It seems like this might definitely minimize what it’s like to have a baby rather than be any kind of real indicator of what it’s like. It cries and you have to carry it around are kind of...not the bad parts, really?

Exactly. It’s the same reason that niqab bans are so counter-productive. Do people arguing for these bans for the sake of “women’s rights” really think that people are going to change sincerely held religious beliefs based on government edicts? No. It just means that women wearing the niqab now don’t leave their home,…

From what I understand, burkinis have allowed women who would otherwise be stuck at home because of “modesty” to get out and go to the beach. As much as I dislike any religious edict that polices women’s clothing or bodies, whether it is the Duggars or conservative Muslims, I think burkinis are good if they allow…

If the people you follow on IG tweet a selfie every day you need to follow some cooler people.

Oh, so public humiliation isn’t the best way to help immigrants assimilate? Huh, who knew.

I wouldn’t hate this show in particular so much if it wasn’t so relentlessly exploitative of the people who appear on it. So often there’s a husband who is obviously trying to help his wife through what he likely thinks is a psychotic break, and he has to sit there while that fucking scam artist Amy Allen tells the…

buddy

thought this was common practice tbh

I welcome the drag/sexism discourse. Some of the biggest misogynists I’ve met in my lifetime have been femme gay men and/or queens. Just the term “fish” for starters...

Is it bad that I was expecting his reasoning to be that it meant no one in the office could hit on her? And that I’m only marginally relieved (but a great deal more offended) that it was “hur dur, the other women will be jealous and wrathful”?

so brave.

I’ve definitely heard it. I am a female soldier, and I’ve been truly shocked at how many non-military feminists I’ve seen suggesting a gender neutral physical fitness test for the military. They don’t even begin to understand how many women they’d be putting out of work.

I dont get why feminst ignore biology and facts to pretend women can realistically compete aganist men in sports.

If she swam with the men in her events at the olympics she wouldnt medal ever.

The Bell Jar is the reason I’m still terrified to sleep with guys who are good at math.

is there another kind of mirror?

Program them young...

Sounds kind of like my grandma! Grandpa was drunk and abusive and tried to stab her, and she didn’t seek a divorce because back then (the 1950s) it was acceptable to be an abandoned wife, but not a divorced woman. This way, the priests let my dad and his brothers attend Catholic school without paying tuition, because…

It’s like when you knew dad would say no about your first date so you told mom all about it and then he couldn’t say no because she already promised to buy you a new outfit. Thanks mom!

Yes, because the BVM is so much more accessible and friendly! Like of course all the power comes from God, but it’s way more pleasant to talk to his uber-compassionate chosen virgin-mother lady who won’t yell at you.
