You are not crazy. Literally the only way to stop systemic sexism is to teach our sons the RIGHT way. One of my only goals in life is to raise a feminist son. It ain’t easy but I think doable. Also why do kids need so may toys?! Unless it’s a major holiday or a birthday, stop with the toys!

Girl, I moved my entire family while pregnant to an apartment on the first floor with a yard because my best friend (my dog) had a bunch of ACL problems and needed to be on super limited bed rest for a year +. You’re a good mom and I’m so sorry for your pup. Mine hated bed rest, too. She was youngish and sprite and

You’ll do a great job when the time comes. I have a son and daughter a bit older than yours. We’ve already had age appropriate talks about sex. I also deliver babies for a living so they know all about how babies are made. The first talk I had with my daughter was when she was 4 and asked why men were yelling at me

The first time I remember being sexually assaulted was when I was 14 or 15. Sitting in a taxi:Tuk Tuk in India. For some reason I was sitting in front and my dad and brothers were sitting in the back. The driver felt me up, his hand was between my legs playing with me. I was FROZEN. Terrified to move or say anything.

Of course you were being sarcastic about the murdering. I was, too. I get it.

Eh. I’m a judgey parent and think some things are just more right than others. You’re not a bad parent but you ARE giving your children subtle cues on what you believe about sex. The fact that you’re more comfortable with your kids taking part in a TRIPLE HOMICIDE (killing 3 humans!) than being intimate with a person

Bleagh. Maybe be more open with your kids about sex? Show them it’s not something to be ashamed of or something that needs to be hushed about in the corners of the house, away from dad. My dad talked to me about sex when I was 14.l and it made me a better person for it. He bought my tampons, drew me a bath when I had

I hear you. My point was that jobs and politics are not the end all be all of LIFE. Your job is not “it” for you. I truly hope you know that. :(

You are completely missing the point. I know trump sucks but there is more to life than American politics.

Or if you’re a young mom, being told “wow you don’t look like a mother. Are you sure you aren’t the nanny? Have any dad fantasies @ work?” Nope. I’m the mom. Leave me alone.

Love. Very true. Also very black mirror.

I grew up on the border of Thailand and Burma. I’m not sure there are more lovely people than the Burmese. The Chinese have been infiltrating Burma quietly for the last few decades...you can see the pop up of more and more infustructure paid for by Chinese corporations all the time. I’m not surprised they want the

Nope. Dads at the playground are gross.

Am I the only person in the world who still doesn’t understand skin tone and know her own skin tone?

Excellent. Yes. Wake up. Don’t be gross.

Yes but those indigenous people who “NEED” fur are not buying Gucci fur. Good for the fashion industry for changing. Fur for fashion is so cruel and outdated.

It seems you’re having trouble with the empathy part of your brain. Why is a mink wrong but a kangaroo is ok? Your logic is confusing and incorrect. If you’re talking about fur being cruel to animals...both mink and kangaroo feel pain and emotions. Take a look at your logic.

So how about not being a consumer of those things? You know it’s morally icky, so stop. It’s no different than men cat calling women and saying “I know it’s wrong but everyone does it and I like it so why shouldn’t I stop?” It’s wrong-stop it. I’m getting so fed up with people picking and choosing their moral battles.

I am shocked and disgusted by the amount of people here who think fur is fine. In today’s world where we need people to become more empathetic, it makes me very sad to see a lack of empathy towards animals. People who think fur for fashion in 2017 (not talking cave men staying warm) is cool are sick and ignorant. Fur

I’d really love a post or discussion about what we can do to stop rape culture? Say our male friend is creepy towards women? What if our boss is innapropriate with us and there is no HR? What if our taxi driver makes sexual comments to us? How are we “supposed” to handle this in the real world? Wuitting a job won’t
