False.

Welcome to the liberal communist state of California. Hopefully shit like this makes you think about who your voting for. 

I’m assuming it’s because of the (blatantly false) welfare queen stereotype and America’s past history of forced sterilization - POC women are criticized much more than white women for having multiple children.

This was covered on The Takeout (y’know, HERE!) and it’s not a big deal/misunderstanding and all cleared-up now?

oh my god it’s almost like Uber doesn’t want people making a career out of this, but only to supplement extra money on the side!

I know this will come off cynical, but isn’t it simply because we (rightfully) value human life way more than the lives of animals? My dog is a “member of my family,” but in an emergency she is a second thought to any human life that I could save. The urge to preserve life has a hierarchy, like it or not. And my dog…

Yes, I work in healthcare and the amount of cirrhosis, liver transplants in 50 something women has increased.

This so hard. It's awful and it affects friends of mine and I am DONE with celebrating binge drinking and alcohol as coping mechanism. 

YES. I just came here to write this. I’m a mom who stopped drinking 5 years ago, and back when my kids were younger and I was forced to hang out with other moms, they would look at me like I had 3 heads when I would decline an offer of wine. The responses were fantastic. They were speechless. “Wait...what? You’re…

Totally agree! Not only that, you start hearing about other people’s “dark places” and then sober they pretend nothing happened! Its crazy!!

Agreed! I had one but I will say, they had finished all the bottles. Not a DROP was spared.

Came here to say that. And also--when did it become appropriate for women to shit on the person that they chose to marry?

Agree with all you’ve said. DH and I were talking about how you used to read about people in Russia or other struggling populations drinking themselves to death. And yet when drinking increases in America (and let’s not even get started on the opioid epidemic), we don’t tie it back to the very real structural and…

Increasingly, drinking and driving is scorned, penalties are stiffer, and offering an alternative to drinking and driving is the one absolute good Uber/Lyft has given us.

This. ALL OF THIS. Also, I feel like only white, wealthy/middle-class, married women can get away with publicly talking about drinking heavily/day-drinking/ drinking and driving without consequences. My knowledge is only experiential and anecdotal but I am familiar with DOZENS of poor, single women who are in the…

“Eh, it’s a living”

I could just say “No, I’m okay!” and pass on the drink but its not the kids that wreck my nerves... its the adult women. Its all the comparing and dissecting of your life and all this shit where I start drinking wine to kind of loosen up.

I was just at a kid’s party SUNDAY MORNING and there was so much wine and pretty much every mom was drinking and driving - and it wasn’t even at a house! It was at a warehouse where kids made edible slime! 

She bought it for $2.8M?

Alcohol isn’t a big deal in my social group, but the moms who don’t drink tend to have a huge dependency, emotional as much as physical, on caffeine. I know caffeine isn’t as dangerous as alcohol but it can definitely cause problems drunk in excess. And we really should be questioning more as a culture why women need…
