Are there really people who, in 2013, call gay men "sodomites"? Not that any of the other slurs he had on his body were any better, but "sodomite"? Really?

EYEROLL. Always nice to get a side of sexual harassment with your paycheck.

I don't bother with shorts, because I think they make my butt look frumpy/like a tent; I just wear A-line, wraparound, and maxi skirts in comfortable fabrics and neutral colors.

You guys would probably get approved for a FHA loan. The credit requirements are pretty low, and so is the required down payment, but the insurance you have to carry on the loan is high.

What's the worst thing your boss has ever done to you?

As a Certified Black Lady™, part of the problem is that there's a whole lot of white people who will only listen to talk of racism (and IMO Tyler Perry's movies are plenty self-hating and racist) from other white people. As a lover of Latoya Peterson and racialicious.com I think it's plenty unfortunate, but that…

What's funny is that everything academic I've ever read on the subject suggests teens whose Responsible Adults talk about sex openly with them wait longer to have sex and make smarter decisions when they do decide to have sex. I don't understand the idea (and it seems to be a popular one!) that talking to teens about…

"If a Women Isn't Passive"?

I cannot understand what kind of disgusting human thinks it's a better idea to throw a dog in the dumpster to be crushed to death than, at least, take it to a shelter and give it a CHANCE at finding another home.

I do not know, but that's an interesting question.

I would personally feel more comfortable with childcare workers receiving a battery of psychological/ personality/ aptitude tests and receiving training rather than requiring x number of units to work with kids, just because I've anecdotally seen people working with kids who were far from the most compassionate…

Funny thing - in California, if you make under a certain amount of money, you get free child care. I think it's something to the tune of $900/month. But you cannot stay home with the child and have that money paid to you. WHY?! I would much rather my $ go towards a mom staying home with baby than mom having to leave…

Affordable, competent childcare is such a huge issue for women of color, who tend to be single mothers at greater proportions than white mothers, and to belong to a lower socioeconomic class, too. I'm glad Jez mentioned this.

TOO LONG! Jk. 8 years.

No, I think they are stupid (someone injects ink with needles into your skin for hours?! And you pay them?!), but they make him happy, and Husband Being Happy trumps Tattoos are Stupid on my "List of Important Things."

Everyone's Someone has flaws that might be considered deal-breakers to Someone Else. I have never had a good relationship with someone who had any one of my deal-breakers (no sense of humor, mean, petty), but I have a great relationship with my husband who has qualities that might be considered flaws/deal-breakers to…

Lol, my son was a very sick child, all "real" doctors (by your process of thought, a D.O. is a quack, right? Only MDs count? Or, in your rush to save my child through the internet, did you assume I'm taking him to a doctor who's not even licensed to practice medicine?) said the only thing he could hope for was a…

The problem is it's not pills, it's a powder. I'm kicking myself because they only charged an extra $10 to encapsulate the powder, and I thought "it'll be so much easier this way!" I was wrong. I'm going to try it in pudding as well. I've been giving it to him in a tea and it's awful.

People love assuming, and love commenting on other people's parenting, even the people who don't have kids.

SMH, I might has well have posted on a Mommy board. Thanks for the concern, I try everything on myself first before trying it on my son.
