idk i dont really get stories about how men are awful (chainsmoking next to pregnant wife) and only hear how its bad about the guy. She had red flags. She should have left. She wasn’t destitute. She could have left.

haha you really have to separate pop music from the artists/shit behind it. Don’t sacrifice your workout.

Just the normal one I have which is “why would you have a child with someone this shitty”

As a woman I can’t imagine procreating with a man like that either. But other people, man.

Cat’s book hasn’t been released yet. It’s out at the end of the month. If you linked to it (which you should have) you’d have caught that.

“Seemingly unconcerned with its beauty editor’s serious substance abuse issues”

I don’t think it’s that... I think they just aren’t as feminist as they claim to be and don’t cover it bc they don’t think it will get as many clicks as gotcha posts about people who are earnestly attempting (and failing) to do feminism.

“This is my problem with protests. It’s so incredibly hard to imagine these people actually getting motivated next time when it really matters.”

I went to a protest for an environmental issue in bush W era and I’ve never been back bc it got out of control and people were yelling and violent. I’m super sensitive and get very frightened if anyone is yelling, but my friend peer pressured me to go to this march with them and it was a nice baby step to know I can…

Okay but I think you *do* already know? Compare the numbers of blm protest to this protest — there’s your chunk of women are aren’t going to be there for you.

Yeah, i left the non-profit world bc i was literally on welfare bc i couldn’t find a job in the sector that paid me enough to survive in my city (with roommates, never going out). I burned out, as so many do.

That’s awesome!
