That's a case where the living at home is symptomatic of entitlement and irresponsibility. Yeah, your brother sounds like a tool. The point we're all making is that not everyone who lives in a multigenerational household is like this.

"American" society - WHICH American society? Because I'm describing many, many, many people who are American, with varied cultural backgrounds. I'm also talking as an American, born and raised.

It's like meta-mortification. You're traumatized because you're being assaulted. And then you're simultaneously just insulted because you're like DID HE SERIOUSLY JUST SAY THAT? SERIOUSLY?

I think, Mo, that you do NOT agree with me.

I'm Asian, and it's pretty normal/traditional to live with parents until you get married in my culture. In many cultures it's normal to live with your families in a multigenerational household after you get married too. So you mind racism, classism, sexism, and homophobia, but not xenophobia or othering cultures…

When I go on a date and tell them where I live in Brooklyn, and they say "Oh, that neighborhood's getting better, isn't it?" or "I heard it's nice now..." By which they mean "more white people live here now than ever before."

I've even gone on a few dates with people who straight up told me they're afraid to go to…

"have a taste of this. It will do you good in so many ways...Now you don't want to upset me and the plans for your future, do you?"

This sounds like fake, movie-villan bad dialogue that some clueless fool made up because they don't know any better. Until you get assaulted by someone who talks exactly that way. It's…

You should just start posting comments to her statuses, "if I wanted to know your personal business I would ask but you should just stick to [your dead end job in some boring ass career]. No one needs to know about these types of details."

Ehhh whatever, even Miranda Lambert sings sweetly about cross dressers ("all kinds of kinds") and Kacey Musgraves sings about makin' out with ladies ("follow your arrow") and Ashley Monroe sings about bdsm ("weed instead of roses")

Sooo I just listened to both of their music, and while Ty Herndon is definitely country, I couldn't find a blessed thing that could remotely be called "country music" performed by Gilman.

This tends to be really classist and leads to hiring bias. If you're an upper middle class white man and you have qualified applicants with the right skills and education, but who are from other countries, religions (say, you're interviewing someone who doesn't even DRINK beer) or socioeconomic backgrounds, you're…

If it's anything like I'm imagining, I'm imagining some Teach For American fool trying to show a bunch of rural kids who've been raising and/or hunting rabbits and skinning them from early childhood WHAT THIS ALL MEAAAANNNNNNSSSSS.

I believe the issue is that this autonomy and agency is "The PRIMARY and MOST ESSENTIAL" power a woman can hold. Basically they are arguing that women are obsessed with vaginas and reproduction, versus all the other arenas of power we might wield. Of course, we are focused on clinging and fighting for autonomy over…

There's already a band called Haunted Pussy.

It was the L and the A, and he bowled at the Gutter in williamsburg.

I am a long time antigentrification activist and low income person living in NY, and... I just fail to see anything patently offensive about the song, at least not based on its lyrics alone. It could just as well apply to the many low income immigrants who move here. I fail to see how this is a "gentrification…

Does she have bulimia cheeks?

If they need to move back in with mom and dad, they should be contributing equally to the household maintenance of mom and dad's place. That said, it's mom and dad's generation who voted and upheld the shitty economy, student debt, gutting of social services, etc. that prevents their college aged kids from having the…

My dude is very much like this too. He goes out of his way to be helpful in all ways. Probably the reason he's the first person I have dated that I've taken seriously as a potential partner.

Why exactly did he not move into HER house? at the VERY least? This just sounds like a Bates Motel "dressing up granny's rotting carcass" a la Psycho waiting to happen.
