Yeah it was like - you can’t pretend to be a feminist movie by bragging about your off-screen girlfriends. You still made Natasha have baby fever for no reason, the most empty and cliche of all lady storylines.

Ugh. I Love my in-laws but they are the worst with this. I once waited in line with the MIL at Subway behind FIVE people and when we got to the front it was like she had never been to a Subway in her life.
I’m addicted to the roast beef. It’s embarassing the looks my coworkers give me when I order it again...
I am ugly, weird and oblivious so I really didn’t notice much of anything beyond my extreme desire to be invisible (and mostly succeeding). I did have this moment of clarity in my mid-20’s - I was just on the cusp of dating my now-husband, and was at a party with a ton of friends. I realized that a few of my friends’…
My husband talks about it like scales fell from his eyes - he was sitting on the bus staring out the window one day and then it hit him: girls have BOOBS. And his life was never the same.
Yeah...my story takes place in my mid-20’s, so, not so much.
...and no work was done that day.
Ha...I work at a university and often get asked if I’m the student worker. It depresses me especially when I’m dressed in appropriate work attire!
OK - book beef here. Obviously this is complicated and there are many sides to it etc etc etc. But let's also admit that in the book Gabaldon focuses on corporal punishment a LOT, in a very positive way. Children, wives, and servants are regularly being beaten for offenses but the kicker here is that they often…
I have been off the Mad Men train for a while (I'll catch up one day...) but I ALWAYS think back to this scene in season one during Sally's birthday party, where there is that one neighborhood couple who are shown to be in a loving and respectful relationship. Like they both balk at the drunk jerk's sexist jokes…
Also, my current boss (in another field) is a gay man. I know his type so well because guaranteed, every time he starts talking about some amazing new up-and-comer in the field who is so so impressive in every way it is 1.) a gay man or 2.) a very fit, young, attractive man. Our staff is 90% middle aged women, so we…
I work at a large state university. The majority of men are faculty, the majority of women are admin and student support. The mixes are getting better depending on what department, but working in the tech/sci areas sort of burned me out. I had faculty (who were my bosses) tell me directly they could care less about…
My dog does this too. We joke that it's his superpower - he has come running from across the house anytime my husband starts making the moves. He will sit on top of us, or between us at the genital-level. He definitely has an oedipus complex!
This is why I worry, guys. We're all thinking that the old fogeys are the ones with the conservative views and as soon as the Boomers die, we progressive youngsters will really turn things around. But millenials can be just as bad! Have you been on reddit recently? Or basically most internet sites that allow…
I really want to know too. Obviously this is a huge problem that isn't getting any better, and those of us who care just end up pulling out our hair and getting into facebook fights. Seriously - the number of people on my fb wall defending their "right" not to vote yesterday was maddening.
i did not diet. I kind of wanted to? But it just did not happen.
