As a woc who has called out professors, employees, friends, I sympathize while not condoning what he did. There’s a lot of people that are acting all outraged who do the same thing all the time and it’s not realistic to pretend we all have the option of being social justice warriors on the front lines of our jobs.…

Except we’ve seen in all the high profile cases so far that there are MULTIPLE accusers. So if it’s a 1-vs-1, yeah your concerns are valid.

IKR. Look at me being a gentrification apologist.

What about when the alternative is an abandoned house that is used as a drug den?

i don’t know where these people live or who these protestors are, but most of us aren’t doing so well with the way things were and still are. new money coming in here would be a blessing for us in boyle

As someone who grew up in some shitty neighborhoods, I don’t see gentrification as some sort of evil monster. I’d much rather have a legit grocery store in the neighborhood than be stuck with corner stores with jacked up prices. I’d much rather have occupied houses than living next to vacant properties. Where we live…

I feel like the people in the comments are all of the opinion that there are no benefits to gentrification, but there are. It’s not all black and white.

Yes! We backed it up with insurance. This is a great tip!

Guess I’ll find out if ever I try to return the ring. We both read through the policy and it has the same policy online. I didn’t see any loopholes apart from it didn’t cover anything if the ring was lost. Insurance on the ring is the backup.

This was not my experience! I have taken the initiative in asking men out, initiating chats on dating apps, and initiating sex. It was always a turn off. I’m glad there are people like you out there but ya don’t speak for The Men. And I live in a liberal city!

Like you ain’t sucked dick for just chips and dip.

This whole thread is like reading a bunch of virgins giving each other sex tips.

No comment then, on “thanks you for seeing the potential in me since you met me”. I mean, I guess who am I to know the interworking of their relationship or the circumstances under which they met, but that bothers me way more than any ring. Sure in the past it was a sign of ownership, but now it is a sign of…

I wanted a courthouse ceremony and a barbecue. My husband, because he had family coming from out of town, insisted on the whole shebang, to the tune of $24,000.

I wanted to ask my now-husband to marry me, and he implied, in no uncertain terms, that he wanted to be the one to ask. I also did not want a diamond wedding ring, and told him as much, and he got me one anyway.

This is Dear Jane, which means one, if not more, of the answers are going to be all wrong or partially wrong. From everything I have seen it is okay to dress up as other races as long as you being respectful and not using identifiers that can be offensive.

Asking hour black friend if something ok is so white. Whether she knows it or not, Kara Brown, a woman of color who wrote for a white woman’s blog for years is not the voice of all black people. You thinking she is, well that’s a problem.

Podophobic — if your office doesn’t have a dress code, then you need to mind your own fucking business. I mean, I have plenty of opinions about how people should dress at work. Most of them are stupid and I keep them to myself. They include:

No bare feet

Can you write the advice column please.

As it happens I just watched the documentary by Amy Berg “An Open Secret” yesterday. Marty Weiss features as does Corey (although I think it was archive interview footage rather than directly participating in this documentary). The producers could never get distribution for the film. No one in Hollywood wanted to…
