So this entire argument is fucked from the start. Let’s ask why the person “making more money” gets to kick back and sit on a throne at home while the other person spends more of their time doing everything else? Let’s also talk about types of labor: a middle manager who sits at a desk all day is definitely not doing…

“How bad you gotta be when your own mother says that about you?”

Vent away!

But since I have the floor and I can’t ungrey anyone, I think it’s hilarious that whenever a thread about women’s unseen and unappreciated labor goes up, some chode will inevitably whine about women having a preferred height. OR you can see for yourself how many men will self-profess to being the cooker/cleaner/home…

Sorry to everyone replying to me. I see parts of your comments but Kinja has been and probably will stay broken so I can’t reply back.

I think so many of us are stuck with the romantic image of what marriage is that the reality of partnership can be extremely difficult. Finding a middle ground, learning each other’s preferences, and putting in the actual work to be team members.

Right, all of us bring “baggage” and triggers to a relationship and need to learn to manage those things separately and together. If someone has access to therapy they should pursue counseling. I am anti-staying in the marriage because you’re used to it or because of the kids. There’s no need to make yourself or each…

Okay, I’ll bite.

I know a lot of my negativity towards men comes from watching the women in my life suffer through their relationships. I would say that each of the women in my family was independent and her own person in her own way. But in their relationships they had to suppress their personalities and wants while being expected to…

I’m sure it’s because I’m a barren millennial spinster with no prospects but I’m also sure it’s because I watched my mother and aunts struggle in their relationships with men that I am convinced that marriages with men are a true dice roll in life.

I find it rich that people who are all “Wahh! We don’t know these celebrities, it’s none of our business what they do!” are the same people clicking on celebrity news and feel self-righteous. Look, if it wasn’t a national celebrity you’d be gossiping about the people in town. This is not a new phenomenon.

Who would have thought that we can’t girlboss gatekeep our way out of this?

I’m a woman and in the last six months I’ve been absolutely inundated with exercise/fitness/wellness/vitamin ads. I don’t know if the algorithm thinks that because I have an activity tracker then that must mean I’m interested in making those purchases.

Apparently, the US is somewhat unique in that there’s ads for pharmaceuticals at all. All pharma and pseudo-pharma ads should be banned.

“any non-sponsored content promoting pharmaceutical medical products is banned from the platform.”

I don’t have a legal answer but I’m guessing that because the Kardashians are independently wealthy they can just sequester Kanye in whatever mansion they want whereas Britney was/is generating the lifestyle for her conservators all by herself.

I laughed.

I’m supposed to believe that Cuomo would never do anything inappropriate toward his staff but he’s out here asking someone to watch his dog? Not only that, asking people who you won’t be the boss of come Tuesday?

So let’s boil it down to its’ simplest part:

And this brings me back around to my AOC/purse argument. As a disclosure, AOC can do little wrong in my eyes. She puts in the work along with the other progressives.
