Well I find a vision of life where women are expected to drag their reluctant male partners kicking and screaming into adulthood depressing ;-) Sounds like a ton of work.

This is a Bad Take.

Fair. I’ve gotten shit from some random old lady because my house didn’t have Christmas decoration with enough “Christian Spirit”.

She found out about Lee/Guo from her husband’s phone, didn’t she?

When I was 15, I was admitted to the psych ward through the ER for some pretty serious self-harm (cutting, specifically). It was November. I didn’t want to talk to my dad in there ‘cause I knew he’d be an asshole. He was such an asshole to the caretakers, though, that they MADE me talk to him just to get him off their…

I about pissed my pants laughing the year Spanx sent me a “holiday gift giving guide.” “Here’s a girdle! Merry Christmas, fatass!”

I work in a small office that is predominantly women. We hired a man, who immediately started making inappropriate comments. When he made a rape joke in front of me at a staff meeting, I called him out on it and said it was not ok. The other women in the office would giggle and tell me I was overreacting because he…

This made me take a sharp breath because it so perfectly encapsulates toxic workplaces. 

Lol. Yup, it is! If it’s a verb, it’s almost always “affect”.

Your choices are:

This will have no effect on any of our lives.

Or

This will affect none of our lives.

I can’t even describe how angry this makes me. First of all, the books aren’t yours. Second of all, they’re BOOKS. Asshole.

When I hear actors tell these “behind-the-scenes endearing” stories that are actually terrible about their costars, I like to believe it’s purposeful and they’re finally taking their revenge with a smile, faking cluelessness with a morning talk show host.

Doctors and nurses are at high risk of catching diseases through accidental needle jabs, contact with fluids, etc. People who do hair, or massage services, or manicures, etc, are all at risk of catching nasties off their clients. I suspect that irrational stigmas around sex and sexuality transmitted infection are why…

When the magazine queried the Indianola’s headmaster about its racial make-up, he promised “we also have Hispanic, Indian, and Oriental students.”

I would really like to implore people in this thread to please use accurate language. Sex workers do not “sell their bodies”. I am very confident that the woman interviewed in this article is in possession of all of her limbs, organs, digits, etc. What they sell is a *service*, similar to the services sold by massage…

And don’t tell me about how osha is supposed to step in lol, read up on the factory conditions at the Tyson chicken plant and why major accidents go unreported and horrific injuries unclaimed because of fear of losing their jobs. I don’t even get all this fake ass pearl clutching. I’ve never been so disappointed to…

Every comment in here “I’m not judgemental, but here’s me judging.” Y’all concerned for this woman, but let’s hear it for the women forced to work on their feet, forced to lift and move in unsafe ways, who get their hours cut or conveniently laid off while pregnant.

Does the crack-addicted teen sex worker who lives on the street have a choice as to work while pregnant? Does she have a choice to get pregnant in the first place?

I once got in trouble because some customers stayed til 130am when we closed at 11, and they could hear me talking shit about them in the wait station. I still regret the shouting and everything but yeah: FUCK those people

On a steak? Always!!! On a burger!?!?! No way!

I don’t trust ground beef enough to go mid-rare.
