Just pointing out that Sodexho had a bakery/cafe the U.S.-over on college campuses called ZeBi, until they learned that "zebi" was translatable as Arabic slang for "my dick" and renamed all locations. Quietly.

I'd argue that my marriage would end if we *didn't* wear sweatpants because we'd be grumpy instead of comfy. TEAM SWEATPANTS! If I can't be comfortable (and feel sexy in sweats) around my spouse then I don't wanna be in that relationship. END OF STORY.
There's also a guy who tends to hold me down and force me to be close to him even when I tell him repeatedly that I don't want to. Sometimes this is fun but usually just annoying. I don't wanna make a big deal out of these things because it seems pretty much accepted that people do this in my group and I don't want to…
I didn't write it, but I could have!
There's also a guy who has squeezed my but and my boobs in a "joking" way...
Same position here. I have far more earning potential than guyrootof and a far less inflexible schedule. I grew up in a single parent home. He grew up with a stay at home mother (who is the worlds most amazing woman, ps) and a working dad. He is a strong feminist, he fully believes in sharing labor, but he also…
UGH I believe this very much.
I work in professional services and am never shocked to hear that a female partner in my group has a stay at home husband. It's literally the only way to make a demanding, high-paying job possible for a woman with a family.
Yep, that's why they want them more because they think they have to give up less. I made it clear that I am not giving up my career for a baby no matter what. And if that means no babies, then no babies, but I refuse to be left holding the bag.
I've had a few friends who worked while their husbands stayed home. And in every case, the women still did the majority of the cooking/cleaning/childcare. Because the man is considered to be doing such a great and extraordinary thing by giving up his career, he's off the hook for everything else—he watches the kids…
This Guy: "I want a baby so badly! I could cuddle it, take it for walks, give it baths, read to it, play peekaboo and marvel at its little laugh, name it after my grandfather/mother... have you seen those videos of babies that are like, SOOO happy when their dads get home from a normal day at work with adults? Can you…
TOTALLY!
Yup. I work for several families as a nanny/babysitter, and in every last one, no matter how great and involved dad is, whenever there's an issue it's mom's schedule or job that takes a hit. If I'm sick or having car troubles and can't make it? Dad goes about his business and mom has to scramble to find a replacement…
Oh my gosh are you talking about the blender egg? I scoffed at it and then recently made a Sephora employee talk me into getting it (this is how I function) and it has CHANGED MY LIFE. I love it so much, I don't ever want to apply my tinted moisturizer without it.
You have just confirmed all my worst fears re: doing my own wedding makeup. I'm still gonna do it, but I am going to have like three fans blowing at me and at least two glasses of champagne and give myself several hours to get it done. If it all goes to hell I will just put on red lipstick and call it a day.
re: wedding makeup
It's like $5 for 3 of them in every store, and they stretch out to be totally unusable on the first wear! I thought it was just me because I have really thick, heavy hair, but I guess not?
I'm not super "acne-prone" — I have lots of pimples and breakouts, but I've never had serious cystic acne — and AGREE. I actually started putting straight-up oil on my face (marvelous wonderful Algenist stuff, which follows a C+hyaluronic serum thing), and I swear to god my skin is less greasy now. Like skin wants to…
I think a lot of people go "urgh, my undereyes are dark, need to lighten them, therefore I will correct with a superlight concealer thing" — which can make it look worse. Much better to use something very close to your face color but more strongly peach (if you're pinkish) or yellow-orange (if you're golden/neutral).…
