Ooo sounds good... I miss meat :/ It's Lent for me rn, so no animal products until May something :,)

Oh, I'm not religious.

Can you explain what lent is? Just curious

Yes! I'm an Orthodox Christian, and Lent is the time of preparation for Easter, the Lord's Resurrection. It's 40 days long, in remembrance of the Lord's 40 days in the wilderness. Traditionally you give up all animal products. In the Catholic Church, fasting usually isn't as strict. I don't remember what specifically. In Protestant Churches, there usually isn't any type of fasting.

oh, nice. I thought it just meant to give up something important to you. Do other people do that, too? Somebody made a joke in a thread that somebody gave them (the thread) up for lent (the said person hasn't been active on BYC).. So I thought it was just giving up something you enjoyed for a period of time

You can do that too, it's just more traditional when you're an older teen/adult to do animal products

A blessed Lent to you!

I had a question for y'all. If you've ever dealt with a sexist, misogynistic teacher, what did you do? I have one, and I'm tired of everyone just ignoring it. In 7th grade he called me the 21st century feminist for an ENTIRE YEAR because I said that women could have a career outside of the home. He constantly says stuff like "women belong in the kitchen." When we read medieval literature and there just happen to be two women and some idiot men, he blames the men's adultery/idiocy on the women. I'm sick and tired of keeping my mouth shut when this boomer opens his mouth and drags the majority of his students through the mud.

Why on earth is this even getting brought up? Which class is this?
