No shame, same here! Just takes me back to being a kid and watching Fresh Prince with my sister.

Only for girls names though — boys still need to have unambiguously male names.

Yeah, I've worked at a waiter and as on call support for a service. Both have that same panicked experience. When the service is down and people are calling and you are losing tons of money and possibly data by the second, it feels the exact same as it did when I had 10 tables mad at me for keeping them waiting and…

Okay, now I get it.

Wanting to raise a kid of the same ethnicity as you isn't racist. I think that screwing up sperm from a bank is a legitimate thing to be pissed about.

How can you tell she's self-sabotaging? I'm kind of worried I do the same thing.

I'm so fucking jealous, I want hops as a mascot.

I'm gagging uncontrollably right now thinking about it.

This stuff is rarely purposeful. I bet the guys didn't even think of it. As someone else said, there's "health" and "women's health".

Not just white, I genuinely think we all hold unexamined racist beliefs by the simple fact that we live in a racist society. It's important to realize it and try to get better instead of flipping the fuck out every time someone calls you a racist.

Someone (white) once told me that the most offensive thing you could call a white person is "racist" and that their feelings were really hurt when someone said that to them.

It just shows the pageant's double standards — illegally participating in hazing is completely fine, but shooting legal nude photos or getting pregnant is not. It contradicts their ludicrous claim that Miss America is about role models and scholarships for women. It's not. It's about judging sexually available and…

I know, christ. Just because someone looks a certain way, doesn't mean they're ready for sex.

I learned my name for bodyparts from Linda Belcher's educational chants:

But while he's a good scientist (probably a better researcher than I am), he never engages me in deep conversation—he doesn't discuss interesting topics in current events, literature, history, or philosophy. Is it just my elitism that makes me expect this?

Great point. I feel like there's a high amount of bewildered boyfriends with "crazy exes" or who don't get treated all that great, and I just want to say "maybe if you dated for personality instead of looks, you'd end up with someone who actually makes you happy".

Feels like it's the same everywhere though, not just the east coast. Guys don't care at all that I worked my ass off to get into this industry or that I make good money, they just want me to look good. In fact, some guys don't like that I make more money than they do. Similarly, my male friends don't care about the…

Getting older and seeing my attractiveness decrease (even though I'm making more money) while guys my age still dating women in their mid-early 20s is pretty depressing. That article you mentioned definitely did not help.

Yeah. I have a shitty memory so I am really careful about writing stuff down and entering it into my calendar.

YES, my sister does this too. Drives me nuts.
