I’m also completely fed up with the contempt so many people have for the older female politicians who have been working for decades. There seems to be a paradox of younger women saying getting older is cool and wishing they had mentors, and then also telling older women that only young firebrands have the answers.

THANK YOU. This exactly. It’s actually a little distressing that we are so obsessed with putting AOC up on a pedestal, from which she will of course fall when she inevitably doesn’t live up to Perfecting Everything Immediately. This is some pretty mild criticism from colleagues she needs on her side, and we’re already…

I have a long posting history that’s consistent with my stances. Calling anyone who you disagree with “tomato” is disingenuous; actually engage with what I’m saying.
And yes, they are elected officials, who were elected based on certain promises and stances. Should they abandon the people they represent, who might or…

One of the big disappointments in the US system, for me, is this unrelenting need to find the next big hero who is going to fix everything. The It Girl or Boy of the moment who says all the right things and there’s a collective swoon - and the same is true of the Villain of the Moment. To watch it occur, over and over…

I really like AOC’s policies, but the response of her colleagues seems pretty human; haven’t most of us been annoyed at a new coworker who shows up with grand ideas (that are potentially great and wonderful!) and starts pushing for them without even getting a sense of how those ideas might have failed in the past, or…

I’m blonde, mostly Scottish. I am hairy AF. My heavy peach fuzz was mocked in middle and high school. I have to pluck my mustache daily. The hair on my legs is thick, coarse, and loves to grow (I’m smooth for about 2 seconds post-shave), and I had an ex BF once yell at me that I was a “hairy bitch.”

As a very hairy Jewish girl... I also beg to disagree :[

South Slavs and geek women beg to disagree. 

I on one hand, am trying to get out of the habit of, “Oh come on, your battle is not as bad as mine and I’m not celebrating your revelation with you.” I see women with amazing bodies and hair and skin online post a photo daily with a caption that says, “My fingers trembled as I hit post, my body went into convulsions…

Plenty of white women get routinely mocked for their natural body hair, if you are of Mediterranean/Greek/Italian persuasion. Those particular whites are of northern lineage, who have a mere sprinkle of it. But the rest of their bodies are conveniently smooth. Wow! So edgy!

The Bezos Texts/pictures were leaked to the National Enquirer because they love Trump and Trump hates Bezos. I think that angle needs to be the focus rather than what Bezos looks like. The fact that a sitting president is using his influence to facilitate a stupid vendetta is very unsettling to say the least.

It’s a testament to the civility of Northwestern fans that she hasn’t been stuffed into a trashcan. 

Shut the fuck up.

Look at that poor lady beneath her.

I’d say this pretty much sums up her social life. Add a dozen cats and you’ll have her future.

Really good college sports fans can be a fucking delight—you have to be some combination of funny, smart or original.  She’s just a nuisance that’s none of those things.

The video was also directed by Terry Richardson and is EXTREMELY disturbing. This apology is too little too late.

This is both horrific and infuriating. It also hits way too close to home—after being the victim of assault, being made to feel as though I was the one that had done something wrong. To have to deal with this so publicly... I can’t even imagine, and my heart goes out to her. If it’s true that another group member gave…

I have been made aware that some of the interactions related to a specific Twitter exchange may have had a negative impact. That was not my intention.

For years now, CarMax has been treating both buyers and sellers like children. Sale prices too high, but non-negotiable. Buying prices too low, and also never budge on those.
