Yes!!!!!! Sending you virtual hugs and high fives! I am also childfree by choice and get so sick of being belittled for my choice.
After finding out that I am married and CF I had someone tell me that women do not belong in the workplace & that their place is at home taking care of children. Umm... no. I’ve also been told it’s pointless to be married if I’m not going to reproduce.
And yes, both of those comments came from men. [emoji849]


THANK YOU!!!!!!
Also, a PHD! You rock!

OMG people never cease to amaze with their stupid comments!

Many years ago when I just starting working a man saw I did not have a ring on my finger and said something like “oh you’re not married yet, don’t worry honey it will happen for you some day!” I was very young and just in shock and didn’t know what to say. He was about 1000 years old so I chalked it up to just being from a different century [emoji23] It would go differently if that happened to me today. I’m older wiser and much more willing to tell someone to shut up lol

The beauty of being a women today is that we can chose to do whatever the hell we want! We don’t even really need you to make babies anymore! Ok maybe for a little part [emoji23]

Well I had an acquaintance say to me when I was pregnant—why bother having a child if you are going to be working. As if because the child would need to go to daycare, etc I wasn’t raising my child. Omg. I barely talked to her after that.

Isn’t it crazy when these comments come from other Women?! Like girl, we are in this together. Stop adding to the misogyny women have dealt with for all of our existence! I’m getting all worked up over here [emoji23]

I talked to CS again to voice my displeasure and feeling of being deceived because I asked up front if it was going to be an outlet bag before they even sent it out. They have no other retail ones in stock so this one is going back with a lovely note as well.

I do have these from the SAS to make me happy though so I won't be without a tote that's for sure. :biggrin:

You got some real beauties here! What a bummer you had to go through all that trouble. With these lovelies, I don't think you'll miss it. I am in love with the first one. It's really special.

So anyone coveting any particular color for a possible new spring/summer bag? I’m still thinking cobalt/sapphire since House mentioned it. Now it just needs to be released. [emoji14]

The chalk rogue with oxblood handles has the #1 spot on my list! I have a chalk Chelsea and love the color and find it to be surprisingly dirt resistant.

I’ve read there will be some sort of sale event in March like last year. That would be about 3 months from my last bag purchase and I think that’s a good amount of time for me [emoji23]

I would really like the chalk rogue 25. Maybe in March because it will take me that long to recover from this sale. LOL.

Thank you! No one should ever let men tell you that stuff. It's bad enough coming from other women!

My cousin and my mentor were told at Harvard that they were taking fellowships away from men.

I'm waiting for my Marco Massacessi bags! One shipment was supposed to be here by now, but I suspect the holiday shipping affected that. I need to contact him.
