I am black and my husband is white, we have a child and very soon we'll have three.

I date outside my ethnicity and it still shocks that some people have the audacity to say/yell racist things about me and my boyfriend. I've had it from all sides: black guys asking me what I'm doing with him and or different guys blatantly trying to flirt or pick me up because they don't assume I'm with this guy.…
I'm mixed, my folks are mixed. Listen to me when I say, it's gonna be ok. It will be hard for you and your hypothetical children, but not as hard as it is for me, and not as hard as it was for my folks, or theirs.
I don't understand why people are reacting so strongly to this photo. I always thought of the Huffington Post as attracting a fairly reasonable readership, but many of the comments there on this situation are crazily emotional (implying that she is a pedophile or exploiting the baby) and/or vicious.
I disagree. Only because there are boobs everywhere and the vulva is like a dirty thing no one ever wants to talk about or see. It's only sexualized or penalized.
Isn't that how it works with most types of customer service or, well, any type of business? If the service or good is provided, you pay for it, but the option to complain to management, corporate, etc. is still there. It's not always effective, of course, but I don't see why servers should be the only group dependent…
Do not go to restaurants if you can't afford to tip. You do have to pay for service. I will not order another drink at a bar if I don't have a dollar to put down with it for the bartender. I'm a bartender/cocktail waitress myself.
Hey: If you're too poor or too socially clueless to participate in the social norm of tipping 15% or more, don't eat at fucking restaurants.
Ugh, you really are the worst.
You believe that a tip is "something extra," but you are WRONG! In almost every state, servers aren't paid minimum wage. Tips are their livelihood.
If you don't want to "pay extra" for service, don't eat out at a restaurant. It isn't something extra, it is payment for service rendered. You're paying them for serving…
"some deserve zero and a snotty note on the receipt."
I really don't understand this mentality. Would you prefer that all service jobs were tip-based? Otherwise, why is restaurant service different? I mean, there are other ways to handle bad service—complain to the management, or simply not shop there again, like you would if you were at a McDonald's or grocery store…
History: JFK fucked around with countless women, including Marilyn Monroe.
Anyone who claims that gushing blood once a month is the root of feminine power may need serious help. Girls in underdeveloped areas give up on school when they can't get sanitary supplies and must hide at home during their periods! Some of us suffer from awful conditions like endometriosis! Take a bit wider…
No, menstruation is not the root of feminine power! It's just a body function. They are uncomfortable for a lot of women, especially since we spend a lot less time being pregnant than our evolutionary forebears did. There's nothing inherently empowering about having a menstrual period. Have them or not, whatever, but…
NEVER NEVER NEVER HAVE SEX, even if you want to.
