Stuff like this pisses me off to no end. My family was very poor while I was growing up and here’s the thing: being poor fucking sucks. Nobody wants to be poor. In good ol’ American bootstrap culture, poor=lazy and being poor is humiliating and dehumanizing as it is. Now these people want to dictate what type of food…

Aw man, I know how you feel. I have certain foods that I can avoid to avoid symptoms, but it took me a long ass time to find those certain foods. Also, if you’re in a medical marijuana state, cannabis can help calm your colon muscles...or so I hear :-)

I don’t know if her being young has anything to do with it. I would feel the same way about the power dynamic if it was a young male professor and an older woman, or an older female professor and younger men, etc. It’s the professor-student “I have the power to fail you, which could affect your GPA and your entire…

Mmm...if it was nudity in front of the class and everyone had to do it, that would be one thing. But students having to get nude in front of the professor to pass an art class? Yes, it’s an elective, but a failing grade can really fuck up your GPA. I’m all for stepping outside your comfort zone but this, to me, sounds…

Pro-choice folks don’t really need to get people to take us seriously. Abortion is legal. It’s been legal for 40 years. This is, I’m guessing, a way to get the media to pay attention to the fact that these cute little “crisis pregnancy centers” pass themselves off as clinics and medical facilities and then lie to…

I’ve heard from other women who know that if you consult with someone at a “crisis pregnancy center,” then decide to have an abortion anyway, they will continue to call and harass you about having n abortion. So yeah, really awesome people running these places.

Yup. My male coworker has mastered this. I am literally sitting and working for 40 hours a week, at a minimum. I regularly bring work home too and I am ridiculously productive. My male coworker spends maybe 4 hours a day working and the other 4 hours surfing the internet or chatting with other people in the office -…

Sally Hansen worked for me for about a year. Then it just stopped working. The last time I tried, I left it on the full 8 minutes and ended up with burnt, still-hairy skin...

I suppose I see your point.

I like how we’re so brainwashed that we think it’s “fucked up” to grab the baton of a police officer who is assaulting you for no reason...

He’s not chubby - but the female actors the media labels “chubby” are usually not chubby either.

Probably not. I’m a bit of a chubby-chaser myself. I don’t mind dadbods.

Sure, maybe a lot of women are shallow too. I get that. But American women are literally given the message “Your entire self worth depends on your appearance” pretty much from the age of 5 or 6 on. Some men might feel insecure about their bodies, but they can still turn on the television or go to the movies and see…

Statistics disagree with you.

$18 A MONTH?!?

Oh God - remember the smell? I will never in my life forget the smell of my elementary school cafeteria (which also doubled as the gym, which made it that much worse). Like American cheese and canned meats and death.

I feel bad for that woman. Leftovers for breakfast is one of life’s best small joys.

I didn’t say all those guys weren’t attractive (because I find a lot of them attractive myself), but I think it’s pretty safe to say that a female version of Bob on TV would probably be considered “chubby” or “untoned.”
