And if you think it’s bad now, just look at Africa’s population projections...

I think this all could of been avoided if we all weren’t so bored that we have the time and attention to spaz out about a bunch of privileged white girls making videos that describe, to the details, what their privileged white woman lives look like.

My reaction to the reaction to the sorority rush video has been weird for me. I absolutely 100% agree with the criticism (lack of diversity, the uniform standards of beauty, the shallowness etc.) and also think the video was hilariously embarrassing.

I don’t quite understand why the University told the sorority to take down the video. My only guess is the amount of skin in the video was “unbecoming”. Otherwise, I was just like “meh. white girls gonna white.” [full disclosure: i’m white.]

I’m seriously, no snark intended, not seeing why this should matter to me or anyone.

ugh this makes me ashamed to be blonde rn

During any moment in which a woman doesn’t have another woman’s thighs wrapped around her ears, she’s technically straight. It’s all very logical.

I’m a little confused.

I WAS ASSURED THAT ISRAEL IS A PERFECT UTOPIA FOR EVERYONE

YOU DONE IT NOW GIRL

“Israel” =/= “Jews”

(I think you and shelwood are on the same side of this debate.)

But not all names sound good combined or hyphenated. :( I might have wanted to go that route but our names just don’t go together well at all. Plus—if we all hyphenated our names or our children’s names, it would start to get kind of crazy a couple of generations later when you have Sue Smith-Jones-Collins-Henderson…

I wish I had found my feminist self before I got married. I would have kept my last name and gave it to any female children while male children would get husband’s last name. Together we would be the Name 1-Name 2 Family.

Wow I’ve never, ever heard that zinger before.

Yeah, but why keep doing it? Like, why is a son’s name more “his” than a daughter’s? Just because it’s been passed down through men before doesn’t mean it has to keep being passed on through men.

And also her fucking name. Oh my name came from a dude in some previous generation so all my personal identity based on it is meaningless, tru.

That’s exactly what I plan to do when I meet Mrs. Right. I’d change my name to (For the sake of the example) Mr. Interrogator Chaplain-Right, and she Mrs. Firstname Right-Chaplain. Don’t plan on kids so we’re in the clear there.

I feel that this would establish that our lives are now continuing down this new road…

Yeah, my mom says that too (I kept my name when I married). But HERE IS THE THING: My last name is the name my parents gave me when I was born. A man’s last name is the last name his parents gave him when he was born. WHY is the name given to the man “his” name, but mine is NOT “my” name? Yes, our parents may have…
