I guess I’m the only one who would have left? I’m sorry, but if you think me wanting equal rights & pay for my daughters is “man-hating” then I have better things to do with my afternoon.

Yes! And it really shows how little we care about women and LGBT folks. Can you imagine if the ad had a racist guy and a black guy? Because that’s essentially what it was. The anti-trans guy was like “trans people shouldn’t exist, it’s wrong, it’s against nature!” That is no different, to me, than saying black people…

YES that false equivalent shit. Drove me bananas after the election -- maybe we need to sit and listen to trump supporters, find out what they’re feeling and what they’re really angry about. BITCHES VOTED FOR A RACIST I THINK I KNOW WHAT THEY’RE FEELING JUST FINE.

Words are important.

Pedantic, I know, and apologise in advance but although “connards” does translate literally to assholes, it isn’t quite as strong or vulgar as “asshole” is in English. It isn’t as light as “idiot,” but I would posit that it is somewhere in between. “Con,” for example is literally a cunt, but it doesn’t have nearly that…

On the other hand, Trump is just killing it in the ratings.

Totes agree with you but France has always had the racist underbelly only it was not so obvious before

These guys who seek “mail order brides” do so for a reason and it has nothing to do with love or altruism. There’s no shortage of women in their countries who are their equals in age, beauty, intelligence. They want someone out of their league who they can control. So let’s not pretend these femme fatales are taking…

you almost feel a little bit sad for Melania

This post is a true afternoon delight (...cocktails and moonlit nights).

Morena Baccarin, a woman I know as Brody’s wife on Homeland who is also apparently on Gotham,

Argentina is the place . My primary partner and I have been researching in case Le Pen wins in France. Low cost visas, low cost living, nice fruit and veg, far away from likely nuke fallout, strong laws in support of gays and lesbians and strong birth control and abortion rights.

I just had a serious conversation with my husband deciding that if shit got really scary here we’d leave the country with our now 3 month old son, trying to decide how you tell when it’s time to go (preferably before a nuclear bomb gets dropped), and figuring out where we’d go.

Personally, I was more amused by the “[The military] has done a job as usual” sentence. Dunno if it was a typo by Stassa or what he actually said, but I find it funny nonetheless. The military didn’t do a great job or a terrible job, they just did A job. As usual. Because every other industry just sits on their asses…

True story from a “low-key” bride who spent <$300 on her dress. When I first saw my sister-in-law after the ceremony she said—“You look so...comfortable.”

Also, dating another person isn’t about “having” who you want, it’s about spending time with someone and building a relationship that satisfies you both.

dating in New York as a 30-something executive in private equity

One of many things that stuck out in the novel was how the wealthy and privileged wives absolutely openly CHOSE this turn of events; how women themselves will absolutely chose to not only hold up privilege but will choose to hold up any means to hold that up, including a murderous, fascist government. So don’t feel…
