Do you think I lack family connections would be an appropriate answer for why I think I’m single? It’s peasants all the way back in my family. Also, pfft, husband is in the way.

Technically Georgian era, but I agree. Also, I have a graduate degree in history. Neither deodorant nor toilet paper existed before the 1880s, so I’ll gladly stay in the 21st century, where people don’t smell TOO bad.

It’s like the people who pine for the “good old days” of the 50s. They think it was so much better when in fact it was much worse for a lot of different people.

Don’t forget twenty minutes of getting the corset down to the right size, often accompanied by vomiting. Magical times.

They need to add a part where the contestants have to rush out and get married because the chaperone looked the wrong way for five seconds.

Okay, but is there going to be a matronly chaperone that will be present at all times? Will there be deodorant? Will the lady contestant be stripped of her right to vote and use of her own credit card?

In other words “the girls needed a paycheck”. 

That kind of thirst is uncomfortable.

The family that Blue Steels together stays together?

Of course no one is surprised. Black women are hated. We’re cannon fodder for their “economic anxiety.”

Maybe there could be "women's sports" and "fancy lil lady sports" so that dainty little terfs won't have to worry about competing against women they might lose to.

Gender isn’t sex.

The amount of power rich racist donors have on universities is far larger than any of them will admit.

Fired for neglecting to turn on a body cam. Not fired for killing an innocent kid. In what fucking backward assed world does this make sense?

Don’t get me wrong - glad he’s off the force but what a ridiculous thing to read.

Seems to me that one group voiced their free speech rights, and another smaller group voiced theirs and the former ran from the latter.

Where’s the violence? Did any of them get beaten with clubs or other weapons? Did anyone go to the hospital, or get killed? Did one drop of pure white blood get shed? Did any of them even lose their kid’s costume riot shields?

The “crowd” of less than a dozen people exposed them for the posers and cowards that they are.

Was this what the school wanted all along? This last minute, grudging “well I guess you can have your stupid tenure if you’re going to be so bossy about it” vote was clearly meant to be insulting and they hoped she’d tell them to get bent.

The articles in the 1619 Project are brilliant. That we did not receive this knowledge as youngsters is a perfect example of the systemic racism that permeates our entire country and culture (such as it is). If you can read without goosebumps, I’ll be surprised; it’s what the phrase “eye-opening” actually and…

The extra cherry on top of this Fuck Around & Find Out sundae was Hanna-Jones explicitly noting that this dollar amount was to match Hussman’s donations

Let’s be frank, though. This wasn’t UNC foolishly getting carried away with culture-war anxiety, this was their well-established, racist old guard having FEELINGS about an accomplished Black woman saying things that made them uncomfortable.
