The episodes where she’s fighting with Dan about her right to get an abortion; the episode where DJ doesn’t know why he’s upset about having to kiss the black girl in the school play, and Dan and Roseanne are concerned and embarrassed about casual racism in their family and make DJ do it, explaining why it’s not ok to…

Yup, see: the vitriol Kim Catrall got for not wanting to do another unnecessary Sex and the City, and the annoying taunting the Olsen twins received for not wanting to do the Full House reboot. You get painted as a selfish snob who doesn’t support your cast mates.

Racism like this isn’t going anywhere for a looong time to come unless we push back and snuff it out. I’m only 35 and in school in my backwards ass midwestern home town I was routinely bullied and told I would never get a boyfriend with my “big monkey nose and lips.” My best friend Chris’s nickname (from the white…

Lord of the Flies

I agree. That’s what the documentary is about. The conscious, purposeful subjugation of females. In order to maintain the status quo and not be at the bottom of the man pack.

I’ve been thinking for years that segregating boys and girls and teaching the truth about teen male biology is the only way to protect women. Just all the pain, frustration, anger, after this election and the countless sexual assault problems finally being paid attention to.. women are just so tired and it’s…

That was a semi sarcastic comment precisely because of that fact. It was in response to the idea that mothers should “build girls’ self esteem up to just say no” but fathers can’t sit their sons down teaching them basic respect for women? But many adult boyfriends/husbands treat their partners like crap too so here…

The documentary “The Mask You Live In” about toxic masculinity starting in childhood explains all of this. Boys are pushed and even rewarded FOR being predatory. They’re brainwashed to “get” girls, to conquer, to succeed at “acquiring” a female. Even nice boys get peer pressured into “not being pussies” by seeing…

Fathers

Yeah, I have lots of makeup artist friends and the first thing you learn about eye makeup is if you have close set or naturally narrow eyes, don’t apply heavy black liner all around the whole eye. It will close up the eye area and make them look harsh and even closer together. Especially for older women where the eye…

Yeah, I live in New York and I’ve completely given up on online dating because it’s just used like a video game. It’s reduced people to superficial attributes and when there is literally too much choice, people simply get overwhelmed and can’t make a choice. I’ve had so many great back and forth conversations on…

I’m 35 and an older millennial so not bashing milenials. I have plenty of stories about rude entitled baby boomers who don’t get basic concepts like you don’t get your cash back if you don’t have a receipt. Those people have dumb entitled parents who taught their kids how to be dumb and entitled. And if I show you a…

She was the oldest of the cast in Cruel Intentions. Fun trivia: the writer/director was skeptical about casting someone that old as a 15 year old, but Selma came to the audition in character and was so completely bratty and obnoxious depicting a teen that he couldn’t get her out of his head or imagine anyone else in…

Same. And The Rock, which is just Con Air not on a plane.

Yes to all of this. But also totally go to a hypnotist. It’s amazing.

I really feel like stupid people are getting dumber and dumber every year. As technology advances, there’s less and less need for people who were already not the brightest to value critical thinking skills. Like, your phone can just tell you everything, so why come to logical conclusions on your own or be…

Yeah, a few Star Trek movies have done this in battle scenes.

I agree, but the only situation where a 2 hour gap in response would be irritating would be if you’re trying to meet up somewhere or solidify plans and you’re waiting for a response to determine what you’re doing. I’ve had friends know I was on my way to meet them and then it’s radio silence when I’m asking where they…

Or in Manhattan people walk into my job like it’s a tourist guide center and ask “where’s a good place to eat around here?” Um, you’re in Manhattan, one of the culinary centers of the world and there’s literally a tourist guide kiosk on every corner and a huge Barnes & Noble full of guide books with “best of”…

Yeah, several American musicians carols reference Happy Holidays. I have cards from the early 80’s from my grandparents saying Happy Holidays. This War on Christmas crap is just lazy propaganda that stupid bigoted people will eat up.
