  • Huh? Which part is strictly a working class thing?

    There’s a large spectrum between “I’ll wear it until it falls apart,” and, “I’ve never worn this but I need space for new clothes so it’s going to goodwill,” and working class people fall all over it.

    Women generally tend to be the ones who will more frequently refresh their wardrobe. All you have to do is go to a thrift store to see the difference between genders. The women’s clothing section will be massive, and the men’s section significantly smaller.










  • My college sociology professor would, for some reason, go into abstinence only rants.

    Being the contrarian I am, I fact checked everything she said. For example, she claimed the CDC said that condoms were 100% ineffective at preventing pregnancy and STDs. So I pulled up the webpage on contraception and called her out.

    Her favorite thing to say was that sex ed was like giving kids keys to a car and expecting them not to drive. Eventually I started responding, “No, it’s like teaching them how to drive so they can do it safely when they’re ready.” Her response was always to change the subject.

    To her credit, despite me constantly arguing with her, I still got a B in the class (skipped an exam}.

    The next semester she banned laptops from her classroom. She tried to ban mine, but I got disability services involved (ADHD).
