I have a college-educated, middle-class atheist progressive female friend who has yet to say the word vagina to her 8-year-old daughter and has no plan to because “she isn’t comfortable with that word.”

Wait, a staffer told you YOU didn’t understand what a vagina is for after you said someone’s mother was calling to remind them they came out at one. There is an adult in PA who still doesn’t know where babies come from????

I will argue till my last dying day that PA is the FL of the North.

Awwww, but you have a profound self-awareness many people from happier backgrounds do not. I had the All American Childhood on paper. But people really don’t appreciate how much a military childhood can fuck you up as an adult if you decide you want nothing to do with the military.

That’s really shitty. I hope you feel valued, appreciated, and loved in life now.

Christ, can’t they get her for disturbing the peace or something?

Children are people, individuals with their own human rights not reliant on their association to another person, yet our culture treats them as property until they are 18.

And let’s be honest, the only reason a lot of those parents even care is for the money they can get. I had a kid work for me in a warehouse who was going to high school but working as part of the votech program because his mother didn’t want to work and put the burden on him to help make up what she couldn’t get in…

It’s easier and less expensive if they can put them back home. This is America. You ever want to know why we do things as backward and as fucked up as we do, the answer is always cost and/or profit. People exist only for profit. They don’t matter once they have a cost attached.

Exactly my thought. You were so fucking concerned you let a grown man hold her down (god knows what had been done to this girl), then you call the cops on her and tell her she’s gonna spend the rest of her legal childhood locked up, and as a black mother in America who probably is at least a little aware of what is…

I was under the impression that Coachella was a festival for spoiled predominantly white people to appropriate other cultures while listening to shitty music drugged out of their gourds. And also so Hollywood types have somewhere to prance around in floaty dresses and flower crowns. This guy sucks, but his customers…

I just bought my ticket for a bus coming from Coastal GA.

I’m actually on the other side of 35, I was speaking of past me. But the fact you think the ability to recognize a has-been has anything to do with age is lame. Her not being shit would still be true if I were 15, so have a seat with your randomly dismissive attitude. She hasn’t been shit for a long time and it…

She can’t sing her own music. That’s not the production company’s fault. Who knew the greatest Mariah Carey Tribute Act would be Mariah Carey. She doesn’t sing or dance at this point. 15 year old me could ace her job. She’s resting on laurels she doesn’t have anymore. It’s time to retire and do the occassional…

There’s an episode of Firefly where the crew ends up going to a Wild West-style planet to help a madame protect one of her brothel workers from a john who was trying to take her baby upon birth. It turns out one of the other women sells out their plan to the super misogynist piece of trash. He makes a big speech about…

Beyonce has been brilliant in that she’s a canvass people can project their best vision onto. Up until this past year, she’s been a rather benign performer who, regardless of how one reveres her ability in that regard, has gone out of her way to keep herself as publically blank as possible. There was a period where…

My husband is obsessed. We watch every new song he posts. It’s adorkable.

My husband reposts everything from this guy. I think he may be his legit #1 fan.

Oooohhhhhh, you used the C word. Neat! If I’d never talked with an angry, stagnant middle-achiever on the internet before, it might have had the impact you were going for.

This is probably the banalest response you could have given.

Your demographic is literally becoming electorally irelevant. You won’t matter in 20 years. I’ll wait. I’m fine battling and intellectually torturing whiny man babies in the interim.
