My grandma once told me “It’s too bad you weren’t born black. Black women carry their weight better.”

I always thought women with larger noses (Fran Drescher, Barbara Streisand) were really attractive. Grew up in a place where I could probably count the number of Jewish residents on fingers and toes (it was pretty much all Scandinavian), so I always saw Jewish women as kind of classy and exotic.

You and I may be long-lost sisters.

What do you get a boss who believes that “bonus” = vacation time?

I’m usually l pretty stoic bit I’m finishing up grad school and working and so so so stressed and just ugly sobbing at the drop off a hat lately. Poor hubby. Never cried at work though - I’ve got too much responsibility to cry at work. Which is a big part of the stress.

Is this the girl with the boyfriend who was always like, “I can’t spend time with you or watch our kid because RODEO ALL THE TIME”? I hope she didn’t marry that guy.

I’m beginning to think that rioting is going to be the only thing that will shut this bullshit down.

I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve been trying to lose weight (the legit way too - clean eating and exercise) and it’s going sooooo slllooooowwww and I’m really fucking tired of celebrities giving us weight loss tips. If I had a personal trainer and a nutritionist and a personal chef I’d be in great shape too. No…

Gabourey is KILLING IT right now. And she’s such a great role model. She could easily fall into playing the victim and instead she just ignores the hate and continues kicking ass.

I’ve gotten the “He was hitting on YOU?” thing too. One time, a coworker asked me to accompany him to a social event, and when I told another coworker what happened (I was in a relationship, so it wasn’t happening anyway), she was like, “Oh, he asks everyone out.” Um, excuse me? I know I’m not particularly…

It is exhausting and we do it. We do it because we’re taught to do it. We read magazine articles about how to get a “bikini ready body.” We see photoshopped pictures of gorgeous celebrities and wonder if we’ll ever be able to look like that, not realizing that no one looks like that. Boys compare us to each other - no…

I’ve gotten along much better with my female coworkers in the past than my current male coworkers get along with each other. They’re always in a competition. A whole lot of women - including myself - really, honestly do not give two shits about the attention of men. In fact, a lot of us try to actively discourage it.

Yeah I didn’t experience too much of that either. The “popular girls” were certainly not very nice to me, but I didn’t hate them and they were never openly hostile. I was bullied mercilessly in middle and high school, but it was always by guys, not other girls.

Are mormons not ok with masturbation? Are girls discouraged from doing it too or was it just not addressed at all. I grew up in a hyper-religious household too (though not mormon) and female masturbation was NEVER discussed and we were told if we touched ourselves “down there” that we would give ourselves…

Haha I totally thought it was a “hot dog in a bun” situation too! I was surprised when I found out that P-in-V didn’t really involve the clitoris and confused as to why you would want to have sex if it didn’t.

That was revealed when her mom visited - her uncle molested her. It could be, but how does that explain Haiti and Wes’s mom’s suicide?

So if unborn children are full citizens, can women be allowed to sue deadbeat baby daddies for prenatal child support?

Nowhere! I’ve already got boobs and a fairly large ass, at least for a white lady!

Haha seriously - you think they’d suck the fat out of my midsection and just throw it away?

I agree. I don’t know if you can really “polish” blues (which is really what I think Amy sang) - it comes from the soul.
