You guys!! ILL BET SHE READS JEZEBEL. We love you, Michelle!!!

Like Leslie Knope meeting Joe Biden. Yup, that would be me upon meeting either of the Obamas.

It speaks volumes about his character that so many of us can imagine just hanging out with him and telling jokes or shooting pool.

Agreed! I can’t WAIT for Michelle and Obama to become grandparents. I mean, if their girls want kids. But you know those two would be the ultimate g’parents.

Wow. This is a great discussion. I’m a liberal white woman, and I’m cringeing because I’m hearing the truth of this in a way I haven’t before. A few minutes ago I made a post about how black voices are the way forward, blah blah. But yeah...how hard have I tried to make change where it’s needed, as opposed to the…

Replying to my own comment after reading Chief Queef and heywhat’s comments about black women having to carry the Democratic party. I appreciate hearing that perspective; thanks.

Maybe this country needs a more concerted effort toward urging black voters to come out like this in every election. Their voices are the way forward. With active disenfranchisement against black voters rampant in so many voting districts, perhaps the focus should be on preparation before election days and extra…

No, not 70%. More like 15% of white people. I think your calculations are off.

Thank you. I have family in the south and am always incredulous that with them, every single issue comes down to abortion, always. But they are reasonable people in many other ways. Maybe this would work.

You know what? YOU DO NOT HAVE TO APOLOGIZE FOR VENTING. Or for ranting, or for claiming your right to be angry about this. xoxo

I’m glad to hear this from someone who’s an expert - thanks! I’m going to go back and read her environmental plan now. Maybe it will give me some hope for the future!

Does Torrid have good bra sales at certain times of the year?

What on earth...who was the grateful recipient of Geraldo’s photo?

All of us at the end of the semester stand in solidarity with you...:)

Do you want to double-date with Mr. Secondgoaround and me? Same scenario except ours was over text!

Playgirl gave me my first glimpse of the male bits. I was 12 and sneaked one off the shelf at a local 5 & 10 store. This was 1976, when kids had to exert some effort to see nudity. I remember thinking, “So...that’s it? That thing dangling there?” and hastily stowing it back on the shelf when I saw my mom heading my…

If we started a #MichelleObamaTaughtMe, I think there would be thousands of examples! I learned so much from her, too!

Jinni, I appreciate your comments! I put this under someone else’s comment but I’ll repeat it here: You may have already read Stephanie Coontz’s book “A Strange Stirring: The Feminine Mystique and American Women at the Dawn of the 1960s.” Fascinating book about how Friedan’s work transformed women.
