I don’t have any female friends or family members who haven’t been sexually harassed at work. I’ve been working for 15 years and have been sexually harassed several times, only to have HR shove it under the rug or say “oh he’s a nice guy, I don’t believe that” instead of formally investigating. The more powerful man…

Years ago I worked as a merchandiser for H&M while I was finishing college. The company visual directives for windows and the floor for the spring campaign came and the theme was “White is Right.” It was all white linen, cotton etc. Well of course myself as the only black merchandiser and the one black store manager…

Low rank woman of color on top of that, and “too sensitive. trying to insert race into everything.” Kind of like how “nice” guys tend to think women who share their common experiences of misogyny are seeing sexism everywhere when to them it doesn’t exist or isn’t “that bad.”

Yup, told they’re being too sensitive, seeing something that isn’t there, cold shouldered for not being a “team player” if there’s a deadline to finish the add. If you’re black and at the level where you’re on the creative team for a million dollar company like Dove, you’re probably one of very few black people in…

Yeah, that’s what happened to Dov Charney, the founder of American Apparel. He was outed by his board and investors after the bazillionth sexual misconduct charge/driving the company into bankruptcy. At this point it’s like, which CEO’s/high powered business men AREN’T sexual predators? I remember when American…

Yeah it’s astounding how some men don’t even realize how they’re being marketed to, and just jump on the bandwagon of what’s pushed on them as “attractive.” I also remember in college being confused about the Paris Hilton infatuation (um, I guess brassy blond extensions negate size 11 feet, zero muscle tone or body…

New York has a large population of falcons because the skyscrapers mimic high cliffs, perfect for uninterrupted mating/nesting, and the rats and pigeons make a perfect abundant renewable food source. Never seen carcasses anywhere but New York is grimy as hell so I probably never noticed.

Duh, there’s a School House Rock about it.

There’s a really amazing documentary called “The Mask I Live In” about the completely backwards ideas of “masculinity” that little boys learn that end up being detrimental to both men and women in adulthood. Problems like: “my only worth is money/providing/sexual dominance/attracting a female who only values surface…

And then all the whiny annoying feminine performance and whiny annoying masculine performance leads to both parties being miserable because they don’t even know or really like each other. I’ve had so many male friends complain about their “hot” girlfriend’s bitter attitude/lack of personality/inability to ever be…

Yeah, I remember every white girl in my midwestern hometown coming back from summer break between 8th grade and high school the same shade of blond. Then the scheduled tanning parlor visits (it was the 90's before spray tan and fear of skin cancer) and French tip manicures start. Most of those girls weren’t even…

It covers the completely different injustices and disparities that black American women have had to face that white women do not. White feminism has resulted in white women competing with their own men, it largely ignored the huge gap in income/huge gap in abuse & sexual assault/huge gap in economic opportunity that…

DUH, and we’re also only a part of Adam’s rib anyway so why are we always complaining?

Bower birds are total fuckbois! But their social practices are fascinating. There’s an episode of Planet Earth where one male has a prized possession in his bower of a tiny red toy car he’s just dying to show to the girl bird he’s been trying to date. But after several altercations with another male bird, the younger…

Makes sense seeing as how this country’s wealth and power were procured using hate and greed.

Um, having a roommate after 40 is damn commonplace in NYC, especially if you’re close friends, and ESPECIALLY when rent in manhattan is more than what a home mortgage would cost anywhere else in the country. I live in NY and personally don’t know anyone 30+ who can afford a place of their own unless they’re hedge fund…

Yeah, the biggest red flag of an unhealthy dynamic under everything in her letter is this weird continuation of her living with them. Like, the letter writer seems to need to dig for excuses as to why the MIL keeps living with them. And now she’s moving with them? Like, has the letter writer ever been able to build a…

And then Iggy had to double down on her disrespect and ignorance by referring to Eve as a “girl.”

Except when you’re the hot mess manipulative woman described in this letter. Then it’s the choice of the people actually getting married, and spending actual money on said wedding. Her kids probably aren’t well adjusted either, given her poor health decisions during pregnancy and how manipulative and dramatic she…

Yeah, I was 6 when Full House came out! I remember being really into it and being amped when it got added to the TGIF lineup. That was the best part of the week (aside from Saturday morning cartoons.) It was taco or make your own pizza night, TGIF followed by 20/20.
