Me too. I grew up in a auto shop and it made me incredibly uncomfortable as a girl and then as a woman.

Oh, and a shout out to the most fantasic premier Alberta has ever seen - Rachel Notley. She just appointed 50% ministers as well for the province. Also, never done before in Alberta. The world is changing for the better.
Really interesting:

Que complaining about merit! Cause all the ministers before were so fucking qualified.

I like that about them.

:-)

Oh, I saw your advice as measured and kind. I have to ask myself some of those questions some time. So, thank you.

Also, thank you everyone else, you are all very helpful.

Oh! I’m not staying with him because I am no longer marketable. I mean, I really do think he’s the best. But, being honest, yes, I do want the pomp, circumstance and label of marriage.
I know it seems petty, but why then do people get married and not just stay together? As flawed as it is, there is something about…

Ugh. I have been with my partner for 7 and a half years and he still hasn’t asked me. I’m almost 33 now and we started dating when I was 25. Orignaly I never wanted to be married, but something changed a few years ago as I got older and as gross as it sounds, my social capital started lowering. I am no longer 25!…

THANK YOU

Ugh. Could you not? He’s a tool and not good at all for Canada. Just the lesser evil. Look into his policy and how he has voted in the last few years. Often with Harper. I don’t care if he has stupid sexy hair.

HAHAHA. I hope they all get together to “pray” away the gay marriage. Just so I can sit back and see how effective that is.

Yes yes yes! It is incredibly predatory and also I think incredibly rude. These are not home “businesses”, they are using social pressure to make money off your own friends and family by selling them overpriced crap no one needs or wants. I like in a rural area and it’s rampant here.

I agree. That same thing happened to Buffy too. The last couple season, doom and gloom, doom and gloom, killing off so many favorite characters...what’s the point? The stopped having the occasional light story or joke to even out all the shitty things that were happening.

Don’t really think we should be making fun of a dude for crying. Even if you hate him.

Just because you don’t like her doesn’t make that casting call any less sexist or degrading to actresses.

Your pretty bang on. It is practically ALL white women. It really is. There are so few exceptions. Pretty much everyone I know has a problem with their body. They might not always admit it straight out but they way the act and talk screams it. Like criticizing women for being too thin.
It’s true, white women can’t be…

Here you go.

Yes, boys don’t wear all those clothes. They wear t-shirts and shorts to the knee and somehow they aren’t too warm. When boys start wearing leggings as pants, then I think this is worth fighting over.

K. I would be behind all this - but do you ever see boys wearing spagetti straps and short shorts or leggings as pants? Why not?

Oh fuck you. It's rude to ask for money.
