Some people don’t know that they’ve committed to pledges like this in America. Of course there are schools like BYU with an actual contract that is discussed openly for prospective students. But there’s an entirely different realm of religiously affiliated colleges with rules about sex in the student contracts that…

I didn’t call you a monster (nor do I think that’s the case), but if that’s how you feel then by all means, go with it.
*NOT ALL MEN*
Wow, this comment is horrifying. Nicole Holder is not responsible for preventing Greg Hardy from abusing another woman. You know who is responsible? Greg Hardy, because he’s an autonomous adult who has the ability to decide to not be a misogynistic, abusive piece of shit. This line of thinking isn’t any different than…
That I absolutely understand. And I think this initiative is a. super cool in it’s own right and b. totally deserving of support. I guess because I’m not in the technological field I see it from the (definitely too cynical) sociological side of “okay this is great, but are there any ways in which it’s not great which…
This is something that this article made me feel so many feels about. On one side, I’m 100% on board with dismantling the idea that things socially considered feminine are less importance (in technology and otherwise). And I think it’s totally awesome that the designer/programmer(?) is focusing exclusively on female…
This though! I went to one father-daughter dance when I was like 9 or 10 maybe, had a terrible experience (not because of my Da) and never did another one. But I’ve always had the feeling that these things are put on because socially we feel like there’s a huge barrier social etiquette between fathers and daughters,…
If the school issued a statement rationalizing the situation by the size of the museum, they at the very least supported the decision, if not actively had a hand however small in planning it.
Unfortunately it’s not, but it was definitely one of my crowning university moments. The reactions from friends who were “...but, but, but, it’s journalistic freedom” were hilarious.
It’s honestly really unfortunate that people get sucked into the entire wormhole of the website. Personally, I think the absolute WORST are the ones like “23 Reasons to Date X-Type of Person”, because WHY?! I wrote a parody for a campus newspaper when I was in university called “10 Reasons to Fund Time Travel so You…
This is basically how I feel when I see people post Elite Daily stories titled “A Letter to My Ex’s New Girlfriend” or “I Know I’ll Never Replace You: For the Girl My Boyfriend Left For Me”.
My feelings about this matter have nothing to do with the people involved. I support anyone’s choice to consensual marriage for any reason, because that’s their decision and it has no bearing on my life. I “let them do them” and am not here to say that their marriages are any less valid than those who marry because…
I guess should say this for a third time, since it doesn’t seem obvious. I’m not against marriage. I’m not against a self-serving wedding ceremony. I’m not even against a self-serving wedding ceremony that costs $500,000, as long as you’re marrying a person that you love and who loves you. Parties that celebrate…
By self-serving, I refer to spending gratuitous amounts of money on the ceremony and making it “the most important day of your life”, not the concept of wanting to celebrate with your friends and family. But, no, weddings have not always been self-serving even in the way you insinuate. Throughout most ACE history, up…
Arguing this point is fairly futile. What do differences in number of paid working hours per week have to do with household upkeep? I would expect my partner to do an equal share of chores or cleaning even if he worked 50 hours a week and I worked 10, because we’ve both contributed to the state of the household…
I didn’t say that those things were bad. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to uphold the institution of a traditional marriage (pomp and circumstance included) if you’re marrying a person that you love and who loves you. But it’s not uncommon for people to a) feel as though they have to be formally married in order…
The XOJane author did a follow-up q&a post about this because she got a lot of flack for it apparently. She says that her ultimatum wasn’t supposed to be “propose or we break up” but more like “propose or I will”. Which fucking weird because if she’s telling the truth:
It’s not petty at all to want a wedding if you love him and want to be married to him! And it’s totally great want to pomp and circumstance, as long as there is love between the people the circumstance involves. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make it seem like I thought you didn’t love him. If this is what you want, then…
I’m so sorry about your health concerns and the uncertainty of being able to have children, but can I be honest? From this post it sounds like you want the pomp, circumstance, and label of a marriage rather than to be married specifically to your partner. If that’s incorrect then I’m sorry for assuming. But if that…
