As a fellow white, non-rich person, I’m also wondering where the F I’m supposed to live. I can’t live in rich neighborhoods because I can’t afford it, and if I move to a cheaper area, I’m “gentrifying” it. Fortunately, I’ve had rent control for a million years, so I’ll probably just die here. :/

You get out of here with your moderate, rational thinking!/s

I recommend jewelry insurance. It isn’t that much and worth the peace of mind.

I promise you that people that are this critical of others’ decisions that in no way affect them are equal opportunity haters. I’m white and have been hearing the “weddings/rings/etc are such a waste of money” from other women FOREVER. You don’t want to spend your money on X? Great, don’t do it! Although I do have to…

Counterpoint: Women (or their families) often are the ones making all of the deposits on wedding venues and services. The guy should be committed financially as well. When my friend broke up with his fiancee, she kept the ring to pay back the deposits on wedding venues. That actually seems quite fair.

I am a white person with Native American in-laws. They give me handmade jewelry and purses and things like that as gifts. At first I worried about how it looked to others and then I realized: life is too short to worry about that shit. They aren’t making things to only be sold to other Native Americans. I suspect…

I can’t help but think that the tin can is a bit genius. That’s like a book safe - hiding a bunch of money in plain sight. But what will happen if I store my grease in it?

WTF. Ok, to qualify - this was a long time ago, and she was always nice TO ME. Plenty of celebs are assholes in person so it’s refreshing when you meet one that talks to you like a human. And I know she loves animals (but is a horrible caretaker). Interesting that Kim K must have known this and stayed besties with…

I’m guessing you’re not very good at reading people since neediness/insecurity is extremely easy to see.. Let me put it in Jezebel terms. I see women called “thirsty” on here all. the. time. THOSE girls are the ones that I am referring to. Am I using the appropriate lingo now?

Yes, I realize one act is consensual and one not. But just because something is legal doesn’t mean it doesn’t have ramifications. If the age of consent in a state is 16 and a 50 year old man has sex with a 16 year old girl, it’s legal. If a teacher has sex with an 18 year old student, it might be legal. If you blow…

I guess that my takeaway from the song wasn’t that it was about women being proud of their bodies (I mean, her body is ridiculous and she’s clearly proud of it) but about women changing their bodies and behavior to meet men’s standards rather than being happy with themselves as they are. And now that I’ve had to watch…

Not blame directly, no. But would you have contributed to a culture where that behavior is normalized? Yes. While we call out the men who knew about Harvey and didn’t say anything, we should also call out the women who knew and said nothing (note: I am not talking about his victims, obviously, but the Meryl Streeps of…

Ok let me be clear because what I said was through a couple of different posts and perhaps I didn’t explain it well enough. Yes, I can tell when someone is attention-seeking. Two women can be wearing the same thing or look exactly the same and come across two completely different ways. Do you not think you can detect…

I find it difficult to believe you made it through law school with such terrible arguments. I’m not attacking anyone except you because your response was fucking rude.

(1) You’re projecting.

I actually watched about 30 seconds to 1 minute of the video to remind myself what the song everyone was talking about was. I’ve never had MTV but I know the song from the radio. And from what I gathered, this song is not about eating disorders. I rewatched to figure out what you are talking about (fuck you for making…

That is exactly why I said: it’s the carriage, not the clothes. Are you saying you can’t tell anything about someone based on actions and body language?

Ok now you’re playing semantics and you are purposefully missing my point. So. To be clear.

No sweetie, it’s not a competition for me, I’ve outgrown that early 20s bullshit. I’m settled and happy with myself and my life. It’s actually sad that these girls are so desperate, but that doesn’t excuse the behavior.

I don’t make things up about “gorgeous strangers”. There are tons of gorgeous people that I DON’T think have insecurities. I’m not basing my opinion on their looks, I’m basing it on their BEHAVIOR. Why is that so difficult to understand?
