Last gal's friend is just trying to relate. New mom probably won't shut up about the kids, and so the topic of "taking care of an inferior being" ends up being the only common ground.

You live in TX, right? You do know that fajitas were invented in South Texas, and San Antonio is its major city?

I once worked for the most awful human alive. She offered to buy our Puerto Rican clients lunch and throws out a couple of suggestions. She stops after the second one and asks "Oh, do you eat sandwiches?". Blank look. Because I hate her I look at him and ask "Are you allergic to sandwiches?" and he laughs and says "Oh…

For the past year my boyfriend has worked at an organization dominated by women (literally there are about a dozen guys and several hundred women). He is constantly being eye-fucked in the hallway or cat-called from a hidden car in the parking lot or asked about ("Ohh, he's hot, is he single because I will be all over…

The sentiments of each party represented matches those of a conversation I had with my husband about the same topic. I tried to explain and explain and he just couldn't see why it was so bothersome. When I finally made the analogy that it's like him going out and getting a panhandler asking for money every block or…

for your consideration: my baby shower invitation

In hell your toast is always done wrong, and there's no butter only margarine.

I feel like in general, if you become a surrogate it is best to be prepared to honour the parents' wishes should they want to abort due to a catastrophic birth defect.

You should have taken advantage of the fact that men like your dad are half-blind and don't know what natural makeup looks like. You could have been wearing makeup that whole time and he'd have just told all his friends how "naturally beautiful" his daughter was, and you and your mom could have snickered.

No kidding. I have friends who are Jewish and either currently live in Israel or have Israeli citizenship and none of them support the current actions of their government.

P.S. DISAGREEING WITH HOW ISRAEL IS HANDLING IT'S "SITUATION" DOES NOT MAKE YOU A JEW HATER.

That women should have a little respect for her Doctor, Her vaginal birth has a good chance of interfering with his golf game. Pregnant women are so selfish, they act like giving birth is all about them and their babies.

...what part of "in the United States" did you not understand? Christians are not an oppressed minority in Florida. They are the majority. They represent the establishment.

You forget one very important thing: power dynamic. There's a reason you won't hear anyone talking about Jews or Muslims this way. It's called "punching up." Christian privilege exists in the United States. Christianity is extremely powerful. Christians have the upper hand within oppressive frameworks versus…

Hey, you go ahead and spread whatever hate you want. Religion based hate, race based hate, it's your right! You're still an ignorant bigot though. Bet you wouldn't dare talk shit about Jews or Muslims. You'll just be a bigot toward the easy targets, because you're a coward pandering for acceptance in your bitter…

My dog just died. To say she was my best friend doesn't do justice to the bond we shared. I know dogs don't live forever. I know she was sick. I know she had a great life. I thought I had prepared for her death, I had no idea it would feel like this.

No. Neither is it "cultural appropriation" to be a white couple without fertility problems and choose to adopt a couple of black babies, as two very dear friends of mine did. Especially if you try to raise the children with as much access to their African heritage as to their European one.

Ummm. Right argument wrong wrong wrong situation.

People, if anything like this happens to you or someone you're responsible for, hire a lawyer. Do not depend on the DA's office, the police, or the school's counsel to look out for your best interests. No matter how nice they are, and no matter how much they might care, they don't represent you.
