That was horrible. I think it should actually be removed from the website. Way to shame women who are successful in their careers. Way to dichotomize family and career. This is a HUGE step backward. And who are these people? I've never in my life met one of them. I do have FB friends who post incessantly about

And/or are very very selfish. Which I suppose is an emotional issue.

Telling someone that even though you are casually dating/sexing, they still need to treat you with respect. Since my last LTR breakup I've been much more vocal about the Madonna/whore complex and setting boundaries with casual partners, and it has led to good sex and friendship with one guy in particular, which has

Yes! I unfortunately had to fight for my raise, which involved going over my manager's head and was very risky. But I had gotten to the point where I felt like I was too old (mid-30s) and too experienced to go on being undervalued. And it worked! Since then my immediate supervisor has left and I have proven myself

Kudos for trying and for realizing that it's over. Too many people don't do either. I just went through it a year ago and it was sad as hell but I have never regretted leaving.

That's completely understandable. I would think it was gross if I was veggie.

Vegans. Sorry, but I can't have a long term relationship with a vegan. Tried once, and it was really high maintenance. Vegetarians, mayyyybe.

yes, re: environmentalism! like, really vocal environmentalism, not the general recycling and not littering type.

Complaining about the ex. As in, "she was way too skinny," and "she never shaved." And then if that was not enough to tip me off, because I am an idiot, complaining endlessly about how she broke his heart (even though he cheated on her), and getting mad at me for not being sufficiently sympathetic. Wow.

Totes. I don't know why they think we like it.

Yes, when I rejoined the dating world after a 7 year absence I was so confused by the constant texting! I think it was supposed to be reassuring to me or overcompensating in some way (turns out the guy was a serial cheater), but it actually was just annoying. Now that we're just friends he doesn't text so much

I totally think I take the train with this woman every day. How did I miss this?!?

Quinn is viewed as pretty establishment now, which is why people aren't as excited about her. (And NY wouldn't get as excited about electing a white lesbian as would, say, Portland. There's also an African-American guy running and a Chinese-American guy running, so those of us who would get excited by firsts

omg, I heard Louis CK bust on older women (women his age) on Fresh Air. Totally turned me off. He basically said that older single women are damaged, but young women are fresh and fun. Of course, he's an older single man, but clearly unconcerned that anyone might think of him as used up and damaged. Sad because I

Oh but she's skinny so it's alright. i think everyone expects handsome white men to want to fuck skinny white girls, so long as they're at least average looking. the complaint about dunham wasn't really that she was not beautiful enough, it was that she was too fat for him.

Because it's even more impossible to be a good, "hardworking religious girl" and be sexually active and empowered. That's the point of the show, right?

I wish men would talk about women the way that women talk about men. We're all, he's very good looking but I'm looking for something more than that....and men are all "she's boring but she's really hot."

5 days. Out of 365. That's going to destroy small businesses? Unbelievable. How does Bloomberg look at himself in the morning?

Why would they ask him that if he's naturalized? If he's naturalized, by definition that means there are records of his identity. That's the point I'm trying to make, but apparently not very well.

Well tell him to get a new passport. He can also order another copy of his naturalization certificate. In the past, Voter ID laws disproportionately affected African-Americans because many of them were not born in hospitals (because they weren't allowed to be patients) and did not have records necessary to obtain
