I like the cut of this guy’s jib. (Leach, that is).

Interesting. Thank you for your insight - helpful and appreciated.

A couple questions, if you don’t mind:

-How long is the PhD program? One thing that turned me off of Philosophy and English PhD programs was that they were typically 8 (yes, 8) years long. I don’t have a masters.

-I’d be in my early thirties when I…

Because most of the damn time, men aren’t the ones being burdened with the responsibility of caring for children. I could shove some statistics in your face about single motherhood (VS single fatherhood) but won’t. It’s also not the man carrying the baby. I realize men can’t carry babies, but until they are showing up…

Your undermining and derailing skills are strong, brave troll.

Ah, there you go. Can I ask where you’re doing Cultural Studies, how you like it, and how you intend to use the degree once you’ve given your dissertation? I’m interested. (I’ve taken a hiatus from school but considering heading back in a year or two).

My background: I was an American Studies major in my all women’s…

I might consider this perspective more seriously if we didn’t live under patriarchy.
Patriarchy cares a lot about fetus life, but very little about actual living baby children. Or living women.
So really it’s not about people, it’s about controlling women’s bodies.
Anyway, too tired too expound further.

That was incredibly well thought out. Thanks for your response!
What, you a graduate student? (Only half kidding. Curious what has informed you here).

Oh, THAT’S why this brand tastes like ever-loving shit. (The packaging has also always sent off this-is-BS alarm bells). I guess you could say I have a pretty refined palate *turns up nose.*

It’s totally possible to be crazy about your partner and still into other people. I wish as a culture we could try to get on board with this idea so people didn’t keep so many ultimately devastating secrets.

“Cheating” is also a way of moving on from something that’s dead in everyway but legally.

I’m opposed to cheating. If you’re no longer in love with your partner, then courageously move on. If you’re still in love with them but aching to connect with others, then you better be on the same page about having an open…

This is sarcasm, right? For the love of humor and fun, I hope it is sarcasm.

For sure. I suppose I always thought of it as a mutually supportive and affectionate, with perhaps a little romance thrown in here and there. As for staying with the kids - like in all things in life, it depends. Obviously having a hostile relationship around children is no good, but if thngs simply aren’t ideal? I’m…

She mentions that she couldn’t stay in a “romantic relationship.” But is marriage a romantic relationship? Seriously asking.

I hear what she’s saying, but I’m also concerned that this tactic will lead to more “Lean Ins.” There are some positive things to learn from men, but women bring a ridiculous amount to the table that’s also positive. And frankly, the way men lead makes me fucking miserable and I have no desire to perpetuate it. Some…

Or the comic artist went with a conventionally pretty face with little features and Rihanna with her little features looks like a pretty comic-book character.

Yes, and I posted twice calling the author out (which we should all do). One of the most unethical pieces I’ve ever seen them publish. Just disgusting, shameless, and totally unjustifiable.

It’s not very good, but is it worth a fuck you?
Also, it’s terrible but I still watch....

Yups. The fact that the only nom was for Taraji sounds exactly right.

thanks for the lol.

Love Chandler, but naw, man.
such true talent and range. (there’s an even better scene with her when she’s trying to convince ross to give a relationship with her dad another go (her parents were divorced - she just wanted the relationship between these people she loved to work for once). it’s so effing devastating.
