I know. My friend just moved in with her boyfriend, their rent is the same as my rent...only they both pay their half. -_- We need to end Couple Privilege!

I used to read them too but what eventually made me stop was how it felt like every single writer was living with her boyfriend, thus all her bills were split in half, and it started to piss me off. I wanted to read about single women, such as myself, who paid for every single bill by themselves.
I’m a high school teacher and I wrote a Money Diary, but never submitted it. I might now.
Dude, you’re my age and making twice what I make, and I thought I had it good. That’s a shitload of money for 26.
I feel like it could go either way. A part of me thinks it is someone messing around, but honestly, I went to a private high school and there are definitely people who live like this.
I hate that I’m defending Money Diaries, but lo and behold, here we are. I read MD often, and they do generally have a wide range of places and incomes. Yes, its mostly young women in their 20s, but that’s the audience of the site and since its reader-submitted, it probably won’t ever change. Occasionally the editors…
YES. I actually never let my friends use my phone to stalk anyone’s pages because I don’t trust them to keep their fingers off from liking something by accident.
I really enjoyed the Ehrenreich book, especially when she described what she went through when joining message boards for cancer patients. She said that it was so intense that when she complained, people would actually say things along the lines of “well you’re definitely not going to get better with that attitude,”…
I struggle with it as well precisely because of articles like this. Honestly, it sounds like Kim K is coming at this with a very respectful and sincere admiration for a hairstyle. I fail to see how this is a bad thing, in fact, it just reminds me of segregation.
This happened to me. I had a small bank account that I wasn’t using, and when I went to close it out and transfer the money, they had been deducting $10 a month for about a year and a half. It wasn’t like I had lost my life savings, but it sure was annoying that I had just lost a chunk of money for pretty much no…
I listen to a feminist podcast and one of their ongoing topics is Facebook’s bizarre policy in regards to what is and isn’t appropriate to post. I didn’t pay much attention to it at first but I started to see real examples of posts that were taken down compared to posts that are allowed to stay. Its REALLY weird. FB…
I don’t switch seats unless there’s a child involved and it isn’t a huge hassle. I do not switch seats for adult couples who aren’t next to each other. You’ll see each other in a few hours, I’m sure you’ll survive.
No!!!! I freaking love White Lung...that really sucks.
That’s what gets me with this and the Kurt Cobain death-truthers. Like, these guys had well-documented struggles with depression and drug abuse. They weren’t the Mr. Rogers of their fields waltzing around scattering flower petals and sunshine everywhere. I hate to sound so flippant but from a purely logical standpoint…
“Second - Courtney Love is a terrible person that totally had a hand in Cobain dying. She at the very least drove him to suicide.”
That comment is so sexist. If it read “you should never give someone a family keepsake until you’ve known them/loved them for years” then okay, but specifically saying “no girl should ever wear your dad’s chain” is just so fucked up and sexist.
Thank god. Lately I read things on the Internet and I’m just completely fucking lost. Honestly have been worried that I’m losing it or my brain is melting, and I’m only in my twenties...
I agree. I actually feel like its really unfair how media/society treats Lena Dunham. I just don’t think she is that bad and honestly if this were ANY other celebrity posting the exact same thing, the comments would be congratulatory. Its really wild how no matter what she does, everyone shits on it.
I remember one time my dad was talking about Gone With the Wind (yeah, I know), and he really loved how there’s a scene where the men are using harsh language and keep apologizing to Scarlett. My dad was saying how times have really changed and its such a shame that we’ve lost our manners and now curse all the time…
I liked Bumble but I was only on it for a few weeks, and I met my boyfriend on a different dating app. I liked Bumble because I really liked being the one to reach out first (hetero women) and I actually enjoyed writing witty openers based on their profiles. The men that responded to me were usually polite and funny.
