Thrift store buying is best buying.

I’m stunned he didn’t go for “shrill.”

I think when someone (else, obviously) has decided they’ve won the gold in the Oppression Olympics, it usually does not evolve much from there. Sadly.

It’s a reasonable question, Stella Fisher. You can have problems with the way Caitlyn Jenner presents herself and not be a TERF.

Anna, Anna, Anna, oh my Lord, Anna, I know this is an old post but I am an old and I cannot thank you enough for steering me to that Prancercise link.

Can you wear a white Bettina gown when renewing your vows? (Asking for a friend. ;)

This is a young person’s garment. I wore rompers as a teen-ager, and as the old fashion adage goes: If you were old enough to wear it the first time, you should probably avoid it the second time.

I should amend my comment to say he the problems arose because he was sleeping undergraduates in his classes, but his amorous interests were not limited to his own department. For clarity, I am not a fan of a college professor sleeping with an undergraduates.

Am I the only one laughing because the ad at the bottom of this story is for floor cleaner?

Exactly.

That’s a more nuanced question. Honestly, I need time to think about that, and I am in no way trying to brush you off.

!!!!!1!!!!1!

Yes! I thought it devolved into a contest of I-am-more-feminist than thou.

Thank you for putting this much more eloquently than I did.

I think they were all college students; their reasoning was certainly at the undergraduate level. The problem is that feminism has its own version of fringe “Tea Party” equivalents.…

This happened earlier (although I do understand and empathize with many of their points) today on an article about sanitation and it’s effects on women in Nepal. The threads seemed to degenerate into finger-pointing about feminists who don’t care about people of color, intersectionality, privilege, cultural…
