Men (especially older white men) see "women slightly decreasing their disadvantage" as "WHITE MEN BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST!!1!"

Angelina's liquid eyeliner doesn't match on both eyes either!

My first reaction was "what a goddamn waste of money!" But my second reaction was, would I want my son to have to go to the school where his friends and teachers died? Probably not.

Never. We have discussions, and we both agreed a long time ago that once we had kids (we've had one for six years now and have another one due in November) we would listen to whatever the other person had to say and consider it honestly, even if one of us sometimes (usually me) has to go, "EXCUSE ME, I have to be…

I didn't buy my mom anything because she's not a very good mother.

I can't imagine the "UGH!" that happens when a person gets a "Seatosky replied to you" notification. I wouldn't bother reading it before dismissing it either.

Er, ok. See ya.

My husband is from Boston and he has pissed some people off in California with his give-no-fucks attitude. He stopped traffic on a main street in San Diego once because a dog was going to get run over.

Sure thing, darling.

Because I bet you are.

I came to California 23 years ago and I've probably seen a lot more of it than you have. Also, I'm black. You're white. White pe0ple love pretending California is some sort of post-racially enlightened mecca. (It isn't.)

Then I've had good luck. When I've been to California, people have been wonderful.

No, I'm black. I find more casual racists in California than I've found in the Southern states I've visited. The people commenting that "good things happen in California all the time!" are probably white.

I have had people help me out in California too, but it's not something that's ingrained like it is in the South. Smaller cities in the Central Valley still have it, but overall, you won't see a group of California teenagers running outside to help an old man load grocery bags into his car, and then just wishing him a…

When our car broke down in a little town called Altoona in Alabama, all I could think was "we are an interracial, unmarried couple in a town in small-town Alabama. Do you want to die first or should I?" (which says more about me than it does about the people of Alabama), but literally the first person who saw us…

I have never, ever, ever, ever had strangers help me out in California the way I did in the South, and I've lived in California since I was six, so for 23 years. I've lived in all the major metropolitan areas, too.

I always talk a lot of shit about the Southern states (because get out of here with your Republicanisms, The South), but driving through AL, GA, and SC is the only time I've ever really witnessed people genuinely helping each other out, and experienced it myself. It doesn't really happen in California. Good video.

...or give you acne.

Thanks a lot for ruining my life, Laura Beck.

Pfft I always think the parents who shame other parents for that stuff are secretly the grossest among us. Like I KNOW at some point you've had to decide whether to be on time or clean poop off of something, and you decided to be on time.
