I have made a deal with myself that I won't lie, I'll just smile and say "Aaaw" if I see an ugly baby, or even a normal baby. But a beautiful baby? I'll say so. I have two friends with gorgeous kids and I admit, because I'm okay with voicing my superficiality, that the Gerber babies made me want to have kids just a…

I'm not saying it's lazy writing, I just think it's unfortunate that that's where people go with it. Or that it should be associated with a rape, if that's what happened. Maybe because even though I know one individual who has done this, most women with pixie haircuts just like them? And it makes it seem like every…

Nonsense! Everyone is having bareback stranger sex! Group bareback stranger sex! With um, whips and handcuffs! This was my experience. Let me tell my experience!

But it does make you laugh does it not? I can't stop giggling.

I don't even watch this but the association of a pixie cut with being raped pisses me off. It's the "I don't want to a feminine woman anymore because feminine women are objectified and raped" haircut. I hate the only justification for cutting your hair off and doing something non gender conforming has to be a result…

My point is that no one is doing anything "bad" to you, and no, it's not ridiculous. What is ridiculous, is crying because you think someone generalized you for five minutes, when people have gone through it their entire lives and are simply making a point. The original poster clearly doesn't think all white women are…

Unfortunately it's very small, about 15 employees, and the HR person is his ex-wife! This is one of the things I like about big companies. There's usually somebody above your boss! I try to keep my mouth shut even though everyone else badmouths him.

Not a terrible idea! I daydream about sex at lunch, I should just move that over to after our daily morning meetings! Too bad he kills the sex drive with his badger face.

an egocentric*

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. It sounds like you made the right choice! I wish I had advice but it's good to hear you're moving on. He also doesn't sound too bright if he doesn't realize he needs permission to cancel a joint account.

Anyone have advice for dealing with a egocentric asshole boss? I think he already gave me new fine lines. I'm almost 25 but I can't have this! The man pounds his fist on the table when he makes a point and says things to other employees like "It breaks my heart, it BREAKS MY HEART, to see her do (A)." And he once…

This has happened in the past. Like a couple years ago there was a similar report though I don't know where it was. Just when my toilet snake fears were over...

Unfortunately I'm also from a conservative area and I mostly try to stay out of these conversations for those reasons. But they were people I otherwise care about, and it's more frustrating to think my friends, even if we're not as close anymore, don't get it. We were pretty civil...but yeah, that is a provoking…

Ugh, and so many ignorant Facebook postings about this. "It's too bad everyone has to bring racism into this." It's already in it! Nobody is injecting racism into anything that wasn't already about racism. Good God.

Do you really think occasional generalizations about white people and systemic discrimination against black people is the same thing? Or as damaging to one party as it is to the other? They're not equivalent.

The irony has not been lost on me either. I hope it's only indicative of these particular white women, but I have a feeling it's not. We're all affected by our privilege in some way and lack of exposure to communities outside our own, and white women need to remember that. I totally understand why women on this site…

24 year old here. I'm in the same boat. I have so many loans to pay. I have an adventurous friend who says she's saving up $10,000 to go to Europe and basically wait until almost all of it is gone and then go back home. Part of me is jealous of her.

I want her haircut, or to pull off her haircut.

That's not bad advice at all. In fact, I may do just that. Not traveling for five years, but making a less grand plan like saving up for a week long trip to Italy. I literally haven't been out of the country since 2005, and not by choice certainly!

Thank you! God, if it's not enough that a family member said "I feel sorry for your generation" and after my grandfather died the funeral director grilled me about attending graduate school. Like, just lay off, okays? I'm working really hard and I'm sorry I like Instagram, I guess that makes me a bad person.
