RIGHT? I can’t imagine a scenario where it would be appropriate to call someone at work (let alone your boss!) a peach. It’s belittling, and even though both the LW and the boss are women, it has a tinge of weird sexism. “Sweetheart” is also a southern colloquialism, but you still don’t call your boss that.

Actually, the idea of companionate marriage (meaning that your spouse was supposed to be your life partner and give you emotional support, moreso than your friends) didn’t emerge until the early 20th century, so that’s pretty accurate. Before then, marriage was considered mostly a child-producing institution and men…

But men also have far more options after high school (skilled trades, the military, vocational school, etc) than women do. A woman really has to go to college to have good earning potential—no one hires women to go work on an oil rig. And while theoretically the military treats everyone equally, it’s way harder for…

Hm, well let’s see

Yes, the non-Christian is the Jewish woman.

You should tip the bartender. He or she has nothing to do with how much you are paid for performing, and they are also probably not standing there enjoying your performance like the customers are. They are working, so you should pay them for their work like you would any other night you’re at a bar. I don’t think you…

...Isn’t that exactly what you did when you mentioned your coworkers? Your coworkers are not representative of all black people, so maaaaaybe you should take your own advice.

To be fair, we don’t generally have politicians making laws based on what black people want, but we’ve sure got lots of them justifying legislation based on the bible.

Right? The raglan part isn’t hard. Show me one with set-in sleeves and I’ll be more impressed.

Misogyny is a cultural belief that women are inherently worth less than men, not an individual’s response to their experiences.

Right, because no companies encourage cost-cutting and a corporate culture that promotes unsafe conditions. Uh-huh. Sure.

The difference between what you did with your wife and the story here is that you made ONE comment in an appropriate setting, and you included something about her personality rather than just about her body.

1) It was her BOSS. A boss should never be commenting on the attractiveness of a subordinate.

I don’t think they’re necessarily due to the same thing. There actually has been a lot of research into why people being using drugs, and a lot of it has to do with having little hope for the future or sense of upward mobility. Right now we’re living in a time where young people can’t get a job or can’t get ahead in…

I’m guessing it’s one of those things where the legal terms are slightly different over there. Like by “no signs of physical harm” they mean the mother didn’t beat the kid, just neglected him.

Drugs seem to skip generations. It isn’t cool to do if your parents did it.

This is America! We don’t believe in mental illness.

Well, lets see:

You mean, besides their power as the main influencer of millions of people?

No, she has to be impeached because she’s an elected official, and since its KY, the people in charge who could impeach her are somewhat sympathetic to her cause.
