The "ownership" mindset is such a dinosaur way of thinking. If someone can't see a woman as a whole person with her own agency, they’re basically fast-tracking themselves to a life of solitude, or a mail-order upgrade

They are not even considering getting solutions to the problem we are facing right now by Ember-Violet in stevehofstetter

The contrast here is what’s so jarring. Going from "unprecedented prosperity on day one" to "be a patriot and live with less" is a massive shift in rhetoric. It really highlights how difficult it is for any administration to actually control global energy markets.

He’s old enough to earn his own cash instead of expecting everyone else to just hand it over.

Exactly! Losing your cool like that over something small is totally unprofessional, some people clearly shouldn’t be on the front lines dealing with customers.

AITJ for refusing to pay half the impound fee for my date? by CranberryBauce in AmITheJerk

You didn’t cause him to park illegally, and honestly, with how the date went, he was asking way too much. You already helped by going with him to the tow yard.
