When people call the NHL a Mom and Pop league I didn’t realize it was because they’re not letting us go out with our friends on school nights.

100% this. When I left my home town in rural NY, there were I think 4 black people in the town, and the only Mexicans worked on the farms. Everyone else was white. Then I went to college, I was able to interact with people who came from different cultures, different backgrounds, people that had different beliefs and…

Exactly. I think it has much more to do with critical thinking education which is much more prominent in college than high school. And I think it perfectly represents why, in some places, the GOP is doing everything they can to hinder critical (or really just “challenging”) thought in schools.

Good point about higher ed by the author- I also don’t buy the liberal indoctrination in higher ed thing, based on my own experience. I became the insufferable liberal I am today at a christian college. My teachers weren’t particularly conservative, but neither were they overtly liberal. And my peers skewed…

It’s sort of fun. I recommend giving them things like “The Golden Compass”.

I stopped reading after that.

Starred because it deserves to be ungreyed. But I disagree that conservative policies are reasonable about money - see our military spending, the long term cost of cutting funding to health care, social safety nets, and education. It doesn't matter if you save a dime here if you lose a dollar later because your…

Hey, self-awareness is powerful indeed. You would prefer that a person doesn’t grow over his/her lifetime and acknowledge that growth? I don’t think anyone is fully formed at 18, and those who do are typically 18 year olds.

That’s not entirely fair—a lot of teens aren’t really educated on the issues, and if their families and friends are conservative and that’s all they know, they’re more likely to lean conservative. I was the same way (sans boyfriend) because I was raised in a very conservative Christian environment. I grew up and then…

My best friend and college roommate for three years is a conservative, and was a member of the college Republicans. He was (and is) an exemplary conservative and one whom I wish the party was full of.

It’s there because I put it there.

This ad is under the article about the Depp-Heard divorce (on my end anyway), and I find it extremely appropriate.

Your comment reminded me of my dad. Yesterday, he went to talk to the 8th graders about Vietnam because he fought three tours there. They were learning about it in class. He was telling them about the pins on his hat and what they meant. He has a ranger pin because he went to Ranger school. He started to tell them…

I think if beauty standards were on par with what was around in Paleolithic times, I’d agree. The crossroads comes (mainly for women, but also for some guys) when you incorporate modern beauty standards but still try to use evolutionary cleaning methods.

The combination of smog/ pollution, sun damage, make-up products,…

Schrodinger’s Feminist

Isn’t that funny? We’re monsters, fat and unfuckable yet men fuck us all the time.

I always find it hilarious when MRAs find women “unfuckable” while also being involuntarily celibate.

The dead end was frustrating, because, as a fat feminist, I was hungry to find out who the original poster could be so I could then eat them.
