I was referring to MissAndry’s posts, which calls people psychopaths for moving to places that don’t allow pets or for not anticipating the extenuating circumstances. I know people throw out dogs for ridiculous reasons. My family’s almost exclusively adopted rescue pets, and the pooch sleeping next to me was left for…

First, I think that’s the big issue here. Sanders is assuming or implying that sexism means men are literally calling for other men to support him, which is why people are rolling their eyes. Sexism comes in a lot of forms. One of those can be implying that women are only or majorly motivated into voting because a…

Your posts are very much reading like you assume losing a job or being moved is somehow uncommon. Sudden, long term unemployment isn’t just for poor people.

But what would I have done if I didn’t have that luxury? None of my friends could’ve afforded to take in another dog. By your standards, I would’ve been a negligent monster. Pets live for over a decade if you’re lucky. You can’t assume everyone who has a change of life circumstance over 10=15 years and has to give up…

Exactly. Calling me a “country club white woman” may not be explicitly stating that I’m voting with my uterus, but hell, how much closer can you get?

I live in a reasonably priced area. My starting pet deposit was $1000. My annual pet fee is $500. My monthly HOA fee is $50 more than non-pet owners.

A couple days ago in these comment sections, a Bernie supporter quoted a portion of one of my responses and implied I must be a white woman because I’m a typical entitled Hilary supporter. When I pointed out that in the same post he quoted I mentioned I’m a non-white, non-cis person, he deleted my comment and did not…

Because people assume feminism is one big monolithic block of ideals, not several waves and perspectives.

I responded to someone else with this, but because I’m gray, you might not spot it. Please feel free to dismiss this comment.

The issue is that much like Steinem’s comment which implied women were only voting for Sanders because the boys were over there, it’s reductionist and insulting. It implies that the only reason women are voting for Hilary is because she has a uterus or that being excited to vote for a woman is somehow wrong. It also…

Don’t forget the people who freak out thinking you’re “playing the women card” or “weaponizing your gender” if you make any comment about how exciting it is to have a qualified woman able to run for president. What is wrong with acknowleding that this is a very cool moment in history?

In the Gawker comments a few days ago, I mentioned that I was a non-white, non-cisgender person while in a discussion with a well known Bernie supporter. In the very next comment, he quoted a small portion of my post and snidely told me I must be a white woman because I’m entitled enough to vote for Hilary and that I…

Okay but if you had to, what sauces would you use for each staff member and why?

Have you looked at pet deposits, city pet registration, and HOA fees? I own my condo, and I still pay hundreds more for pet owner fees just because my pooch exists. Worth it, but in any major city it costs more and is much harder to find a pet friendly place.

When I was offered a fellowship out of the country, I knew it was a once in a lifetime opportunity but that there’d be no way to bring my dog. The cost of getting him over there was astronomical, the stress on him would’ve been cruel, and his quality of life would’ve been shit while there because mine definitely…

Right? My dog is getting up there in age, and my parents let it slip that they’ve started putting aside vacation time every year for the impending massive meltdown I’ll have. I think Louis C.K. called pets a heartbreak waiting to happen.

You absolutely need a CofS or at the very least an executive assistant to make this stuff happen. It’s a ton of moving parts, proposals to be crafted, research to be done, and it takes a ton of time and work. Same goes for really any large scale, high profile project.

Yeah, I was confused by this as well. I do see him as abusive because there’s no doubt he manipulated and broke her down, but there are more types of abuse that flat out choking rape. It would’ve been more interesting to see him worming his way under her skin from afar and watching her psychological tug of war and…

The article says that something like what you’re describing can be done well, and maybe that’s what they were aiming for. The problem is that this was written by a dude who covered his sports career at East Michigan and focuses largely on character witnesses, ridiculous NFL dream theories, and stuff that’s straight up…

What exactly do you think “inappropriate” means in this context and what kind of privileged world do you live in? It must be a place where rape, sexism and systemic sexual harassment doesn’t exist, and I’d sure love to visit.
