STEM is certainly rougher on women, let alone WOC. I wish you the best! Be angry if its justified, and it is.

Thanks for the support. But I think his miserable life as a white suburban dad in the same midwestern suburb he grew up in is already boring him to death.

100 points for “looming Trump”. Yeah, I’m not sure what he was trying to say. And I doubt he was either.

I feel this. Fuck this stewardess and fuck Delta. Fuck the assumption that every authority figure has to be a white man.

This! I teach in college too and consistently receive evaluations saying I am “slightly weird in a great way”. I mostly just pretend animals have human attributes.

Although my handle suggests otherwise, I grew up with a little dog. She lived till she was 16. She supported our family through near-poverty, multiple school examinations, and my parents’ brutal divorce after an abusive marriage. She firmly took my mother’s side and growled every time she met our father for most of…

Yes yes me too, I’m finishing a humanities PhD early next year! Good luck to you.

I am seriously considering doing this when I get my PhD next year. I expect motherhood evangelists to lose their s$%t, but I think it will still be worth it. What do you think?

Yes! I think it is a peculiar combination of consumerism and infantilization that’s leading to the proliferation of “mommy” as an official label. Also, the newer cultural idea that parents’ lives (schedule, wants, language) revolve around the infant and not the other way around. No one other than your kid should call…

+1 for all the comments saying “please stop calling yourself mommy”

The homogenization of young girls’ ambitions by consumerism.

I have a shirt from a British company called Pepperberry that I love love love. Not only is it not see through but also, they have a sizing system for larger breasted women. Once you choose the right size, your shirt will not gape at the buttons! Amazing.

Go for it if you’re ready! Good luck.

I am that person. Although I have ended up being happily married, I had to learn how to love being by myself WHILE being married. I would not recommend this to anyone.

I have never worn a mermaid (wedding) dress, but I have to say its a very flattering silhouette on most people.

Look, that gown is not so off. Every time I turn on Say Yes to the Dress I see women freaking out over the mermaid silhouette.

Enjoy pissing people off. It will be worth the amusement. If you’re upset, you can wipe your tears with the $$$ you saved :)

I’m sorry! I assure you, you’ll get whatever you want (to be married to someone you love?) out of this, ignore the haters.

I’m sorry you went through this! I am Indian and thought I was privileged enough to grow up without skin color prejudice, other than my cranky old grandma saying the odd thing.

“[E]conomic privilege has a way of eclipsing everything else” This. My generally kind and intelligent white in-laws keep harping on how Hillary is a crook and recently said they would rather vote for Trump than her. Although there’s a lot to criticize Hillary for, they have nothing concrete to offer other than these…
