I feel like “I want to be surprised” is a recipe for disappointment like, 95% of the time (and not just for engagement rings). Most people aren’t surprised by a proposal these days, and lots have a preference on a ring. I mean, I’ve known my boyfriend for years and if you told me to pick him out some highly emotional…

Could not agree more. Basically every stone is more fun than diamonds.

Definitely consider not buying a diamond. I went with a sapphire ring (on sale at the time), got a giant rock that all of her friends love, and paid much, much less than I would have.

You’re going to (hopefully) spend the rest of your life with this person. Have a conversation with them like a goddamn adult and get her exactly what she wants with an agreed upon budget.

Counterpoint: engagement rings are literally an invention of the diamond industry to make themselves money and you shouldn’t get one.

“Political correctness” has existed as long as humans have. There have always been people you didn’t dare disrespect. The only difference now is, more people are demanding their rightful respect. Boo hoo.

Huh ... I thought Donald Trump was the single best argument in not saying what you think until you think a little harder. He’s an object lesson in the value of some level of political correctness. “Don’t just vomit up your ‘thoughts’ all over everyone; just look at Donald Trump!”

I think she was making an analogy— chest::insanity, face::functionality. Lot of one set, little of the other. I’m picturing it delivered with hand gestures that would have made it more clear.

I thought that too, but it might still have been true

Honestly, the very least surprising thing ever about the Donald Trump for president campaign is the fact that he’s an unapologetic cleavage starer.

1. It’s not defamation or libel if it’s true.

The irony of the people insisting she should have read the job’s requirements before agreeing to the job, not reading the article itself.

This does not negate her absolute lack of professionalism which will result in her being fired.

It's also HIGHLY illegal. Source: am civil rights attorney.

You seem like a person who lacks empathy, and enjoys the suffering of others.

“It’s about ethics in workplace attire.”

According to the article, the dress code changed after her boss said something. Pretty hard to read something that doesn’t exist.

Except for when the rules are discriminatory and illegal.

Didn’t read the article? The boss changed the dress code after the fact because they didn’t want pony tails or head scarves.

I’m 66 years old. I became a feminist when I was 5, and my older sister was told she could “join” a model airplane club my father belonged to. She could pay dues, but not attend meetings or meet because she was a girl.(My father promptly “unjoined” that club!) I’ve been waiting 61 years for today.
