As much as I can’t understand why anyone can voluntarily watch golf, I force myself to respect it because I am a different person during the Stanley cup playoffs. Best time of the year.
@Centrum Silver I can’t even follow up on this because your responses are stellar. @Will, nobody is offended by a “sup.” Your comments on this post reek of bullshit.
Sorry I posted this at 3am. Worth* not with, and A day without a woman, not a walk. My brain was thinking about the women’s march – which I also did not participate in.
I’d like to add to this. I am a conservative woman. Not a fan of Trump, however, and I have many, many liberal friends whom I adore. However, I often don’t feel comfortable discussing my opinions on things like feminism with them. I do love women and believe in women and I consider myself a feminist. I work incredibly hard, put myself through college, and purposely chose a career path that allowed me to always be able to take care of myself. I also believe there are women in this country and outside this country who are treated differently and poorly simply because they are women. I believe women SHOULD support and build other women up. Personally, I don’t participate in movements like this because my RIGHT as a woman (thank you equality) is that I am allowed to disagree. I don’t believe I am oppressed. I think there are a lot of things that suck and are different because I am a woman. But I don’t complain about it, I fight hard to overcome it and to help other women overcome it. However if you don’t wholeheartedly agree with many liberals (not all) they turn it around on you and make you feel like a bad person. I’ve devoted my entire life to the care of other people – I’m not a bad person. But I learned very quickly that most of these arguments aren’t with my time. So I support and love my liberal friends and my friends who participated in the walk, but I don’t believe in participating because I believe it was less about women and more a political statement and that was not something I wanted to be a part of. I’m not saying you are like this, but many liberals, especially liberal women, only support you back if you agree with their motives. If you don’t they don’t give you the time of day. I know many conservative women who love women and work hard to support each other yet feel rejected by the Democratic Party. Just food for thought.
Quinn – I think this is a very well written and clearly explained article. I think it’s brave of you to open yourself up for criticism like this and respond to it with such class. Personally I did not take IWD off. I am all about supporting woman and I do that by being a strong professional and by working hard to empower my coworkers and my peers. I appreciate the time you took to write this! Thanks so much for sharing. The backlash is unnecessary. It is entirely possible to partially agree or completely disagree without being an asshole.
Good morning! Just got home from my last of 4 nights in a row. Overtime nursing is way harder than I thought it would be. ‘Bout to devour some chicken parm for dinner (breakfast?). Cheers!
I tend to ignore people who slide into my DM’s. That’s not to say I think I’m better than them, but women are pretty well aware when you’re supping us and 20 others all at the same time. I prefer to meet people in person.
This is so accurate. I’ve always been in pretty good shape but running is a whole different beast. I tried doing couch to 5k but gave up after 3 weeks. Never again.

Also, sup?

As a Bruins fan, I live for game 7’s. That is where my guys thrive.

Totally agree. Couch to 5K is awesome but make sure you strength train your legs or you’re going to get sore knees like I did
Do it for the content
Take that back! I am a firm believer in the joys and deliciousness of Girl Scout cookies.

I was actually bummed Nick let Corinne go. She was the only one I could actually see him with. They were kinda perfect for each other.

Perfection takes time. Have some patience.
Please let there be! I want to compare night shift notes
Wow… and I was bugging out about turning 24.
