TFW you work 3.5 hours late on a Friday & it was your own choice (Running a practice AP chem exam for my students) Do I regret it? No. Am I leaving the house tonight? Also no.

@dhaaruni I learned about this from the TV show JAG, because the actress mentioned that they had to tailor all the Navy uniforms for her on the show so that they'd actually look good. I'm like...you can do that?!?!?

I'm not sure how people haven't mentioned it but the very simple fix for the "finding appropriate professional and formal attire while having big boobs" problem is to size up to the largest part of your body and tailor down. Source: I'm a 30DDD, so if I can manage, so can you.

as a large boob-haver at only 4’11 so they look even bigger than they are, i am genuinely so frustrated that women are still having to explain that there’s no way for us to throw on a new pair of business-casual tits for work

@emilykmay We do Ross, occasionally other discount places like DeeDee Discounts or Nordstrom Rack. If you're willing to embrace the hunt and seek, you can find really high quality stuff for cheap. 👖 for <$10 etc. When I go hiking in a better ZIP code, I check *their* Ross.

where are we buying our kid's clothes these days? I used to feel like target and old navy were my staples for decent/inexpensive but they have gotten so much pricier? I've seen play dresses for $35?!!

@marcportermagee Some of these seem like really dumb degrees. No one *sane* is getting a BA in physics chemistry or math. Anyone who wants to study physics chemistry in your mouth is going to get a B.S. It's probably worth cutting

Thinking about what would be good for a first job for a 14/15yo kid that would teach them hard work and conflict resolution without putting them through fat grown adults verbally abusing them over french fries

@lymanstoneky A lot of the great scientific advancements have been made by couples who worked together, or who worked in similar in a fields that they got some collaborative benefit. The only place I see that hires couples is like campground or apartment manager these days

The key to realize here is before like 1920, *women were also economically indispensable to men*. It wasn’t “men do the production, women are for sex and babies.” It’s just production was *bonding* rather than *separating* So the real Based take is: we should *hire couples* for jobs.
The Institute for Family Studies@FamStudies

The problem is not that men have lost the breadwinner role, argues Grant Martsolf in response to @BradWilcoxIFS and @MariaBaerWrites It's that successive economic transformations have stripped the household of the functions that once made men and women economically indispensable to each other.

@thepiclord Yes, and many many women (and men) who ultimately married their HS or college sweetheart 100% would’ve become this type had they not lucked out early in this very specific way. Missing parental figure may be the case, but IME these folks often come from religious backgrounds.

These are all real types of single women, but it’s missing a very large, mostly invisible category: women who either had one bf in HS/college, or no bf at all, and just never figured out adult dating. They always assumed it’d “happen if it’s supposed to happen” and it never did.
Roman Helmet Guy@romanhelmetguy

I’m convinced that all these guys who come up with proposals to “fix the fertility rate” have never talked to a woman. They treat it like an economics problem they can optimize, or even worse they just tell women to have kids to “save civilization.” If you actually spend time with women who aren’t having kids, you’ll find they almost all fall into one of five buckets: 1. Dating problems. They were in some 5+ year relationship (or a series of relationships) that stole their youth and left them so jaded that they’ve given up on finding a man who could be a good father. 2. Family problems. They come from such a dysfunctional home that their own childhood holds few happy memories, and they’re terrified of recreating those conditions with their own children. 3. Health problems. A ton more women than you think have conditions like endometriosis or PCOS or other health complications that can affect fertility and make having kids more dangerous or harder to do. 4. Career goals. They’re convinced that they have something huge and unique to contribute to the world either professionally or creatively, whereas “every woman can have a kid,” and so to them, having children sounds like a waste of their potential, like giving up. 5. Lifestyle goals. They’re really into traveling and being independent and getting into “adventures,” they want to explore the world and experience everything, and the idea of giving all that up to sit at home and raise kids makes them want to die. If you really want to fix the fertility rate, and you’re not addressing at least a few of these, your solution is useless.

Every woman knows multiple women like this - they’re often super lovely and very thoughtful friends - but men don’t even realize they exist because they largely don’t for them.

@HannahWardEdu That VAPA column also those orchestra musicians and other classically trained arts people. Who typically have very high intelligence, even if they don't always do well in school. It'd be interesting to see the double profession column - the nurse who moonlights as a cellist etc

@Jani__Gee This is so true. I work at a mostly casual private school - they have to wear something with the school logo on it but not a full uniform. I've heard the principal explaining to multiple parents if you send your child in a $500 necklace, and they lose it, we are not liable.

@kaeruZangyo Yes, Yes, the uphill slopes are twice as numerous. My mom grew up in Japan and she said that she had to go to school uphill both ways, so clearly there were a lot of uphill slopes.

@TinyWriterLaura It's the hourglass dichotomy: if you wear something structured and professional, you look a little bit like a hoe. If you wear something loose and flowing, you look 30 lb heavier and unprofessionally sloppy. The flat chested coworkers can wear either and look good

@ShamashAran Then it's more if you need the special kind of oil because you have an older car or European car. That's also not counting disposal fees. So yes $60 is the floor. They make money off of all the other stuff, the oil change is the bait on the hook

If you're using synthetic oil (and you SHOULD BE) Assuming an average 4cyl car that takes ~5 quarts of oil: 5 quarts of Mobil 1 synthetic 0w16 is about $40. Oil filters can be about $10 So your oil change costs $50 in parts alone. So you can do the oil change yourself for half the price. Back when i worked at an oil change shop, I made $20/hr. lets be really nice and say it takes 30 mins to change your oil, so another $10 for labor (this is overestimating, to be clear) so at the top end, in costs alone it costs $60 That's the absolute FLOOR of what an oil change should cost, and nobody makes much if any money doing it.

Are oil changes supposed to be $100 or is that bc im a woman

@LorentLouise We did something similar as fifth graders (public). The school had this whole area of miniature storefronts, everyone was fighting over who got to be the doctor and give people Band-Aids & pretend to listen to their heart.

The children are running a micro-society in homeschool co-op today. It's really quite impressive (kudos to the mom who set it up). The older kids are running businesses, paying employees, etc. Every child was given 25 "dollars" to start with.

@HannahWardEdu This is the right kind of neutral clinical language for this topic to be age appropriate. I would hope that there were more detailed lessons in later chapters about what to *do* now that your body is changing, about showers and deodorant and pads and things.

Honest opinions please. I'm writing a review for a series of books for parent-directed knowledge-based read alouds. This series has gotten some grief from people for a few different reasons, one of them is this section in the 5th Grade book. Note: this lesson would be presented by a parent. Thoughts?

@romanhelmetguy To add to number 1 dating problems can include being single for long periods of time. Sometimes feelings are unrequited or the future husband just never shows up. Some women save themselves for a marriage and family that never happens.

@romanhelmetguy Add 6. Dating Problems but Opposite: wants to marry & have kids but too shy/socially awkward to do the stupid Tindr/bumble thing so just perpetually single. Curses at whoever told men to stop asking people out. (I know many men who also fit in this category)
