My dad got chewed out by a female colleague for being part of an all-male panel in some engineering conference and now he makes a special note to ask beforehand who the speakers are.

Agree. This is on Time Magazine.
I am done with calling out the actresses on this shit. Call out the magazine, the conglomerate who owns the magazine, etc. This is not her fault. We’re playing games with women who want to help because they arent 100% perfect meanwhile people are getting away with rampant discrimination, assault etc.
I buy men’s sweaters from Gap or Banana Republic because they tend to be nicer, better fabrics, BETTER CUTS, have room for my bazooms, and don’t suck.
And it’s all so thin, you need something underneath. Even the knit sweaters are holey. It’s bullshit.
I needed more sweaters so two weeks ago I made the mistake of trying to buy one online or in a store.
Yes! And when we do talk about it, someone inevitably starts throwing around words like “jealous” or “catty”—even though we’re saying both are terrible.
This conflation of appearance and work prowess could go the other way as well. “I remember looking at people that we were going to interview for the project and [Morgan and Jeremy] kind of making an assessment based on what they looked like,” a former producer who worked with the company in 2009 says. “Like, oh I wish…
THIS! I really hate this “basic” bullshit. Like who gives a fuck how cool you think you are because your wedding so “unique” and “not basic”? Why don’t you just do what you like? If other people happen to like it, who cares? Maybe they like it because it is good. Maybe they like it because it is of-the-moment (and…
Your wedding sounds fabulous. As an older person, I will offer one small counter-point: after the memories have faded, pictures DO last. I paid for everything myself so had to scrimp on some things. I did NOT scrimp on the photographs and they are breathtaking to this day. I have lost more in the last 35 years than I…
Rude AF. It’s not cheap or easy to maintain a nice garden. When I do, I usually have favorite flowers. What a selfish thing to do.
It’s really not okay to just help yourself to other people’s flowers. If you’d asked I’d bet they would have been offered. It’s rather mean spirited.
This is such an asshole move, my jaw dropped when I read it. Under no circumstance should you EVER go and cut someone’s flowers! There’s plenty of reasons, but a few at the top of the list:
So a piece of advice is to stay up late the night before your wedding and steal a few flowers from each of your neighbors’ yards??
We got rid of dumb rules and made cool new ones. We had the event at my childhood summer camp so everyone could stay overnight for free. We wrote our own ceremony around metaphorically and physically building a fire and had my tiny Pagan grandmother officiate. We had my wrestling league perform (and interrupt toasts…
“The flowers I did decorate with, I snuck out late the night before my wedding and clipped from yards or sunflower patches. We only took one or two from any given yard, so we weren’t complete jerks.”
Sit down.
So basically, it’s what dudes imagine their wives are talking about when we fantasize about letting go of all our responsibilities for a day (or week).
I agree. Sometimes you can’t control your environment and as adults we all need to be able to deal with that. I agree that it’s gross— who knows what nastiness is on the floor, especially in the bathroom! But how does it affect anyone except the barefoot woman? If this isn’t causing business problems (e.g., clients…
