I do think if you put identical candidates one of whom is older and a man and one who is younger and a woman but their politics and approach are the same I would be more likely to vote for the younger woman. But that’s just not the case here, IMO, there are definable differences in both the approach and politics that…

At least. Everyday. I do wonder what was included in housework (cooking?) I mean I do have 6 kids but I wouldn’t say the amount of cleaning has changed much since I had two except the mountain of laundry.

Regularly might have been the wrong word. But I think the point was that things like dishes have to be done daily. Yard work could be weekly or in the winter, not for months (all variable in climate, type of landscaping, etc). This also kind of assumes a single family home which leave out a lot of folks where there is…

The article here is a bit unclear. Medi-Cal already covers undocumented minors through their 19th birthday. Similar to the ACA this expansion should mirror the staying on the plan through their 26th birthday. I’m actually pretty skeptical of the costs. This is a low risk/low usage group. They generally need…

I think it’s important that she was talking about critics/journalists... not the lay movie goer. I think it can become cliche to focuse on things associated with the “feminine” when a woman is directing the film. Like journalists asking moms of minor kids who will watch their kids when running for office. It’s tired…

But even this. Acting as if all mental illness is curable is also dangerous. Our treatment of mental disorders while based in research and evidence is still in it’s very early infancy. I am sure looking back we will look at this time similar to blood letting or leaching. Maybe helpful in very select situations but not…

Mt Rushmore, OTOH, does not.

Overpopulation is racist bullshit. Educating women and girls, providing family planning resources, and giving women independent means to earn resources will reduce poverty and almost universally reduces birth rates. BUT consumption will increase when poverty is reduced. The overpopulation myth is just that, a myth.…

My baby was born with a head, and I mean head of BLACK hair. He is two now ans super blonde. 3/4 of my babies have been blonde as toddlers but the other two started off with no hair. I see pictures of him as a tiny baby and am still shocked how dark his hair was and how fair it is now. Babies are weird.

Is he being lauded in incel circles? I cannot bring myslef to do that kind of research. He does not strike me as incel-ish at all. He can still be all sorts of fucked up for his misogyny and not be an incel. He looks like the type to be all... I’m a feminist but... not feminism is making it so women won’t fuck me.

Even with the six kids that box of garbage bags lasts FOREVER!!!

Have six kids and you will no longer laugh. That’s like a week’s worth.

yay classism, racism, ableism, and elitism like all rolled together. This kind of racket is why my mother WILL NOT write anything. She has pretty significant dyslexia and has a really hard time with spelling and homophones. Her voice, her life is silenced by attitudes like this.

The greys, the greys. What aboutism for days. I cannot even with the “toxic femininity” bullshit. Toxic masculinity is part of the patriarchy that preserves the power and status of cismen. For fuck sakes. A lot of the “toxic” behavior that women unknowingly engage in is also a byproduct of the patriarchal society…

Russia helped me get elected but I had nothing to do with it. I just wanted to cover up that I had nothing to do with it.

Right, like it used to be LaCroix or terrible store brand seltzer. Now it’s a seltzer utopia. Every flavor combination, available everywhere. I like the LaCroix Curate flavors but somethings like grapefruit are better from other brands. Bubly has fun flavors that really appeal to my kids. I also prefer smaller, less…

For real. 2 minutes is an ETERNITY to stand with a toothbrush in your mouth. My kids use Alexa to set their teeth brushing timers. And then constantly ask how much time is left.

This could be a whole nother #metoo-esque genre. I don’t know a single woman in my life that hasn’t had some creeping guy who thought he was much more than a casual acquantence in that woman’s life. I have at least a half dozen serious situations and I partnered young and am not even in the same league as Portman. The…

Absolutely! I also just think no one is seriously interested in a anything with a 30something lady with six kids and the saggy tummy to prove it. There is no risk he’d actually do it with me even if I was willing to step out on my PNW dad bod hubby.

Eh, in a Red State I’d argue this is even more important. As we are seeing here in good ole Oregon, bargaining chips are really more important than anything else. Republicans pulled every lever they had to kill gun control and a mandatory vaccination law. The Democrats allowed those as chips in the school funding law…
