My mom (she has one boy and me, a girl) always said that as soon as my brother started dating she always made sure to be kind and respectful no matter what, because the girlfriend (and eventually wife) will always be number one. She would say “no mother is going to win that fight against a girlfriend” lol. She just

Weird. Every time I say that I want girls, moms are always like “well you will definitely have your hands full.” 

“The gendering aspect is also really interesting. Especially since this is happening at the same as people becoming more aware of trans and non-binary people and, it would seem, like we were moving away from such a gendered and binary approach to parenting which as you mentioned is incredibly damaging. But it’s also

I just saw the movie last night and LOVED it! Really enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I felt it was so sympathetic to Sharon Tate, really showing how she had talent as a comedic actress and such a promising future. I loved the friendship between the two leads and of course the hero dog! Really enjoyed it. 

And then the weird part is that a lot of people say that about girls too. So its almost like babies in general will cause you to have “your hands full.”

I’m a high school teacher and THANK YOU. It helps so much when parents are realistic and understand their kids. We are all on Team Student. We all want the student to succeed. When I met parents who were like “yeah, my kid messes around, they’re lazy, they need to be told sternly what to do” I would be like “alright,

This is insane. There is nothing worse than women hate any girlfriends their sons have and think they’re number one. Its sad. 

This is nauseating and I cringed while reading this entire (well-written) article.

Hey I just want to thank you for writing this comment. I’ve been with my partner for a year and a half and it has been awesome. But lately all the “WE’RE ENGAGED!” social media posts have been making me weirdly feel bad, and starts making me feel insecure like “why am I not engaged?” Even though I don’t particularly

I think this is why so many people don’t “believe” in allergies. My parents are kind of like this. They are not allergic to anything, and neither my brother nor I are allergic to anything. So they kind of err on the side of “people are exaggerating/faking.”

Yikes, that sucks. I also get migraines from strong perfumes and colognes. If I had to work in that environment I would quite literally have a debilitating migraine every single afternoon. 

This is truly an incredible picture. 

This is sooooo common in our culture and it is really messed up. I hear from so many women who talk about how they were dangerously dieting and miserable at their skinniest, and it is also when they received the most compliments on how great they looked. 

I’m tall and thin, but my weight falls on my belly and thighs. I don’t really work out, so I started doing barre and figured that I would shed some pounds. After two months, I noticed that my arms were bigger (I was getting stronger). That’s cool and all but I didn’t really want that, I just wanted to lose weight and

This is just so upsetting. They’ve been doing this for the past few years now, using feminist language in the pro-life movement.

This is how I do it. I put the slotted spoon in a bowl, crack the egg, let everything fall into the slotted spoon, then the egg whites fall through the slots and the yolk gets tossed. It’s super easy.

This is also something we need to tell students. I knew early on that I wanted a job that paid my bills and helped me live a comfortable life, but nothing extravagant. I knew I wanted a job that gave me weekends and occasional breaks so that I would have time to enjoy life. There are plenty of students out there with

I love History so I majored in History. Thought teaching seemed cool so added a minor in Education, completed my required hours of observation, decided to become a high school history teacher, and boom here I am doing what I love at a private school. A lot of people think that the ONLY way to make money is to major in

The pantyhose in Hooters’ uniforms looks so bizarre to me. 

I remember somehow ending up at a Hooters on some sort of family trip with my family and another family (this was Florida in the 90s, or early 00s at the latest) and I watched my 13 year old brother try to “hit on” the waitress and even as a wee girl I died a little inside. I can’t imagine anyone going to Hooters and
