Oh, WE are not going. Not even my parents (ages 85 & 87) are going! A priest is coming tomorrow to their little auditorium. Hubby and I are ditching to go birding in the Great Swamp.

Seriously? Suggesting using a whip in a black woman? Are you kidding me?

As my 87-year-old white mother just said, “It’s obvious that this country is trying to kill all black people.”

Not to mention, the VAST majority of kids who get NO financial aid.

Hear, hear!! Hooray!!

Visiting my parents in their retirement facility in NJ. “Rosary” the activities board says. 👀

Exactly. The whole system is insane. The rich get richer and the poor get bullshit.

So much misogyny in such an inane comment. Feeding a dog with a bottle gets a pass. But - HORRORS! This awful woman wore MAKEUP and HEELS on your camping trip, thus ... having exactly what effect on your life, again?

Here is why I never had a nanny, an au pair, or a housekeeper: because I cannot afford to pay them what they are worth.

Well, no. There’s a huge history of (American) girls and women being admonished to “act like a lady.” Don’t raise your voice. Always be polite. Never spread your legs. Don’t eat with gusto. Don’t interrupt. And on, and on, and on.

Also, didn’t she make it a mission to out gay students at Dartmouth? She’s horrible.

Well, he’s a white dude betraying the cause of whte dudes everywhere, so they are INCENSED!

SERIOUSLY. As a kid, I was very confused. “Wait ... Monday Thursday? A Thursday that’s really a Monday?”

I was relieved he had SOME insight, at least.

Or Jezebel. They love that shit over there.

Well, I don’t actually have to take orders from you, do I, dude?

You’re so clever. Always resort to misogyny to keep women in their place! But you’re so progressive that you probably detest (and would never use) racist slurs, am I right?
