I worked as a nurse for ten years. It was infuriatingly known that any dude that became a nurse not only would get more cash, because “We need stronger people on the floor to lift, so he’s worth the extra amount”, but they would be fast tracked to administrative positions that were paid more.

I agree. This works if you have a good job with benefits. If you are already living tight, it doesn’t.

I agree. My husband got a vasectomy, and I know a good half dozen other men that have. Some with, and some without children. You know, just in case.

Seriously, I love you.

That’s funny, I was raised religious, and I still turned out trans and gay. Wish I had a mom like you when I was a kid!

Me too. I was in Phoenix two weeks ago when it hit 99 degrees. I lived in one pair of shorts. Why did I even bring jeans and dress pants?

Back when I was a nurse, I saw this all the time. Their benefits are sacred, but poor people who might not be white? Welfare! Moochers! Freeloaders!

I watched a youtube video of a van dwelling poet that lived on very little. He talked about it like a waterfall from which you are trying to fill a bucket. The waterfall is your income, and the bucket always has a hole for spending. You can keep fighting to get more water from the waterfall, or you can start plugging…

I travel for work a bit, and am super prone to jet lag to the point that being exhausted makes me tired. If I can get to my destination a day before, I do. That way I can take it easy in the hotel and adjust. Just that extra day with no pressure to do anything if I’m a mess is helpful.

I came back from Phoenix on Monday in flip flops, ratty cargo shorts, and an overtired bad attitude. Nobody stopped me, but wait, I’m a dude.

Yeah, the conservatives did that with the song “Born in the USA”. They never listened to the lyrics.

This sounds like reconditioned Department of Defense training. We have to go through that repetitively, and I think it led one of my extremely white coworkers to complain about a middle eastern dude on a work flight, in a fit of paranoia.

I can see what you are saying. I work with folks whose every trip is a “once in a lifetime”. Every six months. I think this article would benefit them. I’m too penny pinching for that.

I agree with this post in principle, but occasionally, you have a once in a lifetime event. Like me? I have to fly to Phoenix to have surgery twice this year. It is literally once in a lifetime, so I’m paying extra for 1st class tickets, car rentals, and hotels to be as comfortable as possible.

I’ve never found a moisturizer that didn’t cause me problems. I don’t use it. I am old and dried out, so I put some Lush Ultrabalm on the flaky dry patches, and it works really well. No acne, no greasiness. I can’t speak to how makeup would go over it, because I don’t wear any.

They usually carry XL and Tall sizes a bit separate. My husband has that problem if he gets the 2XL, and not a 2XLT. That tall makes all the difference for him.

Seconded.

Seconded.

Any man needing . . . scratch that, wanting a vasectomy should have to get paperwork signed by his wife.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to post the incredibly popular view on a post that was probably aimed at people who like her.

Actually, I am a dude, so most of what I’ve seen of skeezy feminist dudes were older leftover hippies who tried to argue “free sex” with much younger women. Kilstein-ian variety feminist dudes are just another variety of that.
