Attention, parents of millennials (or tail-end gen x-ers as it were): nobody can effing afford anything-weddings, babies, rent, food... Help out with all those labor rights you worked on rolling back and then we can talk. Maybe. “Finally” got married to LT partner at 33, very low-key deal, and still have not produced…

...a photo of a woman with a black eye, and the tagline, “Domestic violence. Because sometimes, you have to tell her more than once.”

You’re supposed to be hot, but don’t show that you care too much and BE HUMBLE. Always take compliments with disbelief and try to say something self-depricating as a response, otherwise you’re conceited and vain. Don’t just say thanks (or at all), convince men they’re being too kind to notice your 3 hours of getting…

That male gaze double standard makes me want to chew my own fingers off in frustration. Of course she cares about how she looks. I love Taylor Swift but you’d have to be an idiot to not see how carefully she chooses what she wears or how she looks even if she’s just skipping out to the Duane Reade. Saying she’s hot…

It’s just not true, though. Market forces have nothing to do with. Women focused films make a lot of money. Putting a woman in a movie increases the audience. There are way more male directed and starring films that flop, but men don’t get penalized the same way a woman does for flopping. It’s sexism, and it’s not…

You know absolute shit about addiction. People with substance abuse problems are not having a “grand old time.” They are suffering.

You cannot be for real.

When you spoil a child and tell them how amazing they are for their entire lives, they become raging victims when anyone questions their perfection. The same is true when you spoil an entire population. White men have been told, in word and deed, that they are the best relative to their race and gender for their…

Because a nation can never live up to the ideals of its founding myth until it comes to grips with the sins of its reality.

Half of them look like their parents were brother and sister.

We can chalk this up to a larger societal problem, which is how Americans work themselves to death and sacrifice everything to appear busy. This “cult of busy” rewards people for boasting about how tired they are and why. Downtime and vacations are a dirty word in corporate America and despite how busy we are, we…

Hi, if you have boobs, you get to stuff em into a bra everyday and they sweat basically no matter what the temperature is. Suck it up.

...and watching Matlock....

Thank you! I thought Julianne was making a joke about them, and watched the video for a few minutes wondering whether I had a stroke because Selena looked different.

Working title: The Blade

I don’t. They have used their religion and closely held beliefs to protest religious displays in government buildings and won, especially in a post-Hobby Lobby world. This is a fantastic strategy.

I totally understand the sentiment, I really do, but I ask you this: Did you really think they were going to acknowledge your humanity regardless?

It forces the Christian Right to face their own hypocrisy. They pass laws forcing their world view on others while passing other laws allowing them to use their religious beliefs to make them exempt from laws they don’t like. So this is a bit of ‘hoisted by your own petard’...

He also doesn’t believe women should have jurisdiction over their own reproductive systems.

Me personally? No. My reaction was an eye roll and a “really, guys?” But I’m a little calloused and I think my feelers may be off too. I just saw hurt being expressed by others, and I know there are a lot of young people who look up to these guys. I mean maybe it’s not the worst thing in the world for some teens to…
