AGREED! I stopped caring about my birthdays as soon as I turned 21. Honestly, who cares?

I’m a hater and usually super negative about everything but I love baby pictures! What I don’t love are engagement/wedding pictures. When you get knocked up let me know, but as for the wedding, don’t think I can make it.

Fuck anyone who says “it’s just hair.” I have unruly, thick, curly hair and it took me years to accept it and think of myself as pretty. If my dad had chopped off my hair like this when I was 13, I truly have no fucking idea what I would do. It would be absolutely devastating and earth-shattering. Reading this article…

“and I hardly think it’s a High School teacher’s job to teach kids how to make sex fun” is exactly right. Sex ed is great. But that doesn’t mean you have to teach students about what types of dildos feel good. I’d also venture to say that this is trying so hard to be sex positive that it might have negative effects. I…

It is very possible to have comprehensive, thorough, and effective sex education without going to a sex shop. Also another commenter made a good point - a health teacher does NOT need to make sure the sex the teenagers are having is good. Sex education doesn’t mean giving teenagers tips and tricks of the trade. It…

No one will like my comment, but I remember at my college graduation there were some families that cheered so loud that the next name was inaudible. Kind of sucked for those graduates and their families. Obviously no one should go to jail or be fined or even be made to leave, but its a dick move to cheer so loud and…

I think that makes sense. What doesn’t work is breaking up and then the next day agreeing to be friends. You have to separate, block one another out, build your lives back, fill the void they left (however big or small), THEN cultivate a friendship. Once the healing process is 100% complete.

Same here. I just can’t do it, and I’ve even tried. I always end up being a tiny bit bitter if I have to continuously see them/hear about them/talk to them. My best friend agrees and always says “There’s a reason he is your ex.” Also, most of my boyfriends did not start out as friends, I tend to meet and then date…

Yeah...I’m super confused.

I love L7, but my number one is Babes in Toyland. Just bought my ticket to see them in NYC September 17! NEVER THOUGHT I’D EVER SEE THEM IN PERSON.

Agreed. Look, I get the white savior critiques, I really do. But I just didn’t find the book OR the movie that offensive. Even in the book, its told from multiple perspectives. And I found it to be realistic that the black community would have been helped from a white woman writing their stories. People forget to…

This is really ridiculous. I’m all for college students speaking out against abuse or hate speak, but this was simply a critically thinking professor who has a different stance/opinion than some other campus feminists. Feminism is not a monolith! We are all allowed to have different feminist beliefs!!

Same, I literally said “WHOA” out loud.

I think its super weird that some couples have never talked about one another’s relationship pasts. For me, its always helped my relationships because we can talk about what we liked and didn’t like. Also, it kind of turns me on thinking about my boyfriend’s adventures before me.

Exactly! I teach high school history and my students and I had a great discussion today about the way elections pan out for our generation. For example - constant memes, crazy internet recappings, and hilarious gifs. Love it.

What cracks me up about the “we’re from two different worlds” narrative is that its never remotely close to actually being from two different worlds. They’re both white, middle class-ish, same region, same culture, same language. One just likes to ride horses and one likes art.

This is another point that I don't like to say, because its generalizing, but I do think its true. A lot of the time men can be oblivious to things like women being interested in them. My ex had many female friends and a couple of them had a thing for him. I would always try to explain it to him, like, "dude...I'm a…

I had to deal with this a lot in my last relationship. My ex was naturally a super social person, very charismatic and empathetic (that is why I liked him so much!) He was also genuinely kind and real with girls, so this led to him having mostly female friendships. When we first started dating I was very insecure…

You're making the right decision in ending it. I have a "friend" (more like I've known him forever and so I deal with his nonsense) who is very manipulative and emotionally abusive to his girlfriends. He's insecure and very jealous. He literally tells his current girlfriend about all the girls in the group who he used…

Yep! This is good advice. My ex-boyfriend got along better with girls, so he was always hanging out around girls and becoming friends with girls. It never was really a problem, but it definitely helped if I became friendly with his friends. It made it feel more like a group of friends rather than my boyfriend hanging…
