The experience of POC at ivies is different than that of white people. These environments are usually less welcoming in subtle ways.

but it was an attractive goat...

“I REFUSE TO GO TO PROM WITH JOHN OLIVER imeanhedidn’taskmebut HE SHOULDN’T WASTE HIS TIME BECAUSE I WOULDN’T WANT TO GO WITH THAT DUMMY ANYWAYS”

*turns on HBO right now to wait for the john oliver segment about this on sunday*

My canadian brain can’t even begin to comprehend. I had a colonoscopy and I didn’t even want one. And here this lady needs one desperately and her state government is just saying no. No, you get to die. Or try and qualify for a loan that you can’t pay back, I guess? It’s so bizarre.

Perhaps. But it’s been proven that even in cases in which women work as many or more hours then men, they’re still expected to do the housework.

Yep. I lucked out, because my husband is very, very involved with doing household chores and is also a good cook, so we pretty much split everything evenly (well, except for laundry - since I hate it, he does most of it and as a trade I primarily clean the toilets and such. I’m weird, whatever).

Can we just agree that sex shouldn’t even factor into it? “Men’s work” and “Women’s work” is a silly concept. Sometimes the man will be better at repairing the house or fixing the car, and sometimes the woman will be. Sometimes the woman will be better at cooking and cleaning and sometimes the man will be. But setting…

Being “flimflammed” sounds like it might be fun?

I’m with you so much. Can we all just agree that this whole genre of “men suck at domestic things” is just fucking awful. Like, I am a man. I also like to make sure the kitchen is reasonably clean, and years of living without a dishwasher means I’m 100% okay with washing dishes on my own.

hahah yes the growling at the beginning. I wish President Obama would read me Where The Wild Things Are :(

Little did they know, the lawsuit was coming from inside the house...

Cosigned. My first boyfriend did this to me. I didn’t realize I didn’t have any friends until I tried breaking up with him and didn’t have anyone to help reinforce that I was doing the right thing.

One of the first things an abuser does is isolate the victim from friends and family. Women need to be taught at a very young age that it is a huge red flag.

Yeah - if there are 7 guys in a friend group, and 6 of them are major douchecanoes, I find it hard to believe that the other guy will be a total sweetie.

Maybe the rental mom will guilt-trip you to call your real mom more?
