No, that’s not why. Lots of us were approached that way as kids. And yet I don’t at all see that she’s been forced into this work. She’s obviously a capable, bright, articulate person who knows how to plan.

FOR YOU. Maybe for her it’s something else? Have you noticed how thoughtful she is and the fact that she enjoys the work?

Did you even read this article? This is one of the most articulate, thoughtful, self-possessed voices I’ve heard in a long time. She obviously knows what she’s doing and has given it a lot of thought. AND SHE ENJOYS IT. Lol, fuck you lol.

Work I loved: naked modeling for art students. Honestly. I adored that job. If I…

THIS EXACTLY. I’m a fucking scientific editor and I’m still devalued because I’m a woman.

Yep. It’s because they can’t fathom the change in their own lives if they admit the seriousness of what the guy did.

My college boyfriend, the guy I had my life wrapped around for years, molested (at a minimum) a couple of 12-year-old boys when he was working at a prep school in Indiana soon after we graduated. For…

Someone should tell her that her neck is falling down.

So...it’s an interesting thing.

I’m really glad there’s all this out-loud tv about sex and how it really goes, and how people try things and have fun and are totally distracted by lust for a solid decade or two. I mean I was there. But I find that...I’m just not interested anymore, really. I did it, for decades, and I…

Huh. Interesting. I used to get that shit all the time in my late 20s and early 30s, and after I divorced at 40, with one kid, people were all over me to find someone else...and then it just stopped. Which was very nice. I don’t know why people stopped (they assume I’m gay, too old, ugly, married already, terrifying...…

Please go away until you’ve learned some things about what happens to women when they behave in the way that you’re absolutely dying to have them behave. You just keep saying the same things over and over and refuse to hear or learn.

You’re not a misogynist. You’re a thickskulled brogressive who refuses to look at the realities the people who actually live them are trying to inform him about. You’re also frustrated because you know no way other than pounding your way through a situation and it doesn’t work here, so you’re still insisting that it…

I can just see the new essay:

NAKED AND ALONE AT AWP

OH MY GOD YOU ARE THE LITERAL WORST.

Oh my god. Is there a point at which you stop being stupid?

Do you think you could stop being reflexively defensive long enough for an idea to penetrate your amazingly thick skull? An idea that a whole lot of people have just piled on you to try to pound through it?

Person shows up with a laughably stupid idea of how women running for office should respond to male rudeness.…

AHAHAHAHA it has no bearing on the topic AHAHAHAHAHA oh man you’re hilarious.

Fuck you.

Seriously, men like you make me question having anything to do with men, ever. As in why do I work with or for them. Why do I teach them. Why do I help them get ahead. Why do I do anything in the world that helps them or does good in their world. I have to pull back and recall that not every dude is a crap dude, even…

A fucking men.

Man, I am unbelievably tired of dudebros who think that the way to deal with every problem is to come in screaming with neck veins bulging and FIND YOU A THROWDOWN. Fucking selfish, childish shit.

You didn’t answer her question. Do you in fact know what you’re talking about? Are you now, or have you ever been a woman?
