Yup. If I had learned that incredibly simple-seeming lesson earlier I would have saved oh so much heartbreak.

A guy broke up with me by blocking me on Facebook. He was a third year at Harvard law, and now works for a big firm in New York.
This makes me not like the writer of the article more than anything. Also, with all the celebrities who say legitimately terrible — racist things, sexist things, classist assumptions that anyone who can't be as involved w their kids as they are is doing it wrong — why all the hate for celebs who are just slightly…
But if your point was just that of women who vote the GOP, the *vast* majority are white, then yes, totally accurate. That is a very different statement than 'the vast majority of white women vote for the GOP' I dunno about everyone else, but that was my confusion.
you too?
...yes? But more of them are voting for Democrats. White women are more conservative than women of color; I don't think anyone's doubting that. They are more conservative than I think they should be given the stakes. But they are more liberal than white men, and in most elections, the majority vote democrat.
Oh my god, I think I went to hs with this kid.
Yes to all of this! I love beer and whiskey and baseball and I sometimes have a lot of fun with one-night stands. But I also have a lot of feelings that are easy to hurt, I care when a guy doesn't text back, I love my female friends with all my heart, I am an extremely outspoken feminist, and while I want people to…

Yuppppp. My life goal is changing that. I know it's an unrealistic one, BUT I went to a really, really wonderful school that I think did its best *not* to stamp out individuality. We celebrated Pride week. Our Christmas assembly included a Dar Williams song. Our arts program was well-supported. The only clothes…
If 'do rags weren't allowed but baseball caps were, that seems kinda racist, but, not sexist...(but if no caps were allowed at all, then pretty solid).
People definitely do, and dress codes ARE important. But so often these days dress codes are taught as "girls, don't be slutty! you'll distract the boys!" which is awful. If dress codes were treated more as "different styles of dress are appropriate for different settings; in a school setting, boys and girls should…
I just want Angela and Rayann to be friends again!!
I have a lot of sad baseball-related feelings right now. Just felt the need to share.
When I'm getting near the end of a book I love, I put the ending off forever just so I don't have to "leave."
That IS why fiction exists! In fact, people who read literary fiction are measurably better at detecting emotions.
Understandable. It's something to consider when you think might be up for it. Good luck figuring things out!
