Thank you. Call out that sexism.

He is adoreable! Stay humble young one. He made an excellent selection too. Hope he does not wear them to death so they last!! If he grows out of them, he can put them in a trophy case, they are very special

Really? You must only shop at the mall, city stores do that to protect the shoes (especially valuable and rare ones) from dirt in the air, on peoples hands, etc

I think there is a time and place to let loose, and a time and a place to be more demure. If you want to be rich you have to be able to differentiate and work both rooms, so to say. There were white people there who, in their regular time, are not so laced up, but they act different at the Oscars bc it is a classy

I think it has more to do with the music industry vs the film industry. Music has always been more diverse and accepting to creative and individual expression. The film industry expects you to, no irony intended but, “play a role”. Its snooty and bougie. I think it has more to do with that.

This is tricky. On one hand I say do you, you got it, you are ready and women have a time clock, men just don’t. On another I think of you meeting someone and explaining you are pregnant/have a child through a donor and how today’s typical man, even one with real potential, will react. Idk, this is tricky. I will say,

That breaks my heart. I work with young kids and I always try to be sure to not emphasize outward appearance. It is bad for the girl who does not get the praise (and I’m sure your 6y.o. is adorable,) as it makes them feel ugly and devalued, but it also hurts the one praised as it teaches them their value is based

Great post!! So true. And I think aside from culture, language is huge. If a man is second or third generation he may date but will only consider marriage with a woman he can speak his native tongue with and teach to their children. I have experienced this with Spanish men more than once.
