maybe it was past 20 weeks? WHY AM I TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF THIS?
YEAH, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN JUST
This is getting scary that you can be charged/prosecuted for having a miscarriage. If your body doesn't cooperate like it *should* and carry the fetus to term, be prepared to suffer consequences. As if you can even prevent a miscarriage or that a teenager would know what to do in that situation.
Fuck Texas; fuck anti-choicers; fuck "prayer" being part of a police investigation; fuck abstinence-centered sex education; and fuck leaving women in crisis (or, in this case, children in crisis!) with no viable options, letting them suffer alone, and then treating them like criminals for doing what they have to do.
Whether or not I take my husband's name when (if?) I get married, I will still go by Ms. Enough with the Miss and Mrs. shit. Women do not need to be defined (any more than we already are) by their marital status.
Whaaaat?!?! People that buck the system for their love might last longer? Dudes that are secure enough to date a woman bigger than they are might also be open in other areas?!!?!?!
Whenever I email a reply to a female parent/guardian, I always address the email to Ms Such-and-Such. I'm not researching marital status in our online records program nor am I addressing a parent by his/her first name. Ms seems safe; Mrs. or Miss...not so much.
That's how my mom uses them. "Emma, you'll never believe it. I just heard the most interesting study on NPR about how 64 percent of girls your age have graduated from law school and are starting families with a nice Jewish boy."
I'm getting married next Saturday and my future husband is taking my name. Suck it, patriarchy.
My partner is 6'4" and a feminist - could I, should I use this study to shame him into doing more of the housework?
You clearly live somewhere where people are sane. I teach in rural VA, and one of my coworkers got pissed at a parent for addressing an email to Ms. Name instead of Mrs. Name. She said the parent had "disrespected" her by trying to make it sound like she wasn't married. Ummmmm...
Seriously, you need this explained to you? If your cousins are just, you know, wearing full traditional costumes around to the grocery store, and/or if they don't participate in the culture, then no, they shouldn't be wearing it.
Since the festival is taking place in Canada, would "Native American headress" be the right term?
There is NOTHING douchey about top hats with cephalopods on them. Anyone who says otherwise has no soul.
Jeeze people, there's a whole world full of funny hats worn by your own ancestors. Think Prussia. Any purveyor of Steampunk accoutrements can help you find something that isn't douchey at all.
That is awesome.
Not only inaccurate, but also seriously outdated. The "who are you?' thing is from back when there were only home phones, and anyone in the house could answer it. Even then, it still was rude - people just say "could i walk to [person's name], please?". The "uhh" thing... maybe, just maybe, it was a misunderstanding…
Etiquette should not be confused with being polite or having manners. Etiquette is what is and politeness is what should be.
So everyone is obnoxious except Japan and Western Civilization. Got it.
