I don’t think this bra fits her...

How does he do it???????

In my day, if you wanted money, you put on a Catwoman costume and tickled a guy’s balls with a riding crop. That’s called EARNING IT.

Further lending credence to my theory that sexual masochism in men is the exclusive province of the monied. No one wants to work at some factory all day, take a bus an hour each way and then get whipped by a stranger.

I get what you mean, in that our culture values doms and dommes because our culture values anything we traditionally align with masculinity. But I think these guys are being treated so dismissively because they’re tech bros who are used to getting what they want all the time, not because they’re subs. That’s the sense

One-income living isn’t for everyone, because it’s just not fair in some circumstances. In my house, it would have been not whether we could live on one income (we do - we’ve been saving almost our entire second income so we can retire early). It would be - who gets to give up a challenging, rewarding career? Because

Because some people don’t want to spend all day with their kids at the expense of their careers and social life? How can you honestly say it’s not even considered when it’s been the default up until like 15 years ago? Over half my friends had a stay at home parent, usually a woman. My mom did it for a while and she

I’m super-glad you figured that one out!

About half of them are also families where the woman is the higher earner, which makes matters complicated both because of

Cost of childcare is one (of many reasons) I don’t have children at all.

And then when your husband leaves you with the five kids he said he wanted, you’ll easily be able to jump back into the workforce. It's foolproof!

Kids are stupid and expensive. Solution: don’t have kids, save your money, go on baller vacations instead.

It’s a troll. I wish we could have a running list of them, so that people stop falling for the nonsense.

get a grip

I’m going to go with: A major publication created an international news article saying that everyone who has ever been associated with this organization at UVA actively participating in gang rapes without doing any type of verification on the story.

“Hey, they’re white guys. Obviously they are guilty of something and deserve our scorn.”

By that logic, you could defend every wrongdoing against a white man by using the ‘affluent white male’ excuse.

Didn’t you know? The best way to get rid of privilege is a race to the bottom.
