I think that was the point - that the employer assumes that everything is a choice, when the reality is much more complex

I want to have a job where I can work in sweatpants but afford million-dollar rings?

Somebody told me that too. That and assuming that she would also probably be pregnant within 6 mos. as well

Well, you’d get a mortgage. I had friends making in the tens of thousands do it in Inwood in Manhattan. Worked out well for them. Paid $1400 p/mo on their mortgage+fees for a two bedroom right across from a subway and fort Tryon park

Williamsburg... Please

Why did you DOOO that to me? Now I’m at work in squee-land <3

They are so, so bad - which I'd forgive if she were 13. But girl is in her late 20s?

Most of them died in the last famine :-(

Those peoples happiness has been bought though with a WHOLE lot of unhappiness :-( Wealthy people horde food for when famines hit, wiping out whole villages and family lines

And while he’s at this “state approved Epcot center" he's probably standing on stones that have literally been paved with human suffering

I agree with everything you said except for this:

Probably it’s ‘brotherhood’ in terms of “We won’t tolerate difference”, which after the four years I spent in Paris, seems pretty much what I gleaned from society there.

Can I just make a fart noise in response to that?

Followed by:

I read it as don’t live with a significant other... Ever - even the one you’re married to... I wonder what she proposes the living arrangement to be if somebody becomes pregnant or if she proposes that we stop having children in order to preserve purity of independence and romance, too?

Oh man, it’s like everything you say has been engineered to piss me off. “Fat” is a descriptor... Fuck, even fat activist blogger and former Jezebel contributor Lindy West talks about this At Length. The more people avoid describing “fat” or “thin” or “skinny” the more we delude ourselves. I am fat... Not at fat as…

Fuck you! “Average sized” what the fuck does that even mean?

Really? I don't know if that true...

I heard that too! Both Leslie Jones and Liz Black have very specific body types - that are different! My body type is yet a third vastly different from those two. Some women are just shaped different!

A 49-yr-old baby in “jammy jams”? Yuck!
