i love her but...... come on. she hasnt practiced law or been in the legal field for over 20 years

Glennie has had an awakening lately, at least in terms of what his party has turned into (tho I doubt he’ll ever admit he helped push it over the edge.) I even saw him on Lawrence O’Donnell’s show a few weeks ago, commiserating with O’Donnell on the insanity of the Republican party.

Michelle Obama is so amazing even Glenn Beck was forced to praise her this week. I hope it pained him immensely to do so!

Can I say that I’m genuinely concerned about the safety of voters this year without sounding paranoid? I’ve never been scared to vote before but since Dipshit Trashfire has singled out my area as one of the ones “stealing the election” I’m getting in and out of there as fast as possible.

Is it horrible and reprehensible that I immediately went to ‘false flag’ on this?

Amen to that. My mother was shamed for having gotten pregnant in HS. She was sent to an awful late 1940s Catholic home for fallen women. Her child was taken from her a few weeks after he was born. For a few weeks the nuns had the moms breastfeed their infants, why not save on formula, right? Then, one day, her baby…

My great grandmother lived in a theocracy and an extremely patriarchal culture, where if you found a man who didn’t drink too much or beat you too badly, he was a catch. You knew he was going to gamble your life away while you were stuck home with 13 starving children but hey, what’s a woman’s life? In any case, my…

My great grandmother died the same way. This would have been around 1913. My grandmother was three and grew up without a mother. It didn’t occur to me until now how that must have affected her...and her relationship to my mother...and my mother’s relationship to me (which was not great). Women’s reproductive rights…

Thank you for sharing this story. My family has a similar story. My great grandmother, after having 4 kids in the span of 5 years, became pregnant once more. Knowing that her and my great grandfather could barely afford and take care of the 4 kids they already had, my great grandmother made the decision to have an…

That question is so asinine and thoughtless. I was a third child, my mother hadn’t had prior abortions, but she was deeply unhappy and stuck in a terrible marriage. There’s no question for - if you’re asking me to choose between my life and a possible reality where my mother could have been happy and not stuck married…

I’m so grateful that this was posted here because when I see Trump and the more traditional republicans I see men and women who want to control women and it has not been long that women could vote, let alone apply for a loan without a husband or father as a cosigner (1970s). It’s abhorrent that those in power have…

In my parent’s house, there are framed photos of two very sad women. One is my great grandmother, who stopped speaking for 2 years when her daughter died after falling down a well. The other is my great great aunt, who died of a botched abortion when she was 17. It’s never been a family secret or a morality tale, just…

I can’t wait to wake up and find I was only dreaming about people actively trying to turn the United States into a third-world dictatorship.

My experience with Delta, as a brown lady. Three years ago, flying from a meeting in Detroit to SF, standing in the premier line. Gate agent repeatedly tries to shoo me out of the line a good 10 minutes before boarding was going to start. Mind you he approached none of the other (white, male) passengers in the…

Let’s split the difference and agree that the flight attendant is an idiot without insulting people based on their professions.

Trump will next criticize Clinton’s ill-fitting suits, her inexplicably orange skin, her tendency to loom over people, and her terrible comb-over. “I hear she just reaches out and grabs people by the pussy, is what I hear” reports Trump.

this. being told you’re smart and talented and should be doing better than you are is like needles all over your face. I’ve been told that i’m naturally smart so many times and all it does is make me feel like shit for being so average academically and socially (like- really really average). it also undercuts my…

I think a lot of women, especially those who were praised for their brains instead of their looks put tremendous pressure on themselves to be high achieving and successful. It becomes a big part of their self worth and when it starts spiraling out of control they are completely unprepared to handle it.

Yes. Very much so. And at least now you have the internet so if you’re feeling like you’re a bad mom, or you’re stuck in your career or your stuck in a bad marriage - you have other people you can identify with. Blogs, reddit pages, forums, etc. Back then? You struggled alone.

I think now more than ever that women about to turn 30 and single or their careers aren’t going anywhere are much more vocal about the struggle of being lonely and watching all your friends go through those big life moments and feeling depressed as to why you’re not progressing. The studios have caught on to that…
