The OP didn't only specify "I prefer to date only people who are entirely separated from their parents' finances and shelters," the OP also said "all adults who live with their parents or have financial support are clearly emotionally stunted losers."

Oh no, I read it. The OP blanketly says that adults - all adults - who live with their parents or have financial support from their parents are inherently losers and emotionally damaged.

I guess some hate it, some don't. Our family was like that too. Five people sleeping in the room during family get-togethers doesn't sound bad to me (we did it), depending on who the five people are. Given that any family is likely to have its assholes and flatulence sufferers it definitely has opportunities to be…

Awwww dang. I had a very parallel experience myself. I was raped in my foyer while unlocking my door after I walked home from the subway, I suppose the rapist followed me. He told me not to scream or he'd kill me and raped me standing up by lifting my dress and pushing my face against the door so I couldn't see him.…

First off - "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. We have this thing called "immigrants" and "cultural communities" here in 'Murica. They are Americans.

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.

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.
