Hey neighbor! We're in Basalt. :)
Word. I learned how to drive in the Rockies (on the western slope). My husband spent his whole life in Albuquerque until we spent 7 years where I grew up. He drove in the summer and I drove in the spring, fall, and winter. He did manage to feel ok driving on snow packed roads after a few years, but so long as…
My husband grew up in Maine and lived his entire adult life in northern NH. He was a TERRIBLE winter driver. He never even put snow tires on his car.Whenever we went anywhere together in the winter, I drove. To be fair, he was a terrible driver in every season - a truth that he readily admitted to.
Arrgh!! Number 4 is one of my pet peeves! "Shakespeare" did not say that, he had one of his characters, Polonius, say that. And Polonius was a pompous, ridiculous, pea-brained fool! His "advice" to Hamlet was a joke, and yet people quote that line like Jesus himself said it! (In fact, I read once where a majority of…
Christ this reads like an early 2000s high school student's AIM profile.
I'm Japanese/Native Hawaiian and I literally just cheered out loud at reading your posts. On the Hawaiian side of my family, I grew up around strong, hard working women who raised their children on their own - no men present (ironically, this is my dad's family and yeah, he was not part of our lives at all). My…
It's a SERIOUS gulf between white feminist & Black. It seems white feminism is born from being rejected by men. Not sexually or anything stupid like that but rejected 1 way or another. Black feminism is born from having 2make it without a man present. As a male when speaking 2black feminist I'm greeted as a brother or…
No, instead they walk into movie theatres and schools and shoot people there in cold blood. #smh at American self-rigtheousness
THANK YOU. It's a dream for a lot of black women (not me, mind) to be stay at home moms. She was also the primary breadwinner for the family for a long time. One of the reasons that so many black women look up to her is because she is the ideal as far as being educated, feminine, whip-smart and a perfect mom.
Saying that she isn't feminist is ignoring the fact that women of color typically do not have the option to stay home with her children. Her choice to take a more passive role can be viewed as reaisting the role society has predetermined for women of color. Intersectional feminism amyone?
This article is why black women generally want jack shit to do with feminism. I really can't say more than that.
No.
"We were barely tolerant of Hillary Clinton's gung-ho, policy-oriented style of being a First Lady when her husband was in office. "
This is an ethical dilemma that's very complex. It's not "evil big pharma", but a question of who we should test this on first. We can do all kinds of experiments on animals (the cute fluffy ones that PETA loves to show) but still not guarantee even >95% safety of the new drug. Clinical tests are not exclusively…
Wow...I jumped the gun in responding to your first comment rather than this one.
