It was pretty fucking weird to hear Problematic Garrett be the only guest to acknowledge it looks self-sabotaging to reject two women who like you in favor of chasing after the one who said no.

I think the idea of asking your parents for permission to marry is stupid, and virginity doesn’t mean you’ll be a bad lover once you get to it, but it also seems like she really just doesn’t want him.

Tayshia responded by taking care of him, highlighting the emotional labor expected from women on the show.

So tonight we’re rooting for a crying, entitled man-baby to browbeat a woman who’s expressed clear disinterest in him into half-heartedly entering a doomed relationship with him under duress so she won’t be framed as the asshole who broke the Bachelor’s heart on national TV?

I tend to enjoy traditions, but thankfully my then-boyfriend and I were watching a movie (Meet the Parents, maybe?), and there was a big to-do about asking the father for her hand... and I paused the movie and went on a 10-minute rant about how much I hated that, and how it was no one’s business but MINE, and how it…

My husband would never, ever have asked my mom or my dad if he could marry me, and if he’d have even thought it was ok, I’d have made sure he knew it wasn’t. Luckily he knew it was not ok. Fast forward 10ish years to my younger sister getting married. She buys all of this patriachal bull shit and her husband does this…

I don’t watch the show, but I do enjoy reading the recaps/reactions.

Kirpa: Cassie’s not ready.

The text of that tweet squicks me out. “The chase for Cassie is on.” Gross. She’s a person, not one of those mechanical rabbits that greyhounds chase around a track. I’m so over the narrative that if men simply push harder and don’t take no for an answer they’ll get the girl, like women are prizes to be won in the…

This has been bumming me out. The way he got so upset he ran away and now he’s still pursuing her gives me such bad vibes. I really hope she says no means no, but I’m sure she’ll go along with the story they’ve been pushing that it’s romantic for men to obsessively pursue women after they say no. Disgusting. 

My theory on Colton’s virginity has actually evolved over the course of the season. At the beginning, I assumed he was a deeply closeted gay man, but by the finale, after a thorough examination of all available evidence, I’ve concluded that he’s actually a small boy magically transformed into an adult man - a la Big -…

This is so irritating. Here I am, trying to teach my kids that “No” is a complete sentence and national television is telling them the opposite. This is so gross and toxic and I’m glad I don’t watch this shit. 

Dude’s dumber than a bag of rocks.

He is such an idiot.

At the end of this whole thing, Cassie will grudgingly get together with Colton, likely with some financial inducement by ABC so she gives the show its “fairy tale” ending.

As a very risk-averse teen, this trailer speaks to me.

To say the least. Inflation-adjusted effective buying power is considered by some to have been flat for something approaching half a century.

Keep this in mind when mad money printers like AOC and the Modern Monetary Theory people start trying to sell everyone on some sort of free lunch.

The real story is wages have been flat for well over a decade.

Came to read the holier that thou posts that read “only pay cash for a used car”  Many people all over this country need reliable transportation to get and keep jobs. those jobs may be the best they can to and they cannot afford to go without a car and they may not be able to get a reliable used car or need a car to…
