Unremarkable

If one woman does something either remarkable or disgraceful, it is seen as a reflection on all women. If one man does something remarkable or disgraceful, it is considered only a mark against him.

The “Mother of Modern Presidents.” The Muttering of a Modern President. Number 1 in Swiss Cheese production. Number 1 in knee adduction. Home to one of the worst gender pay gaps in the country. Home to the elusive and often physically impossible “thigh gap.” Birthplace of Thomas Edison. Birthplace of runners rash. Hosts the world’s largest annual gathering of twins. A gathering of twin limbs. President’s plans for a visit altered because governor has coronavirus. President’s plans for a visit…

The Suburban Lifestyle Dream is an American Nightmare

July 31, 2020 Tiffany Quay Tyson

The stupidity boggles. Setting aside the fact that “Suburban Lifestyle Dream” sounds like a poorly conceived Stepford Barbie accessory, the notion that suburbs today are largely white, middle class neighborhoods is ludicrous. It’s outdated and offensive, just like Trump himself.
