“After decades of reading all the ways women must compete for male attention (through makeup or enhancements or being the “it” girl who’s into video games or whatever) to read men complaining about it, like it’s a new phenomenon, is pretty telling. Telling I guess because it’s just such a blatant display of how sexist…

This is an AWESOME comment and spot on. I was quite the ugly duckling when I hit puberty (I’m a hetero cis woman). I realized in those difficult, formative years that being ugly can make things a little more difficult for you. But what really saved me was feminism. I discovered feminism as I was realizing that looks…

When this incel “movement” first started making its way into mainstream news outlets, I read some comments on an Atlantic facebook post with an article on them. One of the top comments was from a guy and it was so wholesome, he basically said - “Its really not that hard to talk to girls. Be nice, don’t be overbearing,…

My last apartment was owned by a person (not an apartment complex), and he didn’t raise my rent, and this was in a major metro area where rents are high. I think its because I was a really good tenant - easygoing, clean, responsive. So if you’re a good tenant, that can be an incentive for the landlord to keep the rent…

“2. Knowing women who have had the procedure and why they did it.”

This is seriously a huge problem and I think very rude. I keep track of every single dollar in my bank account. When I go out, I plan on how much to spend. I purposefully order certain dishes to fit within my budget. When people start splitting everything and ordering anything they want, it screws me up royally. One…

Same, I don’t even last until page 50, I’ll bail if I’m not interested in the first 25 or so. It helps a lot because most books I enjoy, I enjoy pretty quickly. 

Your assumption that using a rideshare or cab means you have to talk is odd. I live in a city. Here’s an example of my Friday night - I take public transit to meet my friends at wherever we are meeting. We go out and drink, dance, whatever. Later in the evening, when it’s time to go home, I order an Uber. Half the…

This is all true. Republicans are much better at voting for whoever their nominee is, the Dems get worse at it each election. And as a Dem I do believe that our biggest priority for 2020 is to vote DEMOCRAT, so I’ll be doing just even if my preferred candidate doesn’t secure the nomination. 

I cannot wait to start this. With this and Mexican Dynasties, I’m thrilled that Bravo is increasing Latinx centered shows. 

I agree and have a colleague who had a boy, and he mentioned that his wife at first was a bit let down because she wanted a girl. But then he made a GREAT point - isn’t it better for a boy to be raised by feminist parents than not? Totally changed my attitude on it. 

Ahhh, I see, I should have read more closely. 

I mean...I do think that inviting someone to the bachelor party but not the wedding is rude. *shrugs* 

I’ve wondered how this works. I remember I had to take a flight with a short layover up to a job interview. If I missed any of the flights, I probably wouldn’t have made the interview. On one of my flights they had to bump people. I had a confirmed seat and so it wasn’t a problem ultimately, but I started to think…

This is why I loved Anthony Bourdain so much. He would try absolutely anything, anywhere and he never was snobby about it. I’ll never forget the episode he goes to Charleston, and the chef showing him around takes him to Waffle House and they deeply explain all the food they’re getting. Food anywhere can be delicious,…

“I think it gets the very concept of selfishness wrong. Selfishness implies you are keeping or taking something for yourself that should rightly belong to or be shared with someone else. You can’t be selfish towards hypothetical children.”

The “selfish” argument remains, by far, the most baffling argument centered around the question about whether or not to have kids. Having a kid puts another person on this planet, takes up more resources, and overall means you will be consuming more in general. If you choose not to have kids, how exactly are you being…

This is good advice. I’m not ready to have kids (not sure if I even want them) but I’m at the age where some of my friends are starting to get pregnant. I just don’t ask questions. I congratulate, ask how they’re feeling, etc, but I don’t ask anything else. I don’t even ask gender or name. I basically just ask no…

Excellent way to put it! LVP is just boring and too obsessed with her ego to make good TV.

I think she show would get soooo much better with LVP gone. She drags them down and takes up too much attention. Its time for her to exit.
