How forgetful of me to exclude the “dick with a hammer” option. I do apologize.

My husband is an equal partner but equal partner does not mean equal for every individual task. He doesn’t make dinner or pack lunches but I don’t clean bathrooms or deal with trash/recycling, etc. And I don’t mind cooking dinner or packing lunches, I enjoy cooking. However, just because I enjoy something doesn’t mean…

This was my mom’s approach to dinner (I am one of many children, but we were all close in age) My dad would come home from work around 5:30. He was a land surveyor and his job was very physically demanding, so he would come home starving. She cooked dinner for him, and we all ate when he got home. There were no wars…

If your office job is anything like mine, no worries about the tattoos, with the air conditioner on blast we all wear cardigans/jackets or some other layer all summer anyway. Most of the co-workers just can’t wear them on the way to or from because, y’know, going outside in the real world, taking public transportation…

I like a long-sleeved blouse or t shirt with a statement necklace. This is a very deceptive look because it fools people into thinking you have an *aesthetic* but in fact if you buy all the fabric bits in black, white and grey you just don’t have to think about combining them and then you throw on a big ol necklace…

Buy one pair of well fitting black pants that are light weight (do not buy 100% linen, too much upkeep) - then buy a bunch of tops that go with these pants - neutrals with a simple cut are your friend - white, beige, cream, black print

I’ve been saying Kamala Harris 2020 since before the 2016 election was even over. She’s awesome. I hope she’s president someday.

women are making this nation worth saving

Tho I am a cisgender hetero woman, I am also sick to death of women’s clothing, especially regarding price and quality. So I wear men’s boxer briefs. Get the extra long legged ones for no thighrub. Pack of 5 for $20 or less. My butt cheeks can never eat these. I get them at walmart and my abandonment of ‘normal’ is…

Before the aca, the love of my life was a corporate attorney (no worries, he did a ton of pro Bono work like suing people to gain rights to a dog and bird when the humane society’s arms were tied, taking on an abusive religious youth group, and he caused an uproar when he sued one of his firm’s own clients for…

Did not want to respond to the asshole who responded to you—I would like the vermin who value money and “fiscal responsibility” above actual human lives to explain to me how it is fiscally sound to push me, an RN with lupus, onto disability and my state’s Medicaid program if I am unable to work full-time and obtain…

Of course, that’s true (at least in the twisted perversions in the mindset that make up the GOP.) And little kids who get cancer must have been REALLY irresponsible and awful as infants to bring that disease upon themselves.

I personally know about a guy who didn’t have insurance because my stupid state didn’t expand Medicaid. He ignored the signs of being pretty sick because his only option was the ER and he’d already been there a lot recently and couldn’t afford it.

Capitalism really does a number on some people.

I went to a meet-up for women in local politics and met a Slovenian woman who was running for a school board seat. She’s been a citizen for 15 years and has managed to build a MASSIVE community of Slovenian women in this small Minnesota suburb. She was brought over first, as a mail-order bride and she managed to…

fucking right though

Have the men in this thread never done any research on the expense and danger of women using hormonal contraception long term? Educate yourselves!

Um, boo hoo?

And I guess on her side she’d say “partner expected me to take the pill forever without talking to me about it.” Are you guys thinking of more kids in future? If not, why not just go get snipped?

She sued Howard University for discriminating against her for being white, so apparently it’s a fairly flexible belief.
