But were your girly days about to start? Sorry, it just kills me that she calls them this.

Yeah, I thought he looked like 12.
She isn’t even wearing black.....
No shit. But also, when you think of human beings as something that can be bought, sold, and possessed, it becomes a matter of economics. So yeah, it was about economics but only because the south couldn’t economically sustain their way of life without slavery.
Yeah, this is terrible. I feel for the girl, because I can’t imagine what it would be like to hear this about my father. I mean, I don’t honestly know if I would even believe 50+ women - I am that positive about my father’s goodness. I’d like to think that I would be rational and realize that it was not a grand…
I know someone with the last name Cruz that got dangerously close to naming their daughter Penelope before someone random was finally like, “You can’t name your kid after Penelope Cruz.” It honestly had not occurred to them.

It was “semi-formal” so I had to buy a special dress and everything. I wouldn’t have gone but I felt bad because she had no one but family on her guest side. So I…
Remember when assistant DA Andrew Shirvell in Michigan got fired for harassing University of Michigan’s gay student body president?
I like to think that it is not about Stockholm Syndrome or falling in love with your captor but is a fable meant to comfort girls having to marry for the sake of their families. I think it was meant to be an allegory that arranged marriages don’t have to end up miserable and that you can grow to love the beastly old…
