When I was in high school, I lived with two teenage boys, my brother and my cousin. My brother was 2 years older and my cousin was 1 year older than me. Every night, my mom would call us to dinner. I would leave my room, go to the bathroom, wash my hands... and although it would

Dear Ashley...

There’s an interesting convo on TikTok right now of how men weaponize food against women: the cooking, the gluttonous overeating and being inconsiderate, etc etc. Women are sharing stories of the men around them eating up food in the home with no consideration of others. Whew.
One of my best friends from high school met her boyfriend at 19. They met at church. Everyone agreed that he was a wonderful guy and they made a great couple. He said he was open to marriage, but never wanted kids. At the time, this was something she could live with. They dated,
I have a semi-related food story that may or may not add context to this weird situation. I remember one day as a teen, I woke up and I was starving, but I was also dead tired. Even though I could cook, my mom at the time made the best eggs. I asked very politely if she could

It's been a long time theory that Kris released the full version of the recording to throw Kanye under the bus when Kim and Kanye's marriage was on the rocks. But Taylor remembers. It wasn't Kanye's name she said in the Time's article, it was "Kim Kardashian".
Yesterday, I was walking down Broadway in Nashville with my friend Eric and I felt a dark storm cloud appear above my head. No rhyme, no reason. It merely appeared and the demon of my inner bitch reared its ugly head. I stopped walking, turned to Eric, and said, "I don't know x.com/SWENGDAD/statu

I once had a guy flake out on a first date with me with only 10 hours notice because, and I quote "I saw this picture of a pitbull at this rescue and I want to meet him." He texted me 3 weeks later, asking to reschedule, and I went just to see it through... It was on the date

It’s funny that a lot of people assume being stood up isn’t something that happens to cute girls
In reality, everyone is just so freaking flaky these days that you’re all but guaranteed to have it happen at least once if you do basically any form of dating x.com/sadgirlyboss/s…
I once went on a date with a man the day I was ovulating. All I could think was, "Wow! He has really nice arms. Could fight a bear. Could probably hold a baby!"
Our second date was during a specific time of the month... As Cher Horowitz would say, "surfing the crimson wave." It

I was 28. Spent a year unemployed in a terrible job market. Broke down over not being married and not having a family of my own (something I'd wanted all my life). Spent that time going to the gym every day, physical therapy once a month, and eating a healthy diet. Was being

The best part of this story is I was tested for hypothyroidism at 24. The doctor said my thyroid was fine. So I went on with my life feeling like utter sh*t for no reason. In the meantime, doctors tried (and failed) to put me on every SSRI under the sun while I sought out a

Something like 90% of hypothyroidism is caused by Hashimoto's, an autoimmune disease that attacks the thyroid. Other causes include iodine deficiency, thyroid cancer, issues with the pituitary gland, etc. I am part of the very rare subset of people where doctors ran all of the
On a *slightly* different note... If restaurants started offering smaller portions at a reduced price for women, would you go for it?
In Japan, menus would often have a "male portion" and a "female portion" option with the "female portion" being at a reduced price. This was also

I’m going to be real if the men and boys in your household are eating leftovers quickly without even asking anyone else first you are not feeding them enough. Girl dinner is not going to cut it. I don’t think many of us realize how much more food guys need. It took me a bit, too.

She definitely enabled his behavior so now he talks back to her as an adult. I've said more than once to him that he needs to be nicer to her, but he is the one with kids and I have none. She has this weird idea in her head she needs to cater to him or else she will lose access
This is what happens when Christian parents don't talk to their children about sex and force them to live in an isolated sexless purity culture echo chamber. The boys find and learn from porn and the girls are taught sex as something they are supposed to dutifully submit to,

This is why society needs to apply just as much pressure on men to commit as it does to women.

There was a 2 year period in my 20s where every new single guy I met had already slept with this friend of mine. We are talking 12+ single guys. This isn't a shame my friend post, as I know she was strugging with her own issues of self-worth. But it definitely made every single

James led Augustine on. He slept with her while being in love with another girl and ditched her after a season. Manwhore vibes. Both girls deserve better.

Yeah, there was definitely some dropping the ball. My brother was better at it than my cousin, who was raised by very selfish parents.
I was recently on vacation in Nashville with my friend, Eric. It is important to this story that I tell you Eric is gay. There is this trope that many gay men actually hate their female friends, and while I have encountered this, Eric is fortunately not one of those types. In

They both seem like genuinely nice people. They treat acting like a job, ignore most fame traps, and dedicated themselves to their kids.

Every kid I knew growing up was told they were special. Boomer parents really went out of their way to tell them they were the smartest, most talented kids they'd ever met and could do anything they wanted when they grew up. It should be no surprise that so many of those kids

At dinner tonight with my parents, my mom was telling me stories from when I was a kid and how I am pretty much exactly the same person now as I was at 7 years old. When I was in second grade, my teacher asked us to write and draw a couple of pages about what we did for summer
