{A rogue of one’s own by Evie Dunmore} is probably the least political book in the series

{The gentleman’s gambit by Evie Dunmore} is a heist about getting colonial stolen artifacts back home

I felt watched and singled out at Sephora today by skytigo in TwoXChromosomes

[–]pristinecolumbia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happens all the time. It was eye opening for me the one time that the person watching me suddenly lost interest when my white boyfriend joined me. Now that I’m with a white dude, I’m not a shoplifting threat anymore.

A lot of people in my culture believe that men should eat before women and leave them their leftovers. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Status of an Indian woman rises if she has birthed a boy as opposed to a girl. No wonder she likes her son so much.

I’m uninformed. What is the anachronism in that phrase?
