Has your boyfriend thought about speaking someone in the HR department about it? Because some of that stuff sounds like sexual harassment to me, eye opening or not.

I am very thankful that my mother has worked retail for years, and was a hiring manager of a retail store when I started looking for my first job. She knew the law backwards and forwards and made damn sure I did too. Her knowledge was so valuable, and helped me avoid getting screwed over by a shady manager. Honestly,…

It's taken me a long time to figure out why I hate being catcalled in almost every scenario but I think it's a combination of factors. For many women, when wanted/unwanted male attention starts, you're pretty young – a pre-teen or teenager. At that age, I didn't understand my own sexuality or really any one elses. I…

Of course they can pack a lunch if they wish. The only downside I would see to this is those on the Free/Reduced Lunch program. Our schools have been using the new standards since last year. They don't force feed them Kale, they just make them choose a fruit. People need to calm the fuck down.

OMG YOU HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE KEITH THANK YOU

Yes. The commonly used phrase at our house when my kids turn up their nose at dinner "Well, breakfast will be served in the morning". They always eat. It's like a miracle.

It is simple. If your kid doesn't like the school lunch, PACK A LUNCHBOX. I feel quite sure that the people complaining about these standards are not on Free/Reduced Lunch.

They also hate her because she's doing anything even remotely visible with her platform, even though she took care to choose issues (children's health/fitness; supporting families of veterans) that should have been beyond partisan reproach. FOX mouthbreathers hate a First Lady who does anything other than gaze…

Going old skool on the issue of food never hurt anyone. I regularly tell my kids "This is not a restaurant" and "You eat what you get. If you don't eat it, you don't get anything else until that's eaten".

The majority of foods some children eat come from school lunches, especially in impoverished areas. Kentucky is #47 in wealth for the US and one of the top ten fattest states. So there is a definite connection between school lunch and the eating behaviors of children.

d) are subsidized by the government, and why should the government be spending money to make kids less healthy?

But school lunches a) affect children's health, b) desperately need improvement, and c) can be directly changed by the government.

HI, I LOVE YOU. CAN WE HANG OUT SOME DAY? HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT ALL-CAPS?

1) There are a lot of extremely healthy people who are "fat" see: my cousin who runs 5k marathons for shits and giggles

She speaks as though she has something to say that is worthy of being heard. That's a pretty grave offense for a lot of FOX viewers, coming from a black woman.

Uppity. I think they mean uppity.

I don't know that there is anything you can do, other than be yourself. But I also wouldn't go out in the world thinking women are carrying these assumptions. Many women are wary but if we're looking for love, we're probably also open to possibility. You are putting quite a lot on yourself to imagine that you have to…

I did worry but I was also really committed to writing the violence as honestly and plainly as I could. The book is not for everyone but I also don't think it is singularly defined by the violence. An Untamed State is about so much more.

I go by Roxane. I don't see that as a cheap move. Points are points and using an S to hook is just a way of creating space on the board to make points.

Eat or don't eat what you want, but her glazed-eyes-mouth-breathing-red-carpet-movie-star face mostly just reads to me as "My blood sugar is low." *shrug*
