I don't understand this at all. I'm in that age group (20-25), but I was lucky to find a job before I graduated and haven't lived at home full-time since high school. If I lived at home with my parents, I'd be taking on more of the housework bc I'd be happy they let me live there (presumably for free or a reduced…

Who are these lazy ass young adults? Just because you are your parents home doesn't mean that you can not only make your own lunch and do your laundry, but you could also get off your ass and do a bit of dusting, making dinner and SHOCKING! maybe do your parents' laundry. Jesus.

The fuck? I don't understand still having mom do your laundry, even in high school. I live with my parents because I'm majorly underemployed in these glorious postgrad years, but I cook for myself when I need to and have always done my own laundry.

My conspiracy theory is that they kept it a secret because they are embarrassed about being boyfriend and girlfriend on That 70s Show, too. I mean, it is a little cheesy.

Utterly and completely mesmerized by that cat gif. I'm seeing cats in a whole new light.

This reminds me of how sick Dan Savage got of hearing defensive Christians say "we're not all like that!" in response to every story about fundamentalist homophobia, as though Christians were the real victims here. His argument was that as long as they didn't actively speak out against those elements in their…

I have a friend who wanted to get out of finals, so he went down to the police station and asked to be arrested. The cops put him in a cell, as requested, but then his Mom decided to punish him by making him stay all night.

I totally agree - this is probably the first (and dare I say last) time I've been encouraged by something a Kardashian has said, and I, for one, will not mock it.

I think affluenza has protected her from many things and thoughts.

What should she do then? Aside from go back in time and correct her mistakes? As a POC, I'm not horrified that she didn't get this sooner because of her past relationships/her family member's experiences. There's a lot of people who I've assumed would have a better grasp of racism because of their past and didn't. And…

You have a point, but is it really worth shitting on her because she didn't get it sooner? For some people (actually, a lot of people), it takes direct experience with an issue to understand it's importance. It's not ideal, but she can't exactly go back in time can she?

I think it's difficult for most people to admit their ignorance the way that Kim Kardashian has with regard to racism. I don't understand the instinct to mock someone for this. Thinking that these issues are everyone else's problem is not actually that uncommon, especially for this generation. So good for her for…

I agree, "mitter" is odd. But so is "manny" because nanny isn't REALLY a female word, if you will, either. It's kind of like "nurse," it's all society's perception of the word me thinks.

Right. I knew a guy in college who was planning on going into primary education. He always struggled with the implicit assumptions that people had: "Why would a man want to work with kids? Are you some kinda pedophile?"

There is a HUGE shortage of men in the primary school teaching profession. You normally don't even see a male face in education until you hit High School, which is the stage where society is apparently more comfortable with having them show up.

Of course, from there the pattern becomes a shift to male *dominance* at…

Agreed. The name is idiotic, but the stereotype that men can't be nurturers is idiotic and harmful. It's harmful to men because it basically assumes that they are all pedophiles and/or incompetent, and it's harmful to women because if men can't take care of babies that must mean that it's women's job (so don't you…

I'll probably get flamed to death over this, but I really don't think fraternities and sororities are the devil as people here seem to think. People act like Greek life is the only thing causing rape on campus. The fact is, the same guys in frats will still get together and have parties and potentially roofie girls.…

I can flatter a girl's world by playing prince/princess or entertain a little boy by wrestling for hours.

Thank you. There's nothing inherently gendered about the word "babysitter". Now, if it were babysittress or vagina-having-mother-surrogate, I could see it.
