When I was a kid there were times we lived on oats and bread. I remember pretending the bread was pizza. For a big treat sometimes we had raisins or store bought pound cake with strawberry yogurt as “frosting”. Worse than the going hungry, though, is how we’re made to feel ashamed every time we go to the food bank or…

Good god. This person should not be teaching. I get so frustrated that so many young people of color are left in the care of ignorant ass people like this. This is only one lesson but the lack of respect or understanding for people of color is so clear in this content - I don’t need to see the rest of her lesson plans.…

And then the weird part is that a lot of people say that about girls too. So its almost like babies in general will cause you to have “your hands full.”

Another mother of two boys here (sensing a trend in the comments!) and I find the whole #Boymom thing makes me feel both sympathetic and annoyed.

Sex hormones don’t code for ‘gearhead’. As the article notes, every scientific inquiry into coded behavioral differences between boys and girls has come up with precisely nothing. Your son likes cars for the same reason my stepdaughter loves dinosaurs and butts.

I always assumed I’d be a girl mom, I don’t really know why but it’s just what I always saw in my head. I am now the proud parent of two little boys, 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 and my only goal here is to raise kind, helpful citizens. It’s been hard for me to wrap my head around what my future might look like (sports and dirt…

My Mom had all girls and “boy moms” used to annoy her so much. They all seemed to assume that being loud, messy, and roughhousing was something only boys did. She would frequently point out that my sisters and I did all of those things (especially the story where my middle sister and I were fighting and fell onto the…

Another woman dead for not behaving the way her (ex?) boyfriend wanted her to! because of a man’s fragile ego. 

After episode 3, with the lack of pay-off for the Azor Ahai prophecy, I realized how much I was excusing Beinoffs’ poor writing of the last couple of seasons. I really, really, really needed a good, clever, eye-watering payoff for the longest and (in my eye) most important storyline of the series. I mean, the last…

Tawmmy from Quinzee

I’m more shocked his name isn’t Sully.

Harassment is protected speech. It’s in the First Amendment. Advocating violence is not. A US president advocating potential violence —telling a US citizen, let alone a US congresswoman, TO BE CAREFUL?!?! Is advocating VIOLENCE! And if you think that’s remotely appropriate talk from a US President against a civil…

Tolerance =/= allowing intolerance

No justice.

Jezzz, this article is a bit harsh. It’s only the first show. Let them reintroduce us to the world and set the pieces on the board. I’m so sick of these reviewers just crapping on anything and everything. I’m sure if the first episode explained everything and a ton of action, this guy would complain saying, ‘there was…

The episode was a let down because the season was so amazing. Without a doubt this has been one of the best things on. Even though it often deals with very dark things, it’s never something I put off like some shows. It’s always entertaining in some way, managing to never lose a sense of lightness for all its play…

It’s not Holy Week; it’s the threat of advertisers ditching her dumb ass. That’s how O’Reilly’s downfall started.

It recalls to me a time when we would call this “being taken advantage of.” He took advantage of her acquiescence. He took advantage of her soft “no.” Instead of waiting for her to be in the mood (if ever), he kept pushing. He was a bully and an asshole. She shouldn’t have to slap him in the face, stomp her foot, or…

I think a sizeable portion of people do, in fact, understand that he coerced her into something she didn’t want. People understand that there was confusion between the two parties about what was ok and where they thought the night was headed. Most people know that what Aziz did was scummy, even if he didn’t realize it…

I wish I was this eloquent.
