“Practice your attitude” = “Women and black people should remember how to speak when talking to their betters.”

This is our version of normal now—it’s on us to “carefully approach” every single person we come in contact with because they may shoot us.

Yep. Just saw people yesterday talking on Facebook about how terribly middle eastern countries treat women and how we shouldn’t accept refugees. And all I could think was, “Yeah, because we don’t have assholes who hate women and terrorize them in this country.” And then this. For once, I wish I was wrong. But even…

Buy if he’d taken them out of the cart (so customers don’t have to use carts with empty beer cans in them) and thrown them in the trash, that would be fine, right? Because it’s not like Wal-Mart wanted them. Wal-Mart just didn’t want him having them. Logically.

Conservatives want “small government” for all the things liberals like and exceptions for all the things conservatives like.

I can admire deeply held and sincere beliefs, but when people think that those beliefs should extend to everyone and become public policy...I find that very hard to admire.

I’m not really down with championing anyone who is actively promoting an an anti-choice agenda as a “hero,” no matter what their religious beliefs.

Oooh! Ooooh! I know how it differs! I know how it differs! I can tell you, Donald, you reanimated corpse.

Surely this has gone on way longer than Trump expected and now he’s tired and just saying the most bizarre outrageous right wing bullshit in the hopes that someone, anyone, will oust him from this nightmare, right?

Yes to the counseling. I’m amazed whenever I hear about people who got married without the two people deciding whether or not to have children, or where to live, or making basic plans about how the finances will work.

Exactly what I was thinking. Since this proposal originally came from the late 1800’s when men and women couldn’t even talk to each other unless they were married or family members (slight exaggeration but you know what I mean) this whole “trial marriage” was the logical way around that, without living in sin. Now…

oh my god, the “WE need to do” when what he really means is “Can YOU do this for me?” is such a peeve of mine. I call him on it, but it sounds really bitchy. And, it doesn’t even work. The conversation goes like this:

I’ve done that, and the boyfriend agrees, and then never does it, because he literally cannot *recognize* when he needs to. And that’s why the whole “Oh well go find someone else,” is both trite and untrue. I’m friends with many, many different types of guys, and the inability to recognize when emotional support is…

lol my husband hasn’t put new tires on his car in possibly a decade. I have no idea how they’re not just shreds of rubber. I’m not even sure he knows how to pull a dipstick. And he changed batteries in the smoke detectors ... after I asked him to ... and they’re still sitting on tables in their respective rooms…

How many hours per day do you spend cleaning your furnace filters, buddy?

How about... If your spouse/boyfriend/whatever neglects to do any of the “emotional work,” and you feel that it’s vital he do, then you ask him to do so?

If you can suggest a way to say “No, you need to find a birthday present for your own sister.” without it sounding like “I don’t care about your stupid sister.”, well, I’m all ears.

If you want to work things out that way, you should be able to choose to. But what needs to stop happening is men assuming that women will pull the bulk of this weight simply because they don’t feel like learning how, and devaluing the time, effort and energy that goes into it. Men constantly assume that women will…
