Honestly, this is how a lot of people I know express themselves. We don’t want to talk about race because if we do, we’re either told to “check our privilege” or “take a seat”. So we don’t talk. Then, we get called out for not talking about race, and are accused of being ignorant or willfully ignoring the issues POC…

If this doesn’t work, then it’s back to the finger-painting college.

The Medieval Land Fun -Time World Bad Lip Reading will always occupy a special place in my heart.

This is honestly the story with every social issue beef. This person should not talk about this issue, so they don’t. Then they get blasted for not talking about it, because that now means they’re pretending said issue doesn’t exist. It’s a very damned if you do, damned if you don’t mentality, and people WONDER why…

At an ad agency at which I used to work, we had a booze cart that made the rounds on certain occasions, and most people had little coolers full of booze that they’d start drinking if it was going to be a late night. My favorite was “Spring Cleaning Day”, which is where the booze was pulled out at 1 and it was supposed…

Agreed. In a way, there’s a level of emotional maturity that I’ve started to associate with open relationships; it’s this understanding that one person cannot and should not be expected to fulfill all of a person’s needs. The guy I’m with also mentioned that his wife actually bears the brunt of the criticism about…

I don’t worry about exes. What I worry about is the fact that I always seem to be his stepping stone to “finding himself” and settling down. Every man I have ever been in an exclusive relationship with has immediately started dating the person they wound up marrying after dating me. EVERY. ONE. It’s frustrating,…

Thank God we have another famous woman to throw in the stocks. Taylor is popular, so therefore bring on the backlash and think pieces!

I’m actually not! But ::blush::

As I mentioned downthread, I don’t know any couple that didn’t spend time rationalizing and talking and soul searching about opening their marriage. The fact that he spends a lot of time ruminating on it in the article is well, normal. I may not agree about how that arrangement came to be brought up, but it’s pretty…

The “feminist thought” part of it I won’t touch, since it sounds as you said, muddled, and there seems to be A LOT of rationalizing on his part. However, I don’t know a single person who, when presented with the possibility of an open marriage, said “why not?” without a lot of soul searching and rationalizing. It’s…

Am I the only person that knows open couples that have used this site specifically for relative anonymity?

Green really was more of an Artois branch thing than a royalist thing, although it became synonymous with royalism and Marie Antoinette—who actually favored light muslins in her later years at Versailles before the Revolution. Her daughter, Marie Therese though, would wear it quite often immediately before and during…

Marketers have recently started splitting the group into millennials and centennials—centennials being people like Tavi who were born in the mid to late 90s and came of age when the Internet and social media were facts of life instead of revolutionary things. By the time people like her were ten years old, Facebook…

Tavi is 19, but she falls more into the demographic marketers call “centennials”—kids who grew up in the digital age, and were born from the late 90s onward. They do shit like hang out on Tumblr, reminisce about things they weren’t alive to experience, and become Vine celebrities.

Absolutely. Granted, although she’s on a panel, she’s pretty much working the publicity junket for the film at this point. It may not be in her best interest, and I wouldn’t blame her. However, I can TOTALLY see her screaming “girl power” from the top of her lungs once the Wonder Woman trailer is released in an effort…

“Gadot, who starred in a couple of the male-dominated Fast and the Furious movies, said that she hasn’t faced much sexism”

What Ariana Grande did is disgusting. It’s dangerous at worst and disrespectful and entitled at best. (As an aside, I work at a university, and the students pull shit like this in the dining halls all the time, so I’m probably projecting a bit.)

Seriously? No one gets that SUSAN SARANDON is making an overwhelmingly sarcastic tweet? If this was Paris Hilton, yeah, but Susan Sarandon? Considering that Ariana Grande has a reputation for being anything but “sweet”, and that “true American” is exactly the type of insult a noted liberal activist like Sarandon would…

I was adopted, and my parents “aged out” of the adoption system, so they never were able to adopt another. Granted, my parents were pretty vocal about my adoption, so it seemed like most people never thought to ask why they didn’t have another kid.
