so lots of appts. At…

....To be fair, I’m more likely to get handsy with my husband when he’s doing the dishes (he hates doing the dishes). Maybe it’s reverse psychology rewards, maybe it’s just that I can grope him when he can’t do anything about it and it’s fun, maybe it’s toxic misogyny, who knows?

Quite frankly, I am sick and tired of babies being automatically associated with women. It’s bad enough our careers suffer because we’re the primary care givers when kids get sick.

I get the author’s frustration, in that a number of men kinda assume they don’t really need to do much until the baby is out, or even until the baby is walking.

Representation matters. All too often men are shown to be clueless as fathers and we all chuckle along, or they are demeaned for seeming maternal and therefore unmanly, when all they are doing is actually parenting. Or they’re entirely absent or used as a sort of boogeyman for when a child has to be reprimanded. If…

Yeah I’m tired of shitting on things that can make things better. If targeting men helps men be more engaged let’s do that. Bitching and saying men should just care isn’t going to change a thing.

Any little step counts and frankly there’s nothing wrong with making people feel welcome. Men in the United States are generally not expected to take much interest in raising their children beyond providing for the family and being the “fun” parent. 

Exactly. Serena’s blackness would be put on trial if her dad took her to some bougie salon the same way everyone called Beyonce a bad mother for letting Blue Ivy have a little girl afro.

I don’t fucking care. And you know why? Because just yesterday McConnell stated with a snarky laugh that should a seat open up on the Supreme Court next year he will ignore what he said when Obama appointed Merrick Garland and jam someone through. The Right has been weaponizing the courts for years while we Dems and…

A lot of them would be the same people.

Giving humanity a megaphone was a mistake.

After I complained about the white foster parents in my org not doing their kids’ hair properly, I was asked to teach a seminar (me, a non-professional!). The org made it mandatory for trans-racial foster parents.

Because the internet is a legitimately horrible place, these days.

Gary Owen and Michael Rapaport basically use their significant others to claim white-exempt status and him wanting to know how to do his daughter’s hair is crossing boundaries?

I guess the preferred method is paying someone else to do your daughter’s hair like the Kardashians aka “my allyship can be bought” aka now…

He asked to join a “natural hair” fb group and folks responding about safe spaces? Because “other things are sometimes discussed”? LMAO. Well if that’s the case why is the group named “natural hair”. Or another post that said “those that don’t know who you are may auto-reject you”. I’m a Black mom with natural hair…

This is my situation as well. My job gets stressful, but bossman only cares if we get our work done on. Strolling in a little late - fine. Leaving a little early - cool. Need to take the kids to the dentist in the middle of the day - sure. Work is completed - all good!

I know, right? When I was a supervisor, I was very flexible (pretty much “get your work done and done well, I don’t care where, when, or how”). My team members loved it and were super productive, but some other supervisors were pissed at me (what, too much pressure to be a decent human?).

Was at the Cosmo last week and people of various races were walking through the casino in thongs. Sex workers of various races loitering inside and out. Really doubt systematic racism is the issue here. Sounds like a publicity ploy from a D-lister.
