Wow, stories like this make me nervous to even ask my gynecologist about it, even in a super liberal feminazi pinko coastal city.

I tend to agree, but then I read teamPenguin’s post below and am reminded that what starts out as harmless can snowball and generally encourage/reinforce a lack of critical thinking that I think is bad for society.

That’s how I interpreted it—Offred was definitely not an academic feminist and criticized some aspects of the feminism of her mother’s generation.

I do think most girls who care about makeup care about other stuff as well and I’m continually bothered by categorizing interests that are coded as primarily female as automatically vapid or inferior. Why is makeup a less worthwhile hobby than playing video games?

I fear this is true. It’s not like it was somehow a secret that he’s in a transactional relationship with her (as well as his previous wives), treats women like shit and is generally a terrible human.

This. I supported Bernie, not gonna lie, but I do not support a Democratic party that is willing to throw women’s fundamental ability to control their own bodies under the bus. We have to decide what issues are central, non-starter, core issues and if this isn’t one of them, I’m really not interested. This seems like…

I would watch this movie.

Yeah, and the fact is that as much as I love Andy Dwyer, the Andy Dwyers of the world in real life have unfortunate downsides to their lovable buffoonery and Chris Pratt is demonstrating this pretty well.

Yeah, as someone who grew up comfortably middle class, I feel an obligation to give any potential spawn at least as good a life as I had, and the financial burden of that, especially today when education costs even more than it did when I was in school is really one reason I don’t think having children is for me.

The older I get, the more I can appreciate the big-picture/view from 40,000 ft of having kids and how people find it fulfilling. But honestly I cannot for the life of me imagine how I would personally survive the first five or so years (until they are in school). The day to day stuff, just the sheer tedium of doing…

Right? I am here for literally everyone else but Piper. And maybe Alex, too. I wish Netflix could somehow offer me an OITNB edited version with all the Piper scenes cut.

To be fair his supporters don’t actually read anything.

I think it would just have to be something SO bad that the congressional republicans feel it would taint their brand and endanger their jobs. Unfortunately since legislative districts are so gerrymandered to GOP advantage in most states, the bar for GOP seats being seriously threatened is pretty high. I don’t think a…

Well said. I wear 80% black but I have been trying to see exactly how much holographic highlighter I can put on my face at work before anyone notices and so far, I’m a goth unicorn and no one in my office seems to mind!

I dunno, despite the obvious Disney reference, I also think of mermaids as luring sailors to their death (while also having good hair) and those are worthy life goals IMO.

YES. These books are so good!

Yes, this so much! I had a relatively ok time as a nerd child in the 80s/90s in bumblefuck, nowhere because I had a few smart, cool friends around, but it was still hard and I think having finding digital communities would have made it more bearable. Also,while as a straight lady, as much as I liked taking my gay male…

Registries are great and useful, I just think that WHEN and HOW we do the gifting needs to shift from wedding to moving out of your parents’ house or getting your own place, etc, because that’s the more common time that people need household stuff these days.
